Matthew 25:31-46 – The Sheep And The Goats And Judgement Day

 

Introduction

Matthew 25:31-46 says that we will all stand before the Lord, but only the righteous will enter the kingdom. Christ will judge all the people alive during the tribulation, but we won’t know for certain until the end of time. We only know that some will survive. Regardless of their faith, all will be gathered in front of Jesus, who will set up a perfect kingdom and begin His reign with the sheep.

In contrast, the Son of Man’s parables is designed to teach the disciples to love the world, not just themselves. The disciples will be the “sheep” who do good works for the world, while the “goats” will turn away from the work of mercy. However, in Matthew 25:31-46, the Lord’s mercy will reach far beyond our own selfish motives.

After the tribulation period, the Son of Man will appear in glory, surrounded by all the angels. In this glorious moment, Jesus will sit on a throne with all the angels, and then rule the earth. Then He will return to earth in a glorious body, and all of the peoples of the world will come before him.

What Does Matthew 25:31-46 Talk About?

This passage is often misunderstood, but it’s actually not that complicated. It’s more about a manner of living. The only motivation for true life is authentic love. It’s not about self-preservation, feeling good, or getting a front-row seat to Heaven. In other words, it’s about loving others, not yourself. That’s the only way to live the Christian lifestyle.

Matthew 25:31-46 - The Sheep And The Goats And Judgement Day

First, we learn that the Son of Man will come back in glory. He will sit on the throne of His glory, with the holy angels at His side. Jesus will then judge these people, and will also judge them. The King of this kingdom will then be in a position to judge the sheep and the goats. This judgment will take place after the Tribulation period, so the Gentiles will be accounted for accordingly.

As Christians, we must remember that the judgment will be final and absolute. In the end, we’ll be able to live according to God’s will. But in the meantime, we must remember that we’re not there yet.

When Will the Son of Man Come in His Glory With All the Angels With Him?

When will the Son of Man come in his glorious glory with all the angels with Him? All nations will gather before the Son of God, and he will separate the sheep from the goats, setting the sheep on the right and the goats on the left. Then, all of humanity will be united, and all of the nations will worship the King.

Matthew 25:31-46 - The Sheep And The Goats And Judgement Day

As you might think the answer is not clear. It is not a certainty, but a promise. It is important to remember that Jesus came in glory and that the angels would follow Him. Then, he will sit on a throne with all of his angels. When the Son of Man comes in his glory, all the nations will be united in front of Him. He will separate them into two groups. Like a shepherd divides his sheep into two groups, he will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

In the final days, This will be a moment when the world is ready to worship the Lord because Jesus is the only one worthy of such an honor.

How Will the World React When the Son of Man Comes in His Glory?

When Jesus comes in His glory, He will be surrounded by all the angels. There will be no more fear of death or sin. There will be no more wars. Everybody will be happy. And all the nations will be gathered together, separated by kind, as they were in the beginning. But the great question is, how will the world react to the appearance of the Son of Man?

Matthew 25:31-46 - The Sheep And The Goats And Judgement Day

When the Son of Man comes in His glory, all nations will be gathered before Him, and he will sit on a throne in his glory. All of the dead will hear His voice and come before the judgment seat. All mankind will have to repent, for the Son of God will judge the world in righteousness. Then, the Son of Man will return to reign over all the nations.

When Jesus comes in His glory, the angels will accompany him. He will bring the whole earth before him, and all the nations will fall before him. On the throne, Jesus will separate the people by nation, placing the sheep on His right side and the goats on his left. The angels will be encircling him, and they will be crowned with crowns and other symbols of power.

What Will the Son of Man Do When He Comes in His Glory?

What will Jesus do, when the Son of Man comes in His glory, When Jesus comes in His glory, all angels will be present. All nations and people will gather before Him. He will separate them by nations, putting sheep on His right and goats on His left. Then He will sit on His throne, and all will worship Him. How will He judge?

According to Matthew’s account, the Son of Man will appear in His glory, with angels accompanying him. The passage says that the Son of Man will come on clouds and that they will carry the angels. However, clouds always accompany theophanies, so the cloud is the vehicle of Jesus’ return. As such, the cloud symbolizes the majesty of God.

When Jesus comes in His glory, the tribes of the earth will mourn, and the Son of Man will send out angels with a loud trumpet call to gather the elect from the four winds. The disciples will see that the Son of Man’s coming in His glory is the beginning of something more, and they are preparing for it. Moreover, the coming of the Son of God will mark the end of this world and will signal the coming of the Kingdom of God.

Matthew 25:31-46 Shows Us What The Judgment Will Be Like

The parable of the Sheep and the Goats in Matthew 25:31-46 shows us what the judgment will be like. The sheep and the goats will be separated by the shepherd. It is the same thing at the end of time. The record of sins is filled and torn off. The judgment is a harsh process, but one in which God rewards those who live righteously.

Many people are ashamed of their sins, but they don’t want judgment. It convicts them of their wrongdoings and brings them to the cross. But Jesus’ Word is the light that exposes them and makes them repent. He also tells them that they must accept the judgment, or they will not enter into eternal life. So, it is not a bad thing to face a trial, but we shouldn’t take a chance on it.

The judgment of the world will come when the judgment of God is finally complete. We will be judged on our good and bad works. But the word of God convicts the world. It is the light that exposes our sins. We should not fear the day of judgment, but we should make every effort to avoid it. We must prepare ourselves for it by doing good deeds, even if that means leaving our profession.

