Amalek is a type of the flesh, and with flesh God can make no terms. In it dwells no good thing (Rom. 7:18); the sin that is inherent in it was divinely condemned in the sacrifice of Christ (Rom. 8:3); and Christians are viewed as having for themselves, “crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts” (Gal. 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 (Col. 3:5-9).
