山羊要进入那为魔鬼和他的使者所豫备的永火
在四十一节，这火是火湖的火（启二十14-15）。“山羊”要在敌基督和假先知（启十九20）之后，魔鬼和复活的罪人（启二十10，15）之前，被扔在火湖里灭亡。这是启示录十四章十节的部分应验。火湖不是为人，乃是为魔鬼和他的使者豫备的。然而，若有人跟从魔鬼反对主，他就要和魔鬼以及堕落的天使，同受火湖的苦。
绵羊要承受那创世以来为他们所豫备的国
绵羊要得创世以来所豫备的国。但在国度时期作王的基督徒，要承受创世以前所豫定的。绵羊的分仅仅是享受神创世以来所创造的。在千年国里将有属天部分和属地部分。属天部分将是国度的实现，父的国。犹太人将在属地部分的中心作祭司，围绕犹太人的将是绵羊，得救的万民作百姓。我们得胜的信徒，要有分于基督属灵的享受，及一切属天的福。我们的享受将是属天、属灵、神圣的。但“绵羊”，复兴之万民的享受，将不是属天或属灵的，乃是神创造地时所给人的福，就是因着亚当堕落所失去的福。我很喜乐，我们在上好的一类，就是君王的一类。犹太人将在属地部分，但我们将在属天部分。我们的分将是运用权柄管理万民。
总结的话
在国度的豫言中，论到犹太人的一段和外邦人的一段，都与生命无关，但论到信徒，教会的一段，却与生命有密切的关系。我们已经指出，我们需要忠信、儆醒、豫备，并且需要智慧、精明。这些都指明我们必须满有生命。生命与我们同在。阿利路亚，我们是生命的人！

The Ending of the Goats — Entering into the Lake of Fire — Matt. 25:41
The Goats Entering into the Eternal Fire Prepared for the Devil and His Angels
The fire in verse 41 is the fire in the lake of fire (Rev. 20:14-15). The “goats” will perish in the lake of fire after Antichrist and the false prophet (Rev. 19:20) and before the Devil and the resurrected sinners (Rev. 20:10, 15). This is part of the fulfillment of Revelation 14:10. The lake of fire was prepared for the Devil and his angels, not for man. However, if any man follows the Devil to oppose the Lord, he will share the lake of fire with the Devil and the fallen angels.
The Sheep Inherits the Kingdom Prepared for Them from the Foundation of the World
The sheep will receive the kingdom prepared from the foundation of the world. But the Christians who will be kings during the millennium will receive what was predestinated from before the foundation of the world. The portion of the sheep will be simply to enjoy what God has created from the foundation of the world. In the millennial kingdom, there will be a heavenly part and an earthly part. The heavenly part will be the manifestation of the kingdom, the kingdom of the Father. The Jews will be in the center of the earthly part as the priests, and around the Jews there will be the sheep, the saved nations, as the people. We, the overcoming believers, will share in the spiritual enjoyment of Christ and in all the heavenly blessings. Our enjoyment will be heavenly, spiritual and divine. But the enjoyment of the “sheep,” the restored nations, will not be heavenly or spiritual. Rather, it will be the blessing God gave men when he created the earth, the blessing lost by Adam’s fall. I am glad that we are in the best category, the category of the kings. The Jews will be in the earthly part, but we shall be in the heavenly part. Our portion will be to exercise authority over the nations.
Conclusions
In the prophecy of the kingdom neither the section concerning the Jews nor the section concerning the gentiles is related to life. But the section concerning the believers, the church, is very much concerned with life. As we have pointed out, we need to be faithful, watchful and ready, and we need to be wise and prudent. All these are indications that we must be full of life. Life is with us. Hallelujah, we are the life people!
