Description

For Parshas VaYishlach we wish to understand why Yaakov was afraid of the men of Esau since Yaakov had already received a Divine promise of protection. Only a נבואה לרעה can be recinded; a prophecy for good MUST come true. Of these two categories of Prophecy, Yaakov's was clearly for the good, so why should Yaakov have any doubts about the fulfillment of this promise.
