ACTS 13. VERY INTERESTING. Seems here a blend of Contemporay Theological Constructs are at work. Are They?

Acts 13. David is mentioned As being found. In The Historical Narrative Then Messiah is brought Forth And Comprehensiby Explained As His Heir and Savior. The Jews Are warned Exorted and Edified To A great Enough extent Next Sabboath Nearly The whole city Assembled to Hear The Word of The lord.

Here Pauls let loose A little And Grants Their stubborness HAS finally Got To Him.

Interesting part; a couple nuonces Occur to me. 1. Pauls (perhaps personal?) Conclusion That The Heirs of promise were willfully Acting Decididly Against Their own Inheritance, made Him grant That he Would Walk in God’s pretty Much Yet Misunderstood Hidden Council and Fullfill The prophesy Of THEMSELVES OF GOING TO THE GENTILES…. So, In Response it Says Here,.. It Say’s of the Gentiles; AND AS Many as were Appointed unto eternal Life Believed. .. Case For Calvinism, Or .. Greater illumination of forknowledge? .. VS11-49.

Is God still at war with Amalek?

After they are defeated by the Israelites at Rephidim, God promises unending judgement on Amalek in Exodus 17:

¹⁴Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” ¹⁵And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord Is My Banner, ¹⁶saying, “A hand upon the throne of the Lord! The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.” _{_ESV}

The reason for the judgement and the form of the judgement are given in slightly more detail in Deuteronomy 25:

¹⁷“Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you came out of Egypt, ¹⁸how he attacked you on the way when you were faint and weary, and cut off your tail, those who were lagging behind you, and he did not fear God. ¹⁹Therefore when the Lord your God has given you rest from all your enemies around you, in the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess, you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget. _{_ESV}

What I find difficult to understand is how ‘the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation’ if their memory has been blotted out from under heaven. Am I missing the Hebrew idiom here? Is one or other of the statements not to be taken literally, and if so, which one?
