CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 18, 2022
A MUSLIM MAN FROM GREAT BRITAIN WALKED INTO A SYNAGOGUE NORTH OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS
SATURDAY AND TOOK FOUR HOSTAGES, INCLUDING THE RABBI. HIS STATED GOAL WAS TO GAIN THE
RELEASE OF A WOMAN KNOWN AS “LADY AL QAEDA.” SHE IS DOING 86 YEARS IN PRISON AFTER BEING
TRIED AND CONVICTED IN 2010 IN NEW YORK. SHE HAD FIRED ON U.S. SOLDIERS AND FBI AGENTS WHO
WERE INTERVIEWING HER IN AFGHANISTAN FOLLOWING HER CAPTURE THERE.
FORTUNATELY, THE INCIDENT ENDED WITH ALL THE HOSTAGES RELEASED. THE GUNMAN DIED. A
RELATIVE SAID HE HAD “MENTAL ISSUES.” MAYBE, MAYBE NOT.
IT IS A TRAGEDY THAT MANY HOUSES OF WORSHIP MUST HAVE SECURITY, OR TRAIN SOME OF THEIR
PEOPLE HOW TO RESPOND TO A TERRORIST ATTACK. THERE IS A SECURITY GUARD AT MY CHURCH. HE IS
VISIBLE AND IN UNIFORM. ROBERT JEFFRESS, PASTOR OF FIRST BAPTIST IN DALLAS, WAS ON FOX
SATURDAY, EXPLAINING HOW SOME OF HIS CONGREGANTS HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO SPOT POTENTIAL
DANGERS. PRESUMABLY SOME ARE ARMED, THOUGH HE DIDN’T SAY.
SUCH IS THE NATURE OF EVIL THESE DAYS. ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE
BEFORE THE END. I’M CAL THOMAS.
I’m not saying the end of the world is here but absolutely these are end times. Recently I read that push in Canada’s governing is based on the belief that Biblical morality is a myth. It is beyond my comprehension that humans are desiring to live with no codes. Can’t they see ahead? Then we live by our desires and instincts. Survival of the fittest. Isn’t that how animals operate. We become base, not recognizing our God made image. Becoming soulless.
