1 | Jacob fights with God | Gen 12:1 | kudos | 182878 | ||
Hi all. I'm kudos and i happen to be new in this group! I have a question about Jacob wrestling with the 'Angel'. I have read the previous responses to this but not yet satisfied. Anyone with any further insight to why a man will wrestle with God physically? the prayer part i understand (Hosea 12:4), but this 'fight' I dont get. Thanks Kudos |

2 | Jacob fights with God | Gen 12:1 | TheCurtMan000 | 182879 | ||
According to Gen. 12, Jacob was in a fearsome state of mind. He sent word of his coming to his brother, and his brother came out to meet him....with 400 men. Given the circumstances of their departure; that wasn't sounding to comforting. Jacob devised a plan and acted on it. Expecting trouble, Jacob devided up his belongings into two camps so that one might survive if the other one was attacted. Personally; at times, I'd rather face down any AND everybody else other than my adversary, including God. Jacob might have been feeling the same way. But scripture dosn't indicate this, neither does it indicate that at the forefront of this confortation that Jacob knew he was wrestling with God, but even if he did, Jacob knew that God wasn't going to kill him and his family, Esau on the other hand might do just that, at least in Jacob's mind he might. | ||||||
