According to the free dictionary the definition of the point of no return is as follows: Point of no Return

1. The point in a course of action beyond which reversal is not possible.
2. The point in the flight of an aircraft beyond which there is insufficient fuel for return to the starting point.

      If you look at the above definition it is very clear that the point of no return is the point in any endeavor in which circumstances have moved so far that it is literally impossible to go back and change the circumstances.

      The point of no return can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what the situation is. Take for instance if someone is getting married; we know from the marriage covenant in Scripture that once the couple would say “I do” to the marriage vow that it would be past the point of no return to annul the marriage, the two would be joined in marriage until death of one of the spouses.

      However, in this article, I mainly want to focus on the point of no return of this current system of Satan, and to show how far the world has gone that we are now at the point of no return for humanity in his rebellion of the Creator, Yahweh.

      As human beings Yahweh tells us that “His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts,” (Isa 55:8-9).

      And in a world that the normalcy bias is regular killings in churches, and schools, and public places, sometimes it is hard for brethren to see that this world has passed the point of no return in the eyes of Yahweh. And yet, almost daily, we see in the news either family members killing each other, sexual harassment in the workplace, or praise for people who become transgenders or homosexuals. Truly, this world has passed the point of no return!

Many will counter that claim with statements like “But there has always been evil”, and “look at history at places like Sodom and Gomorrah, they were more evil than today”. And, although, in one sense it is correct that evil has always existed, and Sodom and Gomorrah were evil, wicked places; however, when these places had come to their full of evil, or the point of no return, Yahweh destroyed those societies from off the earth for good.

Gen 6:5 And YAHWEH saw that the evil of man was great on the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the day long.

Gen 6:6 And YAHWEH sighed with sorrow that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved to His heart.

Gen 6:7 And YAHWEH said, I will wipe off man whom I have created from the face of the earth, from man to beast, to the creeping thing and to the birds of the heavens; for I repent that I made them.

Also, look at the following:

Gen 18:20 And YAHWEH said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and their sin is exceedingly heavy.

Gen 18:21 I will go down and see if they have at all done according to the cry coming to Me. And if not, I will know.

Gen 19:12 And the men said to Lot, Who still is here to you? Bring out of this place your sons and your sons-in-law and your daughters, and whoever belongs to you in the city.

Gen 19:13 For we are about to destroy this place, for the cry of them is great before YAHWEH, and YAHWEH has sent us to destroy it.

So, there has always been good and evil in this world since Adam and Eve’s rejection of the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, but here we see two different civilizations where the sin had increased so much, to the point that Yahweh had to erase every man, woman, and child, off the face of the planet. They reached the point of no return.

And in the end time, Yahweh prophesies the very same thing about this generation that we live in.

Luk 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of Man

Luk 17:27 They were eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage, until the day Noah went into the ark. And the flood came and destroyed all.

Luk 17:28 And likewise, as it was in the days of Lot, they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;

Luk 17:29 but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, YAHWEH rained down fire and brimstone from the heaven and destroyed all of them.

Luk 17:30 According to those things, it will be in the day the Son of Man is revealed.

The very generation that we live in now is prophesied to have the same set of circumstances that caused both the society in Noah’s day and Sodom and Gomorrah to perish. It is saying that there would be such wickedness in this last generation that there was no more redeeming element to it, only Yahweh’s judgment to erase its memory from the face of history.

Rev 18:1 And after these things I saw another cherub coming down out of Heaven having great authority, and the earth was lighted up from his glory.

Rev 18:2 And he cried in a strong, great voice, saying, Babylon the great has fallen! It has fallen, and it has become a dwelling-place of those possessed by demons, and a home of every foul spirit, and a home of every unclean bird, even the home of every unclean and hateful beast,

Rev 18:3 because of the wine of the anger of her fornication which all the nations have drunk, even the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her; and the merchants of the earth became rich from the power of her trade.

Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice out of Heaven saying, leave the land of her, My people, that you may not share in her sins, and that you may not receive of her plagues;

Rev 18:5 because her sins joined together, even reach up to Heaven, and YAHWEH remembered her unjust deeds.

Rev 18:6 Give back to her as also she gave back to you, and double to her double, according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.

Rev 18:7 By what things she glorified herself, and luxuriated, by so much give back to her torment and mourning. Because she says in her heart, I sit as a queen, and I am not a widow; and I shall not see sorrow.

Rev 18:8 Because of this, in one day her plagues shall come: death, and mourning, and famine; and she will be consumed with fire, for YAHWEH Elohim judging her is strong.

Mat 24:21 For there will be great suffering, such as has not happened from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.

Mat 24:22 And except those days were shortened, not any flesh would live. But on account of the chosen, those days will be shortened.

Because of the normalcy bias in this world most don’t see how wicked things really are and how far mankind has come away from the basic moral fiber of Yahweh’s character laid out in the Ten Commandments. But neither did the people in Noah’s day, or the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. They simply tried to do harm to those who witnessed to them of the evil they were performing, and to the consequences of their sins.

