The document discusses the biblical passage from Matthew 25:31-33 about the Second Coming of Christ. It provides interpretations of some key elements:
- The sheep represent those who are faithful to God and accept Jesus as their savior, while the goats represent those who reject God and Jesus.
- At the Second Coming, Jesus will separate believers (sheep) from non-believers (goats), with the sheep going to eternal life and the goats facing eternal damnation in hell.
- The passage and document encourage believers to watch for signs of Jesus' return, remain faithful to God through prayer and good works, and ensure they are among the sheep rather than the goats when Christ
1. Text; Matthew 25;31-33
But the Son of Man will come in his glory, and
all the angels is with Him, then He will set on
His throne. All the nation will be gather; and
He will separate them from one another, as
the shepherd separates the sheep from the
goats, and he will put the sheep on His right
and the goats on His left.

2. Let us interpret this words from the text
“He will separate the sheep from the goats”
• What is the meaning of the sheep?
• What is the meaning of the Goats?
3. The sheep
• Luke 15:4-7
• “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he
has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-
nine in the open country, and go after the one that
is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it,
he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he
comes home, he calls together his friends and his
neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I
have found my sheep that was lost.’ Just so, I tell
you, there will be more joy in heaven over one
sinner who repents than over ninety-nine
righteous persons who need no repentance.
4. The Goats
Matthew 25
• 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart
from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal
fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For
I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I
was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43
I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I
needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was
sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
