**Picture contest**

Anyone who can tell me the name of the man this angel is fighting?
What is the story behind the drawing? What is the moral of the story?

An easy 30 000 for whoever answers first! smile  

[real eyes realize]

Well, I don't think it's an angel but doesn't this refer to Genesis 32:22-32 where Jacob wrestles with God? and then God changes his name to Israel. As for the moral of the story, I don't think the bible gives us just one. Obviously, humans like to wrestle against god and each other, but we need to make amends with both. Secondly, make amends with your enemies/fellow man without letting the day pass (the earlier the better). Thirdly, you must overcome against man (flesh) even if you get hurt in the process; YHWH's blessing is worth it, don't give up until you receive it. Nothing matters more (the day was about to start, the cares of life might get in the way, but there is Jacob dealing with something spiritual before dawn).

S-she's fast. D: Yesterday, I was thinking of the same picture (Have one as my desktop photo, HA!) Yes it's Jacob wrestling with a Host of God (Angel: Seraphim? I think they and Cherubs are the only one's with wings, but that's besides the point). It's a good picture of how we wrestle with the flesh and the spirit of the Lord of the most High. smile

Anyways,

I snoozed. I lose. X)

EDIT: I tried thinking up some tests and it came off boring like school. This though is better option, brother. Maybe break it down to daily quizzes and weekly tests? smile @ Mr. Green

Weekly testes would be awesome. Not always I am able to be online long enough to come up with one (make one), but I will consider doing one more regularly. As crew members you are free to organize quizzes or tests when you want. If I see you do this I would put the links for the contests in the daily announcements.
Thank you for your input brother! mrgreen
