The answer is from 9:33, but you won’t get it unless you watch from the start! Timestamps: 0:00 Definition of Angel (this will be important later) 1:35 Jacob meets Yahweh at Bethel (keep watching, trust me) 6:34 The Angel of God says he met Jacob at Bethel (getting there, you’ll be 🤯) 9:33 Now the passage you’re looking for (Jacob wrestles a man) 14:11 And now the inspired exegesis of what you just read (Hosea 12)
Good video Sam. But it's too bad that you didn't discover what is in Genesis 28:15 too. I believe that you are using the Legacy Standard Bible which translates the Hebrew as "not forsake you until", where the King James has translated it into English as: “for I will “not leave thee, until” I have done that which I have spoken to thee of” This is from the Masoretic Hebrew text, כִּי ”לֹא אֶֽעֱזָבְךָ עַד“ אֲשֶׁר אִם־עָשִׂיתִי אֵת אֲשֶׁר־דִּבַּרְתִּי לָֽךְ This is the first time that the Divine have ever Spoken the Words, *I will not leave thee, until*, and this was certainly never spoken to Abraham or Isaac, the other Two Patriarchs. Did you ever happen to notice that the Theophanic Man/Messenger that you're are speaking about here, only stayed and wrestled with Jacob *UNTIL the LIGHT*? The vow (the very first recorded vow) is a Quid Pro Quo vow. The Divine cannot lie, but Jacob didn't trust and have faith in YHVH yet. YHVH had to first fulfill His Promise, before Jacob would consider Him to be his God. So, the real question would be if Isaiah 55:11. is true, then why did Genesis 35:10. occur after Genesis 32:28.??? The reason that YHVH struck Jacob's hip is because it's a foreshadowing (damah from Hosea 12:10.) of the relationship between the future Israel and the Divine. Jacob (the first Israel) was lame and (they) didn’t “walk correctly”. The “striking” of Jacob’s thigh fulfills Amos 3:7., and it also foreshadows all of the punishments that YHVH would levy upon the first Israel for always being “stiffnecked” and “wrestling” with Him. The reason that Jacob asked YHVH what His name was, was because Jacob didn't personally know YHVH nor His Name “El Shaddai” or “God Almighty”. The Name “El Shaddai” was what the other Two Patriarchs, (Abram/Abraham - Genesis 17:1. and Isaac - Genesis 28:3.) knew YHVH’s Name as (see Exodus 6:3.), albeit both of them knew “El Shaddai” as being their “Nurturing Sustainer”. So, God replaces Jacob’s name with *Israel before the LIGHT*. Because God had only replaced Jacob’s name with Israel based upon the following criteria: • Jacob had shown his determination to struggle and to constantly fight against God. • And he had flaunted his rebellious propensity to disobey a Tôwrâh Commandment. This is a damah that warns of the divisive relationship between God and the first Israel, where the LORD “casts them out” (after *YESHUA the LIGHT*), for their rebellion, iniquities, and transgressions. I'd be happy to provide you with more brother, (I am almost 20 years older than you are). We all can learn more, Sam. Just ask.
P.S. The text "he (Jacob) wept, and made supplication unto Him (YHVH): He (Jacob) found Him (YHVH) in Bethel, and there he (Jacob) spake with Us (the Divine);" in Hosea 12:4. is referring to the Genesis 35:10 encounter.
The answer to who Jacob "wrestled" is here: Ephesians 6:12 The victorious struggle took place before God, from which Jacob received the name "Israel". Thus, "Israel" means a victorious struggle ("wrestle") before God on a spiritual level (against dark powers).
@@Lund.J No, Jacob did not wrestle against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places. Jacob wrestled against YHVW!!! Also, *so you believe that the created can be victorious over their Creator then* Wouldn't this make far more sense? Genesis 32:28.: “And He said, “Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power (שָׂרִ֧ית - the root verb שָׂרָה - sârâh; Qal stem, “to persist, to struggle and contend”) with God and with men, and hast prevailed.” (וַתּוּכָֽל - the root verb יָכֹל - yakol; Qal stem, to be “victorious, overcome, prevail and *endure”, where *endured* would be the correct translation.) Why *endured* instead of prevailed is the correct translation, is because it would be impossible for Jacob, or any created being, to somehow be victorious and to miraculously “prevail” over their Unfathomably Powerful, “Creator God”! Jacob *endured* because God simply “spared” his life. (See 32:30.) Genesis 32:30.: "And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my “life” is preserved (the verb וַתִּנָּצֵל the root נָצַל - natsal; Niphal stem, delivered, or *spared*).” Jacob didn’t “prevail” over God! Instead, God simply *spared* Jacob’s life for a future Purpose.
Brooo I didn't finish the video when I realized Jacob named The placed Bethel which would become Bethlehem where Jesus is from and he wrestled God who became a man ...Jesus is literally god who became a man ! The foreshadowing is CRAZYYY God is truly amazing
"Which would become Bethlehem" These don't appear to be the same. Genesis 35:19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). Bethlehem was previously Ephrath, not Luz Micah 5:2 mentions Bethlehem in prophecy during the period when Bethel was serving as a major worship center in the northern kingdom. Judges 19:2 references Bethlehem and "the house of Yahweh" (which could be a reference to Bethel) I can't find any sources to indicate they were the same place, even though I want it to be 😏
I was puzzling over this just this morning and asking God about it. He has sent me the answer this evening, praise be to his name. And thank you Sam for expounding the precious word to us.
Only those who don't know structure and language of the old testament could say the angel is god...... the prophets were also speaking as God, were they god?..... obviously the angels spoke as God because they are messengers of God and quoting the word of God. How does it make any sense that "God" cannot Prevail a man and "God" asked a man Permission to go?..... the Hebrew text doesn't Necessarily say "God" it says ELOHIM/El which doesn't always mean "God," the Definition of these words means "mighty" which could be angels, so jacob Is wrestledwith an angel, not with God.
@@nathankupczyk3125 The word Elohim is a species title like Earthling or Martian. Elohim are creatures and a Creator who live in the supernatural realm, the 3rd Heaven, or just Heaven. The angels (messengers) can travel between the world of the Elohim and the world of the Humans. There are other things in Heaven besides the Elohim, just as their are on Earth besides the humans, but these two species, both created by God, were created to live in different realms unless sent on an errand. So the "Angel" was an Elohim. The "Man" was an Elohim. "God" is an Elohim (but that's like saying the young boy who builds a basement full of Lego cities and people is a Lego. He can go into and out of the Lego world, but as the creator he is superior to the Lego creations.) But as far as whether he can enter the realm of the Elohim, yes. He has his throne there.
As I read more and more bit by bit, it is being revealed. When I come across this video, you confirm what I just read. Confirming what I was understanding? Wow, thank you, Lord, for continuing to open my eye heart and hearing. In Jesus's name amén. Thank you, Sam, for all that you do to teach the Lords work. God bless you always.

