The meeting that Jacob has dreaded for twenty years can no longer be avoided. He must come face to face with his estranged brother Esau. Esau had ever reason to be rightfully angry having been so deceived all those years ago through Jacob's scheming.
As Jacob nears the Promised Land Esau is coming to intercept him with 400 men and Jacob fears Esau intends to take violent retribution against Jacob and his family. Jacob has done all he can to prepare and most importantly of all the previous night he had encountered the Lord at Peniel and received His grace.
Now Jacob is ready to meet Esau but the question is still will Esau accept him or attack him?
