TORAH
Jacob sends two groups of gifts to got to Esau before he meets him. This shows Jacob is afraid.
God face to face? I thought we cannot see God face to face. Is this a contradiction? No, because the Hebrew word for face means punim (character.) Jacob was in contact with God's character which can easily be reflected on an angel or a per-incarnate Yeshua as we saw last time with Melchizedek and the angel that appeared to Abraham during the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The angel that wrestles with Jacob, refrains from using his powers until the last second. If the angle had used his power, Jacob would have died immediately, because no one can stand against God's powers. God is testing Jacob and giving him a chance. He was just trying to stop Jacob from running away from his destiny, but when with a broken hip, Jacob wouldn’t give in.
Jacob wrestling with the angel is a physical manifestation of his entire life. Struggling means we are not trusting YHVH to do what He said.
Jacob wins because he repents and humbles himself. It was fear of death at the hand of his brother Esau that brought him on his knees finally.
The hip is the strongest muscle in the body. It is a symbol of authority in Hebrew culture. Jacob was used to own authority and doing things his way. He finally comes to a place where he needs help and cannot do this alone. His whole family is at risk.
After the angel with a small burst of power, broke Jacob's hip, he from now on walked with a limp all his life, but he never stood stronger. Jacob gives up his authority and became the patriarch of all Israel.
When Jacob wrestles with the angel he asks for his name. Contrast to Samson's dad in Judges 13:17-18. Names reveal function. Receiving it reveals too much information about the entity.
"Manoah said to Yahweh’s angel, “What is your name, that when your words happen, we may honor you?” Yahweh’s angel said to him, “Why do you ask about my name, since it is wonderful?”
Jacob gets nervous and divides his group to 2 parts (Ephraim and Judah.) He is ensuring the survival of his people Israel. God divorces the Northern Kingdom (Ephraim) on purpose, to ensure by hiding them in the earth realm the enemy will not be able to have access to them. The identity of His people will be lost if the enemy had access, and so their identity can be untraveled in the earth realm,with the increase of spiritual gifts.
Jacob sends out 3 groups of sheep (reference to Ya'Yeztze, when 3 sheep drank at the well.)
Esau ran, kissed Jacob and cried just as he did when he first meet Rachel at the well. Shows fleshly and worldly nature
In the end of 20 years of Tribulation, will Esau (Muslims) stop fighting Israel?
Jacob gives the blessing back to Esau by coming close to him (face to face, punim to punim.)
Sukkot comes from the place Sucoth where Jacob (Israel) puts up tents (booths).
Dinah is not a mother of the 12 Tribes of Israel because she went and assimilated herself in the Canaanite Nephilim culture.
The Nephilim took Dinah, and Jacob's 11 sons told them to be circumcised, tricked them and killed them all and looted their city.
"you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, with all that is therein and its livestock, with the edge of the sword." Deuteronomy 13:15.
However, the commandment dose not say to spoil yourself because that is getting caught up in the flesh. Achan's example is classic, you can easily snare yourself with the evil you are commanded to wipe up.
"And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment (Nimrod's cursed Golden Fleece), and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it." Joshua 7:20-21
In Jacob's trouble, Esau will oppress Jacob.
When Jacob cried out to God, he fulfilled when Israel in the Tribulation will cry out to God and He will deliver them.
"By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you shall shake his yoke from off your neck.” Genesis 27:40.
Genesis 35:5 is talking about the Greater Exodus?
"And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob."
The terror of God will be on all the cities around the scattered Israelites and no one will chase them in the first half of the Exodus.
We are not told that Rebecca dies in the whole of the Torah, yet we are told that her nurse dies.
"But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor."
Galatians 3:25 says that once you have faith, the schoolmaster (nurse) that teaches the Law, leaves (or dies). Dose that mean we do not do what the schoolmaster says? Of course not! It is like forgetting how to read and do 2+2 in primary school. It will be insane to forget what is in our hearts. Jacob finally comes to faith in Christ (who is the Torah) and Rebecca's nurse dies. Parallel.