This is what i always say to the jews. If Jacob wrestled with just an angel. His name should be IsraMalakh. But he wrestled with God. That's why his name became Israel.
The problem is el and elohim DO NOT MEAN GOD. When are Christians going to understand this? it literally tells you in Hosea exactly what he fought with and it clearly calls this an angel, not God. And it calls this angel, elohim. How much clearer could you get that el does not mean God? It literally spells it out for you.
@@nothingbutthetruth613 seriously you know nothing. Genesis 1:1. Elohim created earth and heaven. So an angel created earth and heaven. Not God?? Please stop this.
@@menderkoure6442 So let's go through a little basic Hebrew. Every word in Hebrew has a root. The root of the word elohim is el. The word el does not mean God at all. There is NOTHING in this word that means God. El means strong or mighty. That's it. Look at Psalm 29:1 "sons of the mighty". It is simply conveying the idea of strength and power. Spiritual beings are called this because they have power beyond what we have. Yes, the majority of times this word is used, it is referring to God but not always and not even close. Look at Exodus 7:1 taking about Moses "I have made you elohim..." Is Moses god too? Look at Exodus 21 and 22. Elohim is referring to judges all throughout these chapters. And here you see clearly that elohim means an angel. The crazy part of this video is that most Christians bring up Jacob wrestling because they don't know Hosea and they believe the lies they are told. However, this guy actually quotes from there and quotes the very verse which tells you it is an angel. Just incredible that he could do this with a straight face. Then you have people that actually still fall for it. It literally says what this being was and it's not any God. What is he talking about? Just amazing!

He wrestled with Jesus. Also the way i think of it since the Hebrew word for angel means messanger and this particular angel is called "the angel of Yahweh" it can be conflated to be "the message of Yahweh" which can also be rephrased as "the Word of Yahweh".
Jesus was not alive when Jacob was, as Jacob was the father of Joseph, who was the husband of Mary, and Jesus was born to Mary and was of the Holy Ghost according to Matthew 1:20.
That is why we mortals can never comprehend God, being the mighty one, he can manifest himself to we mortals in many ways to show us his might. I had been also disturbed by this verse and thought how could God wrestle with a mear man, was prepared food and ate then he was called an Angel, I thought to myself it was impossible but now I perceive it, If God cannot reveal himself in any form as he pleases, the he isn't God and he does this for those with Faith to indeed he is God.
He revealed Himself as El Shaddai to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. but to Moses He said THE Divine Name (HASHEM is Hebrew for it) “I AM THAT I AM”. or YHWH
This is exactly what came to me. He cannot be contained. As soon as this thought came, my curiosity and all these questions, evaporated and I felt content. Cos I actually came to UA-cam searching for the meaning to a man wrestling with God. I couldn't comprehend it cos to me God is too great, too powerful but that was actually my little brain putting God into certain container which I can comprehend. Thank you Holy Spirit.
Another mind blowing before I go to sleep (time check 8:30pm Philippines time) I hope I dream this also just like Jacob. God bless Sam.. Thank you very much.

It literally says this was NOT God and it is an angel. It says it black and white in Hosea that it is an angel. What in the world is this video showing except how what they have taught you is a lie? He's trying to prove something from the very verse that disproves it. Amazing!
@@nothingbutthetruth613 Then why would Jacob say "It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared” (Genesis 32:30, NIV)?. Hogan explains why it is Jesus, " . He also say's for you have striven with God and have prevailed? Catch that from minute 12
@@Dankioko Because it doesn't say that. You think he saw God's face? You think he fought with God and won? Does that really make any sense to you? The word is elohim and this does not mean God. It means power or might and could be referring to many different beings or people including judges, royalty, and angels. He fought with an angel and he prevailed and he saw the angel face to face. This is exactly what Hosea is telling you. He literally spells it out for you. It was an angel. Very simple!

