Aerophobia
Today’s Audio Devotion:
Aerophobia
Do you suffer from aerophobia, the fear of flying? The recent rash of airplane and helicopter accidents has brought this back into the news. Flight attendants are prepared to give oxygen to passengers who have panic attacks. One flight attendant said, “I’ve had situations where I’d sort of sit in the aisle and hold someone’s hand.”1
Our lives are full of fear and riddled with anxieties and phobias. There are a lot of uncertainties in life, and without Christ we’re left in the chaos of fear.
But our God is a God who delivers. You can ask Him to deliver you from all your fears. That’s what the psalmist did in Psalm 34. He said, “I sought the Lord, and He…delivered me from all my fears.” The next verse says, “They looked to Him and were radiant” (verse 5). How different would your life be today if God replaced your fears with radiance? Ask Him. He knows how to do it!
We believe every child of God can…learn to live a liberated life in Christ. We believe there is a peace of God that surpasses all understanding that will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Some 2,600 years ago, God gave King Nebuchadnezzar a dream. In this dream, the king saw a five–part statue made of five different metals (see Daniel 2). Each section represented an empire, beginning with Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon. Four of these empires have already risen and fallen in history—a clear fulfillment of Daniel's prophetic interpretation. The fifth and final empire indicates a future Europe—a ten nation coalition that will unite under the Antichrist's rule.
You can read about the King's dream and Daniel's interpretation in Daniel 2, but let's take a quick visual look at what you will find:
-
King Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon
Daniel's words to the king are clear. "You are this head of gold" (Daniel 2:37–38).
-
Medo–Persian Empire
The Medo–Persian Empire conquered Babylon in 539 BC and remained in power for approximately two hundred years (Daniel 5:28).
-
Grecian Empire
Greece's Empire succeeded the Medo–Persians (Daniel 8:21).
-
Roman Empire
When the Grecian empire was conquered by Rome, all the lands and peoples of the previous kingdoms were assimilated into the Roman Empire through the strengths of the "iron legions of Rome" (Daniel 2:40).
-
Future European Coalition
This empire has not yet risen. Daniel foretells a time when the Roman Empire—Europe—will consist of ten kingdoms or leaders. The future Roman Empire will be present on the earth when God sets up His earthly kingdom (Daniel 2:44).
