Name 'Face of God' where Jacob wrestled with a 'man'. He saw God face to face, with reference to the presence of God, figuratively, an angel of the Lord.
"And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of dawnI will not let thee go, except thou bless me (Ge.32:24-26)."
Often there are certain events in our lives that define us. For a child of God the day he accepted Jesus Christ as his Saviour Lord. That point of time is similar to how Jacob fared in Peniel.
Similarly when we make certain of our salvation by confession we have defined what we are. We are the children of promise. God's promise to Abraham has come to us through His Son. The same God, the same promise. There was nothing accidental about events however ordinary it might seem, before or after.
God let Jacob bring out his natural passions and inclinations that are human in his natural environment, but as a child of promise he had another aspect: there was a day of reckoning with God. "Be prepared to meet thy God".( Amos 4:12) It is to make one aware of God's claim, which in terms of theology is called Predestination. (2 Co.5:10)
