One of the interesting prophecy in the Bible is the gatherings of all nations after the thousand years reigned of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 25:32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Matthew 25:33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
Matthew 25:34 "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
Matthew 25:41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Note that the sheep, that the above verses referred to, are the other sheep that are not included in the sheep pen.
John 10:16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
Outside the sheep pen are expelled members of the church and those outside of the church who are under the mercy and judgment of God the father.
1 Corinthians 5:12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?
1 Corinthians 5:13 God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you."
Let us therefore aim to be included in the sheep pen to have part in the first resurrection.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
Not unless we want to become one of the goats.
