Going full circle - Will you stand before Him as Sheep or Goats?

The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations



Matthew 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 
32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.

Nations


From Strong's Exhaustive Concordance # 1484 as used in the verse of Matthew 25:32 (Nation = Ethnos) a race or tribe.

A look around at our kingdom, America, today brings on an emotion of sadness and righteous anger!

70 years ago as I was being taught the basics of life and it's meaning my parents taught me:

  • Love God with all your heart and soul
  • Respect your elders and seek their wise counsel 
  • Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
  • Everything you do goes full circle; as you do to others so it will be done to you
Today as I look around America I see:

  • Terrorism to include mass shootings and be-headings
  • Elders being thrown away into nursing homes and abandon by family siblings who can't be bothered to care for them
  • Almost a complete lack of love for God and fellow humans
When you stand before Him will you be among the sheep or the goats?

Matthew 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 
32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.
33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 
34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 
35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 
36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 
38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 
39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 
40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 
42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 
43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 
45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 
46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Today many in America who claim to be Christian throw their parents out with the trash and don't appear to love anyone but 'self'.

There are no visible fruits!

Matthew 7:15 [ You Will Know Them by Their Fruits ] “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

Matthew 7:16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?


Matthew 7:20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Going full circle, is it true? As you do unto others so it will be done to you. Find out by reading this mans short story. Click the link here > ‘I was forbidden at the Gates of Heaven…’
