“When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.”
Hosea 11:1 KJV
When Joseph was asked by the angel to go to Egypt to flee from Herod and all those who wanted to kill the Christ, it was to fulfill the prophecy here. God knows the end from the beginning. Those who are anti Christ are even today on earth, who reject and despise Christ and seek to kill those who have Christ dwelling in them. Jesus said that the servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. The selfless work that sincere disciples of Christ have done in most nations is disregarded and they are persecuted. But we look up to Him Who knows the end from the beginning, for our redemption draws nigh. Just as Simeon was waiting for the consolation of Israel and was led by the Holy Spirit to come and see the Messiah, so are we waiting for the promise that Jesus made of coming again, and receiving us to Himself, that where He is, there we may be also. Let’s look up for our redemption draws nigh. Amen!
