What Christians Should Know

In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal will pick up where he left off in May where he spoke about Jacob’s journey back home in Genesis 32. Recall that at this point in the biblical narrative, Jacob, his wives, and his children are heading back to Canaan. While Jacob was outside the Promised Land, the Lord multiplied him into a large family and protected him from harm, but now commands Jacob to return home. On the way, before Jacob confronts his older brother, Esau, Jacob came face to face with his Maker

Genesis 6:1-4 is not an easy text. Those verses talk about the "sons of God" as well as the Nephilim. In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal will provide answers to three questions based on Genesis 6. One, who are the sons of God: men or fallen angels? Two, does the book of Enoch shed light on the interpretation of Genesis 6?

Was it a mere physical wrestling match or something deeper? In this podcast, Dr. Sadaphal will exposit Genesis 32 and explain there are two ways to look at Jacob’s encounter with God.
