Don't Fear, Be a Witness
God commands His people not to fear. Commentators explain this confidence is rooted in His proven track record of predicting the future. Because God has already declared what will happen, and His people have seen it come to pass, they are called to be His 'witnesses.' This role is not based on blind faith, but on the evidence of God's sovereign control over history.
