TG Dreams 20 - Matthew 2:22

Joseph's last recorded revelation is again a dream.  The specifics are not given, just "warned of God in a dream."  The effect of obeying his guidance is twofold.  First (as with the other dreams in Matthew's infancy narrative), the Messiah and his family are safeguarded.  The dream is after all a "warning."  Second, the Savior arrives in the place he was meant to grow up in, Nazareth of Galilee - a fact that Matthew believes fulfills a centuries old prophecy.