The Angel of The Lord never rebuked those for worship of Him. There was always a distinction between angels and The Angel of The Lord. Just because He could have destroyed Jacob doesn't mean He wanted to. Like a father who wrestles thier kids and let's them win to build confidence.
@@JD-gw3fp how could you say it's like a father let his kids win when the Hebrew text explicitly says he COULD NOT prevail him? The simple meaning of "could not" means simple like that he COULD NOT prevail! Beside this, if it was like a father who let his kids win why did Damage the Socket of Jacob's hip?? Is this what a father does??.... was jacob like a small kid who was looking for some "Confidence" to show up that he's a "Strong guy"?....
@nathankupczyk3125 Do you always read the text plain? Was that my opinion in the form of an analogy? Yes. But regardless a regular angel could have destroyed Jacob. God, could have destroyed Jacob, but did not? Why wrestle? Is there something deeper to the text? This was not a mere angel, and even Jacob said it was God. You saying Elohim does not defeat my argument. What is the context of this verse is the question you should ask yourself. Elohim can mean one thing and then mean something different somewhere else. This was Christ preincarnet that embodied a man to wrestle with Jacob. Also the disjoint was probably a reminder of that day. Jacob is Israel, and Israel wrestled with God throughout thier rise and falls.

The Angel of the Lord is also the one that appeared to Moses in the burning bush, the one named I AM, as well Michael the archangel that fought the dragon before the Earth was created (Rev), the one mentioned 3 times by Daniel, the one that fought Satan for the body of Moses, and the one named Israel, who gives Jacob his name.
Jude tells us that Michael was sent by God to deal in some way with the body of Moses, which God Himself had buried after Moses’ death... Michael =/= God i fear to tell you.
@@rubemartur8239 Jesus , the Son of God, is Michael the archangel in his role as the leader of all the angelic host. The Bible also describes Him as defending the angel Gabriel when he battled "the King of Tyre" (see Daniel) who is really Satan. When Jude describes Michael contending with Satan for the body of Moses, it shows you that Michael (The Angel of The Lord) is more powerful that the devil because He is God. Confusing? God is a consuming fire and not even the angels who are holy can stand in front of Him directly, so God sent His Son, who is also God, with a purposely lowered majesty/brightness, so he wont consume His creatures.
@@GD-qn7xo at Jude 1, Michael dont refer itself as God/Lord, even refered Lord in Third Verb tense, not First Verb tense, when directing to Satan. Why Michael couldnt cast something at Satan by itself, If its Him? Michael seems to not dare to do anything without Lord's commands. Remember, Jesus never incarnated, He was Spirit, He didnt made Himself Flesh yet, only the Flesh is human, species of creature, but He as God, inst creature in Spirit, He had Power and Authority. creatures in His services don't move an inch without Authority given. But Jesus has ALL Authority in the universe, being Spirit in the old testment. This Michael doesnt show that, but made itself hesitant in showing the jugdment that would wait Satan, instead, It left it to Lord. This contradics the fact Jesus has Authority to cast jugdment over cities in the Gospels, being Truly Man and Truly God, same Essence of Father, and will even cast jugdment in "That Day". This archangel, however, left it to Lord, in Jude 1, as If It wasnt of its business, but only to defend Moses' body. Having hole of leadership is something Lord give also to creatures, Just like Jesus said to Pilate. This Idea of archangel is matter of hierarchy amoung angels, amoung creatures. Jesus while a person in spirit, in the Eternity, always existed. The angels or any other angelical creature didnt.

I think this is and example of being born again and spiritual transformation
Your vessel, your brain, is not aware of the consciousness within you. Instead, it is your consciousness that perceives and controls the vessel-your body and brain. This perspective highlights the distinction between the mind and the physical body, suggesting that awareness transcends the material, with consciousness being the guiding force. It's a profound reflection on the nature of existence, implying that the mind observes and interacts with the body rather than being confined by it.

