There is no evidence that they posed a threat to Abraham and his descendants, because the scriptures say that God had told Abraham that his descendants would go down to Egypt and spend 400 years there in bondage and afterwards be liberated (Genesis 15:13). This was before the angels went to pay Sodom a visit in Genesis chapter 19.

God altered history for Hezekiah because in the scriptures Isaiah went and prophesied to Hezekiah to get his house in order because he was about to die. Isaiah had no sooner left that Hezekiah prayed and God told Isaiah (before he had even left the courtyard) to go back and tell Hezekiah that he would live. God altered history at that point.

Lastly, Jesus was born in Bethlehem and the wise men came to ask where the child would be born who would rule over his people Israel. They were told that this child would be born in Bethlehem according to the scriptures. Herod then ordered all male boys 2 years and under in Bethlehem to be killed. Joseph was warned in a dream to flee to Egypt and he did with Mary and Jesus.

It doesn’t matter where they lived. God had warned Joseph in a dream to flee and he could have told all of those parents in Bethlehem in a dream, too, to flee to somewhere else but He didn’t.

Why alter history for King Hezekiah but not these parents and children living in Bethlehem?

I guess it is good to be king (in this case Hezekiah) as some have often said. I.E.: “It’s good to be King.”

Not so good to not be king (in this case Hezekiah) I guess...

Why do you keep asking the question when you know the answer that another mortal can give you? I don’t know why God decides to do certain things. This is the answer that has been given to you not only on this thread, but in scripture as well.

But why do try to understand God when you don’t even understand the words of men?
