== Hashem's War Against Amalek ==

The Torah states two things about this war:

The [[Torah]] states two things about this war:

# Hashem commands Moshe "You shall utterly erase the memory of Amalek." This mitzvah is one of the mitzvos dependent on Bnei Yisroel's entry into Eretz Yisroel, as the Rambam states: "Three mitzvos were commanded to Yisroel upon entering the land - to appoint a king, to destroy the seed of Amalek, and to build the Beis Hamikdash."

# Hashem commands [[Moshe Rabbeinu|Moshe]] "You shall utterly erase the memory of Amalek." This mitzvah is one of the mitzvos dependent on Bnei Yisroel's entry into Eretz Yisroel, as the Rambam states: "Three mitzvos were commanded to Yisroel upon entering the land - to appoint a king, to destroy the seed of Amalek, and to build the Beis Hamikdash."

# "Hashem swore that His name and throne would not be complete until the seed of Amalek is destroyed" ("For the hand is on the throne of Hashem, Hashem will have war with Amalek from generation to generation"), and in the Geulah when Melech HaMoshiach will erase the seed of Amalek, it is said: "On that day, Hashem will be One and His Name will be One."
