but isn't that what the text prophesies, that the name will become unknown, blotted out except by God's words which are not to pass away??
Isn't it more than a little absurd for God to say he will completely blot out the memory of Amalek, record his words saying so and then give a relatively detailed history of that very same Amalek in the inerrant book he wrote?
If anything, this seems like a prophesy still waiting to be fulfilled. In order to blot out the memory of Amalek, God will necessarily have to blot out the memory of the bible (or at least do a little post-modern redacting), won't he? Sadly, I don't think he's managed to pull this one off just yet.

I think that's just another cool prophecy fulfilled.
Do you? That's interesting.

That may be, but at least your parents managed to inspire you to question things. They did a good job, it would appear.
