Description

In this Bible study on Genesis 28-32, Les Feldick traces the pivotal journey of Jacob—from his flight to Haran as a deceiver to his wrestling match with God where he is transformed into "Israel." Discover why God continued to protect and bless Jacob even while he was in a state of unbelief, and how this perfectly pictures God’s unwavering covenant with the nation of Israel today. Les explains the significance of Jacob’s dream at Bethel, his complicated marriages to Leah and Rachel, and the dramatic encounter at Peniel where he wrestles with the pre-incarnate Christ. You will learn about the difference between the "natural" man (Jacob) and the "spiritual" man (Israel), the meaning of the "household gods" Rachel stole, and how God’s promises rely on His faithfulness, not our perfection. 00:00 – Introduction & Ministry Overview 00:48 – Genesis 28: God’s Promise to an Unbelieving Jacob 01:15 – Israel’s Protection: God’s Hand on a Secular Nation 03:36 – Jacob’s Obedience vs. Esau’s Rebellion 05:00 – The Dream at Bethel: A Stairway to Heaven 11:40 – Jacob in Haran: Marrying Leah and Rachel 19:40 – Escaping Laban & The Mystery of the Stolen Idols 23:40 – Wrestling with God: The Transformation from Jacob to Israel Thank you for watching this lesson from "Through the Bible with Les Feldick."
