He met Him there - DB

And he built there an altar, and called the place El-bethel: because there God appeared unto him. Gen. 35:7

Bethel means “the house of God.” Jacob called the place he was going Bethel because it was there he first met the Lord.

When he returned to Bethel, God appeared unto him and Jacob called the place El-bethel which means “The God of the house of God.” It was not the place Jacob sought, but the God he met there. 

Revival begins when we seek the Lord.
