With regard to the remarkable oath, "Truly the hand upon the throne of Yah! Henceforth "Amalek" became the popular term for Jew-hater. Modern critics have seen in the genealogy of Amalek a mere indication that Amalek was closely allied to the Edomites, but very inferior in power to them compare the lowly station of Timna, merely a concubine.
In Judges, vi. Winckler's view "Gesch. Israels," p. He considers, for example, Judges, iii. Thus he comes to the conclusion that "probably the nation of Amalek rests on a mythological idea. The territory ascribed to Amalek in I Sam. If Havilah is the same land mentioned in Gen. It would embrace the land of the Midianites and other "sons of the East," but would hardly leave room for Edom.
Therefore, the modern commentators either understand here another Havilah, or they change the text. So, e. Certainly, Amalek appears elsewhere always as an insignificant robber nation, and the same correction seems necessary also in I Sam. The first European or idumean, people to be civilized. What is it good for? I have a question. When did any of you go into slavery and be oppressed for years to consider yourselves Israel???
I will ask that one question for now, being there are many others. But please, with accuracy and truth, answer that for me. Thank you. Have a good one. Forever, love your name. And mostly because of your love for our Father Yhwh who is love and the spirit of love comes from the heart, not the flesh. Even as the mashiach said to Nicodemus, the flesh profits nothing; the Spirit is profitable for ALL things.
Thanks for the information. What I found interesting was the notion that even Jewish leaders maybe infused with this evil and therefore Amalek. I think that certainly speaks to the current leader of Israel. I only pray that one day Israel obtains leaders worthy to lead that nation and that way is only through peace and love and learning to turn a cheek.
Here in Canada we just got rid of our evil. Ah — another Jew hater. Oh, Yawn. The current leader of Israel is an amazing man and the Jewish people are blessed to have him.
The nation of Israel and its people have turned all four cheeks — and still more is demanded of them. God bless Israel and its people. And the battle between Good and Evil continues in spite of ignorance, unfounded hatred and prejudice. There is still hope for Canada — and America will resolved its hideous, leaderless and horrifically damaging presidential void this coming November.
The One will most definitely bring His true people back into Israel when the time of the gentiles be fulfilled. Gentiles are the ones who currently trample over Jerusalem, not Hebrews.
True Hebrews are still scattered to the four corners and are in exile, as per The Word. It seems like many on this comment board need to go back to bible study without the racial bias film over their eyes and the white supremacy cotton balls stuffing their ears.
Once back in The Promised Land, we will ensure that the Word of Yah is being obeyed by all nations and the world, indeed, will be a better place once the saints rule the world. Wow so if Israel had completely eradicated the Amalakites…then the hollocoast might never of happened. It appears the Ashkenazis are the actual Amalakites. They lived in the country of Khazaria next to Russia. They were such a disgusting paganistic bunch that the king of Russia demanded they convert to Christianity or Judism.
This was in the s AD. They chose Judism. Hence began to spread out thru Europe but many remained near Russia and Germany. They created their own language called Yiddish. These jews are converts not true jews. The fake jews are those in banking, rulers of nearly every country, writers of history, war mongers, killers of millions of Christians….
The elite or blue blood infiltrated with illegitimate births also descended from the Black Nobility or Counsel Of Venice….. They are in parliaments, Congress, TV anchors, progressives, communists, socialists, college professors….
Israel today consists mainly of these fake jews. We even have to pay these fake jews a tax on every food item purchased from the grocery store…. Many of the present jews have no idea they are fake jews…. Many practice their faith with no ill intent.
Many are more evil than our minds can conceive…. This has always been the practice. Therefore whether the fake jew brutal Saudi princes or the despicable North Korean nut every arena has been compromised by these rulers of darkness. More confused now than before i came here trying to understand whoe the amalekites of today are. Just looking for the hardest thing to find…. Richard, I have always from my very first thoughts as a young child-now almost have wanted and sought that same thing, TRUTH.
