Is Iran Amalek? Is Netanyahu a Liar? Is Franklin Graham a Fake?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly called the enemies of modern Israel “Amalek.” He has done so regarding Hamas and he has done so regarding Iran.

And in a recent prayer at the White House, modern Israel lover Franklin Graham prayed a prayer that included the following words: (Quote) “Father, you tell us in the book of Esther that the Persians, the Iranians were wanting to kill every Jew woman, child and do it all in one day but you raised up Esther to save the Jewish people… Today the Iranians, the wicked regime of this government wants to kill every Jew and destroy them with an atomic fire. But you have raised up President Trump. You’ve raised him up for such a time as this and, Father, we pray that you’ll give him victory.” (End quote)

It is hard to imagine the prophets of Baal in ancient Israel praying a more dishonest, hypocritical, and vain prayer than this one by Franklin Graham. It is also hard to imagine them getting richer by their groveling, man-pleasing than Franklin and his father Billy.

In the previously cited prayer, Graham erroneously informed God that in the Book of Esther the Persians/Iranians were wanting to kill every Jew. Graham falsely equated Haman the Agagite, one man within the Persian court, with the Persians as a people.

It cannot even be known for sure if Haman was a descendant of the Amalekite king Agag (from 1 Samuel chapter 15). Even if Haman was a descendant of Agag, the plot to destroy the Jews in the Book of Esther was Haman’s. It was not the plot of the people of Persia. The Book of Esther demonstrates that the Persian king and the Persian people overall did not endorse the plan to destroy the Jews. Moreover, the Persian king was the one who squashed the plan once he was properly informed of it through Esther. The Book of Esther even shows that the people of Persia overall were not on board with the plan and were glad that it was not followed through on. Moreover, it even shows how many in the Persian Empire were converted to the true God as a result of the plan being stopped.

Is there even any way to know for sure who the physical descendants of Amalek now are anyways? No.

Therefore, there is 1) No basis to say that the Persians/Iranians were plotting to kill the Jews in the Book of Esther and 2) No basis to say that the people of Iran or anyone now is a physical descendant of the Amalekites in the Bible.

These things mean that Benjamin Netanyahu is a liar and Franklin Graham is a religious pawn of corrupt politicians- along with every other so-called spiritual leader who said Amen to his sanctimonious and false prayer at the White House.

The Prophet Daniel was actually a high ranking official within the Persian Government. The Persian king Cyrus was the one who decreed that Jerusalem and the Temple be rebuilt after they had been destroyed by the Babylonians 70 years earlier. It is also very possible that the Wise Men who came to Jesus were Persians- possibly even natural and spiritual descendants of people who had been converted to the true God through the events recorded in the Books of Daniel and Esther.

Some who acknowledge that no one can be properly identified as a physical descendant of Amalek might refer to some as modern Amalekites in a spiritual sense. Okay. Then don’t leave out the people of modern Israel when you talk about that. Overall, they’re such heathens that they’ll accuse their enemies of being what they are themselves to the max.

Supporters of modern Israel commonly disregard that the Lord Himself destroyed countless Jews throughout the Old Testament in judgment because He counted many as wicked and rejected them. He put many in the category of the worshipers of the Golden Calf and the prophets of Baal who were destroyed at Mount Carmel rather than in the category of people like Moses, Elijah, Esther, and Daniel. Supporters of modern Israel also disregard that the righteous among the Jewish people became followers of the Jewish Messiah Jesus Christ. It is irresponsible to equate modern Judaism with the faithful Judaism of the Old Testament; and to equate those who practice it with the faithful people in the Old Testament.

The people who killed the righteous prophets and directly rejected the Messiah in Biblical times were not Persians. If you’re going to be connecting modern people to heinous acts in the Bible, it would be utterly hypocritical to not point first and foremost to those people- the very people that Franklin Graham and the other religious pawns who frequent the White House ultimately serve instead of Jesus Christ. They attempt to justify and sanctify their murders, thefts, and other crimes. They dupe the public into believing that America has a moral obligation to send its troops to fight and die to aid those people in their hateful and covetous endeavors. It is extremely wicked. And to those who really know what the Bible actually says and don’t lie about that, it is also complete nonsense.
