The Meaning of Amalek

Amalek is a type of the flesh, and with flesh God can make no terms. In it dwells no good thing (Romans 7:18); the sin that is inherent in it was divinely condemned in the sacrifice of Christ (Romans 8:3); and Christians are viewed as having for themselves, “crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts” (Galatians 5:24), which means that they have accepted the sentence of God against the evil thing. Nothing remains but to be unsparing with all its workings day by day (Colossians 3:5-9).
