This matches what Jesus said in the illustration of the sheep and the goats: “When the Son of man arrives in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit down on his glorious throne. And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. ” ​ — Matthew 25: 31, 32.
See sobib kokku sellega, mida Jeesus ütles piltlikus näites lammastest ja sikkudest: „Kui Inimese Poeg tuleb oma auhiilguses ja kõik inglid temaga, siis ta istub oma aujärjele; ja siis kogutakse tema ette kõik rahvad, ja ta eraldab nad üksteisest, nagu karjane eraldab lambad sikkudest. ” — Matteuse 25: 31, 32.
