“We even recognized cultural-historical elements referred to in Josephus or the Mishnah that the New Testament alludes to concerning Messianic expectations. Among these would be the belief that the Messiah would tell them what to do with the stones of the defiled altar stacked in Solomon’s Portico and that He would tell them this instruction at the time of Hanukkah. No one could fathom that because He made Himself equal with God, people supposedly awaiting the Messiah would pick up stones to kill Him at Hanukkah as in John 10.”

“Following this encounter he is left alone after battling until the end of the night during a time of peril in crisis where he fears utter extermination of himself and his descendants at the hand of his brother Esau, the patriarch of the Arab nations. Dramatically and ironically, however, in his encounter with his brother, what he expected as confrontation becomes reconciliation in Genesis 33:10 where once again Jacob sees the face of God in his brother Esau. The prophetic typology of these events foreshadow the reconciliation in Christ which will eschatologically take place between Jew and Arab once both are transformed by Christ.”

“The cardinal tenet of understanding the Resurrection and Harpazo of the Church is the Body of Christ and that what happened to Him will happen to us as His Body.”
