I pray I can understand Gods word one day as much as you. In Jesus name. Amen

God knew to bring me here for a deeper understanding of what I read this morning! Thank you for piecing everything together 🥹

Just incredible. Absolutely incredible. God’s character is again magnified through this line-upon-line detail of this story, thank you

Thank you! It all makes sense now. This is the best commentary on this story that I've seen.

Very insightful reflection!! Blessings..

Wow!! That is such an obvious repetition, yet I had never noticed it before. Thank you so much, Chris!

Thanks, God bless you!

oooh boy this is incredibly cool revelation. May God bless you indeed

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. "

Amen ....so blessed

This great!Awesome exegesis!!

This has amazing content

Wow! So blessed from this video

What a beautiful reminder of God’s love toward us in the story of our lives.

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.

This was a blessing. Thank you

Thank you! It all makes sense now.

THANK GOD FOR BRINGING UP GOOD PEOPLE LIKE TO TEACH US MORE ABOUT THE BIBLE AND HAVE FULL UNDERSTANDING

It was really helpful, as I was stuck on this passage for days. Thank you

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 :)

Thank you!

Amazing brother I got the answer at last Thank u God bless u 😍

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!

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.

Wow this connected so well for me. Thank you

Thank you so much for this inspiration! The Lord always leads right where I need to go. God bless.

God bless you brother. I hope to learn to study the Bible the same as you do. May the Lord use you mightily. Such a blessing for me your videos.

Thank you for making this, you deserve more attention.

Thank you for your wonderful explanation on Jacob's encounter with the angel very well put you make me think into deeper depths of this story!!!!!!

This was good.

Great🙏🏽

Thank you brother…I prayed to understand this passage and the Spirit led me here!

I watched your video for the first time n it really enlightened me Thanku May GBU more in Jesus name amen

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!

Amen

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" 🙏💯

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.

Once you realize THE GOSPEL is true, you can then interpret every book of the Bible!!!

Haii brother Chris praise the lord..this is pastor premkumar Andhrapradesh state of India...I like your study bible

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

Wow.👍 Cut right through me. I am Jacob.

Wow

From India

My name is Jacob

God made us for his pleasure and where we seek who that's going to be the best choice is that which is ordained or recited

interesting insight brother. tx. Still wondering is this was a pre-incarnation appearance of Christ or not.

This messed me all the way up!!!!

Confirmation

Thank you. Jacob did not steal the blessing. Isau sold it to him.

Jacob name in hebrew comes from the root A. K. V עקב Meaning to follow after.... It is not to deceive. Esav said, Jacob as his name, followed him twice and took once his first born, than second time the blessing. JACOB = FOLLOW

Hello! Isn’t it impossible to see God? How could Jacob then see him. Wasn’t the man a angel instead of God? Just curious 🧐

Jacob’s fight with the angel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9XwctiV7028.html

Was he wrestling with Jesus?

He was wrestling with Enoch not God. Jacob was confused he thought esua was lord. The thing is God was known at this time and of coarse Enoch resembled him.

what God are you talking about because scripture tell us psalm 147 /19/20 he show his words to Jacob and his statutes and judgments to Israel for he has never 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 he show his words to Jacob an Israelite his statutes and judgments to Israel jacon name was change to Israel so the most high is talking to Israel bible never mention no other nation of people according to scripture he never dealt with any other nation so what do you know of his words statutes or judgments

No one can see God. God reveals Himself through dreams and visions only. The Bible clearly says Moses is the only exception. Therefore, Jacob did not wrestle with God. Jacob wrestled with an angel. Angel represented God but not God Himself. Jacob thought he wrestled with God. That was just his unilateral proclamation not confirmed by any other Bible verses. In Hosea 12:4, Jacob's opponent is described as "malakh", which means angel.

It was an angel that Jacob wrestled with He wrestles with him for Gods favor False teachers use this text to prove God became a man but it was an angel Bible doesnt contradict Jehovah told moses no man can see me and live

Genesis 32:22-33 This verses of Bible the greatest lie in the History of mankind. Jacob beat God. God doesn't know the name of Jacob. Bible says no one had seen god of Bible.

Thank you

Amen

Amen
