Challenging deity is a staple in our origin stories. This story yields from Genesis. Jacob gets in a fight with an angel, gets his hip dislocated, and is told he has a new name: Israel. It would seem wrestling with the divine yielded the spiritual leadership of a nation, not a sinner.
Visual Cues: An aggressive red and blue reflect a mortal and divine fight, blending together with gold flashes and outlined in white, representing a spiritual purification taking place.
