Israel’s name meant “God Prevails,” which indicate who really won when Israel wrestled with the Divine Angel of the Lord. There were however instances that A was trying too hard to put Christ into the text such as the account of Jacob wrestling in the dark was described by A as foreshadowing Christ’s agony in the darkness of Gethsemane. He also wrote that “the theocratic ・・・・,” but also add that “its sanctions are spiritual, not physical.” I would say the theocratic laws of Israel is for the state and not the church, and that they are not “spiritual,” if by spiritual A means “non-physical,” since there can not be any such thing as a non-spiritual law if it’s coming from God.
