The third angelic message is a declaration of victory. The angel comes with this message - "those who sought the child are dead" (Matthew 2:20). This is a declaration of victory. the enemy has been defeated. Now, the short-term measure of rehousing in Egypt is no longer necessary. God's purpose of salvation can move forward with the return of His Son to the land of Israel. To Joseph, God says, "go to the land of Israel". God's purpose is moving on. We must move with Him. we are to move in His victory.
