Jacob’s encounter with God

God also speaks to people through visions and dreams. Jacob was someone to whom God appeared in a dream. But that was not the only way God appeared to Jacob. There was a time God appeared to him in the form of a man. Jacob wrestled with the man all night. He did not know that, that was God. Only when the man spoke and identified himself, did  Jacob realise that the person he had been speaking to and wrestling with God himself.

After that wrestling match, God blessed Jacob because Jacob had wrestled with God and man and succeeded. God told Jacob, ‘Your name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.’
