I understand the gifts paid for the flight to Egypt.
No doubt that would have been handy if Joseph didn't have enough in reserve for the unexpected journey and stay in Egypt.
If this were the case, God's timing was perfect.
Symbolically the Gold represents Jesus' royalty as
King of kings.Frankincense was used in the Old Testament meat/ meal offerings. It started with Aaron and his sons. It was a burnt offering and also made into bread for the priests. It represents
Jesus as the offering Myrrh was used in the anointing oil as a main ingredient.
Not only the King's like David, but the priests were anointed.
Jesus is our High Priest that ever makes intercession for us.
It's a very interesting study.
