Matthew: The King's Gospel Series - Ep. 3 - Escaping Herod: Prophecy, Protection, and the Pursuit

In this teaching from Matthew: The King’s Gospel, we explore Matthew 2:13–23, one of the most intense and prophetic sections of Jesus’ early life.

Herod is raging. Babies are being slaughtered. And Joseph, guided only by dreams and faith, is fleeing in the night to protect the child Messiah.

In this video, we unpack:
- Why Joseph was commanded to flee to Egypt
- The historical and prophetic significance of the massacre
- The deep meaning behind the phrase “Out of Egypt I called My Son”
- How multiple Old Testament prophecies are fulfilled in rapid succession
- Why Jesus being called a “Nazarene” is more important than it sounds
- What this moment teaches us about obedience, suffering, and God's sovereignty

Key Takeaways:
- God was orchestrating prophecy through suffering—not apart from it.
- Joseph didn’t argue with God—he moved in obedience, even when it was costly.
- Jesus, even as a baby, fulfills Israel’s story: He is the true Son called out of Egypt.
