Chapter 25 of the Book of Matthew tells us about the coming of the Lord, and separating the sheep from the goats. Jesus and His brothers are there. It is possible the "brothers," like their Lord, also are on thrones. God's angels are present. All the nations living on the earth at that time are gathered before Christ and His brothers.When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 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. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. (Matthew 25:31-33)This event could take place at the next coming of the Lord, when Christ descends to the earth with His saints, The armies of Antichrist are destroyed. Antichrist and the False Prophet are thrown into the Lake of Fire. One angel puts Satan in chains and hurls him into the Bottomless Pit.Or, it could take place at the end of the thousand-year Kingdom Age, the time of the final judgment of men and angels.I believe the setting is the next appearing of Christ, after the destruction of evil I just have mentioned. The reason I believe the setting is the next appearing of Christ is based on the following passage:God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you. (II Thessalonians 1:6-10)
