The
Point of No Return
The point of no return, the place of no more chances, the door
that slams forever shut -- these are concepts that make us cover our ears and
holler, “La-la-la-la.” The Western world in the 21st century works hard to mask
final realities. A pregnancy used to be a point of no return, but now a woman
can abort (same word used to end a mission -- how odd is that?) the inevitable,
even just before birth. A student can fail a test, and then retake it and
retake it. Some folks even freeze their dead bodies, counting on science to
eventually provide a second chance. No deadline is really a deadline, no expectation
must really be met, nothing is really due when it’s due. So very many of us
just assume that every can can be kicked down the road to
infinity, but those of us who still live in reality know better; sometimes it’s
just permanently too late.
I’ve been pondering that quite a bit lately; I keep running into
it in my Bible studies. Remember the Pharaoh of the Exodus? For the first five
plagues Pharaoh hardens his own heart -- digs in his own heels and won’t let
the people go. But by the time the sixth plague hits -- the plague of boils --
it’s too late. At that point “God hardens Pharaoh’s heart.” He uses up all his
chances; God imposes this plague and the following four, “that you may know
that there is none like Me in all the earth.” Each time Pharaoh
rejects Moses’ demands, he adds more callus to his soul until, by the plague of
boils, he is so encrusted, so inflexible that he can’t make a positive choice.
He passed the point of no return; after that, he, and his nation were doomed.
Egypt has never really recovered.
Look at Western Europe -- Sweden, Germany, the UK. Their
reproductive rates have dropped so low that immigration must have seemed a good
way to deal with that problem. A society can run into a population dead end if,
on the average, each person doesn’t reproduce him/herself. When the birth rate
falls below two children per couple, eventually that society will implode;
there will be an inadequate number of young people to do the work. So Europe
imports Muslims from the Middle East and now they’ve lost parts of their
countries and their culture. Can this be undone? The problem with the point of
no return is that those involved never see it coming.
Now look at 2nd Thessalonians 2: 9,”The coming of the lawless
one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and
lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who
perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be
saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that
they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did
not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” At some time in the
future (quite possibly the near future) people will refuse truth until they can
no longer do anything else. As I’ve watched the left stagger about in disbelief
over the election of Donald Trump, I can’t help but remember this passage.
“Strong delusion” is right. Russia? Really?! But here’s the sobering part: are
all these people past that point of no return? Is our Western society
permanently screwed? Could be.
I look around American society today and I see many dead ends
looming. Education, for instance. With John Dewey (at the turn of last century)
our school systems began a subtle change from attempting to produce
independent, knowledgeable thinkers to generating non-thinking workers. During
the late 60s the pace increased, curricula backed off the classics, and social
engineering became a major thrust. God was banished from the classroom, and
since He couldn’t be there, we had to find shortcuts, counterfeit ways to teach
virtue: tolerance instead of real mercy; acceptance instead of righteousness;
self-esteem instead of love and care. We erased purpose, discipline, and need.
We’re several generations into this fiasco and even if DeVos manages to clean
things up and institute vouchers and charter schools, where will we find
well-educated, un-indoctrinated teachers to man those schools? How can we
deprogram our colleges and our public schools? It may be too late.
Let’s go back to the Bible. Look at what happens in Matthew 12.
Over and over in previous chapters we see Jesus healing the crippled, the
blind, the mute, the demon possessed. Yet in the 12th chapter the Pharisees
demand that He give them a sign that He is in fact the Christ. So He does
another healing, and what do they say? “He does that in the power of
Beelzebub.” After that, Jesus teaches only in parables and explains them only
to his disciples. He cuts Israel off and later we discover that an irrevocable
curse has been placed on Jerusalem; 40 years later the Romans lay siege to the
holy city and over a million Jews die, Israel and Judah are no more, are
scattered over the earth not to be reconnected with their land for 2,000 years.
They each used up all their chances -- a point after which they would no longer
be able to believe. And of course, once they were dead….
According to the gospels, on Passover of A.D. 30-something, Roman
soldiers nailed an obscure rabbi from Nazareth to a cross propped between two
thieves. One thief made the deadline just in time and secured his place in
Paradise. The other missed it. Forever. Throughout the entire Bible there is
one theme: God will fix the problem of sin -- our job is to believe that, to
accept the free gift of salvation. God was able to offer this because His Son
was willing to take on the punishment for that sin. Our part is to just receive
the gift -- before death takes us. If a person misses that deadline, there is
no going back. In the most permanent and irrevocable way imaginable, there is
no going back. And we never know exactly what that due date is.

