The ancient term "Amalek" made the news cycle at the start of the Israel-Hamas War when the Israeli government used this phrase as a rallying call for the ground assault on Gaza.
The original expression came from Deuteronomy chapter 25, verses 17 to 19, "Remember what Amalek did to you on the way when you came out of Egypt, how he confronted you on the way and attacked among you all the stragglers at your rear when you were tired and weary; and he did not fear God. So it shall come about, when the Lord your God has given you rest from all your surrounding enemies in the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance to possess, that you shall wipe out the mention of the name Amalek from under heaven; you must not forget."
This video will give you the context of the event leading up to the verse. We will review all the encounters between the Israelites and the Amalekites described in Deuteronomy 25.
While the tribe of Amalek died out long ago, the "Spirit of Amalek" lives on in other forms. Stick to the end of the video for our take on where we see the Spirit of Amalek in recent history and questionable types of modern Christian theology.
