God sets everything in place and in motion for His word to be fulfilled. He is not bounded by time and all that had happened in the past, is happening today, or will happen in the future is already a predestined event that the Lord had made. There is always a good purpose for such things to happen and God gave man the gift of prophecy so that he can prepare for any eventuality that comes.

Out of Egypt have I called my son.

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 till I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him."

And he rose and took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod.

This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out of Egypt have I called my son."

-- Matthew 2: 13-15
