20 and said,
"Get up,
take the child(Jesus😊1st❤)

got up(❤),
took the child(Jesus😊1st❤) and his mother( Mary) and went to the land of Israel❤.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in the place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream❤,
he( Joseph😊❤)withdrew to a district of Galilee,
23 and he(Joseph😊❤)
went ( he got up and "went")
and lived in a town called Nazareth.( Do you remember Jesus of Nazareth from the Bible too? Or "... he will be called a Nazerene."( Matthew 2:23b Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets: he will be called a Nazarene"( Matthew 2:19-23 Zondervan NIV Study Bible). May God allow Jesus to heal and restore families for His glory in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray( God's name at stake in Christ). Amen.

does not disappoint us

has poured out his love❤ into our hearts❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ by the Holy Spirit( 😊❤
our helper in Christ), whom he has given us.
6 You see,
at just the
right😊❤ time😊❤ when we were still powerless,
Christ(Jesus😊1st❤) died for the ungodly.
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
8 But God(😊100%❤)
demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners Christ(Jesus😊1st❤ )died for us.
9 Since we have now been justified 😊❤ ( how? ) by his( Jesus' ) blood😊❤, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
10 For if, we were God's enemies, we were reconciled😊❤to him through the death of his( Jesus') life!
11 Not only is this so,
but we 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ also rejoice😊❤ in God(😊100%❤) through our Lord Jesus Christ(Jesus😊1st❤), through whom we have now received😊❤ reconcilation😊❤."( Romans 5:1-11 Zondervan NIV Study Bible. Amen to Romans 5:1-11). May Jesus grant you his peace(John 14:27😊❤) too and God's peace( Philippians 4:7,9 ) and Romans 5:1-11. In Jesus'name, i pray(John 14:6😊❤ and Philippians 4:4😊-7😊❤). Amen.

"18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child(Jesus😊1st❤) through the Holy Spirit(😊❤).
19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous(😊❤) man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, " Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit(😊❤).
21 She will give birth to a son(Jesus😊1st❤), and you are to give him(Jesus😊1st❤) the name Jesus(😊1st❤), because he will save his people from their sins."
22 All this toom place to fulfill what the Lord(😊1st❤) had said through the prophet:
23 " The virgin ( Mary) will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him(Jesus😊1st❤) Immanuel( 😊1st❤) - which means, " God (😊100%❤)
with us."
24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son( Jesus, our Lord and our savior in Christ Jesus😊1st❤). And he(Joseph) gave him the name Jesus(😊1st❤)."
(Matthew 1:18-25 Zondervan NIV Study Bible).
Acts 4:18-20
"18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at in the name of Jesus(😊1st❤).
19 But Peter😊❤ and John😊❤ replied❤, " Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight
to obey you rather than God( 😊100%❤).
20 For( because)
we cannot help speaking about what we have seen❤ 😊and heard😊❤."( John 4:18-20 Zondervan NIV Study Bible . Amen to John 4:18-20😊❤).
Matthew 1:18-25(😊❤)
"18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child(Jesus😊1st❤) through the Holy Spirit(😊❤).

(Matthew 1:18-25 Zondervan NIV Study Bible).
Matthew 2:1-12( The visit of the wise men)
"2 Now After Jesus(😊1st❤) was born in Bethelem of Judea in the day of Herod of king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,
2 saying, " Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.
3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
4 and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ(
Jesus
😊1st❤) is my messiah in Christ too)
was to be born.
5 They told him, " In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:
6 " ' And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel. ' "
"7 Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time
the star had appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying,
" Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him."
9 After listening to the king, they went on
their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went
before them
until it
came to rest over the place where the child(Jesus😊1st❤) was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoice😊 exceedingly with great joy.
11(a )And going into the house they( the wise men now remembering Matthew2:2 "2 saying, where is he who has been born king of the Jew? For we saw his star when it rose and have come( "have come " means function for coming is) to worship😊❤
him(Jesus😊1st❤)."(Matthew 2:2 ESV)
Now resume back to Matthew
2:11-12
"11 And going into the house they saw the child( baby Jesus😊1st❤) with Mary his mother and
they fell down( when you( we) worship we not only standing but on our knees too in Christ so The Bible said, "...they fell down( means on their knees) and worshipped (❤) him(Jesus
😊1st❤)
, my Lord( Jesus😊1st❤) and my savior( Jesus😊1st❤) too in Christ).
Then opening their treasures, they offer him(Jesus😊1st❤)
gifts,
gold,
and
frankincenseand
myrrh.
12 And being warned
in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way."( Matthew 2:1-12 ESV and all parenthesis parts in Christ and symbols of joy😊 in Christ and love ❤ in Christ also for Christ Jesus(Jesus😊1st❤) in Christ. So help us God. In Jesus'name, i pray for you and may Jesus
(😊1st❤) dwell in you too. In Jesus'name, i pray(John 14;6; Jesus😊1st❤). Amen.
Matthew 2:13-18(The flight to Egypt)
"13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, " 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."
14 And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt
15 and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, " Out of Egypt I called my Son(Jesus 😊 1st ❤)."( Matthew 2:13-15 ESV)
2:16-18(Herod kill the Children)
"16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethelem and in all that region who were two years or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah:
18 " A voice heard in Ramah,
weeping and loud lamentation,
Rachel weeping for her children;
She refused to be comforted, because they are no more."( Matthew 2:16-18 ESV)
Matthew 2:13-18(The flight to Egypt)
"13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, " 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."
14 And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt
15 and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, " Out of Egypt I called my Son(Jesus 😊 1st ❤)."( Matthew 2:13-15 ESV)
Matthew 2:16-18(Herod kill the Children)
"16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethelem and in all that region who were two years or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah:
18 " A voice heard in Ramah,
weeping and loud lamentation,
Rachel weeping for her children;
She refused to be comforted, because they are no more."( Matthew 2:16-18 ESV)
Another angle in similar wording in
Matthew 2:13-18( The Escape to Egypt)
1
"13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream,
"Get up," he said, " take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt.
Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him."
14 so he got up, and took the child and his mother( Mary) during the night and left for Egypt,
15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfulled what the Lord had said through the prophet:
" Out of Egypt I called my son(Jesus 😊 1st ❤)."
16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learndd from the Magi,
17 Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfulled:
18 " A voice is heard in Ramah,
weeping and great mournin, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted,
because they are no more." " ( Matthew 2:13-18( The Escape to Egypt) Zondervan NIV Study Bible) John 14:6(Jesus 😊 1st ❤).

"10 These are the generation of the sons of Noah,
Shem, Ham, and Japheth. sons were born to them after the flood.
2 The sons of Jepheth
: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan.
7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
8 Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD. Therefore it is said," Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD."
10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineve, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and Resen between Nineve and Calah; that is the great city.
13 Egypt fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
14 Pathrusim, Casluhim( from who the Philistine came), and Caphtorim.
15 Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn and Heth,
16 and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. After the clans of the Canaanites dispersed.
19 And the territory of the Canaanites extended from Sidon in the direction of Gerar as far as Gaza, and in the direction of Sidom, Gomorah, Admah, and Zeboiim,
as far as Lasha.
20 These are the sons of Ham, by their clans, their languages, their lands, and their nations.
21 To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born.
22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

24 Arpachshad fathered Shelah; and Shelah fathered Eber.
25 To Ember were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan.
26 Joktan fathered Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.
30 The territory in which they lived extended from Mesha in the direction of Sephar to the hill country of the east.
31 These are the sons of Shem, by their clans, their languages, their lands, and their nations.
