Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. “Fear thou not”: Israel need not fear God’s destructive judgment, as the rest of the nations do because He is their God and faithful to His promise to restore the nation. This is a promise to physical Israel, and a promise to spiritual Israel, as well. Fear is the opposite of faith. God does not want His people to fear, but to have faith in Him. He was with the children of Israel {physical}, when He dwelt in the holy of holies above the mercy seat. He is with all believers in Christ, because He dwells inside of us. Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Jesus is the Right Hand of God. Jesus is the doer part of the Godhead. Jesus is Creator God. He is the Word of God that created all things. John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Notice, it is His righteousness that we are strengthened and held up by. This is not just in the past tense, but in the future as well, since God never changes. GOD NEVER CHANGE, HE IS THE SAME GOD YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER. HEBREWS 13:8
