'' The Battle in the Valley''- (Exodus part 10)
In todayâs episode, we look at the spiritual significance of the battle between Israel and Amalek in the wilderness. This moment in Exodus isnât just historicalâitâs a picture of the lifelong battle between the believer and the flesh. The Amalekites represent the flesh in Scripture, and just like them, the flesh must be dealt with completely or it will rise again.

David likely wrote Psalm 124 after a great deliverance from God. Bro. Edward Reese places it after 1 Chronicles 28:11â21.

We, too, as New Testament believers, have experienced great deliveranceâour redemption through Jesus Christ.
David recognized that without God, Israel would have been overrun. Their survival was solely because of the Lord.
This psalm is a powerful reminder:
