It is not a simple process because before one can cross, unknown dangers may have to be faced and terrifying battles fought. This is what Jacob discovered.

Ancient tales had it that rivers had spirits which had to be defeated before the river could be crossed.

The Bible maakes it plain that we must become mature. We are not to be like the Hebrew Christians who remained at the same place they started.
