Fear Not #1

There was a meme floating around Pinterest recently that mentioned that the Bible says "fear not" 366 times - 1 for every day of the year (even in a leap year).  After some searching, I found that this pops up again and again, but couldn't find a set list of verses.  So... I don't know if there are truly 366 references, but each time I find it in my reading I'll post it on this blog since I do want to keep track.  Maybe there aren't 366 verses.  Maybe there are more.  I'm interested to see how it all turns out.

Fear Not #1

Revelation 1:17-18King James Version (KJV)

17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Revelation 1:17-18New American Standard Bible (NASB)

17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last,18 and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.
