The wicked are estranged from the womb; They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies. Ps 58:3 nkjv

Looking back in time [pre-flood world, Noah’s time], when men had successfully corrupted themselves thoroughly, Yahweh decided to solve the problem… I think He may be thinking along similar lines now. Consider the wicked display of “in your face” [God], of the evil that the Olympic opening ceremony gave the world… desecrating the last supper [as reenacted by LGBT activists] and portraying it to the world… wickedness from the womb, fits them, I think. Do you think these cowards would have performed a likewise insult to Islam [Mohamed]? They would have burned Paris to the ground.

In Isaiah 45:7. He says God creates peace/evil…

“I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity [evil, kjv]; I, the Lord, do all these things.’” Imagine that, from the beginning the tree of the knowledge of good and evil existed… You may have a hard time wrapping your head around the mysterious ways of Yahweh, but I think we need to let Him be God, and that we learn His expectations of us and walk in them… After all, is it not really us making the choice between the “tree of Life” and the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil?”

Throughout time, the Torah [Word of Yahweh] has been known as the tree of Life… Yeshua, If you will… that we, through Him, may escape the “evil” in, and coming more dramatically, upon the times of these last days… after Yeshua’s Olivet discourse, He said this:

“Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” lu 21:36 nkjv

If you are like me, it seems every day something more disgusting and/or evil presents itself for our amazement… because we “see them” through the spirit eyes Yahweh gives us from the view of His Torah. These things were in King David’s time too, as he also saw them through spirit eyes [of the Torah] as he watched the evil happenings around him; in fact he wrote many “imprecatory” Psalms… in which he invokes Yahweh’s wrath and judgment against his enemies… Who and what, today, are the enemies of God [Yahweh/His Word]? If you have been reading your Bible, you can easily answer that question.

Now as for me, for a long time I have joined the words of David in “imprecatory” profession and prayers against evil… not mischievous people who have wronged me, who I must forgive and pray for their redemption. But I believe as part of spiritual warfare, that following David’s leading in his “imprecatory” psalms matters in the conflicts around us… which Paul so clearly defines in eph 6:11-13;  while evil spiritual powers need human bodies [complicit in the evil they do] these “evil from the womb” madmen are our enemies… enemies of Yahweh and His kingdom… I think they are open game for my prayers for their destruction; I come against them, their companions and plans and intentions, that every pit they dig for the righteous, they themselves will fall into, and reversal upon them and their house, in every evil thing they plan and purpose against us and Yahweh, his people and the Land of Israel.

There are a number of Imprecatory Psalms, here, I am thinking of Psalms 35; 58; 109…  and one last thing, it is not for us to decide if we prosper and escape persecution from the evil deeds of these madmen… it is for us to remember what Yeshua said:

“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” mat 10:28 nkjv
