Some things I cannot explain . I don't feel good this morning, and for some reason the Story of Jacob wrestling with God is on my Mind in an oppressive way . Yesterday I wrote that God's JOB is to do NOTHING . There's the Notion that God set things in motion and that's "IT" . We've been taught that God "gave" us "Free Will" and this Free Will came at a fucking HUGE Cost , Life Itself . The Argument against That is Strong --- The Flood, various Plagues, Pandemics and the like, ALL of "Natural Causes" , and some would Argue ---> "Divine Intervention" . I "wrestle" with this Shit, maybe THAT'S why the Story of Jacob wrestling with God arrived . What kind of EGO must I possess if >I< consider myself as Jacob ???????
The Story of Jacob wrestling with God is found in Genesis 32 : 22-32 , and it is both perplexing and bewildering . The now Famous "Some Guy" appears out of nowhere and begins to wrestle with Jacob throughout the night and stops when dawn arrives . This "Man" tells Jacob his birth name is GONE that his new name is "Israel" . Jacob wrestled, instead of Fought, and wrestled while demanding this UNKNOWN HOSTILE "Bless" him . If you're like me if some guy grabs me and begins to wrestle it ain't likely that I'll ask him to Bless me . Moses is quite the Story-Teller .
