Genesis 32:13-34:31 Jacob wrestling

Genesis 32:13-34:31


I think that the context shows that this is one of the Christotheophanies , the OT manifestation of the Son of God in angelic form. The name being "wonderfu", Jacob calls it Peniel, to reduce it to mere angelic intervention is a loss for reveling in the glorious person of the Eternal Son of God, God manifest in the flesh who in prophetic language said --my delights were with the Sons of Men!
