Jacob Wrestles with God
22 The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and everything else that he had.
24 And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.
25 When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him.
26 Then he said, "Let me go, for the day has broken." But Jacob said, "I will not let you go unless you bless me."
27 And he said to him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Jacob."
28 Then he said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed."
29 Then Jacob asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask my name?" And there he blessed him.
30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, "For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered."*
There is no false god, only demons who control those who have succumbed to their promises. A person cannot overcome an angel of light, neither literally, metaphorically, nor in any other sense. But there is a subtle nuance here that interpreters often use to lead people away from the truth. The point is that the existence of dark angels is permitted by God, just like the existence of the three levels in our world. This is why the phrase "one who has overcome the Divine" is used.
While it is good that Jacob overcame a demon, but it is unlikely that Jacob would have asked for a blessing from a demon. One who overcomes a demon cannot be on the side of darkness and certainly would not seek its blessing. Some servants of religion, not only Jewish ones, could have distorted the story, slandering Jacob as they did with other righteous figures. For example, the name of Jesus was used by declaring him a god and it led the nations into worshipping multiple deities and idolatry. Therefore, one should not blindly trust stories simply because they are found in church books. Use spiritual discernment to separate distortions from the truth in the sacred texts - there are many invented "artifacts".
Now it will be explained why Jacob was able to defeat a demon. A person who possesses knowledge and certain sound frequencies is capable of overcoming demons in the underworld - not just in a spiritual sense, but also in a literal sense.
During the three years as I (Aslan Uarziaty - translator's note) was extracting the seven lampstands from the Book of God to fulfill His will, I had to confront demons in the otherworld that tried to stop me. When I revealed the last lampstand, the access of demons to the middle (our) world began to close. With the manifesting of the lampstands from the revealed book, a gradual shift from old to new frequencies began. As the two hexagons, the equilateral cross, the eight-pointed star, and the cube were manifested in the sacred tables (lampstands), these new frequencies started to permeate our world so intensely that the beings of the underworld could no longer remain in our realm, as they could not withstand the influence of the new frequencies.
