Clarity or Death


The struggle between Jacob and the Angel serves as the paradigm, the blueprint and strategic plan, for Jewish history.  Each element of the encounter illustrates a reality which will forever dominate our destiny.

The angel represents Eisav then and perhaps the Christian world, perhaps the entire world, since then.
