2:10-12
-LCB- 382 -RCB- Now I saw in my dream , that by this time the Pilgrims were got over the Enchanted Ground , and entering into the country of Beulah , whose air was very sweet and pleasant , the way lying directly through it , they solaced themselves there for a season . Yea , here they heard continually the singing of birds , and saw every day the flowers appear on the earth , and heard the voice of the turtle in the land . -LSB- Isa . 62:4 , Song of Solomon 2:10-12 -RSB- In this country the sun shineth night and day ; wherefore this was beyond the Valley of the Shadow of Death , and also out of the reach of Giant Despair , neither could they from this place so much as see Doubting Castle . Here they were within sight of the city they were going to , also here met them some of the inhabitants thereof ; for in this land the Shining Ones commonly walked , because it was upon the borders of heaven . In this land also , the contract between the bride and the bridegroom was renewed ; yea , here , `` As the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride , so did their God rejoice over them . '' -LSB- Isa .
