Bible Question:
Dear forum, I don't mean to be asking what some may think as an obvious and easily researched question, but could someone give me references to why Mary and Joseph fled to betheleham and then egypyt? Old and new test. Maybe there is already discussion on this subject in the forum. Please show me.Thankyou. William |
Bible Answer: Dear Brother, Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I was scanning over the forum today, and I came acrossed a question that you had asked. This question is in regards to the flight into Egypt, actually mentioned in scripture in Matt. 2: 13-15. I may add that this is a very good question. If you were to read the passage, at the very end of it a prophecy is mentioned. This prophecy is found in Hosea 11. It says in Hosea 11:1 this: “When Israel was a youth I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son.” It is true that at face value this is just a recounting of the story of Israel and all that they went through. However if one studies it they will find, that in this passage God is speaking about Christ as well. Christ was to be a picture of Israel so that the Jewish people would see that He was their Messiah. This my brother is an answer to your question, and I do hope that it is helpful. In Christ, Paul Is. 6:8 Pastor/Founder: Blue Bonnet Ministries “I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something.” - Hale |
