Out of Egypt

 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”(Matthew 2:13-15 ESV)
Egypt has a history that goes way back with God's people.  For some it was a place of blessing and deliverance; for others it had been a place you wanted to be delivered from.  Moses was the man - the one called to do that deliverance. But he and the other prophets of old saw another son to be called, another who would Himself be delivered from death at a young age, to come and be the Great Deliverer of all times.  God has a plan; it will surely come to pass.
