Matthew 2

The Magi (wise men) visit. This is after the birth of Jesus. King Herod is threatened by the rumor that a new "king" has been born. He solicits the wise men in a lie to help him worship the baby, too. They do not trust Herod and fail to let him know Jesus' whereabouts. The wise of this earth bow down to the ruler of Heaven and Earth, Jesus. I am sure Mary was surprised and confused by the attention.

Another dream for Joseph and he is warned to flee Herod who will kill Jesus. The family goes to Egypt. This move also fulfills a Old Testament prophecy. Herod has all newborn Jewish boys killed so he can be rid of a rival ruler. He is outwitted by God!

Herod dies and the family returns but not after another dream that directs the family to Nazareth (and not Bethlehem.) Another Dream and another prophecy fulfilled. Do you pay attention to your dreams? Might God be speaking to you?
