Episode 716 Show Notes
From the Show
Initially, Jacob probably thinks that he is wrestling with his brother Esau. The context here is that Jacob is about to meet Esau again and he is terrified. But he realizes after the sun starts to rise that this isn’t Esau. It’s the Angel of the Lord.

- In Genesis 32 it says that Jacob was wrestling with God and saw his face, but in John chapter 1 it says no one has seen the face of God but Jesus. How do you make sense of that?
