Catholics ask a very hard question! “Who is the “they” in Today’s Reading?
Luke, 11:24-33 includes three sentences:
1. “For you say that it is by Beelzebub that I drive out demons.”
2. “If I, then, drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your own people drive them out?”
3. “Therefore they will be your judges.”
Whom will “they” judge”? “they” will “judge” all who willfully reject He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies.
Who are “they”? What are “they”?
There are three meanings.
1. “they” may be the demons of pride who keep people from following Teachings of He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies. They may be the “judges” of those they lead astray.
2. Or, “they” may be those given the power by demons to be earthly “judges”
3. Or, the “they” may be both!
