On His right hand.

"And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, 'Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world'" (Matthew 25:33, 34 KJV). We read in the Gospel of Matthew that the Lord will come in His glory and all the holy angels along with Him, and He will sit upon the Throne of His Glory. He will gather all nations unto Him and begin to separate them as a shepherd separates his sheep. This is called the judgment of all nations, the second coming of the Lord. The sheep and the goats will be separated. They will no longer be walking together. The sheep will be on His right hand and the goats on His left hand. The King will say unto the sheep at His right hand, "Come and be blessed by the Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you". But as for the goats, they are cast into eternal darkness forever. Only those with faith in our Lord Jesus Christ will be saved during this great time. The believer who stands up in the midst of darkness and proclaims God's good news shall be redeemed and brought into the Lord's Kingdom. The sheep hear His voice. They are acquainted with the Great Shepherd, our Lord Jesus Christ, for they have followed Him all of their lives. He has been near to them and they to Him.  He has shown them great and mighty works, and He feeds them in green pastures right next to the Living Waters, where He takes care of them. His sheep proclaim to the world that He is their shepherd and how wonderful and powerful He is. His sheep will go to those that are hurting, broken, and in need to show them Christ Jesus their Shepherd. God bless you. Amen.
