Do not be associated with a goat
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 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.
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
(Matthew 25:31-46)
In the above passage, Jesus makes a clear distinction between the sheep (those who practice generosity) and the goats (those who don’t practice generosity).
As we move towards the critical stage of the end times, generosity from the Christians will become more and more relevant due to the current and upcoming economic crisis that will fall upon the world. Various passages of the Scripture predict severe global economic crises in the form of famines ( ref: Matthew 24:7) and such predictions indicate the greater need for Christians to prosper in order to be more generous.
Notice in the passage of Matthew 25:32-46 that Jesus compares the people who don’t practice generosity as ‘goats’. Here is a pertinent question:
“Do you know that Satan and devils are often portrayed as goats?”
You can go check it out. Go do your research. Devilish entities such as ‘Baphomets’ and many others are represented as goats. Even the satanists represent Satan as a goat.
In Matthew 25:31-46, the stingy are labeled as goats. Even more surprising is the fact that some people brag about their ‘stinginess’, and yet they call themselves Christians.
It’s in the nature of Satan to be stingy and he brags about it, his satanist followers brag about it.
Why would any Christian want to be associated with the picture of a goat by being stingy?
There is nothing glorious about being stingy.
