What does the Bible say about the war with Amalek?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that the Lord has sworn to have war with Amalek from generation to generation as a representation of the ongoing struggle between the flesh and the Spirit.
In Exodus 17:14-16, God declares His intention to have war with Amalek from generation to generation, setting the stage for understanding the conflict within every believer. Amalek symbolizes the old nature that fights against the spiritual life given to God's people. This continual battle reflects the tension that exists in the heart of every Christian, where the flesh (Amalek) and the Spirit are in opposition. The promise that God will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven assures believers that ultimate victory comes through Christ, who has already secured the victory on their behalf.