I am so blessed with the Church that Jesus has established. Hallowed be Thy name. I saw on the comments the ongoing debates: both the Jews and Christians are sincere and polite while trying to prove their standpoints. I appreciate & applause both sides. Starting here I am trying to answer questions in the long discussions: Now I see why the Jews struggle to accept Trinity, and what they have been taught that Elohim can mean strength, not always God. But that doesn't change the point: Jacob said "I have seen God face to face yet my life has been delivered." It doesn't make sense to apply this sentence if it was an angel. But the argument from Jews are from Hosea, where malakh (angel) is used. But the Christians have no problem with it, because in Exodus too, there is the angel that bears God's name, who forgives sins, and had to be obeyed. Remember that Trinity doctrine is one nature of God and three hypostasis. It is not contained as number: one plus one equals two. But metaphysics: infinity + infinity = infinity, or even infinity / 3 = infinity. So yeah, YHWH, its living Word, and its living Spirit. Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. In order for human to perceive Him, He needs to appear in some kind of forms: burning bush, light silent sound, pillar of fire, dove, Jesus, and sure an angel. What other form to meet Jacob face to face and wrestle with him.
Question was asked by our Jewish brothers why worshipping Jesus, look at Israelites whorshipping calf in Exodus was so wrong even though they thought its God: remember that the Israelites just came out from Egypt the pagan nation, where one of their pagan gods is Api - a bull deity. They still wanted the old way of worship, old way of living. At the same time it is an attempt to contain & control God to do human will. (I made you god, you do my will). When Moses obediently come to God, Israelites forces God to come to their presence into golden calf to guide them. Lastly, I saw a Jewish brother pointing that all Christian becomes one because of emotion: struggle with life, troubles, etc. Amen, thankyou brother, thats is exactly what Jesus said Luke 5:31-32 [31] Jesus said to them in reply, “Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do. [32] I have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners.”
That is the most brilliant explanation of Jacob's wrestle I have ever heard. Interesting, those who follow Judaism call the angel Esau. As an agnostic,Sam really explains in detail.

@@nathankupczyk3125 Not sure what you are saying, do you see Esau in this description? Sam clearly interprets that God can manifest himself as an angel. . Take another example in Exod.23:20-22. Who is this angel? My name is within him. Obey him,for he will not forgive your transgressions. No other angel in the hebrew scriptures is spoken of this way. Read the bible for what it says and try to understand it and not for what others tell you it says.

If I would accept that the angel wrestling With Jacob was god, it's also what others tell me it says, right?.... Regarding exudes 23, I'm just trying to understand. Obviously God forgive Transgressions, if the angel doesn't forgive transgressions how could he be God? According to Christianity that the angel is Jesus, how could this angel be Jesus? So Jesus doesn't forgive sin?...
The Angel of the Lord. Is the Word of God. Our Lord Jesus Christ before he became a man. Its the only way to make since of the scriptures. Praise the Name of the Lord.
Surah 34:57 and the prophet of Allah said when you finish eating dont wash your hand ,instead lick your fingers because you dont know the part of food where Allah's blessing is hidden 😅
Gen 32:29 'Then He said, "From now on you will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have fought with GOD and with men and you have conquered." GOD = 'The Word.' + Hosea 12:4-5. - ' and in his masculine strength he contended with God. He fought with the angel and overcame.'
"previously the name of the city had been Luz." Interestingly, "Luz" means "light" in Spanish. How does a Spanish word appear in reference to a city in Israel dating back to 1652-1505 BC?
"Luz" in the Bible means almonds (H3868), also separation or turn aside, and departure (H3869) (Hebrew). As almonds, they were abundant there in Bethel during those times. And almonds talk about God being "watchful" of His word to be performed hastily. As "separation" and "departure" prophetically means Jacob is going to separate ways with his brother Esau and to depart from being just a "Jacob" (in hot pursuit of God, "stalker") to become an "overcomer" (Israel, one who rules with God and with men).
12:04 I don't think men(plural for man) was referring to God as a man but rather Laban and Esau(men) or maybe it also includes god as man and served as a final test for Jacob to fulfill the part where he has sufficiently striven with men for his name to be Israel. I cannot think it means all men, otherwise it would roughly translate as "all men" or "man".
John 10:34-35 (KJV) Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

