Who was Amalek, and why did God command Israel to blot out his remembrance? Amalek in the Bible is directly connected to Esau and Edom, and Scripture records a specific reason for God’s judgment.

Why does God single out Edom in prophecy, and what does it reveal about the future of Zion? The answers may reshape how you view one of the Bible's most enduring controversies.
