THE AMALEK MYSTERY & THE IRANIAN WAR
Monday, June 1, 2026
“Shalom, to you my Friend and Co-Minister in the Great Commission…
Could there be an ancient mystery behind the war in Iran that began on the last day of February of this year? This is not to speak of strategy, risks, outcomes, etc. in the natural, but of something far beyond such things and behind it all.
When the Israelites came out of Egypt, they were attacked by Amalek or the Amalekites. With God’s help, Israel prevailed. At the end of the war, it was written that the Lord will war against Amalek from generation to generation. Generations later, the Amalekites are again at war with Israel. King Saul was commanded by God to eliminate them. But, he decided instead, to spare their ruler, King Agag. Generations later a man rises to power in Persia, named Haman. The Bible identifies him as an Agagite, or a descendent of Agag. Haman will seek to destroy the Jewish people. And so, the war of Agag and Israel will go on as recorded in the Book of Esther. Haman’s plans will be overturned, and the Jewish people will be saved. Thus, the holiday of Purim.
What does this have to do with the war in Iran of this year? The nation of Haman, Persia-today is called by a different name, Iran. As Purim speaks of a Persian leader with plans to bring about the destruction of the Israelites, so now again a Persian leader, the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, and his associate leaders planned the destruction of the Israelites and pursued nuclear weapons to do so.
But as with Haman, death would come to the Ayatollah. When did it happen? It all began on the weekend that ushered in the Festival of Purim! It was not only that, but the very day that the war began and the Supreme Leader was executed, was a special Sabbath. It was decreed in ages past, that on that day two special Scriptures were to be read. One of them is from Exodus, the account of the first war of Israel and Amalek, and where God promises He will war against Amalek in every generation. And the other was the command of God to execute the evil king of the Amalekites. Saul refused. But on February 28, 2026, the very day that the Scripture was recited around the world, it came to pass, and an evil king was executed.
The God of the Bible is alive and well, seated on the throne. He is the Almighty. And He will defend His people-and that means you! This month, live in the knowledge and confidence that the Almighty is for you and with you! And may God greatly bless you as you do!”

Comment:
I just don’t understand why Trump did not use the Kurdish forces to wipe out the Iran Revolutionary Guard (IRG). As I have noted before, the Christian remnant in Iran has been one of the fastest growing churches in the world, if not the very fastest. So, we leave Iran under the control of “Amalek” once again., while the people cry out for freedom.
I saw where Trump is calling countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar to join the Abraham accords. He even speculated that Iran would be included after an agreement is reached. Are you kidding me, leaving the IRG in control! The IRG are demonic Shiite Muslim apocalyptic maniacs, anticipating the return of the 12th Iman, with eager anticipation no less.
Joel Richardson wrote a book entitled : “The Mid-East Beast: The Scriptural Case for an Islamic Antichrist”, where he went against common end times interpretation. The common interpretation has been that the ten nations that rise up against Israel, just prior to the 2nd coming of Christ, come from Europe. Joel tears that interpretation on its head in my opinion. If it were a debate, Joel would win hands down in my opinion, it would be almost laughable.
So, the Bible says the Anti-Christ will make peace with Israel, then breaks that peace by attacking Israel in force. At that point, Jesus Christ returns, proclaiming: “Enough!” So, Joel’s Muslim nations that violate the peace agreement line up erringly with the prospective nations discussed as prospective signees to the Abraham accords.
So, please continue to pray for the Iranian christian remnant within the borders of Iran. Our LORD has the perfect plan. The best of men without God are mere men at best. Our mission: To reach out to lost souls within a closing window of opportunity.
Note – Check out my May 14th post, a link to a Christian Post sounding the “watchman” alarm of us: : “Tucker Carlson is dangerous for christians who listen to him.” In it, Tucker accuses Almighty God of the genocide of the Amalekites. (See 1 Samuel Chapter 15 – “Saul Rejected as King”). Why was Saul rejected?: Answer: He did not obey God’s command to destroy every single Amalekite, as well as livestock. Does not Revelation speak to the proliferation of “false prophets” during “end-times”?

Now, back to 1 Samuel, Chapter 15, let’s look at the verse and the commentary on the verse to 1 Samuel 15:3:
“Now go and attack the Amalekites and completely destroy everything they have. Do not spare them. Kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and donkeys.” 1 Samuel 15:3
Commentary:
“15:3 Why were the Israelites supposed to kill the Amelikites’ women, children, and infants? This passage is one of a handful in the OT where God explicitly ordered the Israelites to eliminate an entire population (see also Deuteronomy 7:2; 13:15; 20: 16-17; 25:19). For many people today these passages are the most troubling ones in the Bible. How could a loving God order His people to slaughter women and babies? The answer lies in the nature of God and His plans to rescue humanity. Being a perfectly just God, the. Lord cannot let sin go unpunished. Individuals who sin will die for their sins (see Ezekiel 18:4; Romans 6:23), though that death need not come about immediately following a sinful act, and may be averted altogether if the sinner turn from sin in time (Ezekiel 18:20-21). What is true of individuals is also true of groups that commit sinful acts (see Jonah 6: 3-6; Joel 2: 13-14). The problem with the few groups of individuals whom God ordered to be completely destroyed was that they had incorporated grave sins over a considerable period of time. The Amalekites, for example, had created a culture that had no qualms about killing frail Israelites and kidnapping children for the sake of material gain (Deuteronomy 25:171-8; see also Judges 6:3-6; 1 Samuel 14:48; 30: 1-3). Likewise, to be a Canaanite entailed being a supporter of a polytheistic religion that practiced child sacrifice, prostitution, bestiality, and homosexuality. These cultures had become spiritually gangrenous and had been that way for hundreds of years (see Genesis 15:16; Deuteronomy 25:17-18). Since they refused to change, the only way to keep their deadly influences from spreading to other societies was through the complete elimination of every object (Exodus 23:24; 34:13; Deuteronomy 7:5; 12:3; Judges 2:2) and person (Deuteronomy 7:2; Deut. 13:15; 20: 16-17) associated with them.
In summary, God ordered the violent elimination of the Amalekites and certain other social groups for two main reasons; as punishment for the accumulated sins of those societies (see Genesis 15;16; Leviticus 18: 24-25; Deuteronomy 9;5; 12:31) and the elimination of their influence on other societies (Exodus 23:33; Deuteronomy 7:4; 12: 30-31; 20; 17-18).”