As soon as Jacob's name was changed, he got a new revelation from God. Adding onto the Abrahamic Covenant. He says i will make you a church of the Gentile nations (foreshadowing the dispersion of the Northern Kingdom and the mission of the Apostles.)
Benjamin or Benoim means "son of suffering or right hand (Yeshua)", because Rachel dies giving birth to him, and was buried in Bethlehem (House of bread and birth place of Yeshua.)
Jacob is called Israel when he is operating in the spirit.
The Hyksos come from the Nephilim Amalek, who comes from Timna, from Eliphaz, from Adan, from Esau.
Seir the Horite (cave dwelling giants) is called "shaggy" and "goat like". He is a satyr. His kids are Nephilim that live in Edom.
Jobab is Job. He lived in the land of Uz near Edom. Job became great like a king. Uz is a daughter of Edom.

| The Kandahar Giant is believed to be a descendent of the Horites. Stories from that region in Afghanistan says that giant tribes dwelled in caves. |
One of Job's friends is Eliphaz, the brother of Esau's son, which makes Esau Job's great grandfather or great uncle. Basemath (Canannite, Nephilim) would be Job's great grandmother.
Job would be a Canaanite then, but more human and a righteous man.
Esau's 400 men were Horites (giants). Wonder why Jacob was so scared.
In Jasher, it took 4 camps of angels to quench Esau's hate for Jacob, but he still hid the hatred in him.
The satyr that Zephro killed is a Horite, which are mountain welling Nephilim. It was a child of Seir the Satyr.
Esau's kiss was not completely genuine. Esau's decisions separated him from the house of Isaac and Jacob. Frienemies.
Arab means mixed (feet with iron and clay). Esau married Hebrews, Hittites (Nephilim), Hivites (Nephilim), Ishmaelites and Egyptians!
Hyksos empire (from Amalek) was an expansion of the Edomite Kingdom.
Genesis 36 talks about the early Hyksos kings. Job was an influence on the Hyksos/Edomites!
Jacob asks to bury the pagan customs and replace it with Godly practises.
After the 20 year time of trouble, Jacob sets up booths, which means we will celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles in the Millennium.
The custom Israel does not eat the joint on the hips of animals is amazing. The Native American Indian tribes that do not eat the hip muscle of the deer. Cherokee Indians are Hebrews, because many Native Americans were part of the dispersed Israelites from the Northern Kingdom of Ephraim. they do not eat the hip of the deer because it commemorates Jacob wrestling with the angel. It is important because limping means that one can no longer go faster. It means you have to rely upon something for support. Limping means you are willing to slow down to let others go before you. Jacob's lesson was too not run too far ahead of God and to not trust in his own understanding.

PROPHETS AND NEW TESTAMENT
If we look at prophecy, the Hebrew word for violence is the same word used for the Islamic State terrorists. (Edom.)
We should not rejoice at Edom (Islam's) destruction, because they are our brethren.
YHVH still calls Ephraim in the nations as His people. But they do not recognise it or accept His offering because they believe they already have enough worldly things. Like Esau, Ephraim thinks they are not with sin and satisfied, but God says they are not.
We judge not in the flesh, but in the spirit.
Paul speaks about the celebrating the Feast of Unleavened bread.
We are to be purged of leaven (sin) as Jacob was when he was wrestling with YHVH.
We do not judge the wicked or the unsaved, but to bring them back on path, God will do that. We have to do this to brothers that are sinning so we can help them.
We need to worship in love, spirit and in truth. People worship in spirit and choice/lies.
Should be doing leaven bread hunts instead of Easter egg hunts.
We must learn to not judge the unsaved and the wicked because we were once unsaved and lost just like them. We should help them and turn back a lost brother or sister with reconciliation. Just as Esau supposedly showed to Jacob.
Trails and tribulations makes us stronger in faith and on our walk with Him. Jacob (Israel, us) went through so much loss and struggle for 20 years, which in the end changed him forever into the true person he was meant to be. We need to rejoice when YHVH sends trails because He is sculpting us for our inheritance.
Shalom
