Exodus 17:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 17:14

12 But Moses’ hands became¹ heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

13 So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

14 Then the Lord said to Moses, ^a“Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that ^bI will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.”

15 And Moses built an altar and called its name,¹ The-Lord-Is-My-Banner;

16 for he said, “Because¹ the Lord has ^asworn: the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

Exodus 17:14-16

They had to prop Moses' hands up with the help of Aaron and Hur to make sure that Israel would continue to prevail. Remember they were not trained in war. They needed the intervention of God. Listen to God's reaction to what happened in this episode.

That is quite a curse! God will go to war with this people from generation to generation because they attacked Israel when they were least able to defend themselves.

Exodus 17:8-16

Brethren, right here is the first use of banner under which we must conduct our fight together against the real enemy who is stirring up all the devious attacks against us. It is not by our might and strength that we will overcome, but in carrying out our responsibilities in the place God has put us to support one another in unity with our arms raised under God, who is our banner.
