NOTES [49 words]: In Matthew 25:31-46, "When the Son of man shall come in his glory" he will gather the nations, and separate them as a shepherd does. He sets the sheep on his right hand for "life eternal" to "inherit the kingdom," and the goats on his left hand to go "into everlasting punishment." [King James] - BS
