ASK DOC: ARE THE PALESTINIANS THE AMALEKITES OF THE BIBLE?

2026-04-06 — RickWilesToday — original

A growing claim insists that modern Palestinians are the biblical Amalekites—and that Old Testament commands against Amalek still apply today. But does Scripture support that?

In this episode, we examine the text carefully—tracing Amalek’s origin, the historical nature of God’s judgment, and the complete absence of any biblical link to modern populations. More importantly, we confront a deeper issue: the misuse of Old Covenant warfare in a New Covenant world.

This study moves step-by-step through Scripture to expose:

The fixed genealogical identity of Amalek
The historical and covenant-bound nature of their judgment
The disappearance of Amalek from the biblical record
The New Testament’s clear rejection of ethnic hostility
The theological error of applying ancient judgments to modern conflicts

The result is unmistakable: this popular claim is not rooted in Scripture. If we are going to speak where the Bible speaks, we must also refuse to speak where it is silent.
