Remember the story? Wicked King Herod learned from the Magi that a "king of the Jews" had been born, so he tried to find Jesus to kill him. In dreams, an angel of the Lord told (1) the Magi not to see Herod again, and (2) Joseph to escape with Jesus and Mary to Egypt. Jesus et al stayed in Egypt until Herod died and an angel told Joseph in a second dream that it was finally okay to go home. (Meanwhile, Herod had slaughtered all boys under two years old in the Bethlehem area.) As a human baby, Jesus was totally helpless, and he would have been killed if God the father hadn't intervened.
