One curious but very vital point to remember is that Jacob wanted to ask God was of his personal name. God refused. Instead God blessed him there. " And he blessed him there./And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." This knowledge is our inheritance. It begins while in our vile bodies. "the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."Seeing face to face is not for man formed of the dust from the ground can . Jesus speaks of the cloud of witnesses standing in the Presence of God. "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven."(Matt.18:10)
Inheritors of saints in light abide in Christ. Their volume has as the holy city of God reveals:"And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel."(Re.21:12) These names are new as befitting the name of the city is New Jerusalem
Coming back to Jacob calls the place Peniel, a new name. It is thus New Jerusalem, is indicative of new creation.
