Mat 2:19-20

But when Herod died, behold,
an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and said,

“Get up, take the Child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel;
for those who sought the Child’s life are dead.”

But…now…

Mat 2:21-23

So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.

But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod,
he was afraid to go there.
Then after being warned by God in a dream, he left for the regions of Galilee,

and came and lived in a city called Nazareth.
This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets:
“He shall be called a Nazarene.”

When Joseph and his family arrived in the land of Israel, Archelaus was reigning.
Joseph feared returning to Judea.

The Lord knew.
He knew all along.

God again warned Joseph in a dream.
Apparently to not go to Judea.

Joseph and family went to Nazareth.
They lived there.
They fulfilled prophecy - “He shall be called a Nazarene.”

Observing the 330+ prophesies fulfilled by the Lord in His first coming is amazing.

How much more so His second coming…
