A man, which is Christ, wrestles with Jacob with the object of blessing Jacob. When it is over, Jacob will be reduced to a beggar who in his weakness clings to Christ begging his blessing. Christ's strength is made perfect in our weakness. When it is over God has prevailed and Jacob (Israel) is blessed and he prevails as a prince with God, because he now leans upon Christ his strength and power with God (Hosea 12:3).
