Did y’all not know Jacob and Israelites were black ? All this religion until u guys pass and y’all never affirm the truth. Crazy to me.
Did Jacob actually wrestled with God ? Hosea 12:2-4 says: "Jehovah (God's name, see Isa 12:2, KJV) has a legal case against Judah; He will call for an accounting against Jacob (or nation of Israel) according to his ways, and he will repay him (or the nation of Israel) according to his deeds. In the womb he seized his brother by the heel, and with his vigor he contended with God (or sought a blessing). He kept contending with an angel and prevailed. He wept and begged for his favor.” He found him at Bethʹel (the first time, Gen 28:10-22), and there He spoke with us (through a dream)".
To further show that no one has seen God at any time, is what the apostle John wrote in 98 C.E.: "No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god (or Jesus Christ) who is at the Father’s side is the one who has explained Him (during his ministry from 29-33 C.E.)."(John 1:18; see also 1 John 4:12)
So, Jacob wrestled with an angel for a blessing from Jehovah God, for he was diametrically different from his brother Esau, who did "not appreciate sacred things" and though Esau wanted the blessing as firstborn, which he legitimately sold to his twin brother Jacob because he despised it (Gen 25:27-34), "he earnestly tried to bring about a change of (his father Isaac's) mind with tears, it was to no avail", trying to get back what he had NO right to.(Heb 12:16, 17)
Jacob did not wrestle with an angel at Bethel, on his way to Paddan-Aram, almost 500 miles north where his mother's family lived in order to find a wife at age 77 years old. Rather, he wrestled with an angel on his return trip home twenty years later, at age 97, at Mahanaim (meaning "Two Camps"), on the eastern side of the Jordan river.(Gen 32:1, 2, 24-30; Note: it was at Bethel that Jacob had a dream with angels ascending and descending a stairway and of which Jehovah is stationed above the stairway and speaks to Jacob, saying that through his "offspring, all the families of the ground will certainly be blessed")
And Jacob did NOT bribe his twin brother, but instead sent a gift of two droves of animals, with each drove being a separate gift (Gen 32:13-16), to hopefully cool off Esau's anger from twenty years before when he threatened to kill Jacob once Isaac had died.(Gen 27:30-41)
At Proverbs 17:8, it says: "A gift is like a precious stone to its owner; Everywhere he turns, it brings him success", as well as Proverbs 21:14a, that says: "A secret gift subdues anger." Jacob used shrewdness with humility with regard to his unspiritual brother, dividing his camp into two camps, placing his two wives, Leah and Rachel, with their children, at the "back of the line", with Rachel and Joseph at the very back, sending a gift in advance of their meeting and then upon meeting Esau, he bows down to the earth seven times, so that Esau "embraced him and kissed him, and they burst into tears".(Gen 33:1-4)
Jacob's gift with his humility helped Esau's anger to disappear, saying to Esau who asked what the purpose of the camp of his wives with all the children that he had met, so that Jacob humbly replied: "In order to find favor in the eyes on my lord."(Gen 33:8) Jacob called his twin brother "lord", even though he had once wanted to kill him.
Would you do that ? Jacob set an excellent example of faith by his integrity in Jehovah God, who kept his word that he would ' safeguard Jacob wherever he went, and return him to the land of Canaan (to Beersheba), that he would not leave Jacob until he had done what he had promised for him.'(Gen 28:15)
Jacob is listed as a person of faith in Jehovah at Hebrews 11, along with "a great cloud" of other witnesses, who also exercised faith in Jehovah God.(Heb 12:1) Where do we stand personally with regard to exercising faith in Jehovah God ?
