will not leave you until I have done what I have 
spoken to you (Gen. 28:13-15).
 
When Jacob awoke he said: Surely the Lord is in this 
place, and I did not know it. He was awed by the fact that the 
Lord had established an open heaven over that spot. He named 
the place Bethel meaning “House of God.” 
The Lord appeared to Jacob many years later in a 
dream. Jacob at that time was married with many children and 
had worked for his uncle Laban for 20 years. Laban had de-
ceived Jacob in wages and withheld his pay but the Lord 
blessed Jacob exceedingly. The Lord spoke to Jacob in a dream 
to leave his uncle taking his own wives, children and flocks. 
And He said, “Lift up your eyes now and see all 
the rams which leap on the flocks are streaked, 
speckled, and gray spotted; for I have seen all 
that Laban is doing to you. I am the God of Be-
thel, where you anointed the pillar, and where 
you made a vow to Me. Now arise, and get out of 
this land, and return to the land of your fam-
ily” (Gen. 31:12,13). 
Jacob then left with his two wives, children and ani-
mals. Laban pursued Jacob but received a warning dream be-
fore he overtook his nephew. He was warned not to speak good 
or bad concerning Jacob when he met him during his flight 
(Gen. 31:24).
The Lord protected Jacob on his return and his life was 
changed by an encounter and struggle with an angel. He was 
then renamed Israel. Jacob made many mistakes in his life, but 
because of covenant promises to his grandfather Abraham, the 
Lord’s blessing and care was a constant reality in his life. We

too, are covered by covenant promises when we confess our 
sins and obey what He has told us to do. His desire is to bless 
us.
