The Amalekites are renowned in the Bible as the first nation to attack the Israelites after the Exodus from Egypt. But where did this nation come from?

Genocide is WRONG. We should work together all of us to make PEACE.

[DrinkTheKoolAid]

It's strange how practically all the peoples the Israelites came in contact with ended up waging war with them. How'd that happen?

[Zoe-Swiss]

You forgot to mention that Esau had sold his birth right!! That's why Jacob got the blessing.

One point to be corrected is Haman in the book of Esther was an Agagite a descent of King Agag of the Amalekites. There were Amalekites in Persia. They were wiped out finally during the Purim.

✌I love how Pastor Gary tells a story! Thank you TIJ.

It was the mother who did it because their father was dying and could not see, but could feel. She put the sheep skin on Jacob to fool his father into thinking it was Essau. I always remember this story from a child, and I always thought about how wrong that was.

[jahservantgad]

How does present day Israeli government compared themselves to the ancient Israelites which was not Europeans or Ashkenazi Roman Jews... HOW COMES THE JEWS BECAME GENTILES?

[oregonfreebird]

Hmmm... The Amalekites existed during the time of Abraham in En-Mishpat also known as Kadesh Barnea. I wonder if the descendants of Esau are different from the ones mentioned in Gen 14:7

The one true God of the Bible does not promote genocide.

Ezekiel 36:5
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

(Revelation 2:9)
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

[Daniel-qcjd]

They are the people in ISRAEL today calling themselves Jews .

[georgeroberts]

Amelek is anyone who opposes Jewish Zionists . Cromwell declared the Irish Amelek, just as Netanyahoo has called Palestinians Amelek .

[serred]

I heard from a rabbi that talk about the Amalek as some kinds of evil spirit within you. But I guess, in Christianity this version is different. But it make me wonder why that one PM specifically mention the Bible despite being Jewish.

[nadanshastram]

The Amalekites' origin predates Abram by a significant margin. This fact is clearly revealed in Genesis 14(7-8).

[rahmasuryani]

I come after Netanyahu Israel PM said about Amalek rhetoric for genocide Palestinian
Where's Amalek now???
