As the follower of Jesus traverses the end times, walking to and fro amongst the scourges of the end times earth, he should be comforted by the knowledge that he is NOT on his jaunt alone.
The follower of Jesus walks hand-in-hand with the most POWERFUL being in the universe: The Creator of ALL, God Almighty.
AND, God promises protection to ALL of His people who are chosen by Him.
“Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”
–Deuteronomy 31:6
God does NOT want His people to be FEARFUL–and with GOOD reason.
Being FEARFUL when one is under the protection of the most POWERFUL being known is NOT wise. In fact, being FEARFUL when under the protection of God is saying to God, “I do NOT believe you! I do NOT believe what you say!”
Which is one reason God punishes the fearful like He does others who are more UPFRONT about their UNBELIEF.
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
–Revelation 21:8
There are MANY reasons not to FEAR when accompanied by God. God’s Word provides ammo for the believer.
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
–2TIMOTHY 1:7
Being FEARFUL when one is a follower of Jesus Christ means that the follower does NOT believe he is ‘perfect in love.’
“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
The end times world is an unfamiliar, scary place–UNLESS one is protected by the ONE WHO CREATED THAT SCARY END TIMES WORLD.
When one is accompanied by God–the MOST POWERFUL FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE–one should be COMPLETELY fear-free.
IF God cannot protect the reader–and He is ready and able to do so–then there is NO protection to be found.
DOES the reader believe he has the ULTIMATE PROTECTION?
It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE 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
