Fear and Protection in the End Times

“The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.”
–Proverbs 28:1

God’s Word warns that the “wages of sin is death.”

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
–Romans 6:23

But “death” is a wage which is not only payable upon one’s passing from this present life: sin has other rewards which are gathered and enjoyed in the world in which we now live.

One of the most prominent of these sinful rewards is FEAR.

“The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him”
–Proverbs 10:24

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”
–1THESSALONIANS 5:3

“The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor. A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him. He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword. He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.”
–Job 15:20-24

“And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.”
–Leviticus 26:17-18

Sin makes men cowards. Whatever difficulties the righteous meet in the way of duty, they are not daunted.
—Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary

Fear is a torment which is the province of the wicked.

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”
–1JOHN 4:18

While the wicked may have riches in this present life–which many times prove difficult to hold onto–they also have other considerations: FEAR being chief among them.

There is ONLY one source of real protection: God.

AND, the believer is well aware of this.

So, while the believer may be less prosperous in this life, he enjoys the confidence which comes from knowing that he is under God’s protection eternally and, in many cases, in this present life.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
–Jeremiah 29:11

Of what does the reader think when he thinks about “protection“?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
