Jacob "Wrestled A Man" All Night Long
HEADLINE
Genesis 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a
man with him until the breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he
prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow
of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26 And he said, Let
me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou
bless me. 27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. 28 And
he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel

You may be wondering about why this selection is now our
HEADLINE. Consider the
circumstances. Keep in mind that these
men were ACTORS in an allegory that Playwright-God was performing for His upper
"student-Body of Witnesses".
He always has TWO AUDIENCES, (1) newly redeemed spirits of men, and (2)
children of flesh and blood on Earth. In
line with that, the performance is about two branches of Isaac's children, Esau
and Jacob. Remember what the angel told
Rebecca:
Genesis 25:21 And
Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was
intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 And the children struggled
together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to
enquire of the LORD. 23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy
womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one
people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the
younger. 24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there
were twins in her womb. 25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy
garment; and they called his name Esau. 26 And after that came his brother out,
and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac
was threescore years old when she bare them.
The TEACHER did this to show us what MANKIND really and
truly is. A MAN is a two-part
life-form. He is partly (1) a living
"spirit-offspring" of Creator-God symbolized by Jacob, and (2) a
flesh and blood man in a human form. The
human portion is visible and the spirit portion is invisible to human
eyes. When it comes to "man",
you must always consider both of his components, spirit and flesh.
Secrets of Enoch 30:10 I conceived a cunning saying to say,
I created man from invisible and from visible nature, of both are his death and
life and image, the knows speech like some created thing, small in greatness 11
and again great in smallness, and I placed him on earth, a second angel,
honourable, great 12 and glorious, and I appointed him as ruler to rule on
earth and to have my wisdom, and there was none like him of earth of all my
existing creatures. 13 And I appointed him a name, from the four component
parts, from east, from west, from south, 14, 15 from north, and I appointed for
him four special stars, and I called his name Adam, and showed him the two
ways,. the light and the darkness, and I told him: 'This is good, and that
bad,' that I should learn whether he has love towards me, or hatred, that it be
clear which in his race love me. 16 For I have seen his nature, but he has not
seen his own nature, therefore through not seeing he will sin worse, and I
said: 'After sin what is there but death?'
Now we have the parameters of God's program presented on
stage in Jacob's days on the Earth-stage.
As he was sojourning to find the "land of promise" given as a
blessing to Abraham's seed, his brother Esau and his forces were coming to meet
him. Esau thought Jacob had stolen a
blessing that he thought should have gone to him. Jacob felt compelled to bring a gift to
appease his wrath and protect his family.
Father-God is a Master Playwright and Teacher. Everything in this event is purposeful and
has deeper meaning.
2 Esdras 6:7 'Tell me', I went on, 'about the interval that
divides the ages. When will 8 the first age end and the next age begin?' He
said, 'The interval will be no bigger than that between Abraham and Abraham;
for Jacob and Esau were his descendants, and Jacob's hand was grasping Esau's
heel at the 9 moment of their birth. Esau represents the end of the first age,
and Jacob 10 the beginning of the next age. The beginning of a man is his hand,
and the end of a man is his heel. Between the heel and the hand, Ezra, do not
look for any interval.'
This is what the angel did not disclose to Rebecca about the
twins inside her. The Teacher was using
the babies as allegories in a living psychodrama about the dual creation of
mankind and what it means, part "spirit" offspring from God and part
clay having a body of flesh and blood.
Esau represented the flesh and blood component and Jacob the spirit
component. In this world what one sees
first is the flesh and blood body as it emerges from the human womb. Only in spiritual circumcision (death) will
the spirit be REDEEMED from the clay, Matthew 13:30, Ecclesiastes12:7, John
4:23-24, Isaiah 66:18, 21-23.
I suppose if He had wanted to, Father could have told
Rebecca, "I am using you and the twins to tell the allegoric story of mankind
in two parts. A man is both spirit and
flesh. The flesh is an envelope covering
the spirit. In effect the human body is
"stage clothes" to mask the spirit ID." But He kept it hidden. Today we are interpreting these earlier
events in Father's long-term play. On
stage we see Jacob seeking to appease Esau's supposed anger at him for
receiving Isaac's blessing for the firstborn.
This refers to the sojourn all human beings undergo in STEP-ONE. Jacob did not know that Earth is a
prison-chamber for devils and every human born down here has to deal with
them. "A man jumped on Jacob and
wrestled with him all night long".
What are we to make of this? God
does not waste time or stage props! What
do we find in this scenario? It is dark
and the battle is going back and forth.
