(Matt.25:32-46)How come the sheep didn't know when they had done what God wanted, and the goats hadn't done what God wanted, even though they thought they had?Are you a "sheep" or "goat"?How do you know?

You are a sheep if you hear HIS voice, the Word of God.You are a sheep if you follow the SHEPHERD, His ways.You are a sheep if HE makes you lie down in green pastures, spiritual food.You are a sheep if He leads you beside still waters, peace of mind.You are a sheep if you fear no evil because He is with you.

Matthew 25:33 "And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left."This separation will be at the time of the sounding of the seventh trumpet when Christ returns, is not the Judgment of the Great white throne, but it is a time of the separation of the nations, or peoples of the earth. Matthew 25:34 "Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand,' Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:Matthew 25:35 "For I was an hungred, and ye gave Me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me in:"Matthew 25:36 "Naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in prison, and ye came unto Me.' "Matthew 25:37 "Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when saw we Thee and hungered, and fed Thee? or thirsty, and gave Thee drink?"Matthew 25:38 "When saw we Thee a stranger, and took Thee in? or naked, and clothed Thee?Matthew 25:39 "Or when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto Thee?"Matthew 25:40 "And the King shall answer and and say unto them, 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me.' "Who is asking the question of Jesus here? It is the elect of God, those chosen from before the foundations of this world Or overcame until the End. It is all those that were on the right hand, after the time of separation, as recorded in the 32nd verse. Those that were on the left hand were the ones that followed after the Antichrist, and were as one of the five foolish virgins. The invitation to be on the right side is given to many, however most will prefer to follow the left. This selection will not determine who goes to hell, or not, but who will rule in the Millennium age and teach; and who will be taught and disciplined. At this time of the Millennium those on the left will be taught and well disciplined. Those that followed the Antichrist will not be offered the Grace of God by faith in Jesus Christ, but will then be judged on the merit of their works at the great white throne judgment. The judgment then will be whether or not their soul is condemned. Faith will not be a factor in the Millennium age, for Jesus Christ will be on earth, and all people of the earth will see Him and know Him. There is nothing unseen to believe in. The hope that we are given now is for those in the flesh bodies, and this is the time when all flesh is gone and over. This is the Millennium age of the incorruptible bodies, when all mysteries are known.How can this be, I thought you had only had one chance? The body of Christ is to feed the meat from God's Word, that all parts of that body can grow and be healthy spiritually. When people sit under a teaching for many years and are not given the meat of the word, they will fall. When they fall and have not heard the truth of God's Word, which is the oil to keep their lamps lit, Jesus told us that they will fall in ignorance. It is time to wake up, Christianity is a reality, and not a Religion.When do the elect of God feed and cloth Jesus, and when do we visit Him in prison, or help Him when he is sick? Every time you go to those that have no hope, and give them the Word, and tend to their spiritual needs when they are on a starvation diet for the truth. When you give physical care and attention, to lead that lost soul to the point of seeing that Jesus does care for them, that is how you have served Jesus.Matthew 25:41 "Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels :"The everlasting fire was prepared at the same time of Satan's overthrow, in the first earth age. This everlasting fire is prepared not for you but for Satan, the devil and his angels, however there are many that will chose to go with Satan to their final destruction. At that time of separation you will not have the excuse of ignorance, for you will have the entire thousand years of the Millennium age to learn and then be tested at the end. Satan will be released for a short time, to test those that have been taught, and then judgment. Matthew 25:42 "For I was an hungred, and ye gave Me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me no drink:"Have you prepared yourself so that you could give the meat of God's word to those seeking, if not Matthew is a good place to start. Prepare yourself then go and give to others, for as you minister to them, you minister to Jesus. Matthew 25:43 "I was a stranger, and ye took Me not in: naked, and ye clothed Me not: sick and in prison, and ye visited Me not."Jesus is addressing those that followed the Antichrist her, and those Christians that were lazy, and did not prepare themselves. No they did not give God's word to anyone, for they were ignorant of it in the first place. As they prosper in the five months of whoredoms with Satan, God will protect every one of His elect, for that is the command that He gave to Satan and his angels. Matthew 25:44 "Then shall they also answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stanger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto Thee."Matthew 25:45 "Then shall He answer them, saying, 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to Me.' "Jesus is saying, in as much as you didn't take part in the true body of Christ, the reality of it, you did nothing for me. What they do for the sake of society, or the church houses of nothingness, is not done for Christ. Matthew 25:46 "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into like eternal."This is the time of the final judgment, when all those that partook with Satan, and are on the left, and did not produce the works in the Millennium age, as recorded in Ezekiel chapters 44-48, will go along with Satan to hell fire and destruction. Those That have accepted Christ and trust in Him and do His word, the righteous souls will enter eternal life.

Hi Tallman,If I may add, first of all, the "SHEEP" Jesus is referring to are "the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel".Jeremiah 50:6 "My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place."Mat 10:5-6 "These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."Matthew 15:24 "But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel."And of course, Jesus also said:John 10:27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:"John 10:16 "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." Now that we have established that the "SHEEP" are the Lost House of Israel, we can properly interpret the passage.That was also a prophecy by Jesus.Ever wonder why here in America we have mainly two groups of people, those that are on the LEFT (politically and religiously) and those who are on the RIGHT (politically and religiously)? Are we not a nation "divided" left and right?Now, can you figure out which one you are?Kim
