Part 1❤ in Christ😊❤. Genesis 32:22-32(Jacob wrestles with God) "22 The same night he rose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and everything else that he had. 24 And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. 25 When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26 Then he said,"Let me go, for the day has broken." But Jacob😊❤ said, " I will not you go unless you(God😊100%❤) bless me." 27 And he( God😊100%❤) said to him(Jacob), "What is your name? " And he said, " Jacob." 28 Then he said,"Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel❤ , for you have striven with God(😊100%❤) and with men, and have prevailed( win)." 29 Then Jacob asked him, " Please tell men your name." But he(God😊100%❤) said, " Why it it that you ask for my name?" And there he(God😊100%❤) blessed him(Jacob😊❤). 30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel(" Peniel " means face of God😊100%❤ ) , saying, " For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered." 31 The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel (diffeent spelling of " Peniel " = Penuel,) limping because of his lip. 32 Therefore to this day the people❤ of Israel❤ do not eat the sinew of the thigh that is on the hip socket,(you might ask why?) because he(God😊100%❤) touch the socket of Jacob's hip on the sinew of the thigh."(Genesis 32:22-32 ESV Study Bible that is that in Christ and in Genesis 32:30 again "30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel(or"face of God😊100%❤" ) , saying, " For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered." "(Genesis 32:30 ESV Study Bible. Today in Christ Jesus😊1st❤ have you also ever encounter with God(God😊100%❤) face to face live testimonies experience too in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤). In Genesis 33:30 from what Jacob("Jacob" now in (Genesis 32:28a) now called Israel❤))) in the Old Testament, Jacob(Israel) experienced God face to face that why the place Jacob called the name of the place "Peniel,..." in Genesis 32:30a ESV Study Bible. For " Peniel " means " face of God."(ESV Study Bible) "Jacob's encounter with God that fills him with awe."(ESV Study Bible) According to my ESV Study Bible in Christ, it said, " When later Moses asks to God's glory, he(Moses) is told, " You cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live"(Exodus 33:20, the Bible said in Genesis 33:20 "20 But, " he(God😊100%❤) said (to Moses😊❤),"You cannot see my face, for(because) man shall not see me and live."(Exodus 33:20 ESV Study Bible) To get a little better picture i go to Genesis 33:17-21 "17 And the LORD (God😊100%❤) to Moses, " This very thing that you have spoken I will do, for you have favor in my sight, and I know you by name." 18 Moses (😊❤) said, " Please show me your glory😊❤." 19 And he(God😊100%❤) said, " I will make my goodnes(😊❤) pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ' The LORD(The Lord God😊100%❤).' And I will be gracious😊❤ to whom 😊❤ I will 😊❤ be gracious😊❤, and will show mercy😊❤ on whom😊❤ I will😊❤ show mercy😊❤."(Exodus 33:17-19 ESV Study Bible so far pause in Christ here ) ( " mercy😊❤"(Exodus 33:19b) speaking of "mercy" 😊❤i also remebering of Romans 9:14-15😊❤ now in Christ Jesus😊1st❤too in Christ. May God help me to share Romans 9:14-15 😊❤ later after sharing the following in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray(Romans 9:14-15😊❤, now go back to Exodus 33:20-23 First then wrap explaining and back to Romans 9 14-15 and Matthew 16:18 in the NT in Christ too) Amen. Genesis 33:20-23 "20 But, " he(God😊100%❤) said(to Moses😊❤),"You cannot see my face, for(because) man shall not see me and live." 21 And the LORD(Or God😊100%❤) said, " Behold😊❤, there is a place by me where you shall stand on😊❤ the rock😊❤, 22 and while my glory😊❤ passed by I will put you in a clef of the rock😊❤(rememberingb Peter or one of Jesus' firsr disciples is also Peter the Rock😊❤ too) and I will cover you( Moses😊❤) with my hand until passed by. 23 Then I will😊❤ take away my hand, and you shall😊❤ see my back😊❤, but my face shall not be seen." "( Exodus 33:20-23 ESV Study Bible. That is that in Christ. Now Do you also remember Peter is the rock in the New Testament from Jesus😊1st❤ said in Matthew 16:18(Jesus😊1st❤ said) "18 And I tell you, you are Peter 😊❤ and on this rock😊❤, I will build my church😊❤, and the gate of hell shall not prevail against it."( Matthew 16:18 ESV Study Bible.
