Let's take another look -
Genesis 32:31 - And Jacob named the place Peniel, for [he said,] "I saw an angel face to face, and my soul was saved."
No reference to "a right to enter heaven" here.
What kind of "power"? Jacob wrestled with an angel and after the wrestle was glad he survived. It doesn't say anything about "looking at an angel and dying" you made that up.
I guess you don't believe in the whole bible as again, Hosea specifically states Jacob wrestled with an angel, so why should we not believe him?
"I saw an angel face to face,and my soul was saved".I do not deny that Jacob wrestled,he says it himself.But let's look at the word "saw" and "face to face".Why doesn't Jacob put the emphasis on wrestling? but on seeing an angel "face to face",he is clearly glad that he survived looking at this being,it's almost like he should have died just by looking at it,he is not glad that he won the battle but he is glad his soul was saved despite looking at it face to face,Am I wrong?
"Hosea specifically states Jacob wrestled with an angel" but you said that the word in hebrew in that particular genesis verse is Elohim which means GOD.
