Teaching Points Fulfillment of ProphecyMatthew 2:15 highlights the importance of prophecy in validating Jesus as the Messiah. Understanding the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies strengthens our faith in the divine inspiration of Scripture. God's Sovereignty and Protection The flight to Egypt demonstrates God's sovereign plan and His protection over Jesus. Believers can trust in God's guidance and protection in their own lives, even in times of danger or uncertainty. Typology of Israel and Jesus Just as Israel was called out of Egypt, Jesus' return from Egypt signifies a new exodus, pointing to His role as the true Israel and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. Obedience to God's Guidance Joseph's obedience to the angel's command serves as a model for believers. We are called to listen and respond to God's direction, even when it requires significant change or sacrifice. Jesus as the True Son The reference to "My Son" emphasizes Jesus' divine sonship and His unique relationship with the Father. This calls us to recognize and honor Jesus' authority and mission.(15) Until the death of Herod.--The uncertainty which hangs over the exact date of the Nativity hinders us from arriving at any precise statement as to the interval thus described. As the death of Herod took place a little before the Passover, B.C. 4 (according to the common but erroneous reckoning), it could not have been more than a few months, even if we fix the Nativity in the previous year. Out of Egypt have I called my son.--As the words stand in Hosea 11:1, "When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt," they refer, beyond the shadow of a doubt, to the history of Israel, as being in a special sense, among all the nations of the world, the chosen son of Jehovah (Exodus 4:22-23). It is hard to imagine any reader of the prophecy not seeing that this was what we should call the meaning. But the train of thought which leads the Evangelist to apply it to the Christ has a distinct method of its own. A coincidence in what seems an accessory, a mere circumstance of the story, carries his mind on to some deeper analogies. In the days of the Exodus, Israel was the one representative instance of the Fatherhood of God manifested in protecting and delivering His people. Now there was a higher representative in the person of the only begotten Son. As the words "Out of Egypt did I call my Son" (he translated from the Hebrew instead of reproducing the Greek version of the LXX.) rose to his memory, what more natural than that mere context and historical meaning should be left unnoticed, and that he should note with wonder what a fulfilment they had found in the circumstances he had just narrated. Here, as before, the very seeming strain put upon the literal meaning of the words is presumptive evidence that the writer had before him the fact to which it had been adapted, rather than that the narrative was constructed, as some have thought, to support the strained interpretation of the prophecy. Verse 15. - And was there until the death of Herod. The Revised Version rightly joins this with the preceding, not with the following, clause. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying (Matthew 1:22, notes), Out of Egypt have I called (Revised Version, did I call) my Son (Hosea 11:1, "When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt"). Observe here:(1) The quotation is not from the LXX. ("Out of Egypt I summoned his children"), but from the Hebrew, which Aquila also follows. (2) The expression in Hosea is based on Exodus 4:22, "Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, my firstborn;" cf. also Wisd. 18:13. "They acknowledged this people to be the son of God (ὡμολόγησαν Θεοῦ υἱὸν λαὸνεϊναι)." (3) The quotation is, by the context, evidently adduced, not to prove the sonship of Jesus, but to enlarge upon the treatment that he received. The fundamental thought is that the experience of Messiah was parallel to the experience of the nation. . . .
