This is because he was actually wrestling with an angel who was representing God. God used an angel who represented him. Exodus 23: 20-24 " “Behold, I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. “Be on your guard before him and obey his voice; do not be rebellious toward him, for he will not pardon your transgression, SINCE MY NAME IS IN HIM. “But if you truly OBEY HIS VOICE and DO ALL THAT I SAY, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. “For My angel will go before you and bring you in to the land of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will completely destroy them. “You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds; but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their sacred pillars in pieces." <br /><br />What is very interesting is that God spoke further of this angel at Isaiah 63:8-14. Please look this Scripture up. You will see that God said that this angel was "the angel of MY PRESENCE". At these passages, God also said that the angel was His "Holy Spirit" And also "My arm" <br /><br />So now we can understand why one angel (of the three) whom Abraham spoke with, said that his name was JEHOVAH (YHWH) He was an angel who was representing God and was on a mission from God to check out the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah. <br /><br />I found this information very interesting. Possibly, the Holy Spirit that resides in God's people could be Holy Angels that represent God and stand in for "God's presence" <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279384750418060450noreply@blogger.com
