A Slice Down the Middle
“But when the Son of Man comes in His glory and majesty and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. [Rev 20:4-6] All the nations will be gathered before Him [for judgment]; and He will separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats; [Ezek 34:17] and He will put the sheep on His right [the place of honor], and the goats on His left [the place of rejection].” Matthew 25:31-33 AMP
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet which was lowered into the sea, and gathered fish of every kind, and when it was full, they dragged it up on the beach; and they sat down and sorted out the good fish into baskets, but the worthless ones they threw away. So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw the wicked into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping [over sorrow and pain] and grinding of teeth [over distress and anger].” Matthew 13:47-50 AMP

And this day I said to you: You will see the coming of the Son of Man. And people will look and say, “We did not know! He was an unexpected visitor!”
Then the darkness will turn to light and the sun will rise on a new day. And the Earth will be cleansed, and the people will say “Holy is the Lord and good is His Word! He has been faithful to keep it!”
But I ask YOU today: where will you stand on this day that separates? For it will be like a fisherman that fillets a fish. It will be a distinct slice down the middle. There are no gray areas.
