Mary your wife
The three other dreams are warnings made to Joseph:
13When they had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him” (Mt 2:13) ,
19When Herod had died, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt 20and said “Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child’s life are dead” (Mt 2:19–20),
22But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go back there. And because he had been warned in a dream, he departed for the region of Galilee. 23He went and dwelt in a town called Nazareth. (Mt 2: 22–23)Related posts:
