Feasts of Israel

This is not to be a complete study of the Feasts of Israel, just an overview. For a detailed study, search the web for FEASTS OF ISRAEL. These feasts were given to Israel for worship of God, BUT also to tell them of the coming of MESIAH. He fulfilled some at his death, burial, resurrection and ascension, and will fulfill all at His 2nd coming.

1st Exodus 34:25 PASSOVER | PESACH
Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover
God’s sovereign promise to deliver and redeem His people.
2nd Exodus 12:17 UNLEAVENED BREAD
And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread;
Celebrates the ending of Slavery in Egypt and leaving for the promise land.
3rd Exodus 23:16 FIRST FRUITS
And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering,
Celebrates the harvest each year – Resurrection Sunday, or Easter.
4th Exodus 34:22 SHAVUOT | PENTECOST
And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end
50 days after the feast of first fruits. Leviticus 23:21 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
5th Leviticus 25:9 YOM TERUAH – THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS (Rosh Hashanah)
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. A time of repentance
Trumpets were used to announce coming judgements Revelation 6-7.
6th LEVITICUS 16:29-31 YOM KIPPUR – THE DAY OF ATONEMENT –
And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you: For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
Mandated establishment of this holy day on the 10th day of the 7th month as the day of atonement for sins. It calls it the Sabbath of Sabbaths and a day upon which one must afflict one’s soul.
7th Leviticus 23:34 SUKKOT – THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES –
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord.
It is intended as a reminiscence of the type of fragile dwellings in which the Israelites dwelt during their 40 years of travel in the desert after the Exodus from slavery in Egypt.

What Jewish TRIBE am I from?

Tribal identities have been lost…

“For the most part, tribal identities have been lost through the generations, and the majority of Jews do not know which tribe they are from.
There are a number of people whose families have passed down their identity as Kohanim (Priests) or Levites, which means they descend from the tribe of Levi. There are also a handful of non-Levite families who can trace their ancestry to a particular tribe, but these are few and far between.
When the Messiah comes, we will all find out which tribes we are from. So, if this bit of information is important to you, do your best to hasten his arrival!”
⟶ By Malkie Janowski https://www.chabad.org

BUT GOD knows who each and every Jew is and what Tribe of which he is a member. The Lord Jesus spoke these words (Matthew 10:30) But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Now if God knows that, then He knows what tribe each and every Jew is from.
In Revelation 7:3-8 God lists each tribe (all 12) and who will be sealed from each tribe and become evangelists during the 7-year tribulation.
And in Revelation 14:1-6 He describes who they are and their qualifications:
• SEALED ⟶ Father’s (God) name written in their foreheads
• A NEW SONG ⟶ only they could sing
• REDEEMED ⟶ from the earth during the Tribulation
• WITHOUT FAULT ⟶ no guile was found in their mouth
• NOT MARRIED ⟶ Not defiled with women, Virgin
• FIRSTFRUITS ⟶ of the Lamb
• TO TRAVEL WORLDWIDE ⟶ having the everlasting gospel to preach

Temple

The Tabernacle in Its Ancient Near Eastern Context - TheTorah.com

From the time of Moses until 70 AD, except for about 70 years during Daniel’s time, Israel, the Jews, have had a Tabernacle, replaced by a Temple during Solomon’s time, where they could worship God and offer animal sacrifices according to the Law. In 70 AD, due to Israel’s rejection of Christ, God allowed the Romans to destroy the Temple and begin the disbursement of the Jews throughout the world as He said He would. The Jews have been without the ability to offer animal sacrifice, required by the Law, ever since. But God has promised He will gather all Israel back to the land He gave them and set up a Kingdom for them to rule the earth with their Messiah.

Herod's Temple, Jerusalem ARTchive @ PreteristArchive.com, The ...

In the Gospels and the book of Acts, the TEMPLE is mentioned 85 times.

As magnificent as the Temple was, The Lord Jesus told of it’s destruction.
Matthew 24:1-2, Mark 13:1-2, Luke 19:41-44, 21:6 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

The Lord Jesus told the Samarian woman, at the well, when the Temple would not be needed to worship God. John 4:1-24. vs 23-24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The Temple existed during Paul’s life, but he wanted believers to know they were the spiritual Temple. Paul writing to the Corinthian believers about the Temple but usually in reference to their bodies.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
(also see 6:19, 8:10, 9:13, 2 Corinthians 6:16)

Paul writes about the spiritual Temple in Ephesians 2:21-22 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
And the Temple he speaks about in 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Is the rebuilt Temple during the Tribulation.
Yes, the Temple will be rebuilt, either just before or right after the Rapture
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18), and the Jews will go back to Temple worship as it was during the Time of Paul.

