Several years ago, I taught English to a beautiful Saudi Arabian woman. Her children often clustered around us, providing a distraction from the grammar practice. They were beautiful kids, but after a while - when their mom had had enough of the wailing and whining, she firmly stated, "Halas!"
"What does that mean?" I asked.
"Enough. It means enough."
Some day, life as we know it will cease. Jesus will come back and set up his kingdom on earth. Every knee will bow and every tongue shout that he is King of kings and Lord of lords. God's voice will echo throughout the earth:
"Enough!"
"No more tormenting of my children."
"No more cancer, Alzheimers or starvation."
"No more suicides, terrorism or war."
"No more pain or stress."
"No more sin and temptation."
"It is finished. It is over. Halas."
Even so, Lord Jesus - come quickly.
