Jesus and Africa


Matthew 2:13 The messenger tells Joseph to take the baby Jesus and Mary to the land of Africa (Egypt) for safety but why Egypt and was Egypt a country or a area, city, village? 


Where in East Africa did Joseph take Mary and Jesus? How long did they live in Egypt? 30 years of Jesus life is omitted from the bible. He was in Egypt during  this time? We know of one appearance in the bible when he was 12 years old but where did he receive in his training? He was a human rabbi, he was circumcised and there fore being human would he need human approval to have access to the temple? 

Most ancient cities had temples that were used for refuges who were fleeing persecution or for someone who committed a crime and fleeing prosecution. This is one of the reasons Moses was living with a priest when he was exiled or ran from persecution in Exodus 2nd chapter. 

Who were the priest or rulers of the Pharonic lands in Africa, were they Hebrew Greek, Roman, Kushite, Nubian, Massai or Asian?  Were the native African priest replaced with Greek, Jewish or Hebrew priest. Was this family associated with anyone in Egypt? Jesus was born during a political charged era and the Romans were oppressing the native people. 

The video above addresses some of the possible places Joseph might have taken Jesus and Mary for refuge. It includes the holy lands of Africa. 

One thing for sure if a person believes in Kamat than they should know they can't get away from the bible because it is also the story of Kamet.
