Specifically Jimmy Carter....... I honestly wish he would "go away".
Also add oBumma..... and a whole slew of others.
The world is being destroyed by evil.... things could be great.
Is it wrong to pray for justice, and hope that justice is devastating?
It is so hard to pray that they will simply wake up, see their evil ways and repent.... although that would be nice.
Praying for the wicked to be destroyed is a holy thing to do.
But the question we must ask before going down that road is to make sure we know what is evil and what is not. I will agree that Jimmy Carter is a wicked vile example of a human being, he is a sick man who has done a lot of damage to the world. But do I spend my prayers cursing him specifically? Not really. He is a part of my generic prayer for all enemies of the Jews to be utterly destroyed and humiliated before the judge of judges.
If we curse someone who ends up making repentence then maybe we will bear some sin. In the case of Jew vs Jew we are commanded to first rebuke them privately first in order to prevent their embarassment, and if this doesn't work, and their transgression endangers others we must make it public, and attempt to stop them from repeating their transgressions. Once their sin rises to the level of patently evil, we should curse them with the fate that all enemies of Israel have, which will be destruction when final judgement is rendered.
This is my thoughts on this question. Others may disagree.
