Prayer is so important. God is the only one who can give us a better understanding of His Word. He does this through His Spirit who will guide us into all truth. So we need to ask for that. Then consistently spend time with the Word and read it very attentively as a unified story that leads to Jesus. Note the repetitions, ponder the connections, think about how the text reveals Jesus and the theme of salvation. Keep doing that and you will gain a deeper understanding of the Bible. Blessings!
I subscribed today. How many times in life have we all wrestled with God?? Am I wrestling with Him or myself or Satan. Why was God wrestling with his servant??? God was trying to grow Jacob up into the man God wanted him to be..... Just as He does with all of us He never gives up on us His patience is infinite with those who repent and have faith Him and the cleansing blood of Jesus.
My pleasure! :) For a long time I didn't see it either. But once you notice it the connection is pretty obvious. The whole thing is actually part of a larger chiastic structure that encompasses the entire Jacob cycle. Maybe I'll do a video on that sometime.
Thanks a lot. Almighty God bless you. Genesis 32: 22- 32. Jacob beat the god of Bible the next morning. How can possible a man beat the god of Bible. The second question God knows the name of all stars one by one and does know the name of Jacob. The third question is your Bible says no one saw god. Therefore, Bible is a book of lies and contradictions. Christians scholars say Bible had 50.000 lies, contradictions and funy jokes, like what is your name? God of 10 commandments knows the name of every person one by one.
@@LeeHyun-pr7tm "the man" was an angel like in the story of Lot and the 2 men.. If you watched the video you would understand why "the man" asks Jacob what his name is.. The Bible is a mystery to non-believers, see Colossians 1:26-29..
That's a very profound truth that you bring out in this video. It makes me think of what David says in Psalms 51 "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. "
Thank you Chris for giving sound meaning (based on sound doctrine) to this verse. I did not comprehend the verse that way at all. I love the part about the sun setting when he ran away and the sun rising after Jacob got his blessing.
Hi Chris! Thanks a million! Your inspiring insight into this mysterious encounter has FINALLY solved my confusion I so much wanted to know all these 15 years! Jacob deceived & got blessing but was illegal. Here he gave his true identity & got the real blessing!!! I always questioned the legality, morality of Jacob wondered how God would really bless thru such cheating. Now I am at peace. God rewards honesty!! May God bless you much more!
A friend introduced me to your videos and I am really being refreshed in the Lord as I learn benefit from the gift God gave you my brother. Its needed in such times as these, when the TRUTH is being denied even by our own brethren in the church. I am encouraged, God has a remnant and He will preserve and save the remnant.
Ah yes, the beautiful tale of Jacob's Great Heel Turn where he wrestles with God all night & pivots from a conman to the Patriarch of the Patriarchs...the God-Wrestler. Thank you for pointing-out some of the finer points & parallelisms that are often overlooked, it's such a quick passage when you're reading it that you can forget to slow down and think about what just happened in the narrative.
what god are you talking about psalm 147/19/20 he show his words to Jacob and his statutes and judgments to Israel for he has not dealt with any other nation and for his judgments they have not known them that's why I ask what God are you talking about according to the bible the most high show his words to Jacob an Israelite his statutes and judgments to Israel jacob name was change to Israel still an Israelite never mention no other nation of people and according to the bible the most high never dealt with any other nation of people that's why I ask what God are you talking about joel 2/27 and ye shall know that i'am in the midst of Israel and I'm the lord ur God and none else according to the bible the most high is telling Israel he is their God and none else that's why I ask what God are you talking about
@@donaldcoleman514 I am from Israel... God show faithfulness to Israel as favor to their fathers that had faith in him, and to believers from any nation and their childrens. Thank God for your seriousness, you are blessed The guy here, masterpiece, do not answer about Israel nation....for some hidden reason.
Hey, Chris! Thank you so much for sharing this interesting analysis! I like literature, and when I started seeing the Bible as literature too, I noticed intentionalities, author's background, intertextuality and many other literary resources. It definitely changed my reading. These points you mentioned in Jacob's episode add so much meaning to the story!
Hey Lucas, you're welcome and thanks for sharing! I can definitely relate. It really is amazing what you can discover in the Bible once you begin to understand how it works and how you consistently find Jesus that way. Glad the video was helpful. Blessings!
Wow! ❤ I thought it was so Jacob can realize who he is at that very moment and throw it away so he can have a new name. I don’t know but this perspective is right on the nail
THANK YOU DEAR SIR, YOU ARE SO ON POINT. GOD BLESS YOU! MAY GOD GRANT DELIVERANCE FOR HUMANITY, FOR OUR WORLD. THERE IS DECEPTION & MANIPULATION, BCOZ SUCH IS THE WAY OF MAN. HOPEFULY THE HOLY SPIRIT IS "ROAMING & INFILTRATING" LIVES, HUMAN SOCIETY, OUR WORLD OF HUMANITY, THAT IS SO IN NEED OF GODLY WISDOM & DELIVERANCE FROM THE MESS & MISTAKES BROUGHT UPON BY OUR OWN DOING. MAY TRUTH PREVAIL! GLORY ALELUAH! MAY GOD KEEP YOU STRONG & ABLE TO CONTINUE YOUR SERVICE TO HUMANITY. AGAIN, THANK YOU.
