The Lord said at the time of His returning there will be the sheep on His right and the goats on the left.. I was reading today how His crucifixion between two criminals is written in this way, one on His left and one on His right.. And I thought, aha.. another illustration (and a parable in flesh) that He died for "all" - for the sheep AND for the goats..
{I also think the goats are the tares and also Ps.2:1 "why do the nations rage?" (Rev.13:1) And the fire they are gathered to is to fiery Armageddon, man's final battle and war.. and doings (Zech.14; Rev.19). No afterlife hell sort of lake of fire, just much later "all things made new".. "the elements melt, etc, a new heavens and a new Earth" when the Son hands the kingdom to the Father who is a consuming/purifying fire.." 1Cor.14:22-28
