ChristOnLastDayWill JudgeLivingAndDead

ng.,"Adelaide,S.A., writes:

"Wearetaughtsolemnly thatdeathisapunishment forsin;'itisappointedunto menoncetodie'Nonehas escapeddeath Now, turningtoI.Thessalonians, iv,16,isitpossibletobelievethatthosewhomthe LastDayfindsinthestate ofgracewillnotdie,butbe takenupintoheaven?"

R.:Yes;whatyouaskat theendofyourquestionis true.Justaboutthetime youwroteyourquerya similarquestionconcerning I.Cor.,XV.,51,wasansweredinthissession.It seems,however,thatthe followersofacertainsect arecausinginthemindsof listenersconfusionabout St.Paul'steachingonthe SecondComingofChrist.

Letusreviewthesetting ofSt.Paul'stwolettersto thebrethrenatThessalonica.ForcedbyJewish persecutiontoleaveThessalonica,St.PaulsentTim; othytoinvestigateandreportbacktohim.

Timothyreturnedwith twoquestionswhichwere disturbingthemindsofsome intheThessalonicachurch. Oneconcernedthedateof theParousiaorSecond ComingofChristinjudgmentwhichtheThessaloniansimaginedmustoccur withinthetimeofonegeneration.

AllJudged

Thesecondepistletothe ThessaloniansclearlystatedthatPaulandeveryone elsewastotallyignorantof thedateofChrist'ssecond coming.,butSt.Paulcalmedtheirapprehensionsof itsimmediatelikelihoodby enumeratingcertainthings thatmusthappenbeforehand. Theirseconddifficulty wasthefateoftheirbrethrenwhohaddiedandwho, therefore,wouldnotbewitnessesofthesecondcoming ofChristexpectedbythem withintwentyyears.In this4th.chapterofhisfirst epistle,St.Paulassuresthe Thessaloniansthat"when Jesuscomesback,Godwill bringbackthosewhohave foundrestthroughhim;" theirdeadwillalsobepresentatthejudgment.

-Firstofallthedeadwill riseup,thosewhodiedin Christ.Onlyafterthat shallwe,whoarestillleft

alive,betakenupintothe clouds,besweptawayto meetChristintheair,and theywillbearuscompany." (Verse16.)

ThusSt.Paulsolvedtheir twodifficulties.Yourdifficulty,however,isnotthat oftheThessaloniansi.e., howcanthedeadbethere?

Youquestionhowanybut thedeadcanbethere,and yourefertoHebrewsix,27, andRomans,v.12,which seemtosuggestthatallmust diebeforejudgment.

ButinthesetextsSt. Paulmerelystatesthegeneralprinciplethateveryoneismortal-liabletodie -withoutproclaiming,actualdeathinthecaseof everyindividual;thosealive onthelastdaywillbesuch anegligibleproportionof allmankindthattheyare leftoutofaccount. FromseveraltextsofSt. Paul,includingI.Thessaloniansiv,16,towhichyou refer,itseemsclearthatSt. Paulexpectsthefinalgen-

erationofmankindtoescapedeath.Thiswould alsoseemtoagreewiththe lastverseoftheApostles' Creed:"FromthenceHe shallcometojudgethelivingandthedead."

Yoursecondquestion reads:

"WhowasNostradamus? Doesanyfulfilledprophecy ofhishaveanyqualificationstowarrantbeliefin thedivineoriginofsuch?"

R.;Nostradamuswasthe assumednameofMichelde Notredame,aJewishastrologer,whowasbornin Provenceatthebeginning ofthe16th.century.

In1555hepublishedat Lyonsabookofrhymed propheciesunderthetitle "Centuries,"whichwascondemnedbyRomein1781. FromthefactthatNostradamusderivedhispropheciesfromthestars,aidedby averyfertileimagination, youcangatherthatthere wasnothingdivineintheir origin.

