The name Israel means "man joined to God through revelation." From the beginning, God has been revealing Himself to humanity. Adam and Eve, Noah, and Abraham were all part of this process. Jacob’s family became the nation of Israel, chosen to teach the world about God’s promises. Ultimately, Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of Israel, revealing God fully and uniting all people with Him through His life and work. | The name Israel means "man joined to God through revelation."
