Sheep.Goats Parable & Millennial Kingdom


A crucial matter is solved by the Parable of the Sheep & Goats: how the rebels of the Millennial Kingdom are produced. 

The Sheep are separated by the King from the Goats. Where do the Sheep go? They are destined to join in their human bodily state the glorious reign of Christ on Earth during His Millennial reign. The resurrected believers arrive with Christ in their spiritual bodies, and they do not reproduce physically. 

Only the Sheep believers have bodies and they reproduce during the years of this Millennial Reign. Some of their progeny/children will rebel against the King. 

This is how the crucial issue of the rebels during the Millennial is resolved. The Sheep provide the solution to this matter.

Parable of the Sheep and the Goats



This parable has been expounded as an encouragement for Christians to do good works like those of Mother Teresa. While social/humanitarian ministry to the poor and needy is good, this is not the teaching of this parable of Jesus in Matthew chapter 25.

The context of the parable is time of the Great Tribulation for the Jews and the believers among the Gentiles {the Tribulation Saints}. During this period of three and a half years the Antichrist will persecute Jews and those Gentile believers who do not have the Mark of the Beast on their foreheads. It is a terrible time for the Jews, whom Jesus calls His brethren, in the phrase "the least of My brethren". It will be a crime to give a drink of water to a Jew; an offence to feed a hungry Jew or to visit a sick Jew in the hospital. The illustration : Corrie ten boom, the Dutch Christian lady, in the book "The Hiding Place" describes how her sister and she sheltered Jews in their house during the Second World War.

The Antichrist government will punish anyone doing any act of good to the persecuted Jews and the Tribulation believers. This is the correct exposition of this parable.