The answer is from 9:33, but you won’t get it unless you watch from the start!
Timestamps:
0:00 Definition of Angel (this will be important later)
1:35 Jacob meets Yahweh at Bethel (keep watching, trust me)
6:34 The Angel of God says he met Jacob at Bethel (getting there, you’ll be 🤯)
9:33 Now the passage you’re looking for (Jacob wrestles a man)
14:11 And now the inspired exegesis of what you just read (Hosea 12)
Good video Sam. But it's too bad that you didn't discover what is in Genesis 28:15 too.
I believe that you are using the Legacy Standard Bible which translates the Hebrew as "not forsake you until", where the King James has translated it into English as:
“for I will “not leave thee, until” I have done that which I have spoken to thee of”
This is from the Masoretic Hebrew text, כִּי ”לֹא אֶֽעֱזָבְךָ עַד“ אֲשֶׁר אִם־עָשִׂיתִי אֵת אֲשֶׁר־דִּבַּרְתִּי לָֽךְ
This is the first time that the Divine have ever Spoken the Words, *I will not leave thee, until*, and this was certainly never spoken to Abraham or Isaac, the other Two Patriarchs.
Did you ever happen to notice that the Theophanic Man/Messenger that you're are speaking about here, only stayed and wrestled with Jacob *UNTIL the LIGHT*?
The vow (the very first recorded vow) is a Quid Pro Quo vow.
The Divine cannot lie, but Jacob didn't trust and have faith in YHVH yet.
YHVH had to first fulfill His Promise, before Jacob would consider Him to be his God.
So, the real question would be if Isaiah 55:11. is true, then why did Genesis 35:10. occur after Genesis 32:28.???
The reason that YHVH struck Jacob's hip is because it's a foreshadowing (damah from Hosea 12:10.) of the relationship between the future Israel and the Divine. Jacob (the first Israel) was lame and (they) didn’t “walk correctly”. The “striking” of Jacob’s thigh fulfills Amos 3:7., and it also foreshadows all of the punishments that YHVH would levy upon the first Israel for always being “stiffnecked” and “wrestling” with Him.
The reason that Jacob asked YHVH what His name was, was because Jacob didn't personally know YHVH nor His Name “El Shaddai” or “God Almighty”.
The Name “El Shaddai” was what the other Two Patriarchs, (Abram/Abraham - Genesis 17:1. and Isaac - Genesis 28:3.) knew YHVH’s Name as (see Exodus 6:3.), albeit both of them knew “El Shaddai” as being their “Nurturing Sustainer”.
So, God replaces Jacob’s name with *Israel before the LIGHT*. Because God had only replaced Jacob’s name with Israel based upon the following criteria:
• Jacob had shown his determination to struggle and to constantly fight against God.
• And he had flaunted his rebellious propensity to disobey a Tôwrâh Commandment.
This is a damah that warns of the divisive relationship between God and the first Israel, where the LORD “casts them out” (after *YESHUA the LIGHT*), for their rebellion, iniquities, and transgressions.
I'd be happy to provide you with more brother, (I am almost 20 years older than you are).
We all can learn more, Sam. Just ask.
P.S. The text "he (Jacob) wept, and made supplication unto Him (YHVH): He (Jacob) found Him (YHVH) in Bethel, and there he (Jacob) spake with Us (the Divine);" in Hosea 12:4. is referring to the Genesis 35:10 encounter.
The answer to who Jacob "wrestled" is here:
Ephesians 6:12
The victorious struggle took place before God, from which Jacob received the name "Israel".
Thus, "Israel" means a victorious struggle ("wrestle") before God on a spiritual level (against dark powers).
3 temptations of Jesus refers to the same thing.
Advasary will fail in the last of them.
@@Lund.J No, Jacob did not wrestle against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Jacob wrestled against YHVW!!!
Also, *so you believe that the created can be victorious over their Creator then*
Wouldn't this make far more sense?
Genesis 32:28.: “And He said, “Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power (שָׂרִ֧ית - the root verb שָׂרָה - sârâh; Qal stem, “to persist, to struggle and contend”) with God and with men, and hast prevailed.” (וַתּוּכָֽל - the root verb יָכֹל - yakol; Qal stem, to be “victorious, overcome, prevail and *endure”, where *endured* would be the correct translation.)
Why *endured* instead of prevailed is the correct translation, is because it would be impossible for Jacob, or any created being, to somehow be victorious and to miraculously “prevail” over their Unfathomably Powerful, “Creator God”! Jacob *endured* because God simply “spared” his life. (See 32:30.)
Genesis 32:30.: "And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my “life” is preserved (the verb וַתִּנָּצֵל the root נָצַל - natsal; Niphal stem, delivered, or *spared*).”
Jacob didn’t “prevail” over God!
Instead, God simply *spared* Jacob’s life for a future Purpose.
Brooo I didn't finish the video when I realized Jacob named The placed Bethel which would become Bethlehem where Jesus is from and he wrestled God who became a man ...Jesus is literally god who became a man ! The foreshadowing is CRAZYYY God is truly amazing
"Which would become Bethlehem"
These don't appear to be the same.
Genesis 35:19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). Bethlehem was previously Ephrath, not Luz
Micah 5:2 mentions Bethlehem in prophecy during the period when Bethel was serving as a major worship center in the northern kingdom.
Judges 19:2 references Bethlehem and "the house of Yahweh" (which could be a reference to Bethel)
I can't find any sources to indicate they were the same place, even though I want it to be 😏

@@nathankupczyk3125 It's your lucky day I guess ua-cam.com/video/xz46854OPe8/v-deo.html
@@nathankupczyk3125 The word Elohim is a species title like Earthling or Martian. Elohim are creatures and a Creator who live in the supernatural realm, the 3rd Heaven, or just Heaven. The angels (messengers) can travel between the world of the Elohim and the world of the Humans. There are other things in Heaven besides the Elohim, just as their are on Earth besides the humans, but these two species, both created by God, were created to live in different realms unless sent on an errand. So the "Angel" was an Elohim. The "Man" was an Elohim. "God" is an Elohim (but that's like saying the young boy who builds a basement full of Lego cities and people is a Lego. He can go into and out of the Lego world, but as the creator he is superior to the Lego creations.) But as far as whether he can enter the realm of the Elohim, yes. He has his throne there.

