An audio bible with commentary for Matthew chapter two read by Gary Eugene Howell
In this episode, we explore the dramatic events surrounding the birth of Jesus as told in Matthew chapter 2. From the mysterious arrival of the Magi and their search for the newborn King, to Herod’s jealous rage and brutal decree, we examine how Satan repeatedly attempts to thwart God’s plan—but always fails. We consider the significance of prophetic fulfillment, divine guidance through dreams, and Joseph’s unwavering obedience. This chapter not only reveals the spiritual warfare surrounding Christ’s early life but also challenges us to trust and obey God, even when we don’t have all the answers.
