He is a vastly different man here from the person we have come to know in previous chapters. The preoccupation which obsesses Jacob is the necessity of facing his brother Esau, from whom he has deceptively obtained the birthright and the blessing of his father. While the results were consistent with the revealed will of God, the means employed were not pleasing to Him. The result was a \u201cbrother offended\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">When Jacob had left Canaan for Paddan-aram, his mother had told him that he would only need to be gone for \u201ca few days\u201d (27:44), and then, when Esau\u2019s anger had cooled, she would send for him (27:45). Twenty years had passed and, so far as we are told, he had never heard from his mother. That must have led Jacob to conclude that Esau still harbored a grudge against him. Jacob thus had good reason to fear a confrontation with his brother. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Then Jacob made a vow, saying, \u201cIf God will be with me and will keep me on this journey that I take, and will give me food to eat and garments to wear, and I return to my father\u2019s house in safety, then the LORD will be my God. And this stone, which I have set up as a pillar, will be God\u2019s house; and of all that Thou dost give me I will surely give a tenth to Thee\u201d (<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><span lang=\"zxx\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Genesis 28:20-22<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">To me, this was a bargain with God. In return for God\u2019s presence, protection, and provision, Jacob would let God be his God. Of all that God gave to him in the form of wealth, Jacob would return ten percent. In effect, Jacob has made God his agent and offered Him the normal fee. What a far cry from what a man\u2019s response to the living God should be!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">All of Jacob\u2019s deceitful practices which we have seen over the years of his life are the result of a fundamental misconception. Jacob felt that spiritual blessings were to be secured by carnal methods and means. Jacob rightly believed that God had promised to make him, not Esau, the heir of promise with the rights of the first-born. He valued this blessing while Esau despised it. What he did not yet know was that he did not have to connive and scheme in order to obtain the promised blessings of God. The encounter which Jacob will have with the Angel of Jehovah will correct this error and will instruct Jacob as to how and why spiritual blessings must be obtained through spiritual means. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"western\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Genesis 32:24-32<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Supplant &#8211; to supersede (another) especially by force or treachery <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Esau could neither provide nor prevent the blessing of God. It was not Esau that stood in the way of Jacob\u2019s blessing in the land of Canaan. On the one hand, it was God Who opposed him. On the other, it was Jacob himself, who by means of his trickery and treachery, his cunning and deceit attempted to produce spiritual blessings through carnal means. The blessing of God must be obtained from God himself, and this must be done by clinging to Him in helpless dependence, not by trying to manipulate Him. That is the picture which is conveyed by this struggle in the night hours between Jacob and his God. A realization of this fact brought about a dramatic change in the character and conduct of Jacob, and thus his name was changed to reflect this transformation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The Angel of the Lord asked his name, and he had to reply, \u201cJacob,\u201d which meant \u201cthe supplanter.\u201d This must have been as uncomfortable for Jacob as it was for childless Abraham to refer to himself by his name, which meant \u201cfather of a multitude.\u201d No longer should Jacob be known as a supplanter, for now he was a man who prospered because of his faith in the purposes and power of his God, and so the name Israel was given him.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><span lang=\"zxx\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Genesis 32<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0emphatically instructed Jacob that the Christian life is a spiritual warfare. That is why we see so much emphasis upon angels. Angels met him when he entered the land. An Angel opposed him when he attempted to cross the Jabbok. The blessings which God promised Jacob were spiritual blessings, and spiritual blessings cannot be obtained through fleshly means. If Jacob\u2019s life in Canaan were to receive God\u2019s blessings, Jacob must learn to wage spiritual warfare. He must realize that his major obstacle is not his brother, but his God. Once God is with us, victory is certain. Since our God is a sovereign God, no one can resist His will\u2014not Esau, not Pharaoh, not Assyria, Babylon nor Rome. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Ephesians 6:12<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"en-KJV-29350\"><\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>12\u00a0<\/b>For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"western\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>2 Corinthians 10:3-4<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><a name=\"en-KJV-28975\"><\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>3\u00a0<\/b>For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"en-KJV-28976\"><\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>4\u00a0<\/b>(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Genesis 32\u00a0is the pivotal chapter so far as Jacob\u2019s life is concerned.