O yes and shalom to you in your asking, seeking and knocking. I find this thread very problematic. Sennacherib mixed up the nations Talmud Berachot 28a so we do not know who Amalek is today — so we cannot fulfill the command to blot out Amalek by killing people, which is something to be thankful for.
To then go and identify various nations today with Amalek is contrary to the teaching and also dangerous because of where it might lead — namely to unsanctioned genocide. I agree with you. The world is caught in a whirlwind of caos and deception. It feels like our nation has been brainwashed. It brings to mind 1 Corinthians Chapter1 verse Also yossi wanted to say thay in my studies on the 7 evil spirits based on deutoronomy amalekites seems to be missing.
I just so happened to be watching ester and there was haman the agagite a decedent oh amalek. Amalek a decendant of Esau the Edomite. Seems that amalek is often hidden or like to hide like a snake. I knew for some strange feeling have a bad feeling about donald trump for the jews. I know obama was horrible but trumps lineage goes back to the germans the amalekites. I will keep praying for Jerusalem and my true nation of israels it want by coincidence that i stumbled on this well hidden enemy spirit.
I am thankful for brothers like you who bring a great light in the darkness. May Yahweh keep you continuelly and bless you always and your family. I would just like to know where are the Amalekites today? Are they living near Mt Seir? I atree with you whole-heartedly. I see you have done ur homework! Look at what. Is going on in the news today. Who is behind ut all? Also, german, Neanderthals have nothing directly to do with Amalek. But someone can descend from both and look just like one or the other or a combo.
Yossi Thanks for this message. I am a christian and according to my bible in Exodus 16, God sworn that he will battle the Amalekite generation to generation. I strongly believe that the descendants of Amalekites who had migrated to many nations of the world and had taken over leadership of these countries like Hitler, Sadam Hussien, Gadafi and group like Hamas and today ISIL who are geared towards destruction of God work are the true Amalekites.
Am so strengthened by this scripture because I know God will defeat them no matter how they try. Thanks for this interesting article.
I am a Christian, and a proponent of Israel. I believe the Amalekites are present in all nations. They represent a generic group of people who are haters of God, who have vowed to hinder His work and annihilate His people. They are bent on installing God-hating, abominable governments all over the world. They promote abominable practices like the gay movement, the despicable acts in marriage, disobedience to constituted authorities and other practices that will cause God to turn His back, and deliver the nations that He ones loved to the hands of their enemies.
The Amalekites are bent on destroying the civilization and freedom that gave them sanctuaries from tyranny in their own countries.
But the Amalekites are beneficial in some ways. They will make Israel to go back to God; they will slap the western nations into their senses so they will go back to the God of Abraham, of Isaac, of Jacob: God who has made us great.
If that is the job of the Amalekites, then let them come up like a flood before their final and full destruction! Amalek lived south of Judea Arab. Migrated in the main to Ancient Iran. Migrated from there to Germany.
Genetics shows this to be true. The question still remains:who are the modern-day Amalekites? All I can deduce from the above exposition is that it is an admixture of conjecture,analogies and more guesswork. More questions than answers,q. What does Amalek look like: They often but not always have low-IQs with pulled back skulls cuz God froze them in a caricature of perpetually inflated pride. They have little puffy lips like Hitler, often have sort of feeble teeth and bow legs.
They have translucent to dark skin and always a dull blank face with dull blank eyes. They share a homeland with Hitler — though they may have left their beloved homeland before Hitler was born. A large number were religious or former religious protestants from the more backward protestant denominations. One would think go would not choose the Orcs over the Elves, that seems more like a Satan kinda choice. I am Catholic but have started reading the old testament in the bible. As far fetched as it may sound without offending but with an open mind the God in the old testament and his desires sound no different than the types of saints or gods and goddesses in Santeria with desires for sacrifices and altars and complete submission etc.
Versus the new testament where jesus gave himself as a human blood sacrifice to free the Jews and ppl from this God. The God jesus preached about was not the jealous wrathful God from the old testament. Just reading the Genesis and Exodus alone they give account to some kind of powerful intelligent supernatural entity which definitely could just be another superior race of beings from outside the dome of the earth.
