What does the Bible say about Jesus being called out of Egypt?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that Jesus was called out of Egypt to fulfill the prophecy in Hosea.

In Matthew 2:15, it is recorded that Jesus' family fled to Egypt to escape King Herod's decree to kill all male infants in Bethlehem. This event fulfilled the prophecy spoken by Hosea, which states, 'Out of Egypt have I called my son' (Hosea 11:1). This not only confirmed Jesus' identity as the Messiah but also illustrated that the history of Israel serves as a type or foreshadowing of Christ's mission and the salvation of God's elect. This pattern of descent into Egypt and subsequent return aligns with God's redemptive plan for His people, showcasing the continuity of God's work throughout history.
