It's interesting to note that nothing had materially changed about Gideon's situation. He was still a member of the weakest clan in Manasseh. (v15).

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32.
The enemy operates through deception to keep believers from the truth. The Israelite's in that day were afraid of the Midianites because they had forgotten God. (Judges 6:10).
Nothing at all had changed about the enemy. Baal according to John MacArthur was son and successor of El, was "lord of heaven," a farm god of rain and storm, his name meaning "lord, possessor." His cult at Phoenicia included animal sacrifices, ritual meals, and licentious dances. Chambers catered to sacred prostitution by men and women (cf. 1 Kin. 13:23,24; 2 Kin. 23:7).
Are any of those things fearful in and of themselves? No!
