Genesis 32:30. So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
After wrestling with an angel all night, Jacob experiences being “caught up” by the Spirit.
My Life is preserved =Nephesh Natsal.
Natsal literally means to be snatched up and carried away from danger.
The Lord Our Deliverer gives us this assurance.
John 10. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
When the scribes translated Genesis 32:30 into Greek in the Septuagint, ‘my life is preserved’ is rendered sozo ego psuche. In apostolic writings, this expression is most likely rendered as ‘saved my soul’.
To come face to face with God is to ‘experience’ salvation and remission from sin.
Luke 1:77. To give ‘knowledge of salvation’ to His people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God, with which the Dayspring from on high has visited us; to give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
