"Jacob “had power over the Angel, and prevailed.” Hosea 12:4 . Through humiliation, repentance, and self- surrender, this sinful, erring mortal prevailed with the Majesty of heaven. He had fastened his trembling grasp upon the promises of God, and the heart of Infinite Love could not turn away the sinner's plea. PP 197.1"
"Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Beth–el, and there he spake with us;"
Ellen White directly references Hosea 12:4 in this passage.
"And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed."
EGW directly quotes Hosea 12:4 and Genesis 32:28 in reference to Jacob's experience. The passage directly uses the verse to support her point.
"The error that had led to Jacob's sin in obtaining the birthright by fraud was now clearly set before him. He had not trusted God's promises, but had sought by his own efforts to bring about that which God would have accomplished in His own time and way. As an evidence that he had been forgiven, his name was changed from one that was a reminder of his sin, to one that commemorated his victory. “Thy name,” said the Angel, “shall be called no more Jacob [the supplanter], but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.” PP 197.2"
"And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed."
EGW directly quotes Genesis 32:28 and provides commentary on its meaning within the context of Jacob's story. This is a clear and direct allusion.
