Amalek.

This is coolbert:

"Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim." - Exodus 17:8

 Think at this exact moment in time not the Islamic State 2017 but rather Hamas 2023.

"Military Intelligence Analyst Identifies ISIS as Ancient Nemesis Amalek"

From https://www.israel365news.com | BIBLICAL NEWS | article by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz | APRIL 27, 2017.

"The violent, ongoing conflict between Egypt and the Islamic State currently raging in the Sinai is a reenactment of the Biblical confrontation between Israel and Amalek, even taking place on the same battlefield, pointed out a military analyst who has turned to the Bible to make sense of current events."

"Exodus tells of the legendary battle between Amalek, the ancestral enemy of the Jewish people, and the Israelites, which took place in a place called Rephidim, located in the Egyptian desert."

"Two thousand years later, a new battle against Israel’s enemies is being staged in exactly the same place: an Egyptian airfield in Bir Gafgafa, which is located precisely on the Biblical site of Rephidim in the Sinai Peninsula."

More than likely greater than three-thousand years ago and not two-thousand!

"The connection was made, surprisingly, by Debka Files, an Israeli military intelligence website. Giora Shamis, the editor of the website, immediately saw the Biblical context as the framework for understanding a situation that pits ISIS-affiliated fighters against Egypt"

Bir Gafgafa a considerable distance from Gaza. Amalek seen in historical terms both literally and figuratively as the eternal enemy of the Hebrews. Perpetual warfare of everlasting adversaries, yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever?