Jacob does not give up and neither does "the man". But sunrise is approaching and the man asks
Jacob to let him go before the sun rises.
Jacob refuses and requires a blessing from "the man". He gets his blessing as a name-change or name
addition. He is called "Isra
-El" meaning a "prince (or son) of God", a reference to each
man's spirit ID.
So what Father is teaching us is all humans born in the pit
of hell where demons are confined will have to wrestle all their lifetime with
imprisoned invisible demonic inmates.
The attack begins at birth as soon as we exit the womb of our mothers.
Revelation 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing
in birth, and pained to be delivered. 3 And there appeared another wonder in
heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and
seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of
heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman
which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was
born. 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a
rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
All of a man's life on earth is in darkness of
"spiritual night-time".
Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the
glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover
the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee,
and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
Observe that Jacob wrestled with "the man" until
the daybreak. It is because the sun
consumes all darkness. When the "sun-son"
in question rises, he returns to Paradise for
STEP-TWO, the RE MAKE stage of the Father-Potter. As you can see I have jumped ahead and
interpreted what happens. In the actual
event, devils bundled in human prison cells (Matthew 12:43-45) have to let go
of the men Jesus calls. Devils are cast again
into their curse of falling in never ending circles if they cannot grab another
fleshy life-form. Father draws His son or daughter spirit upstairs to Paradise , the "barn of Heaven".
In the attack Jacob does not leave the battle
unscathed. "The man" touches
Jacob in the hollow of his thigh wounding him.
This is as close a reference as God cared to make about that this
means. It means that devils will defeat
mankind using their specialty, sexual stimulation to cripple our lives on
earth.
Revelstion 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which
had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will
shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2
With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the
inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman
sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven
heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and
decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her
hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her
forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of
the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I
wondered with great admiration.
Devils will use fornication, adultery, and sodomy to cripple
mankind all the days we exist in the pit of hell with them. Sexual stimulation is their ACE
WEAPONRY. Of course God takes advantage
of their skill. They cause men to
"plow the furrows" of the field and get men to sow seed in them. This gives the Father-Husbandman many
womb-choices in which to plant His spirit-seed offspring all over the globe. God uses slave-labor from devils to augment
the sowing process.
So when we turn the spirit-keys unlocking Genesis 32:24-31,
we get a deeper hidden revelation by our Teacher, Father-God. Our sojourn in the devils' prison for and
average of three score and ten years is not a trip through the daisies. We must wrestle devils until the day we are
REDEEMED.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Habakkuk 1:4
Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the
wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
You now understand why men make so many errors in
judgment. Demons surround our heads as a
"crown of thorns" and thereby mislead men.
2 Esdras 7:11 He said to me: 'Such is the lot of Israel Israel
There is no escape from battling demons. We are born inside their prison chamber and
since we are God's offspring, they will "sock it to us" to get back
at Him.
Psalms 69:9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up;
and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
Father-God cast them down here, and He is their Judge and
enemy. They see men as fair game and
targets for revenge against Him!
Matthew 25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I
was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and
ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw
we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw
we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when
saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall
answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
This is something to rejoice about. It is your family history and your destiny
among the stars. If you are human, God
has blessed you, and He has given you a place in Our Family and a heritage
among the stars of glory. If you are a
demon, you are not included in these blessings.
You can look forward to falling, being erased to nothing by fire, being
forgotten forever, and total oblivion.
Genesis 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look
now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he
said unto him, So shall thy seed be. 6 And he believed in the LORD; and he
counted it to him for righteousness.
After all God did tell Abraham, "Look up at the stars
and count them if you can". He
continued saying, "All this land I will give to your seed because you
believed me". He had no way of
knowing that the stars are HUGE masses of land and storage places rotating and
glowing like planets and distant suns.
He did not know that THIS IS THE REAL PROMISE LAND God gave to "His
princes" or Isra-El. Prime Minister
Netanyahu and the Jews in Palestine TRUE PROMISE
LAND Paradise ! No man can force the fulfillment of the Word
and promise of God. "The land which
the Lord thy God giveth thee", has to be GIVEN BY GOD, not the U.N. and
certainly not taken by force and bloodshed from those living on the land. There are STARS hundreds of times larger than
our yellow sun in the Milky Way Galaxy.
They are all heritages for God's children. Your name might just be on one or more of
them. So the Jews of the nation Israel Israel
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for
the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more
sea.
Isaiah 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which
I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and
your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to
another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship
before me, saith the LORD.
