Revelation 1:15-18~

"...and in the midst of the seven lampstands,
I saw One like the Son of Man,
clothed with a garment down to the feet
and girded about the chest with a golden band.

His head and hair were white like wool,
as white as snow,
and His eyes like a flame of fire;

His feet were like fine brass,
as if refined in a furnace,
and His voice as the sound
of many waters;

He had in His right hand seven stars,
out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword,
and His countenance was like the sun
shining in its strength.

And when I saw Him,
I fell at His feet as dead.
But He laid His right hand
on me saying to me,
"Do not be afraid;
I am the First and the Last.
I am He who lives,
and was dead,
and I have the keys of Hades
and of death..."

And do not fear those who kill the body but
cannot kill the soul.
But rather fear Him
who is able to destroy both
soul and body in hell.~Jesus
(Matt.10:28)

The LORD is my light and
my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
(Ps. 27:1)

Whenever I am afraid,
I will trust in You.
(Ps. 56:3)

...Do not be afraid of their threats,
nor be troubled.
The LORD of hosts,
Him you shall hallow;
Let Him be your fear,
And let Him be your dread.
(Isaiah 8:12b,13)
