The book of Revelation is a vivid look into John’s vision inspired by God.  His vision encompassed glimpses of Christ’s resurrection, relevant matters of that time and things yet to come.  Specifically, Chapter 6: 7-8 reveals the breaking of the fourth seal, which is death.  On an ashen horse, death rides with Hades following him.  Their dominion is over a fourth of the earth and their intent is destruction. 

Paul’s vision is an inspiration to press into God and seek His will.  Fear is not the answer!
