Yisrael is the name God gives Jacob after their nighttime struggle — “for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.” The new name becomes the name of the people: the twelve tribes of Israel.

Through this people God’s saving plan moves forward — bringing the Messiah for the blessing of every nation. The New Testament also speaks of an “Israel of God” that includes everyone who shares Abraham’s faith.
