Matthew 2:13-23
13 After the wise men were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” (Rev.12:4 - “The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child..” Chapter is an insert.) 14 And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt, 15 where they stayed until Herod died. What the Lord had spoken through the prophet came true: "I have called my son out of Egypt." 16 Herod was furious when he realized that the wise men had outwitted him. He sent soldiers to kill all the boys in and around Bethlehem who were two years old and under, based on the wise men’s report of the star’s first appearance. (Why didn’t God prevent..? Why didn’t he prevent every war.. the world wars.. the genocides.. slavery since Babylon and Egypt.. Every death. every illness..? Once He endowed thinking and reasoning to angel and man, what exactly would be the point in canceling every less than good or perfect choice? Less chaos and mess to create a universe with no able to think and reason beings, or some sort of ant farm. But obviously, and thankfully, that is noT what the creator is after.)
17 Herod’s brutal action fulfilled what was prophesied through the prophet Jeremiah, 18 “A cry was heard in Ramah (where Rachel was buried not far from Bethlehem) — weeping and great mourning. Rachel weeps for her children, refusing to be comforted, for they are dead.” (It was fulfilled in Jeremiah’s age.. showing how prophecy often repeats.) 19 When Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt. 20 saying, “Arise, take the young child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.” 21 So Joseph rose and took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he learned that the new ruler of Judea was Herod’s son Archelaus, he was afraid to go there. Then, after being warned in a dream, he left for the region of Galilee, 23 and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophet, that he would be called a Nazarene.

~ Hebrews 6:7-11 ~
7 When the ground soaks up the falling rain and bears a good crop for the farmer, it has God’s blessing. (Is said to have God’s blessing.) 8 But if a field bears thorns and thistles, it is useless. Is cursed, and the farmer will soon burn it. (What happens to the field then? After the farmer burns off the thistles and choking weeds? And note the burning is no ‘forever’ ‘place’.) 9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. 10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. 11 Our great desire is that each of you keep up your eagerness to the end, so that the things you hope for [elpis - expect] will come true.
