After Jacob wrestles with a mysterious stranger at the Jabbok river , Jacob says, “I have seen God face to face” (Genesis 32:22–32). Later still, Hosea (12:4) identifies Jacob’s opponent as an angel.

The signs of God are mysterious and may be more evident upon later reflection than at the moment they appear.