The Temple is mentioned 13 times in Revelation.

It appears to be the TEMPLE that is in Heaven. Revelation 7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. (also see 3:12; 11:1-2, 19; 14:15; 15:5-6, 8; 16:1,17).
But look at the last reference. Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
In the great city, the holy Jerusalem (read Revelation 21:10-27) there will be no need for a Temple.

ARK of the Covenant

Ark of the Covenant Raiders of the Lost Ark chest Movie | Etsy

Just what was the ARK OF THE COVENANT? Why was it Built? How was it Built? What was it used for? What did it contain? Where was it to be kept? What happened to it?

12 Commands for the construction:

The construction is found in Exodus 25:10-16,
Exodus 25:21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.

What was in the ARK:

Deuteronomy 10:3-5 And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me. And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.

Exodus 40:20-21 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark: And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
The testimony: (Exodus 40:20)
Exodus 16:33-34 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations. As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
Numbers 17:10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron’s rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
Deuteronomy 31:26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.

Why were these objects chosen:

TEN COMMANDMENTS … to remind the (Jews) People that they had broken God’s basic laws and were in need of Salvation.
MANNA … to remind the (Jews) people that they rejected God’s daily provision.
ARRON’S ROD … to remind the (Jews) people that they rejected God’s leadership.
MOSES BOOK … to remind the (Jews) people of God’s many work’s in their lives.

Feast of FirstFruits

Under the LAW, first fruits referred to offerings to God: Be it from labours, harvest, cattle, meat (food), fruit, honey, oil, wine, family etc. The Israelites were to put God first in all things.

Exodus 23:16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

See other mentions of FIRSTFRUITS in: Exodus 23:19, Exodus 34:22, Exodus 34:26, Leviticus 2:12, Leviticus 2:14, Leviticus 23:10, Leviticus 23:17, Leviticus 23:20, Numbers 18:12, Numbers 28:26 and
Deuteronomy 26:10

An example of this is found in :
2 Kings 4:42 And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.
Other examples are found in: 2 Chronicles 31:5, Nehemiah 10:35,
Nehemiah 10:37, Nehemiah 12:44 and Nehemiah 13:31

Proverbs 3:9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

More Old Testament references to understand First Fruits: Jeremiah 2:3,
Ezekiel 20:40 and Ezekiel 44:30
Ezekiel 48:14 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD.

The Apostle Paul used the teaching of firstfruit to illustration the believer’s relationship to God:
Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Romans 16:5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1 Corinthians 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
1 Corinthians 16:15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)

James writing to Jewish Believer’s:
James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

The 144,000 are the firstfruits during the Tribulation.
Revelation 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

The feasts given to Israel were given to teach Spiritual Truths, then and now.

Moses and Paul

SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP

These two men are perhaps the greatest spiritual leaders the world has ever seen. Moses delivered the Law to the Jews (Exodus 21:1) and Paul brought the gospel of the Grace of God to the Gentiles (Acts 20:24).

MOSES was chosen by GOD to lead the Jewish Nation to serve God.

NUMBERS 12:3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
DEUTERNOMY 4:1-2 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you. Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
MARK 1:44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
MARK 10:3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
MATTHEW 23:1-3 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
DEUTERNOMY 4:5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
DEUTERNOMY 4:14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.
EXODUS 33:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: …
NUMBERS 12:2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it. NUMBERS 12:6-9 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth,…

PAUL was chosen by GOD to offer salvation to the Gentiles.

ACTS 22:17-18 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance; And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
ACTS 26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
ROMANS 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
GALATIANS 1:11-12 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1 CORINTHIANS 4:16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
EPHESIANS 3:1-4 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
1 TIMOTHY 1:12-16 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
1 TIMOTHY 6:3-5 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
GALATIANS 1:8-9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
1 CORINTHIANS 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1 THESOLONIANS 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
GALATIANS 1:11-12 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
2 CORINTHIANS 13:2-3 I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare: Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:18-19 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Law verses Grace

GALATIANS 5:1-4 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Iraq in the Bible

