Show Notes
In today’s episode, we look at the spiritual significance of the battle between Israel and Amalek in the wilderness. This moment in Exodus isn’t just historical—it’s a picture of the lifelong battle between the believer and the flesh. The Amalekites represent the flesh in Scripture, and just like them, the flesh must be dealt with completely or it will rise again.
