Matthew 2:4 - 2:15
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this study of Matthew chapter 2 verses 4-15, Steve Gregg explores the prophecy of the birthplace of the Messiah in the book of Micah, which was fulfilled by Jesus as a descendant of David. The wise men from the east who saw the phenomenon in the heavens were likely astrologers who interpreted what they saw to be significant. They brought valuable gifts to the infant Jesus and were divinely warned not to return to Herod, who sought to kill him. The escape to Egypt and return to Israel demonstrate Jesus' fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies and his identity as the Messiah.
