When will unrighteous Jacob be called Israel, the sons of the living God?

After being separated from his brother for more than 20 years, Jacob bowed down 7 times in humility and honor as he drew near to Esau who fell on Jacob's neck as they wept, Genesis 33:3-4.

Jacob who bowed down 7 times in honor before he met his older brother Esau after 20 years, represents 7 years of tribulation when Israel bow down in honor to their older brother Jesus for the first time in over 2,000 years, shortly before Christ returns as King of kings to save Israel at the end of tribulation, Zechariah 12, 9-10, 13:8-9, Matthew 23:39.

Since Jacob was fearful of meeting Esau he tried to appease his wrath by sending messengers ahead who brought Esau a gift of hundreds of animals, Genesis 32:9-21.

• 200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams
• 30 milking camels and their calves
• 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys and 10 male donkeys.

The total number of animals that Jacob gave to his brother is 550. And hidden within this number of animals is a possible clue for when a remnant of Israel will meet Jesus at the end of the tribulation.


In the first group of animals the number 200 appears, followed by 30 camels, then in the last group is a total of 80 animals, which mysteriously points to the year of 2038 when Israel will meet their older brother Jesus again for the first time in over 2,000 years.


Genesis 33:10 Jacob said, "No, please, if I have found favor in your sight, then accept my present (of these animals) from my hand. For I have seen your face, which is like seeing the face of God, and you have accepted me.

I believe Jacob's sacrificial offering of 550 animals to appease Esau's wrath is prophetic for when a humble remnant of Israel will come to Jesus with a sacrifice of a broken spirit and contrite heart, to be saved by God's grace, represented by the number 5, when they will see the face of God at the end of the tribulation in 2038, Psalms 51:17, Isaiah 57:15, 66:2.

In Genesis 33:5-6, Esau lifted up his eyes and saw Jacob's wives and children coming towards him, and when they drew near they also bowed down to him in humility and respect.


The children of Jacob who bowed down to Esau is symbolic for the descendants of Jacob, when a remnant of end-time Israel will humble themselves and give honor and glory to Jesus as their Lord and Savior at the end of the tribulation.

And Esau who lifted up his eyes when he saw Jacob's children drawing near is mentioned in Genesis 33:5, and 33+5 equals 38.

The story of Jacob struggling with God through the night when he was given the name Israel, is symbolic for when the unrighteous descendants of Jacob will struggle with Jesus through the night of the tribulation, when they will be called Israel, the sons of the living God through faith in Christ.

Genesis 32:24-30 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 (the Son of the living) God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered."


This end-time salvation event for Israel in 2038 is portrayed a second time in the story of Jacob who came to his son Joseph to be saved from the 7 years of famine in Egypt, when he embraced his son for the first time in over 20 years when Joseph fell on Israel's neck and wept, Genesis 46:29.
In Genesis 46:28-29, when Jacob was coming to meet Joseph in Egypt, the word Goshenah is used just two times in these verses that appear to be prophetic for Israel's salvation at the end of the tribulation.

'Goshenah' has the same gematria as 'Messiah' which is 358. Therefore Goshenah in these scriptures may be symbolic for the Kingdom of God.

Genesis 46:28, Judah was sent ahead to show the way for Jacob to come to Joseph in Goshenah (the kingdom of God).

The above verse I believe is prophetic for Jesus who came from the tribe of Judah 2,000 years ago to die on the cross and show the way for unrighteous Israel (Jacob) to enter the Kingdom of God (Goshenah) through faith in Christ's death and resurrection for their sins.

Goshen where Israel lived and was protected by God from the last 7 plagues of judgment for Egypt, is symbolic for God's protection for a faithful remnant of Israel in the 7 years of tribulation.

And Jacob who came to Joseph in Goshenah to be saved from 7 years of famine, is symbolic for a faithful remnant of Israel who will come to Jesus in the Kingdom of God to be saved from 7 years of tribulation judgment for unbelieving mankind.

In Genesis 46:29, Joseph who prepared his chariot to meet Israel in Goshenah, is symbolic for Jesus coming in the clouds with his saints to save a redeemed remnant of captive Israel at the end of the tribulation, Psalms 68:17-20, Isaiah 66:15-16, Jeremiah 4:11-13.

Psalms 68:17-18 The chariots of God are twice ten thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary. (18) You ascended on high, leading a host of captives in your train and receiving gifts (of praise) among men, even among the rebellious, that the LORD God may dwell there.

Genesis 46:29 Then Joseph (a type for Jesus) prepared his chariot and went up to meet Israel his father in Goshen (the Kingdom of God). He presented himself to him and fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while.

As I said in Gen 46:28, Judah who prepared the way for Jacob to come to Joseph in Goshenah, is symbolic for Jesus who was sent 2,000 years ago to die on the cross and show the way for Jacob (unrighteous Israel) to enter the Kingdom of God by faith in Christ at the end of the tribulation.

Then in Gen 46:29, unrighteous Jacob who is now called Israel when Joseph fell on his neck as they wept in Goshenah (358), represents Israel's salvation by grace (5) at the end of the tribulation when they will meet Jesus their Messiah (358) in the Kingdom of God in 2038.

And this appears to be hidden in the gematria of 3(5)8 for Goshenah and Messiah that is only mentioned in these two scriptures.


The gematria of 3-5-8 for Goshenah and Messiah is similar to the numbers.38 and 5 that are also prophetic for the last year of the tribulation in 2038.

For example in John 4 and 5 there are 3 consecutive stories that mention the numbers.2 days (2,000 years), 7th hour, then 38 and 5 in John 5:5.

• In the first story Jesus staying with the half-Jewish half-Gentile Samaritans for 2 days who believe he is the Savior of the world, is prophetic for the 2,000 year gospel age to the Gentiles that began from the resurrection, John 4:1-42.
• In the second story a son who is healed from the point of death in the 7th hour, is symbolic for Israel's salvation from the point of death in the 7th year of the tribulation, John 4:43-54.
• Then in the third story a 38 year old crippled man under a 5 roofed colonnade who is miraculously healed by Jesus on the Sabbath, the 7th day, represents unrighteous Israel (Jacob) who is crippled in sin and unrighteousness that will be saved by God's grace (5) in the 7th year of tribulation in 2038, John 5:1-9.
• And this prophecy for when Israel is saved at the end of the tribulation is revealed by the numbers.2 days (2,000 years), 7th hour, 38 and 5.

I believe the words Goshenah and Messiah that have the same gematria of 3-5-8 when Jacob came to Joseph in Egypt to be saved from the 7 years of famine, is another mysterious clue for unrighteous Israel's salvation by grace (5), as they bow down to Jesus as their Messiah (358) when a faithful remnant will enter the Kingdom of God (Goshenah) in the 7th year of tribulation in 2038.
