MATTHEW 25:32 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:”
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. The universal gathering of all nations before the throne is the cosmic scope of the judgment: every nation, not just Israel or the church, stands before the Son of Man. The shepherd-and-separation image draws on Ezekiel 34:17 (God judging between the sheep and the rams and the goats).
