What's in a name? In our culture, names are just labels, completely divorced from their original meanings, when they're not just made-up noises. But that's not how the ancient Hebrews thought of names. More importantly, it's not God's way. The name is the man. Jacob may have thought of himself as a usurper, but God saw him as His own representative on earth.
We must all discover who we are in God's Kingdom. We wrestle all our lives to learn our own names. When the wrestler calls Jacob "Israel", Jacob finally sees himself for who he really is in God's plan. Only when we accept ourselves for who God knows us to be can we achieve all we're meant to. When we fight with God and His plan, we fight against ourselves.

In my most recent video I identify the Hidden Jubilee Year of Ezekiel 40:1. I then use astro-archeology of Babylonian Tablet VAT 4956 and synchronize the BC Year of the tablet to the biblical history of Jeremiah 52:28 & 29 to date the Babylonian Captivityand the later destruction of the temple and Jerusalem. I then use the BC years of Jeremeiah 52:28 & 29 to solve the BC Year of the Hidden Jubilee Year of Ezekiel 40:1. Knowing one BC Year you can know them all and restore the entire Jubilee timeline! Best Regards, I hope it blesses you! #jubilee2024
When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him.
Genesis 32:25
The hip or thigh (Hebrew: yarek) is connected to the making and breaking of covenants (Genesis 24:2-9, 47:29; Numbers 5:27) and the making and breaking of pride (Judges 15:8, Psalm 45:3, Jeremiah 31:19)
Perhaps the wounding of Jacob's hip was the end of his pride and the start of his real power in Abraham's covenant with God.
