Matthew 2:14
"Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”"
Key Reflection
This vision in a dream serves as a divine directive for Joseph, ensuring the safety of Jesus and Mary by guiding them to flee to Egypt. It foreshadows the dangerous intentions of King Herod and underscores God's protective care over the infant Messiah.