Who is the Sheep in Matthew 25:31-33?

We all know that sheep tend to stay with the herd and follow their shepherd. We can see Jesus’ love for us by our actions. Let us take a closer look at this parable in order to understand what it means to be a sheep. We can’t help but feel a connection to the lamb.

Matthew 25:31-46 - The Sheep And The Goats And Judgement Day

The sheep don’t brag about their good deeds. Instead, they were humble and didn’t list them to impress the judge. The Judge then points out the good things they did. These actions are a sampling of how we can show Jesus’ love for us. We must remember that the lamb is the same as the sheep, but we need to understand the distinction between the two.

In this passage, the lambs are referred to as the sheep. They didn’t boast about their good works. They acted with humility and accepted others who bore witness to Him. They didn’t brag about their good deeds. Rather, they showed humility and were humble in their actions. By doing so, we are showing Christ’s love to those around us.

Who is the Goat in Matthew 25:31-33?

The goat, on the other hand, will not allow brotherly love to flourish and will judge a servant of the Lord harshly. He will also not welcome the hungry and will treat them as strangers. He will join others who delight in these things, including those who follow Christ and the apostles. In other words, a goat will never have mercy on others. It will not receive the least brother, and it will despise even those who love Him.

The Kingdom of Heaven is the real kingdom, and we can trust in the Lord and live like Him. However, we can never be perfect human beings. This is why we should understand that we are not allowed to be perfect, and we can never be perfect. In fact, God is not a man, and we will all fall short of his ideals. But we can still trust Him and he will never fail us.

The Judgment Will Result In Blessedness And Punishment

The judgment is coming. It will be the final, decisive judgment between good and evil. In the book of Matthew, Christ is referred to as the Judge of all, and he will come in glory. This judgment is different from the historic judgments and the many judgments that will take place during the Great Tribulation. The first one will result in a glorious return and the second will result in punishment.

The goats’ judgment is different from that of the people. They are not murderers, adulterers, idolaters, or other evil creatures. Instead, they fail to perform corporal works of mercy. They don’t feed the hungry, welcome strangers, visit the sick, or give water to thirsty people. But they do survive the Great Tribulation and Armageddon.

The punishments of those who reject the message of Christ are very severe. The sheep are blessed in the millennial kingdom in which Christ will rule justly and care for all mankind. The goats, on the other hand, will suffer the punishment of being eternally scolded by the Lord for not being kind to his brethren. And they will be cast into the fire, like the goats.

This judgment is a time of relief for believers and vengeance for unbelievers. The Second Coming of Christ will involve the judging of the Gentile Nations, Old Testament saints, and Tribulation saints. The church has already been judged and rewarded before Christ returns. But the judgment of those who live in the nation of Israel will take place in the millennial kingdom.

Which are you a sheep or a goat?

Which are you a sheep or a goat? This section of Matthew 25:31-46 addresses two different types of people. One is blessed by the Father. They receive eternal life, and they don’t have to work for it. They know a Good Shepherd, and they follow him. The other is not so blessed, and they will be cast into hell.

Matthew 25:31-46 - The Sheep And The Goats And Judgement Day

This passage tells us that we must choose our side. A sheep or a goat? We can choose to be either. But not all of us will be sheep. Sheep listen to God, and they hear His voice. They are placed on His right, and they are rewarded for it. Goats do not, and they are put on his left. When Jesus comes, they will receive a great inheritance.

As Jesus sits down, he asks: Which are you? A sheep or a goat? If you want to be a sheep, then follow His example.

Conclusion – Matthew 25:46

The last verse of Matthew 25:46 refers to eternal punishment and life. The wicked will go into everlasting punishment, while the righteous will be given everlasting life. The difference between these two states is not merely in degree but in duration. The aionios (“life” in Greek) means “everlasting”. And yet, this is what Jesus teaches. He is referring to our eternal fate.

The Sheep Will Go To Heaven

In the Bible, a passage called The Sheep Will Go to Heaven is based on this concept. It tells us that the sheep are the followers of Jesus, and the goats are those who neglect his teachings. It explains that those who follow Jesus will go to heaven, but those who form their own opinions will go to hell. The Sheep Will Walk to the Throne of God

The Goat Will Go To Hell

There are many descriptions of hell in the Bible. Some of these descriptions are literal, while others are symbolic. While there is no question that hell is real, the scriptural description of hell highlights the pain and suffering of those who are lost. The biblical word for “fire” may symbolize God’s wrath, and the phrase “outer darkness” indicates a place far removed from love, mercy, and goodness. However, these images are often interpreted to mean different things to different people.

Reference Bible Verses: Mark 9:44-49

Some Bible passages do not explicitly support the concept of eternal torment. For example, the second letter of Peter describes hell as a place where fallen angels are cast into chains of gloomy darkness. Even annihilationists recognize the difficulty in interpreting such texts. While they disagree with Jesus’s description, the passages in the New Testament seem to imply the concept of eternal torture. Nevertheless, many Christians have taken the word “hell” seriously.

Reference Bible Verses: Matthew 25:41

The descriptions of hell in the New Testament are not as graphic as Jesus’s. While God will not allow any human to enter hell, he will punish all those who disobey his commands. The Bible also emphasizes that all sinners will spend eternity in hell. The wrath of God will come down on all of mankind, ranging from pious hypocrites to murderers. This is one of the most common interpretations of the Bible’s depiction of hell.