Well....in addition to changing his name, one thing coming out the gate you need to understand about all Heavenly Father "he always asks a question first".. giving one an opportunity for honesty, to be truthful, now.. do y'all believe for a second.. God didn't know Jacob's name.. "of course he did", going back in the garden, the first thing he asked Adam when Adam hid himself from God, "who told you you was naked".. question, now, you think God didn't know what had transpired.. of course he did, it's to give man the opportunity to be truthful with him, over and over and over again you see this in God's word, he'll always ask the question first, giving one the opportunity for honesty.. this is why he asked him his name, "God is always Fair"...check it out for yourself, how precious he is, I love him for that, "I just do" 🙏💯
I've recently started educating myself on the idea of God. I'm a self proclaimed Atheist, however since a young age I have always been surrounded by the idea of religion. My grandfather was a Jehovah Witness and I attended Church of England schools both as a child and a teenager. I have never frequented a church,, however sometimes I enter them to indulge my curiosity. For me as someone who is trying to grasp the concept of what make a god, well a god; I have no understanding of what faith is. How is a faith in god any different to the faith I place in people. Jacob a man who has lived through hardship, in the face of certain danger, makes the decision to send his family and acquaintances across the river, as his brother marches towards him, with 400 Men. Jacob dreams he wrestles with an angel, which turns out to be God. God names him Israel, meaning those who wrestle with god, and this is possibly one of the first passages in the bible that has truly resonated with me. My concept of the story, is that everyone in times of hardship, struggles with the idea of faith. Be that in God or circumstance. You wrestle with the idea of god. Why is it me that you unwittingly test? Why is it I must make these hard choices? Have you abandoned me? Will you help me? Will you guide me? All questions that in the face of god, are lost and unanswered. I find that I struggle with the Idea of god, not because I don't believe in his existence. God is an idea created by humans, so they can reconcile with the blessing that is free will. But because I find it hard to believe that there is one god. This is not the same god today that wrestled with Jacob. This god, although all powerful, knows not of Jacobs name. Which is contradicting. If he truly was the god of Jacobs forefathers, would God not already know Jacobs name? And if he was the god of today, he is all knowing, which would contradict him not knowing Jacobs name. Edit: having watched the video in full I have found a few of my questions answered to an extent. Thank you!!! These are my ramblings and they make no sense, but I like to type things down. Feel free to discuss with me any point I've raised or haven't raised. Thanks :)
The name Yakov can only be understood in its original language, Hebrew. Gen 25:26 Afterward, his brother came out with his hand holding בַּעֲקֵ֣ב (the heel of) Esau, and he called his name יַעֲקֹ֑ב Yakov. Notice that the three letters עקב refer to the heel of someone. Yakov's name is after someone who takes hold and fights to get something, and, with the messenger of Elohim, he gets his blessing.
Thanks for your question! It is impossible to see God except when he comes to us in human form. The Bible is clear that Jesus is God and just as clear that people saw him. Jacob explicitly says that he saw God and the story only makes sense if it was God because only God could provide the blessing Jacob longed for. Like many other interpreters, I believe that Jacob wrestled with Jesus who came down and took on human form just like he did in the New Testament. This also fits with Jacob's experience of receiving a new identity: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come (2 Cor 5:17).
@@MasterpieceBible thanks for the answer! I have watched some of your videos and I can tell you have good knowledge about the Bible. I am in a very complicated situation and I really need someone who can answer my questions about, for example, the doctrine of the Trinity and so on. Is there any other way we can discuss my questions? As soon as possible :.)
@@MasterpieceBible, great video, and any compliment from me is extremely difficult to acquire. The most interesting things in scripture tend to be the places that seem to conflict with other parts of scripture, such as God asking Jacob for his name when a “God” shouldn’t need it. For example, you claim, “It is impossible to see God except when he comes to us in human form” when actually the scriptures conflicts with that statement. Specifically, John 1:18, John 6:46, 1 John 4:12, 1 John 4:20, and 3 John 1:11. Yet, Jesus is God, and the scriptures state Adam saw God, as did Abraham, Moses, and many others, so the scripture is not in agreement, but I am telling you that it does not conflict, but one must learn this nuance to understand God. Maybe you would like me to email you.
Rebecca was told that "the older (Esau) would serve the younger (Jacob)" and that Esau was a manhunter (Gen 27.40) and Jacob a keeper of sheep, a Shepherd (like Messiah). (Gen 25.27-28). It was Isaac, who was BLIND and wanted to give the blessing to the wrong son.