Gen 19:9 And they said, Stand back! And they said, This one came in to visit, and must he always judge? Now we will do evil to you rather than to them. And they pressed on the man, upon Lot violently, and drew near to break the door.

Unfortunately, we have the same circumstances today. As technology is multiplying exponentially so is mankind’s ability to use that technology in more evil ways and this world has hit the point of no return. The point where they have passed the threshold for change, and the results that we have been seeing the last 5 to 10 years, seem to be irreversible.

This is in part because of the brainwashing and indoctrination of our youth by the progressive educational system for almost 100 years now. It started with the Darwin revolution and the teaching of our children of a creation without a Creator, and it continued with taking prayer out of school, and instilling in our children evil ideas such as safe sex, instead of abstinence until marriage.

However, up to this past decade many of the evil ideas that Satan tried to push on society were a matter of one’s religious belief system instead of something they dealt with every day of their lives. Homosexuality is a point of reference in this area. Before becoming law in the USA and a human right by the Supreme Court in 2015, it was simply something someone believed in or did not believe in.

However, now that it is not only legal, but actually even encouraged, you see openly gay people in every facet of life. And now it is not simply a religious belief to our children, but they have gay teachers, and doctors, gay lawyers, and friends. And in a recent survey taken on Christians’ support for gay marriage it went from 38% in 2015, to 58% in 2017. Truly, We have passed the point of no return!

Not only is the divorce rate in the USA at around 58%, but now for the first time in history, more than 50% of couples are simply cohabitating without getting married. And since the US Supreme Court has denied the fact that the very definition of marriage is between one man and one woman, society cannot last even one more generation without the backbone of the marriage covenant that it was created on.

Since the creation of the world, and Adam and Eve, back in Genesis the first chapter, the marriage covenant is the only institution that has lasted for almost 6,000 years in all societies and places on earth, because it is the very root of procreation and even civilization itself. And without it, mankind with a corrupt human nature is past the point of no return.

The reality is that as humans we are creatures of habit, and when people are allowed to do evil over and over again and there are no consequences, then the evil nature and mindset waxes worse and worse, until there is no redeeming value left to it.

Ecc 8:11 When sentence on an evil work is not executed speedily, on account of this the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

And it is the same with believers who do not repent and change from their fallen human nature but continue to practice sin.

Let’s take a situation like someone committing adultery on their spouse. And then, they will leave the spouse and cohabitate with the adulterous woman. At first the adulterous person will feel remorseful for their actions, and feel a certain amount of guilt when they are in a sinful situation. They may even apologize to their children for the harm that they caused. However, as time goes on, and they continue in this sin and they see no consequences, and their lifestyle becomes normal to them, then they actually no longer even see their adultery as wrong, and there is no longer even an ounce of remorse for what they did.

It is just the opposite! They actually become emboldened, and now instead of feeling remorse to the wife that they left or the children they hurt, they start to feel bitter toward them, and brainwash themselves into believing that somehow, they have been the wronged party.

They grow more bitter over those they have hurt and repentance will never come because they justify their decisions and believe that they haven’t done anything wrong. They have passed the point of no return!

The unpardonable sin is unrepentant sin, and when someone lives a lifestyle of sin repeatedly, and it becomes normal to them with no remorse or regret, then they have passed the point of no return! In our calling, after we have committed to living the way of life of Yahweh according to His Torah, and we are baptized into covenant relationship with Him, we have also passed the point of no return. There is no turning back, only a joyful looking ahead to the Kingdom of Yahweh and eternal life as a child in that Kingdom.

Php 3:13 Brothers, I do not count myself to have reached the goal, but one thing I do, forgetting the things behind, and stretching forward to those things before,

Php 3:14 I press toward the goal to receive the prize of victory of the highest calling of YAHWEH in Messiah Yahshua.

Sadly, some start this walk and actually are baptized and pass the point of no return, but then, they do turn back and go back to the world. Either the cares of life, or some sort of so called offense, or many times it is that they never really repented of their sins and never really came out of the wicked world around them. So, they walk back to the world and lose out on eternal life.

2nd Pet 2:20 For if, when they have escaped the pollutions of the world by the knowledge of our Master and Redeemer, Yahshua the Messiah, they become again entangled in the very same things and are overcome by them, their latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

2nd Pet 2:21 For it was better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than having recognized it to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.

2nd Pet 2:22 But the word of the true proverb has happened to them: “The dog returns to his own vomit; also, the sow that was washed, to wallowing in the mud.

The world has passed the point of no return and is simply waiting for the appointed time of Yahweh’s wrath to allow them to reap what they have sown. But, the people of Yahweh, the sheep of Yahshua, have also passed the point of no return by coming out of Satan’s wicked society and sanctifying their lives to Yahweh to be servants of His in His Kingdom forever. May we focus on this wonderful joy every day of our lives and always be looking forward toward the Kingdom and not backward as we have already passed the point of no return.