Palm Sunday blasts rock Egypt: Islamist beasts at it again
The Islamofascist beasts are at it again. Today they blew up St. Mark's Church in Alexandria, Egypt, where the Coptic leader, Pope Tawadros II, had been attending Palm Sunday mass, killing 11. They slaughtered another 25 at St. George's Church at mass in Tantos, Egypt.
Writing as catechist whose passion is to teach the children of Beverly Hills all about the great St. Mark (did so last week) and the magnificent St. George (earlier this year) and the glory of Palm Sunday (yesterday) and the fascinating significance of Easter eggs among the Iranian, Middle Eastern, Egyptian and Russian children (yesterday) ... it makes me sick. I look at this news in disbelief.
What a heinous crime on one of the most majestic, wondrous and highly anticipated spiritual days of the Christian calendar, Palm Sunday, one where Egypt's diminishing Christian minority still commemorate in faith as they have been commemorating for 2000 years. The Copts, who are the oldest Christians, have a particular reverence for it. This attack is a direct assault on Christianity and on God himself. Do I have to say this too? It's the work of the devil.
It's beyond despicable, I feel such sadness for the good people of Egypt who have had to endure this atrocity. Just as the chemical attack in Syria shocked all of our consciences, this attack in Egypt does the same. It's the work of beastly barbarians acting in the name of some anti-faith that has nothing to do with the good Muslim people we all know. Yes, there are arguments about this, but as I say, this is the work of dark Satanic forces no matter what its perpetrators call themselves.
It calls for airstrikes with as much moral clarity as President Trump's airstrikes on Syria earlier this week.
That's not practical, unfortunately, but it does show what kind of impact the retaliatory response must have. President Trump just met with President al-Sisi of Egypt this week. The two vowed to strengthen their cooperation in eradicating terror. The Muslim-brotherhood-linked terrorists who likely did this undoubtedly wanted to send a message to Egypt's Christians that while airstrikes might work in Syria, Egypt's terrorists had no intention of being daunted by them and the atrocities would continue because they considered al-Sisi weak. They may actually have wanted to punish him for supporting Trump' airstrikes.
Sisi is weak, and the society he leads is shot through with Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers. That makes it very difficult to root out the perpetrators and more important discourage future terror attacks.
The thing that would throw them for a loop would be the negation of any of these assumptions or narratives. Can Sisi make them pay? Can Trump do something unexpected o avenge the innocent in Egypt too? Can the U.S. cooperation with Egypt become extremely effective, perhaps another Plan Colombia, renamed as Plan Egypt? These are all questions for the fallout that will inevitably occur in the wake of these shocking attack.
For now, it's impossible to not just mourn the good and holy Egyptian victims.
So Europe imports Muslims from the Middle East and now they’ve lost parts of their countries and their culture.

MIDDLE CLASS,
OBAMA NOW VOWS TO BUILD A PRO-MUSLIM DICTATORSHIP FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS AND
OBAMA’S CRONY BANKSTERS.
Barack Obama and his henchmen would not have been
emboldened in their ostensible machinations to undermine an election and then a
presidency if it were not for the fecklessness of the Republican Party and the
blind eye as well as the tacit support of the mainstream media.

In what’s
shaping up to be a highly unusual post-presidency, Obama isn’t just staying
behind in Washington. He’s working behind the scenes to set up what will
effectively be a shadow government to not only protect his threatened legacy,
but to sabotage the incoming administration and its popular “America First”
agenda.
