GAZA and the Palestinian People DO NOT REPESENT THE PHILISTINES or AMALEKITES
Esther Chapter 7 King James Bible:
3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.

although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage."Countervaile" means to offset or compensate, so Esther is essentially saying that the enemy's actions cannot justify or make up for the harm this would cause to the kingdom.
5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.

Myrtle:
Strong's Number H1918 matches the Hebrew הֲדַס (hăḏas),
which occurs 6 times in 6 verses in the WLC Hebrew.
The term "hadas" refers to the myrtle tree, a fragrant evergreen shrub with dark green leaves and white flowers. In the Bible, it symbolizes peace, prosperity, and God's blessing. The myrtle is often associated with the restoration and renewal of Israel.

October 7th was an INSIDE JOB WAKE UP!
Just as we see the GREAT IRONY of Haman - the true Amalikite bloodline going back to Esau and the Nephlim (Ham's wife) . We will find that the Blood Thirsty ZIONISTS faking themselves as TRUE ISRAEL are going to get a shocking surprise.

References
For further reading and context, here are some scriptural references:
Haman's lineage: Esther 3:1, 1 Samuel 15:8-33, Genesis 36:12 KJB.
The conflict and resolution: The entire Book of Esther, with key chapters being Esther 3 (Haman's plot) and Esther 7 (Haman's downfall).
Haman, a key antagonist in the Book of Esther, is described as an "Agagite," which links him to King Agag of the Amalekites. The Amalekites were a nomadic tribe descended from Amalek, the grandson of Esau.
This connection is significant because King Saul was commanded by God to annihilate the Amalekites, including King Agag, as a divine judgment for their hostility toward Israel.
However, Saul disobeyed by sparing Agag and the best livestock, leading to God's rejection of Saul as king. Saul's disobedience resulted in the loss of his kingship, the departure of God's Spirit, and the eventual anointing of David as his successor.
Regarding the Amalekites' relation to modern-day Palestinians, there is no evidence to suggest a direct lineage.
The Amalekites were a distinct ancient group whose identity and culture have long disappeared.
Claims linking them to modern populations are speculative and not supported by historical or genetic evidence.
Zechariah 9:5-8 from the King James Version (KJV) and explore your question about whether this passage could be a future prophecy related to the Palestinian people today and what it might suggest about God’s divine plan. Here’s the text for reference:
Zechariah 9:5-8 (KJV):5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
8 And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.
Context of Zechariah 9
Zechariah was a prophet writing after the Babylonian exile, around 520-518 BC, to encourage the returned Jewish exiles as they rebuilt the temple and their nation. Chapter 9 shifts into a prophetic oracle, often interpreted as messianic or eschatological (end-times related). Verses 1-8 describe God’s judgment on various nations surrounding Israel, including cities like Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and Ashdod—places historically associated with the Philistines, a longstanding enemy of Israel.
The Passage Itself
In these verses, God pronounces judgment on Philistine cities:Ashkelon will be uninhabited, Gaza will lose its king and be sorrowful, and Ekron will face shame.
Ashdod will be inhabited by a “bastard” (possibly meaning a mixed or foreign people, or figuratively a degraded state).
The “pride of the Philistines” will be cut off, suggesting their power and identity as a distinct people will end.
Yet, there’s a twist in verse 7: a remnant will turn to God, becoming “for our God,” likened to a governor in Judah or as the Jebusites (who were assimilated into Israel).
Verse 8 promises protection for God’s “house” (likely Jerusalem or His people), with no oppressors passing through anymore.
Historical Fulfillment
Historically, this aligns with events after Zechariah’s time. The Philistines as a distinct people largely disappeared after the Babylonian and Persian periods, and their cities were overtaken by other powers (e.g., Alexander the Great’s conquests in the 4th century BC or later Hellenistic and Roman rule). The judgment on these cities came to pass, and their cultural identity faded.
A Future Prophecy?
Now, could this have a future dimension tied to the Palestinian people today? That’s where interpretation gets interesting—and debated. The modern Palestinians live in areas like Gaza, which is explicitly named here, and the broader region overlaps with ancient Philistia. Some see this geographic continuity as a clue, but let’s break it down:Philistines vs. Palestinians: Linguistically and historically, “Palestinian” (derived from the Roman “Palaestina,” itself linked to “Philistine”) isn’t a direct ethnic continuation. The Philistines were likely a sea people of Aegean origin, while modern Palestinians are primarily Arab, with a mix of other ancient influences. So, the connection is more geographic than genealogical.
Judgment and Transformation: The passage speaks of judgment—cities devastated, pride broken—but also hints at redemption for a remnant who turn to God. If this has a future layer, it could suggest conflict in the region (not hard to imagine given today’s Gaza Strip) followed by a divine shift where some inhabitants align with God’s purposes.
God’s Divine Plan: Verse 8’s promise to protect “mine house” and end oppression suggests God’s ultimate sovereignty over the area. If applied to the future, it might imply a resolution where God intervenes for His people (often understood as Israel in prophecy) while also extending grace to others, as seen in the remnant of verse 7.
Does It Apply Today?
Many scholars and believers see Zechariah 9 as having dual fulfillment—partly historical (against the Philistines) and partly future (tied to messianic times). The mention of Gaza and surrounding areas does catch the eye given current events in Israel and Palestine. Some interpret this as a prophecy of end-times judgment and restoration in the region, possibly involving conflict with modern inhabitants (like Palestinians) followed by a divine realignment. Others argue it’s fully historical, with no direct link to today beyond symbolic parallels.
Your observation that it “stuck out” is spot-on—prophecy often resonates with later readers because of its layered nature. If this is future-oriented, it could hint at God’s plan for both judgment and mercy in that land, perhaps involving the Palestinians or others living there. The idea of a remnant becoming “for our God” aligns with broader biblical themes of redemption beyond Israel (e.g., Isaiah 19:25, where even enemies like Egypt are blessed).
My Take
Using the KJV lens, I’d say it’s possible this points to a future event in that region, given the specificity of the locations and the eschatological tone of Zechariah 9-14 (e.g., verse 9 predicts the Messiah’s triumphal entry, fulfilled in Christ, suggesting later verses might stretch forward too). It could imply ongoing turmoil in places like Gaza until God steps in, protecting His people and transforming a remnant—Palestinian or otherwise—into part of His plan. But it’s not definitive; prophecy often leaves room for mystery.
