Don’t be controlled by love for money. Be happy with what you have. God has said,“ I will never leave you. I will never desert you.”( Deuteronomy 31:6)So we can say boldly,“ The Lord helps me. I will not be afraid. What can mere human beings do to me?”( Psalm 118:6, 7)

It was the third year that Cyrus, the king of Persia, ruled over Babylon. At that time I was living in Babylon. There the people called me Belteshazzar. A message from God came to me. It was true. It was about a great war. I had a vision that showed me what it meant.At that time I was very sad for three weeks.I didn’t eat any rich food. No meat or wine touched my lips. I didn’t use any lotions at all until the three weeks were over.I was standing on the bank of the great Tigris River. It was the 24th day of the first month.I looked up and saw a man dressed in linen clothes. He had a belt around his waist. It was made out of fine gold from Uphaz.His body gleamed like topaz. His face shone like lightning. His eyes were like flaming torches. His arms and legs were as bright as polished bronze. And his voice was like the sound of a large crowd.I was the only one who saw the vision. The people who were there with me didn’t see it. But they were so terrified that they ran and hid.So I was left alone as I was watching this great vision. I felt very weak. My face turned as pale as death. And I was helpless.Then I heard the man speak. As I listened to him, I fell sound asleep. My face was toward the ground.A hand touched me. It pulled me up on my hands and knees. I began to tremble with fear.The man said,“ Daniel, you are highly respected. Think carefully about what I am going to say to you. And stand up. God has sent me to you.” When he said that, I trembled as I stood up.He continued,“ Do not be afraid, Daniel. You decided to get more understanding. You made yourself humble as you worshiped your God. Since the first day you did those things, your words were heard. I have come to give you an answer.But the prince of Persia opposed me for 21 days. Then Michael came to help me. He is one of the leaders of the angels. He helped me win the battle over the king of Persia.Now I have come to explain the vision to you. I will tell you what will happen to your people. The vision shows what will take place in days to come.”While he was telling me these things, I bowed with my face toward the ground. I wasn’t able to speak.Then someone who looked like a man touched my lips. I opened my mouth. I began to speak to the one who was standing in front of me. I said,“ My master, I’m greatly troubled because of the vision I’ve seen. And I feel very weak.

Family of Jacob, the Lord created you. People of Israel, he formed you. He says,“ Do not be afraid. I will set you free. I will send for you by name. You belong to me.

“ Every word of God is perfect. He is like a shield to those who trust in him. He keeps them safe.

In the past, God spoke to our people through the prophets. He spoke at many times. He spoke in different ways.

In Israel, prophets used to be called seers. So if someone wanted to ask God for advice, they would say,“ Come on. Let’s go to the seer.”

Then the Lord said,“ Listen to my words.“ Suppose there is a prophet among you. I, the Lord, make myself known to them in visions. I speak to them in dreams.

David also said to his son Solomon,“ Be strong and brave. Get to work. Don’t be afraid. Don’t lose hope. The Lord God is my God. He is with you. He won’t fail you. He won’t desert you until all the work for serving in the Lord’ s temple is finished.

I heard a loud voice from the throne. It said,“ Look! God now makes his home with the people. He will live with them. They will be his people. And God himself will be with them and be their God.‘ He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death.’( Isaiah 25:8) And there will be no more sadness. There will be no more crying or pain. Things are no longer the way they used to be.”

Then he said to me,“ Son of man, go to the people of Israel. Give them my message.

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead. Then he put his right hand on me and said,“ Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.

That means Paul or Apollos or Peter or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All are yours.

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.

An evil person really earns nothing. But the one who plants what is right will certainly be rewarded.

Do not be afraid. I am with you. I will bring your people back from the east. I will gather you from the west.

The Lord says to his people,“ I comfort you because of who I am. Why are you afraid of mere human beings? They are like grass that dries up.

He became hungry. He wanted something to eat. While the meal was being prepared, Peter had a vision.He saw heaven open up. There he saw something that looked like a large sheet. It was being let down to earth by its four corners.It had all kinds of four- footed animals in it. It also had reptiles and birds in it.Then a voice told him,“ Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”“ No, Lord! I will not!” Peter replied.“ I have never eaten anything that is not pure and‘ clean.’ ”The voice spoke to him a second time. It said,“ Do not say anything is not pure that God has made‘ clean.’ ”This happened three times. Right away the sheet was taken back up to heaven.Peter was wondering what the vision meant. At that very moment the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house. They stopped at the gate

I was 30 years old. I was with my people. We had been taken away from our country. We were by the Kebar River in the land of Babylon. On the fifth day of the fourth month, the heavens were opened. I saw visions of God.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but can’t kill the soul. Instead, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in hell.Aren’t two sparrows sold for only a penny? But not one of them falls to the ground outside your Father’s care.He even counts every hair on your head!So don’t be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.

I made you. I formed you when you were born as a nation. I will help you. So listen to what I am saying. Family of Jacob, do not be afraid. You are my servant. People of Israel, I have chosen you.

The men replied,“ We have come from Cornelius, the Roman commander. He is a good man who worships God. All the Jewish people respect him. A holy angel told him to invite you to his house. Then Cornelius can hear what you have to say.”

Do not tremble with fear. Do not be afraid. Didn’t I announce everything that has happened? Didn’t I tell you about it long ago? You are my witnesses. Is there any other God but me? No! There is no other Rock. I do not know even one.”

The angel said to the women,“ Don’t be afraid. I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
