1 | How old was Jesus when the Magi brought | Matt 2:16 | Giam | 46211 | ||
Songbird! Ur point is well taken! Naz. is way up north! But this still makes sense: God's whole point is to be vague so that all points of view are reasonable! Proverbs 25:2-3. It IS hard to beleive that Joseph and Mary wd go back up to Naz, and then flee all the way back pass Jerusalem and beth! altho they CD have done so along the sea coast! But Luke 2:39 and matthew 2:11: pais in the house: are there. Or it CD be that all of Matthew 2 occurred between the words 'Lord' and 'they' in Luke 2:39!!!! which wd mean that Joseph, Mary and the young Pais went straight from wherever in the house was to Egypt and then returned to nazareth!!! Any view that is reasonable is just that: we still can't be totally sure! I personally go for what i said before in Love and in respect of all other views! In which case they fled to Egypt even tho in Naz because God knew that Herod wd send his homicide-killers way up there to kill this new king that threatened his rule! See waht i mean? Love and Respect, Giam |

2 | How old was Jesus when the Magi brought | Matt 2:16 | Giam | 46217 | ||
Songbird! Just 2 other points for the nazareth to egypt and back trek: 1. If Jc was in nazareth when the wise men visited him, then it wd have been very easy for them to escape home back east, since they wd not have had to back down south to jerusalem. 2. God had the prophecy of Hosea 11:1 to fulfill by sending jc into egypt no matter how inconvenient it wd have been for them to by pass jerusalem along the the sea coast. see matthew 2:15. Hope that helps. Love and repsect, your biC, Giam |