This is what i always say to the jews. If Jacob wrestled with just an angel. His name should be IsraMalakh. But he wrestled with God. That's why his name became Israel.
The problem is el and elohim DO NOT MEAN GOD. When are Christians going to understand this? it literally tells you in Hosea exactly what he fought with and it clearly calls this an angel, not God. And it calls this angel, elohim. How much clearer could you get that el does not mean God? It literally spells it out for you.
@@nothingbutthetruth613 seriously you know nothing. Genesis 1:1. Elohim created earth and heaven. So an angel created earth and heaven. Not God?? Please stop this.
@@menderkoure6442 So let's go through a little basic Hebrew. Every word in Hebrew has a root. The root of the word elohim is el. The word el does not mean God at all. There is NOTHING in this word that means God. El means strong or mighty. That's it. Look at Psalm 29:1 "sons of the mighty". It is simply conveying the idea of strength and power. Spiritual beings are called this because they have power beyond what we have. Yes, the majority of times this word is used, it is referring to God but not always and not even close. Look at Exodus 7:1 taking about Moses "I have made you elohim..." Is Moses god too? Look at Exodus 21 and 22. Elohim is referring to judges all throughout these chapters. And here you see clearly that elohim means an angel. The crazy part of this video is that most Christians bring up Jacob wrestling because they don't know Hosea and they believe the lies they are told. However, this guy actually quotes from there and quotes the very verse which tells you it is an angel. Just incredible that he could do this with a straight face. Then you have people that actually still fall for it. It literally says what this being was and it's not any God. What is he talking about? Just amazing!

He wrestled with Jesus.
Also the way i think of it since the Hebrew word for angel means messanger and this particular angel is called "the angel of Yahweh" it can be conflated to be "the message of Yahweh" which can also be rephrased as "the Word of Yahweh".
EXACTLY!!!
Seeing someone understand this with discernment makes me happy because so many people have it wrong and post opinions that dont have logic
Jesus was not alive when Jacob was, as Jacob was the father of Joseph, who was the husband of Mary, and Jesus was born to Mary and was of the Holy Ghost according to Matthew 1:20.
@ smh you dont get it… Jesus Said “Before Abraham was born “I AM”” do you know what that means???
Are you suggesting God appeared before Jacob as a man and once again as Jesus a baby by Mary to become the ChristMessiah? I haven't heard this before.
Jesus Christ is the answer brother, i love this Bible passage.
I love how you explain scripture brother ! It is inspiring to say the least .

That is why we mortals can never comprehend God, being the mighty one, he can manifest himself to we mortals in many ways to show us his might. I had been also disturbed by this verse and thought how could God wrestle with a mear man, was prepared food and ate then he was called an Angel, I thought to myself it was impossible but now I perceive it, If God cannot reveal himself in any form as he pleases, the he isn't God and he does this for those with Faith to indeed he is God.
He revealed Himself as El Shaddai to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. but to Moses He said THE Divine Name (HASHEM is Hebrew for it) “I AM THAT I AM”. or YHWH
This is exactly what came to me. He cannot be contained. As soon as this thought came, my curiosity and all these questions, evaporated and I felt content. Cos I actually came to UA-cam searching for the meaning to a man wrestling with God. I couldn't comprehend it cos to me God is too great, too powerful but that was actually my little brain putting God into certain container which I can comprehend. Thank you Holy Spirit.
You are a blessing Sam. Thank you for explaining this. I get chills every time Jesus appears in the Old Testament.

It literally says this was NOT God and it is an angel. It says it black and white in Hosea that it is an angel. What in the world is this video showing except how what they have taught you is a lie? He's trying to prove something from the very verse that disproves it. Amazing!
@@nothingbutthetruth613 Then why would Jacob say "It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared” (Genesis 32:30, NIV)?. Hogan explains why it is Jesus, " . He also say's for you have striven with God and have prevailed? Catch that from minute 12
@@Dankioko Because it doesn't say that. You think he saw God's face? You think he fought with God and won? Does that really make any sense to you? The word is elohim and this does not mean God. It means power or might and could be referring to many different beings or people including judges, royalty, and angels. He fought with an angel and he prevailed and he saw the angel face to face.

The Angel of The Lord never rebuked those for worship of Him. There was always a distinction between angels and The Angel of The Lord. Just because He could have destroyed Jacob doesn't mean He wanted to. Like a father who wrestles thier kids and let's them win to build confidence.
@@JD-gw3fp how could you say it's like a father let his kids win when the Hebrew text explicitly says he COULD NOT prevail him? The simple meaning of "could not" means simple like that he COULD NOT prevail! Beside this, if it was like a father who let his kids win why did Damage the Socket of Jacob's hip?? Is this what a father does??.... was jacob like a small kid who was looking for some "Confidence" to show up that he's a "Strong guy"?....
@nathankupczyk3125 Do you always read the text plain? Was that my opinion in the form of an analogy? Yes. But regardless a regular angel could have destroyed Jacob. God, could have destroyed Jacob, but did not? Why wrestle? Is there something deeper to the text? This was not a mere angel, and even Jacob said it was God. You saying Elohim does not defeat my argument. What is the context of this verse is the question you should ask yourself. Elohim can mean one thing and then mean something different somewhere else. This was Christ preincarnet that embodied a man to wrestle with Jacob.
Also the disjoint was probably a reminder of that day. Jacob is Israel, and Israel wrestled with God throughout thier rise and falls.

