“According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.”
According to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt, my Spirit remains among you. Fear not—God anchors the present encouragement in the exodus-covenant; continuity with redemptive history assures the present generation. The 'Spirit remaining among you' suggests the presence of God's power despite disappointing architectural appearance. The command 'Fear not' responds to discouragement; faith rather than sight should guide the community.
