Bible Question:
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 |
Bible Answer: Hi Kudos, I can only really offer my opinions since this isn't spelled out in the Bible. Perhaps Jacob perceived himself as "strong in his flesh" and the LORD wanted to show him that physical strength would not prevail. The the LORD crippled him, forcing him to rely upon the LORD. Jacob may not have realized the full significance of what was happening at first. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |
