AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 2:30 For my eyes have seen Your Salvation, [Is 52:10] |
Bible Question: Between Jesus' birth and His three year ministry on earth, were the Jews and Gentiles aware that He was the prophesied Messiah? Why did Jesus' importance diminish after the shepherds honored His birth and the Magi's visit? |
Bible Answer: Jesus' importance could not diminish anymore than God's importance could diminish. To answer what I think is your question I would say that the knowledge of his existance was hidden or disguised. I say this because God sent a message to Joseph to leave. Also Joseph left in the night. My hypothosis is people leaving at night have something to hide. My conclusion is Joseph was hiding Jesus. Matt2:14. Of course the primary reason Jesus went to Egypt was to fulfill prophecy wether Joseph knew it or not. When Joseph returns he is still concerned for Jesus' life so he does not go back to Bethlehem he goes to Nazareth. Matt 2:22 Of course the primary reason was to fulfill prophecy. The primary reason Jesus went to Egypt and Nazareth was to fulfill scripture. But the result was He was hidden from those that wanted to take His life and from the general public. It is my assumption that a lot of people did not know where he was. They just knew He was delivered. |
