Escort the Pawn - don't understand given explanation

Hello, I tried Ke4 to block Bf5. The tip says that White will play Be8-g6, but the Bishop cannot obviously do that next turn. It has to do Bd7 first, and my Pawn would have enough time to promote. What am I missing?

Yes, it should have said Bd7-e8-g6.

But the skewer is the result.

You need to move the king to another square that will take away Bf5 (and e6) and  not get skewered later.

Thanks, now that is clear. My brain still have difficulties to see more than 2-3 moves ahead!
