Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: I. THE VAST ASSEMBLAGE. 1. All the holy angels. 2. All nations. 3. All classes. 4. All ages. 5. All characters. 6. We shall be there. 7. All must obey the summons. Each must answer to his name. II. THE FINAL SEPARATION. 1. Here, this separation is impossible. The tares grow with the wheat. 2. Here, while many unions are injurious, many separations are painful. There, all will feel that the separation is right. 3. It will be based on character. Here wealth, etc. sunders men. There, all will belong to one of two classes — sheep or goats. 4. Viewed from our present standpoint, many of those separations will be painful, III. THE SOLEMN SENTENCE. 1. Even to the good. 2. Still more to the wicked. There will be no reversal of the sentence. 3. Execution will promptly follow the sentence. (J. C. Gray.)
