11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, athey presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.  
12 Then, being divinely warned ain a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.  

The Flight into Egypt

13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.”

He calls us out of the world and our slavery to sin and to its ruler, Satan the Devil, just as He called Israel out of Egypt and their physical slavery to its ruler, Pharaoh. And he tells us in so many words that there was no other way for us to be separated from spiritual evil except through the strong hand and outstretched arm of God.