ConfidenceNotAbandonment WasSpokenFromTheCross

"BibleReader,"Collie, writes:

"Icannotunderstandthe wordsspokenbyChriston theCross:'MyGod,MyGod, whyhastThouforsaken Me'?Isitacryofdespait, ordoesitmeanthatHewas abandonedbyHisFather sinceHecarriedonHis shouldersthesinsofthe world?"

R.:No,neitherofyour suggestedexplanationsis correct.ThewordsspokenbyChristaretheopeningwordsofPsalm21 (Psalm22inthenon-CatholicBible).Doubtless OurLordcontinuedthe psalminsilence.Thefact thatthewordsareaquotationremovesanydifficulty aboutabandonmentordespair.Besides,thepsalm itselfisnotacryofdespairbut,onthecontrary, ahymnofcompleteconfidenceinGod.Itisthe prayerofthejustmanwho, thoughsurroundedbyenemiesandsufferingintense pain,looksconfidentlyto Godfordeliverance.The psalmexpressesthedesolationfeltinthehumansoul ofChristasHediesforsakenbyfriendsandtauntedbyenemies.IntheGos-

Wheninvitedtothis gathering,Iwaswondering whatIcouldsay,andifI couldfindanythingnew. Ponderingthispoint,Icame torealise,morethanever, thetruthofthatstatement fromtheSapientialBooks: `Nihilsubsolenovi':"There isnothingnewunderthe sun."SoIshallsaynothing whichhasnotyetbeendone orsaidinthiscountry. Ratherthanmakeaformal speechoraddress,Iwould liketoformulateafewpoints which,eventhoughthey havealogicalconnectionand co-ordination,nevertheless arecompleteinthemselves.

FIRST:Iamgladtobein Alburybecausethoughitis notoneofthecapitalcities, ithasitsimportancenonethe less.For,today,whilewe needtoco-ordinateand unitealltheCatholicforces, activitiesandorganizations throughoutthecountry,not forgettingtherestofthe Catholicworld,weshould notconcentrateeverything inthebigcities.

Ourbodies,too,come directlyfromtheearth, whileoursoulsaredirectly createdbyGodinthefirst momentofourexistence.

Fromtheearthwereceive allthematerialthingsour bodiesneed:food,clothing andothernecessitiesorconveniencesoflife.

Therefore,inusingthe landweshouldlookupon ourselvesashavingtogive anaccountofourstewardshiptoagreaterMaster thanwe.

Ingivingthisteachingthe Fathersdidnotintendto destroytherightofprivate property.Notatall.They insistedonit,inordertorecognisethesovereigntyof God,byWhomallthings werecreated"forman'suse andbenefit."

FIFTH:Notonlymustwe strivetopreserveandimprovethelandwithdams, irrigation,tilling,grass, treesandsoforth.Wemust populatethelend.

Thisisthecommandment ofGod.Thisittheconstant teachingoftheCatholic Churchfromherbeginning eventoourtimes.Thishas beentheteachingofthe SovereignPontiffgloriously reigningandoftheAustralianHierarchy.Forthis teachingtheAustralian Bishopshavewontheadmirationandthegratitudeof theWorld.

Alandwithoutpeople shouldbepopulatedas quicklyaspossible.Thisis atthesametimeourright, andouressentialduty:to givelandtopeoplewithout land.

Ultimately,thelandwas createdbyGodforhuman beings,forallhumanbeings. AsIhavealreadysaid,only Godhasasupreme,absolute, unlimitedrightoverthe land.Nationsandpeoples, familiesandindividualshave theirownershipoftheland limitedbythesocialfunctionoftheland,bythe rightsandtheneedsofother humanbeings. Sotopopulatethelandis tofulfilnotonlythelawof charity,butalsoofsocial justice.Itisarecognition thatafterallthereisbutone humanfamily,whosemembersallhavetherighttolive andtoenjoythebenefitsof thelandcreatedandgivenby God.