Wow that verse in Hosea 12 clears up the whole thing. Thanks
The Angel of the Lord is also the one that appeared to Moses in the burning bush, the one named I AM, as well Michael the archangel that fought the dragon before the Earth was created (Rev), the one mentioned 3 times by Daniel, the one that fought Satan for the body of Moses, and the one named Israel, who gives Jacob his name.
Jude tells us that Michael was sent by God to deal in some way with the body of Moses, which God Himself had buried after Moses’ death...
Michael =/= God i fear to tell you.
@@rubemartur8239 Jesus , the Son of God, is Michael the archangel in his role as the leader of all the angelic host. The Bible also describes Him as defending the angel Gabriel when he battled "the King of Tyre" (see Daniel) who is really Satan. When Jude describes Michael contending with Satan for the body of Moses, it shows you that Michael (The Angel of The Lord) is more powerful that the devil because He is God. Confusing? God is a consuming fire and not even the angels who are holy can stand in front of Him directly, so God sent His Son, who is also God, with a purposely lowered majesty/brightness, so he wont consume His creatures.
@@GD-qn7xo at Jude 1, Michael dont refer itself as God/Lord, even refered Lord in Third Verb tense, not First Verb tense, when directing to Satan. Why Michael couldnt cast something at Satan by itself, If its Him? Michael seems to not dare to do anything without Lord's commands.
Remember, Jesus never incarnated, He was Spirit, He didnt made Himself Flesh yet, only the Flesh is human, species of creature, but He as God, inst creature in Spirit, He had Power and Authority. creatures in His services don't move an inch without Authority given. But Jesus has ALL Authority in the universe, being Spirit in the old testment. This Michael doesnt show that, but made itself hesitant in showing the jugdment that would wait Satan, instead, It left it to Lord.
This contradics the fact Jesus has Authority to cast jugdment over cities in the Gospels, being Truly Man and Truly God, same Essence of Father, and will even cast jugdment in "That Day". This archangel, however, left it to Lord, in Jude 1, as If It wasnt of its business, but only to defend Moses' body.
Having hole of leadership is something Lord give also to creatures, Just like Jesus said to Pilate.
This Idea of archangel is matter of hierarchy amoung angels, amoung creatures.
Jesus while a person in spirit, in the Eternity, always existed. The angels or any other angelical creature didnt.
@@rubemartur8239 - You may want to check the angel Gabriel's conversation with Daniel the prophet, please remember that at this time Gabriel had already replaced Lucifer (Satan) as the covering angel.
Dan 10:21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
You also want to see what famous Bible commentator John Gill says:
"Yet Michael the archangel,.... By whom is meant, not a created angel, but an eternal one, the Lord Jesus Christ; as appears from his name Michael, which signifies, "who is as God": and who is as God, or like unto him, but the Son of God, who is equal with God? and from his character as the archangel, or Prince of angels,..."

How does it make any sense that "God" cannot Prevail a man and "God" asked a man Permission to go?..... the Hebrew text doesn't Necessarily say "God" it says ELOHIM/El which doesn't always mean "God," the Definition of these words means "mighty" which could be angels, so jacob Is wrestledwith an angel, not with God.
Your message is incredibly important.. the philosophical approach is enjoyable.. boarders language and culture define a people.. your program discusses the culture I'm interested in.. keep up the good work..

Getting goosebumps watching this
SAM! I hope you read this, thank you for displaying Christ like characteristics, and teach lessons through Christ, it’s a heavy burden to deal with any religion as it may seem , but, people like myself are soldiers of christ! I am a trinitarian , and read my bible everyday!!! Your passion, as well as Jay, GodLogic, PC , and many others have made me tune in and learn more intellectual knowledge about Christ and our word. Thank you Sam!

@bisitaatsaya2035 a lot of comments? Really? Show me where I was refuted without getting back the answer?..,.,.
Thank You Brother 🙏❤️
JEHOSHUA wrestled with Jacob❤❤❤
GOD bless you Sam.amen
It's wrestling the Spirit of God inside. We are the Kingdom divided. A good you. A bad you. He turned back to the King of KINGS and Lord of LORDS 🙏
Exodus 33:20
And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live
Some people may think Jacob didn’t wrestle God because of what God Told Moses on mount Sinai
But Jacob did die after he got his blessing he was named Israel
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
I think this is and example of being born again and spiritual transformation
Yahweh Sabbaoth.
Thank you Sam.. 😊
Beautiful
I think you are in love with your God and highly excited about Truth and knowledge of God. Blessings.
Amen teacher!
Fascinating!
God bless you 🙏
Jesus transfiguration in the New Testament is a display of his ability to transform from God to man.
The Right Hand of God...Jesus Christ
Your vessel, your brain, is not aware of the consciousness within you. Instead, it is your consciousness that perceives and controls the vessel-your body and brain. This perspective highlights the distinction between the mind and the physical body, suggesting that awareness transcends the material, with consciousness being the guiding force. It's a profound reflection on the nature of existence, implying that the mind observes and interacts with the body rather than being confined by it.
very good explanation
Well, done, Sam