Regardless of what tribe whether Amalek Canaanites Hittities, Israelites etc they all came from adam and eve and one should question why would god create and then have them fight amongst eachother and try to make one superior over eachother.
Why should God test Abraham to kill Isaac to see if he is really faithful. I think the greater picture is regardless if you feel Jesus was a messiah, a prophet or just a wiseman etc He spoke of the energy of love that exist in every human heart is what connects us to the God that everyday protects us and loves us.
Which is quite a different energy of the God that asked them to make unto him golden arks and to stone oxen to death. We should really read between the lines, ask ourselves why should any of us ask for he destruction of any tribe if we are all one. Exactly Wayne. What a difference it would have made today. Had Saul followed the orders of G-d there would have been no Amalakites to worry about today and Hitler could not have killed millions of Jews and Christians.
We must remember here, that Satan introduced into Gods Good created world of mankind, a G-d and mankind hating being. They were called Giants in Scripture. These were Giants born to women upon the earth, were born or taken from these women of earth before their normal 9 months duration of birthing time. These offspring Gibber? Through such pernicious activity, MBC has established itself as the modern-day Amalek.
How will Jews respond? Have an opinion about this opinion? Let us know what your view is. Letter To The Editor. Here is the full text of the original letter. We have encountered such predation- singling out the stragglers with the ranks of the Jewish people for attack- before, in the Bible.
It is headed by Senior Pastor Lon Solomon, a proud meshumad. MBC is extremely pro-active in regional efforts to proselytize Jews, including on college campuses. Esau, on the other hand, comes across as bumbling and oafish, a hungry animal-like teenager who makes bad decisions. At no point, however, does the Bible apply a moral judgment to either of the twins. They act very much like people. We get no clear moral judgment out of this story—though we do find a caution about trying to make the world work out the way we think God intends it to be.
The prophecy is ambiguous, the words in Hebrew unclear. As the plot develops, we readers decide who will serve whom—as Esau and Jacob jostle with each other, fighting for their own version of the prophecy, scrambling for a future in which one beats the other. We are like Rebecca, deciding and plotting which brother will win. And Jacob knows the course this usually takes: inheritance, lineage, power, a name.
He is bent on fulfilling this single purpose. The breaking point for Esau and Jacob comes when their father is on his deathbed. In addition to passing down the birthright, Isaac will place a blessing on each of his children. Bless me, too, father! Isaac places his hand on Esau and tells him these are the only words left for him:. See, away from the fatness of the earth shall your home be, and away from the dew of heaven on high.
By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; but when you break loose, you shall break his yoke from your neck. Esau pledges to kill his twin in retaliation. These two lives will not be separated. They weave in and out, bearing the consequences of the past while being drawn toward one another. After exile and separation, Esau and Jacob are reunited. Jacob sees his brother again, as if for the first time.
Jacob has discovered the truth of the God he encountered at Bethel, making a way between heaven and earth; the God who wrestled him to the ground and marked him for life.
Jacob cannot undo all the violence he inflicted upon his brother, but he gives what he can: a replica of the gifts of the birthright inheritance intended by their father. The blessing intended for Esau is repaid. We may read this passage as a story about winners and losers, the chosen and the rejected. But all along God is there in the ruins, showing these brothers that there is enough for all: enough blessing, enough love, enough of everything.
God does this in such a way as to work toward restoration. We could follow these words to our own devastation, but even then God is in the business of turning all things toward good. Maybe Jacob and Rebecca were wrong. Jacob spends the rest of his life undoing the wrong he has done; he gives back what he stole from Esau. God turns us around, back toward redemption. God sets things right—not just in the end, but all along the way, even when the terms we set for good and evil bring about disaster.
From the progeny of Jacob and Esau arise the allies and enemies that dot the stories of the Old Testament. When the call comes to blot out the memory of Amalek, it is not a call to destroy an outsider. This is an internal struggle, a working out of enmity within a people. It nags at us, reminding us that these, too, are our brothers.
