Bible Study Matt.25:31-32 “All nations”


When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:/And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another.”


The Son is given all authority in heaven and on the earth.(Matt.28:17)
This verse refers to the Son of man coming in his glory. ‘and all the holy angels with him,’ is the fulfillment of what was shown to Daniel in a night vision. So the Spirit gives us a clue:”And, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him./ And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.”(Dan.7:13-14). ‘One like the Son of man’ refers to the vision. It is the mind of God revealed in human speech. Similarly the night vision is distinct from day vision. What Peter at Joppa saw in a trance was of current events. The gentiles are also part of the church since the outpouring of the Holy Ghost.
Second point is that everlasting covenant is of individuals and not of nations per se. Thus national identity of Israel being in the Mind of God is as much as a lie as the curse of Ham is on account of his color. The covenant is about man whosoever is sanctified in his Son. Thus the imposter church refusing to see truth owes to a strong delusion that they believe in the lie. For it suits them. The blessed is the man” the Ps.1 tells us. It refers to the covenant and the man is created ‘in our image and af ter our likeness’ He is separated as the Parable teaches us, and eternal life is for them. For this reason the covenant begins with separation of light from darkness. v,46 “everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”
