Wise men from the east visit Jesus and give him gifts. Herod, feeling threatened by the birth of the King of the Jews, orders the death of all children two years old and younger who reside in Bethlehem and its surrounding areas. An angel of the Lord directs Joseph to flee to Egypt with Mary and Jesus and later to return to Israel with them.
I am surprised how many revelations were given in this chapter. In a dream, the wise men (Magi) discovered that Harod was going to kill, and Joseph received two dreams that they should move to evade Herod's death sentences. I believe that we are all able to still receive revelation. I have received personal revelation through dreams, and I believe dreams hold great powers.
God can give us guidance as we raise our children and make life decisions. Stop, pray, meditate... listen.
