What does the Bible say about the horror of great darkness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes the horror of great darkness as a deep spiritual awareness of one's sinfulness in the presence of a holy God.

The concept of the 'horror of great darkness' is illustrated in Genesis 15, where Abram experiences profound dread as he contemplates his own inadequacy before God. This moment of existential fear serves to reveal the reality of sin and our inability to stand before a holy God apart from His righteousness. It is a critical acknowledgment that highlights our need for redemption, pointing to the necessity of Christ’s righteousness for salvation. This theme resonates throughout Scripture, affirming that true spiritual insight often comes through experiencing the darkness of our own sinfulness.
