G-d message not to fear.... I always think the message is not to be prey to mortal fears.
I heard a story of some Communists, or maybe Nazis, interrogating a Rabbi. They threatened to kill him, and he said: "Go ahead. I'd be delighted to get out of this stupid little room and go to G-d."
It's hard to intimidate someone with that kind of faith.
