all these things before entering his glory? Then
Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and
all the prophets, explaining from all the
Scriptures the things concerning himself. Luke

all the angels with him, then he will sit upon
his glorious throne. All the nations will be
gathered in his presence, and he will separate

the goats. He will place the sheep at his right
hand and the goats at his left And they will
go away into eternal punishment, but the
righteous will go into eternal life. Matthew

glory of God the Father. Philippians 29-11