Image result for iraq

FACTS:  168,927 miles – A little bigger than California
               BAGHDAD is the Capital City
               ARABIC is the official language, ISLAM is the official religion                 
IRAQ is not mentioned in the Bible but Mesopotamia is:
Genesis 24:10, Deuteronomy 23:4, Judges 3:8, 3:10,
1 Chronicles 19:6, Acts 2:9, 7:2      (7 times)
                Mesopotamia was conquered over 1200 years ago by Arabs and
changed the name to IRAQ . IRAQ means “Country with deep Roots”
Genesis 2:8 states “the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden”.
Many believe Genesis 2:10-14 was the land of EDEN later called Mesopotamia which was later named IRAQ by the Arabs. Adam and Eve were created, Satan’s first earthly appearance, and the fall of mankind all occurred in IRAQ.
Genesis 11:1-8 is the story of the tower of Babel, which was located in IRAQ. Genesis 10:8-10 gives a good description of its location.
According to Acts 7:2 The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, Abram was from IRAQ.
Isaac’s wife came from IRAQ, (Mesopotamia) Genesis 24:4.
God saved the whole city of Nineveh (Jonah) which is in IRAQ, about 225 miles north of Babylon.
The Jews spent 70 years in captivity in IRAQ, Ezra 2:1. Which means Zerubbabel and Nehemiah came from IRAQ to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple and the Wall. The fiery Furnace, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego occurred in IRAQ. Daniel was thrown in the Lion’s Den in IRAQ.
The story of Esther happened in IRAQ. The Medes and Persians were ruling in IRAQ with Babylon as their capital.
The book in Nahum is a prophecy against Nineveh, a city in northern IRAQ.
AS we can see Mesopotamia is much in the scripture, but today we know it as IRAQ. So, is IRAQ mentioned in future Bible events? Remember, BABYLON is in IRAQ.
Saddam Hussein is best known for serving as Iraq’s fifth President, in power when the U.S. invaded Iraq. He was later hanged, December 30, 2006, for war crimes. He hated Israel and all who helped her, this included America. He promised to destroy the USA and fill many coffins with our dead. For years he fired deadly missiles at Israel.
Some of the following has happened and more is still to come:
Jeremiah 50:9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
Jeremiah 50:14 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the Lord.
Jeremiah 50:29 Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.
Jeremiah 51:11 Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.
In his day, Jeremiah meant arrows to be darts shot from a bow. Today, one of the missile systems Israel defends herself with is a missile system known as the ARROW.
One day soon will be the final destruction of BABYLON (IRAQ). Consider the following:
Jeremiah 50:15 Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

Note the River Euphrates is in IRAQ and has protected BABYLON from land invasion from the east for centuries.

Jeremiah 50:34 Their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
Jeremiah 50:39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
Jeremiah 51:49 As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
Jeremiah 51:64 And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary.
Jeremiah 51:37  And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
Revelation 18:21-23 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

Thus Israel will find peace with their redeemer, the LORD of hosts, and BABYLON will be no more.

Egypt in the Bible

Image result for egypt map
Officially the Arab Republic of Egypt, Cairo is the Capital City.
ARABIC is the official language, ISLAM is the official religion.
  • Egypt covers an area of 386,659 square miles.
  • Egypt land size is bigger than TEXAS with a population of over 97 million people.
  • Egypt is mentioned in the Bible 558 times. 536 times in Old Testament and 22 times in New Testament.
  • Egyptian history is generally considered to have begun in 3200 B.C. when King Menes (also called Narmer) united the Upper and Lower Kingdoms.
  • Egypt’s history has traditionally been divided into 30 (sometimes 31) dynasties. Dynasties one and two date back around 5,000 years and are often called the “early dynastic” or “archaic” period.
  • Egypt is one of the oldest countries mentioned in the Bible and it has retained land and its name.

Israel (the Jew) grew into a nation of people in the land of Egypt. Then Moses led the people out of Egypt and took them to the Land that God had promised Abraham. Joshua led the people into the land and Israel became a true nation with land and people.

  • Israel goes into Egypt Genesis 46 thru 50.
  • Israel lead out of Egypt Exodus 1 thru 12.
  • Israel gets her LAND Deuteronomy 34 thru Joshua 5.

According to the Holy Scripture, Egypt is (and has) to come under much judgement from God for the way they have treated His people, the Jew. The book of Isaiah has much to say on this subject. But Egypt will turn to God and be Blessed in the Later days. They will again be a great nation along with Israel.
The book of Jeremiah has much to say about Egypt and its punishments and blessings.

Matthew Chapter 2 records the birth of Christ in Bethlehem and then how he was taken to Egypt for safety. Matthew 2:15 gives the reason and fulfilled Hosea 11:1.

Most references to Egypt in the New Testament refer to how Egypt treated the Jews as the people of Israel grew into a Nation.
