Angel # 8 Time to Go

This angel episode was likewise addressed in the Dream section of my blogs.

Jacob may or may not have had a dream of an angel telling him it was time to go. The reason I say it is in question is because there is so much deceit and trickery in this family at this time. Jacob wanted to go home and it was a convenient time to go because his Uncle was away. Jacob no doubt felt that he could not leave with his Uncle knowing because his Uncle would not have let him or his daughters go. So he left when his Uncle was away.

Jacob may have received a dream at that time, or he may have received a dream before that time but was waiting for the right moment to tell his wives. He may also have felt unsure about his wives' willingness to go and therefore needed the dream to help force them to leave their dad's place.

Whatever the story may have been, it worked. The wives decided it was ok to leave their dad without him even knowing.
