… and He is Sending YOU!!
Revelation 7:1-12
Matt 26: 36-46
Obadiah 1.1-21
1 Corinthians 5:1-13
Jacob is Blessed, but doesn’t seem to spend much time with Yahweh like our mentor Abraham, much like the Bride of Messiah of today. We see that he is full of fear. So Yahweh meets with him, wrestles all night, spends all this time working out his fears of the world and worldly desires. We see a great change in Jacob; from this point on He is Israel!! It seems this change is from the letter to the Spirit, as it is becoming in You!
