So do not be afraid. I am with you. Do not be terrified. I am your God. I will make you strong and help you. I will hold you safe in my hands. I always do what is right.“ All those who are angry with you will be put to shame. And they will be dishonored. Those who oppose you will be destroyed. And they will vanish.You might search for your enemies. But you will not find them. Those who go to war against you will completely disappear.I am the Lord your God. I take hold of your right hand. I say to you,‘ Do not be afraid. I will help you.’Family of Jacob, you are as weak as a worm. But do not be afraid. People of Israel, there are only a few of you. But do not be afraid. I myself will help you,” announces the Lord. He is the one who sets his people free. He is the Holy One of Israel.

“ People of Judah, do not agree with those who say Isaiah is guilty of treason. Do not fear what they fear. Do not be afraid.The Lord rules over all. So you must think about him as holy. You must have respect for him. You must fear him.

They aren’t afraid when bad news comes. They stand firm because they trust in the Lord.

You won’t have to be afraid of the terrors that come during the night. You won’t have to fear the arrows that come at you during the day.

He will keep you safe from words that can hurt you. You won’t need to be afraid when everything is being destroyed.You will laugh when things are being destroyed. You will enjoy life even when there isn’t enough food. You won’t be afraid of wild animals.

We might be thrown into the blazing furnace. But the God we serve is able to bring us out of it alive. He will save us from your power.But we want you to know this, Your Majesty. Even if we knew that our God wouldn’t save us, we still wouldn’t serve your gods. We wouldn’t worship the gold statue you set up.”

“ So commit yourself to God completely. Reach out your hands to him for help.Get rid of all the sin you have. Don’t let anything that is evil stay in your tent.Then, free of those things, you can face others. You can stand firm without being afraid.

He said to his disciples,“ Why are you so afraid? Don’t you have any faith at all yet?”

But suppose you do suffer for doing what is right. Even then you will be blessed. Scripture says,“ Don’t fear what others say they will do to hurt you. Don’t be afraid.”( Isaiah 8:12)

It will happen very suddenly. A terrible death will take them away completely.

“ Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God. Believe in me also.

God is our place of safety. He gives us strength. He is always there to help us in times of trouble.The earth may fall apart. The mountains may fall into the middle of the sea. But we will not be afraid.The waters of the sea may roar and foam. The mountains may shake when the waters rise. But we will not be afraid.

Suddenly a terrible storm came up on the lake. The waves crashed over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.The disciples went and woke him up. They said,“ Lord! Save us! We’re going to drown!”He replied,“ Your faith is so small! Why are you so afraid?” Then Jesus got up and ordered the winds and the waves to stop. It became completely calm.

The Lord is my light, and he saves me. Why should I fear anyone? The Lord is my place of safety. Why should I be afraid?My enemies are evil. They will trip and fall when they attack me and try to swallow me up.

But not a hair on your head will be harmed.Remain strong in the faith, and you will receive eternal life.“ A time is coming when you will see armies surround Jerusalem. Then you will know that it will soon be destroyed.Those who are in Judea should then escape to the mountains. Those in the city should get out. Those in the country should not enter the city.This is the time when God will punish Jerusalem. Everything will come true, just as it has been written.How awful it will be in those days for pregnant women! How awful for nursing mothers! There will be terrible suffering in the land. There will be great anger against those people.Some will be killed by the sword. Others will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be taken over by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles come to an end.“ There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. The nations of the earth will be in terrible pain. They will be puzzled by the roaring and tossing of the sea.Terror will make people faint. They will be worried about what is happening in the world. The sun, moon and stars will be shaken from their places.At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud. He will come with power and great glory.When these things begin to take place, stand up. Hold your head up with joy and hope. The time when you will be set free will be very close.”

I will laugh when hard times hit you like a storm. I will laugh when danger comes your way like a windstorm. I will make fun of you when suffering and trouble come.

“ The prophet Daniel spoke about‘ the hated thing that destroys.’( Daniel 9:27; 11:31; 12:11) Someday you will see it standing in the holy place. The reader should understand this.

Do not be afraid when you hear about wars and about fighting against rulers. Those things must happen first. But the end will not come right away.”

You will hear about wars. You will also hear people talking about future wars. Don’t be alarmed. Those things must happen. But the end still isn’t here.
