When Jesus separates the sheep from the goats, He will do it with a very heavy heart. Matthew 25:31-33 English Standard Version (ESV) verse 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.” Matthew 25:44-46 ESV verse 44 Then they (the lost) also will answer, 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 (the Son of man) will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, 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 eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” The goats have refused to be healed (Tim Jennings 48:46). Jeremiah 2:17 ESV. God cries “Have you not brought this upon yourself by forsaking the LORD your God, when he led you in the way?” Isaiah 5:4 ESV In Isaiah He says, “What more was there to do for my vineyard, that I have not done in it?” Matthew 23:37-38 ESV. And the Lord Jesus laments, “How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! 38 See, your house is left to you desolate.” Matthew 7:21-23 ESV. verse 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’” Luke 21:25-28 ESV verse 25 “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26 people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” Luke 21: 25-28 The Remedy. The sun, moon and stars will give evidence of the nearness of the end. The planet earth will begin to destabilise, the governments of the world will become worried and struggle to find ways to save the planet, but the oceans will become unstable and storms increase. Humanity will become frantic and frightened, terrified by what is happening to the world, for it will seem as if the laws of nature are unravelling. At that time, the Son of Man will be seen in the sky, powerful and glorified. So when you see these events happening, don’t get discouraged; instead, STAND TALL and look to heaven with confidence, because final delivery is near.
