[Shincheonji Doctrine Comparison] Matthew 25 Who are the sheep and the goats?

[Shincheonji Doctrine Comparison] 
Matthew 25 Who are the sheep and the goats?




= Sheep: those who kept the new covenant and commandments / Goats: those who did not keep the new covenant and commandments = 


[Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle]

To conclude, the sheep are those who have kept the new covenant and commandments of God and the goats are those who have not kept the new covenant and commandments of God.

Matthew 25 is a continuation of Matthew 24. In order to understand Matthew 25, we must first know Matthew 24. Matthew 24 speaks of the Second Coming of Jesus and the signs of that time. It says that 'the abomination of desolation stands in the holy place, then flees to the mountains.'. It is a prophecy that 'Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun, the moon and the stars be darkened and fall, after the events of betrayal and destruction, Jesus will come with the angels to harvest and gather the chosen and there will be a work of salvation.'

The 'then' in Matthew 25:1 refers to the time of the Second Coming of Jesus when the events prophesied in Matthew 24 will occur. It is about the qualifications of the saints who welcome the Second Coming of Jesus. 



Matthew 25:1-13 tells who will and cannot attend the wedding of the Lamb. Those who have lamps and oil prepared will attend the wedding feast. But, those who have lamps prepared but not oil will not be able to attend the wedding feast. The lamp is the Bible. The oil that illuminates the lamp is the testimony of the Holy Spirit. A person who sells the oil is the promised pastor of Shincheonji who has seen and heard the events of Revelation. Therefore, in order to prepare the oil which illuminates the lamp, we must listen to the testimony conveying by the promised pastor of Shincheonji. 

In addition, to participate in the wedding of the Lamb, we must wear a wedding garment. Those who wear a wedding garment are the ones who wear a fine linen which is righteous acts with the word of testimony. Those who do not wear a wedding garment are the ones who do not wear a fine linen. 

In verses 14-30, the lord called his own servants and delivered unto them his goods according to his several abilities and traveled into a far country. After a long time, the lord of those servants cometh and reckoned with them, there are those who make a profit and those who do not. Those who made a profit are those who have evangelized with the words of testimony as precious as gold. Those who did not make any profit are those who did not evangelize because they did not realize the precious things even after hearing the word of testimony. 
Also, in verse 31 and below, Jesus gathers all the nations before him and divides the sheep from the goats at the time of the Second Coming when Jesus sits on the throne of glory. 

Those who gave the word when one of the brothers were hungry and thirsty due to not hearing the word of the testimony and those who equips them with righteous act are believers like a sheep who kept the commandments. On the other hand, those who do not take care of brothers are believers like goats who do not keep the commandments.
When the Son of Man comes, it is time when the Son of Man shall sit in the throne of his glory as the world becomes regenerated in Matthew 19. This is the time when Jesus said he would come again if he prepared a place in John 14. The place is the holy city, new Jerusalem. And, this is the holy city, new Jerusalem comes down to a new heaven and a new earth.



This events become fulfilled in the book of Revelation when seven angels of seven golden candlesticks tabernacle that worked in the right hand of Jesus betrayed as in Revelation 2-3 and when there are the events of destruction occurred due to the sun, the moon and the stars being darkened and falling in Revelation 6. And after these things, the creation of the 12 tribes with those who are harvested and sealed in Revelation 7 is Mount Zion in Revelation 14 and Shincheonji, a new heaven and a new earth in Revelation 21.

Here, believers are divided into sheep-like believers and goat-like believers. 

Sheep-like believers are the first fruits of the 12 tribes who keep the new covenant and commandments of God, evangelize after hearing the word of the promised pastor of shincheonji and understanding and receive the blessing of eternal life inheriting the kingdom of heaven which is prepared from the foundation of the world. On the other hand, goat-like believers are those who do not keep the new covenant and commandments, being immersed in old habits, being corrupted, being unchanged. So, they fill their stomachs and do not help the kingdom of God ending up with going into everlasting punishment.

= Sheep: sharing things / Goats: eating only for themselves / Sheep and goats have been decided before the foundation of the world =

[Existing Denomination Full Gospel Church / Presbyterian Church]

<Full Gospel Church Pastor A>
A sheep means one who gives a lot to a poor neighbor. A goat means one who lives in Clover even if the neighbor is poor, the church is poor, the pastor is poor, the saints are poor, brothers are poor because they only care for themselves. 

<Presbyterian Church Pastor B>
It means the one who cares for the poor, the hungry, the thirsty, the sick, the afflicted, the traveler, the naked and the prisoners. It means the Lord. The male and female servants who were served are the sheep and who were on the right. But there are those who persecute Jesus. They persecuted as soon as Jesus came. Those who served the Lord are the sheep. And they were on the right. Those who persecuted and killed the Lord were goats.

<Presbyterian Church Pastor C>
In the parable of the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25, they were divided from the foundation of the world. Sheep and goats come down to this earth after being divided.
