HAMAN, HITLER & ARMELOS [#16276]

October 27, 2021

QUESTION:

1) Will Armelos be a physical person or he is a spiritual concept? If he will be a physical person can we know who he is? Can he be someone who is a great leader? Will he know that he is Armelos? Is he a soul reincarnation of Bilaam? Can he do teshuvah and save himself from being destroyed?

ANSWER:

Armelos is a spiritual [and evil] power who may very well become clothed in a certain person or in another person. He won’t be able to do complete teshuvah, because by his very concept, he is evil.
QUESTION
2) Was there a possibility for Hitler, may his name be blotted out, to have free will? Did he have the option of doing teshuvah? And what about Haman – was it possible for him to have free will and also do teshuvah?
ANSWER
He had partial free will, and regarding that level of free will he had, he was able to do teshuvah. But he is from Amalek, who cannot do complete teshuvah. And the same was true about Haman.