Yeah, Amen! 🎉❤
I am so blessed with the Church that Jesus has established. Hallowed be Thy name.
I saw on the comments the ongoing debates: both the Jews and Christians are sincere and polite while trying to prove their standpoints. I appreciate & applause both sides.
Starting here I am trying to answer questions in the long discussions:
Now I see why the Jews struggle to accept Trinity, and what they have been taught that Elohim can mean strength, not always God. But that doesn't change the point: Jacob said "I have seen God face to face yet my life has been delivered." It doesn't make sense to apply this sentence if it was an angel. But the argument from Jews are from Hosea, where malakh (angel) is used. But the Christians have no problem with it, because in Exodus too, there is the angel that bears God's name, who forgives sins, and had to be obeyed. Remember that Trinity doctrine is one nature of God and three hypostasis. It is not contained as number: one plus one equals two. But metaphysics: infinity + infinity = infinity, or even infinity / 3 = infinity. So yeah, YHWH, its living Word, and its living Spirit. Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. In order for human to perceive Him, He needs to appear in some kind of forms: burning bush, light silent sound, pillar of fire, dove, Jesus, and sure an angel. What other form to meet Jacob face to face and wrestle with him.
Question was asked by our Jewish brothers why worshipping Jesus, look at Israelites whorshipping calf in Exodus was so wrong even though they thought its God:
remember that the Israelites just came out from Egypt the pagan nation, where one of their pagan gods is Api - a bull deity. They still wanted the old way of worship, old way of living. At the same time it is an attempt to contain & control God to do human will. (I made you god, you do my will). When Moses obediently come to God, Israelites forces God to come to their presence into golden calf to guide them.
Lastly, I saw a Jewish brother pointing that all Christian becomes one because of emotion: struggle with life, troubles, etc.
Amen, thankyou brother, thats is exactly what Jesus said Luke 5:31-32
[31] Jesus said to them in reply, “Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do. [32] I have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners.”
I plan on buying the Bible and the verses and Psalms and other texts in book form.
Great idea! It's always good to have the printed books...in case the digital versions "disappear!"
@@ValerieGriner yeah the KJV version as well as the NIV versions
Boooom🎉 sam you are unique Christian by knowledge ❤
That is the most brilliant explanation of Jacob's wrestle I have ever heard. Interesting, those who follow Judaism call the angel Esau. As an agnostic,Sam really explains in detail.
How does it make any sense that "God" cannot Prevail a man and "God" asked a man Permission to go?..... the Hebrew text doesn't Necessarily say "God" it says ELOHIM/El which doesn't always mean "God," the Definition of these words means "mighty" which could be angels, so jacob Is wrestledwith an angel, not with God. Those who follow Judaism are saying this was the prince (guardian angel) of Esau.
@@nathankupczyk3125 Not sure what you are saying, do you see Esau in this description? Sam clearly interprets that God can manifest himself as an angel. . Take another example in Exod.23:20-22. Who is this angel? My name is within him. Obey him,for he will not forgive your transgressions. No other angel in the hebrew scriptures is spoken of this way. Read the bible for what it says and try to understand it and not for what others tell you it says.
@@baldeagle-cq2jl rabbinic Commentaries are not always based on the Description. However, you're free not to accept, that's not the point. Sam could "Clearly" interpret, but like I said the Hebrew text doesn't say God manifested as an angel. If I would accept that the angel wrestling With Jacob was god, it's also what others tell me it says, right?....
Regarding exudes 23, I'm just trying to understand. Obviously God forgive Transgressions, if the angel doesn't forgive transgressions how could he be God? According to Christianity that the angel is Jesus, how could this angel be Jesus? So Jesus doesn't forgive sin?...
Judaism calls the angel Esau?? Where do you get that from and what does that even mean?
Peniel/Pineal. As within so too with out, God can be found through the Pineal. ❤
*halleluyah*
The Angel of the Lord. Is the Word of God. Our Lord Jesus Christ before he became a man. Its the only way to make since of the scriptures. Praise the Name of the Lord.
I read this part in the bible, and it felt immediately different to the sections before and after. I have no idea what was happening.
Sam this is your ministry(Ministry of helps) excel in it and you will be blessed
What about the 3 Angels who stopped at Abraham' tent?
Surah 34:57 and the prophet of Allah said when you finish eating dont wash your hand ,instead lick your fingers because you dont know the part of food where Allah's blessing is hidden 😅
Melchizedek: "Before Abraham was, I AM"
This is a foreshadowing of the people of Israel. God will not let them go until they know Jesus
Thank you
Gen 32:29 'Then He said, "From now on you will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have fought with GOD and with men and you have conquered." GOD = 'The Word.' + Hosea 12:4-5. - ' and in his masculine strength he contended with God. He fought with the angel and overcame.'
"previously the name of the city had been Luz." Interestingly, "Luz" means "light" in Spanish. How does a Spanish word appear in reference to a city in Israel dating back to 1652-1505 BC?
"Luz" in the Bible means almonds (H3868), also separation or turn aside, and departure (H3869) (Hebrew). As almonds, they were abundant there in Bethel during those times. And almonds talk about God being "watchful" of His word to be performed hastily.
As "separation" and "departure" prophetically means Jacob is going to separate ways with his brother Esau and to depart from being just a "Jacob" (in hot pursuit of God, "stalker") to become an "overcomer" (Israel, one who rules with God and with men).
It’s a coincidence. Luz is not “light” in Hebrew.
12:04 I don't think men(plural for man) was referring to God as a man but rather Laban and Esau(men) or maybe it also includes god as man and served as a final test for Jacob to fulfill the part where he has sufficiently striven with men for his name to be Israel. I cannot think it means all men, otherwise it would roughly translate as "all men" or "man".
John 10:34-35 (KJV) Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
