Every casual bible reader knows that the Philistines were the archetypal enemies of Israel, but what fewer know is what eventually happened to the Philistines.

Well, at the very least I didn’t know until very recently.

Let me explain…

This episode digs deeper into “wenisar” (meaning ‘But He Who Remains’) in Zechariah 9:7.

“I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. I will take away the blood from his mouth,And the abominations from between his teeth. But he who remains, even he shall be for our God, and shall be like a leader in Judah, and Ekron like a Jebusite.” (NIV)

Zechariah 9:7 – ז והסרתי דמיו מפיו ושקציו מבין שניו ונשאר גם הוא לאלהינו והיה
