Who was Israels father in the bible?

GOD The Father is Spiritually Israels Father, Jacob received The Name Israel after He Wrestled With Jehovah who was The Man in Chapter 32 verse 24 through 32. You see the very Name Jacob means Supplanter or Deceiver. Verse 27 says And HE (the Lord) said unto him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob. (Of course, the Lord already knew Jacob's name. So, why did He insist on Jacob pronouncing his name? He wanted Jacob to admit who and what he actually was, which the name Jacob adequately portrayed. True Faith requires that we admit what we are, before we can receive what He is!) Verse 28 says: And He (the Lord) said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob (meaning deceiver or or supplanter), but Israel (a Prince of God): for as a Prince have you power with God and with men, and have prevailed (as we shall see, Jacob's change was instant, but yet gradual). Physically it is Issac.
