Matthew 25:31-46 (Hebrewgospels.com)
“When the Son of ELOAH will come in His splendorous image, and all the messengers with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His image (esteem). And all the peoples will be gathered before Him, and He will separate others from others, just like a shepherd separates the lambs from the kids. And He will set the lambs to the RIGHT SIDE and the kids to the LEFT SIDE. Then the King will say to those who are on the RIGHT, ‘Come in, blessed ones of My Father, and possess the kingdom that was prepared for you from the beginning of the world until now. I was hungry and you gave Me to eat, and I was thirsty and you gave Me to drink. I was homeless and you gave Me lodging, I was naked and stripped, and you clothed Me. I was sick, and you visited Me, I was imprisoned, and you had compassion on Me.’ Then they will answer, ‘When did we see you in hunger and in thirst, and gave you to eat and to drink? When did we see you homeless and brought you in—or stripped, and covered you? Or when did we see you sick and imprisoned, and came unto you? Then the king will answer and say unto them, ‘Truly I say to you, that all the good that you ever did to one of my insignificant brothers, that you DID IT TO ME.’
“And then He will say to those who are on the LEFT SIDE, ‘Separate yourselves from Me, ones cursed of My Father, and go into the fire of Gei-Hinnom, which is prepared for Ha-Satan and his messengers. I was hungry and thirsty when you did not give me to eat and to drink, I was homeless and you did not bring me in, I was naked and you did not cover me, I was sick and imprisoned, but you did not visit me.’ Then they will answer and say, ‘And when did we see you hungry and thirsty and homeless, naked or sick or imprisoned, and did not minister to you?’ Then He will answer them saying, ‘Truly I say to you that every time that you did not do it to some of the insignificant poor ones who BELONG TO ME—also TO ME YOU DID NOT DO IT.’ And these will go into the fire of Gei-Hinnom, but the righteous will go into everlasting light.”
What does the right side and the left side represent?
Ecclesiastes 10:2-3 (Septuagint)
“A WISE man’s heart is at his RIGHT HAND; but a FOOL’s heart AT HIS LEFT, yes, and whenever a fool walks along the way, his heart will fail him and all that he will think of is FOOLISHNESS.”
Ecclesiastes 10:2-3 (AMP 1987)
“A wise man’s heart TURNS him TOWARD HIS RIGHT HAND, but a fool’s heart TOWARD HIS LEFT. Even when he who is a fool walks along the road, his heart and understanding fail him, and he says of everyone and to everyone that he is a fool.”
The wise are those who walk in the Torah and the Torah is love. And love is what they displayed to others, not just talking about it, but putting it into action.
Deuteronomy 4:6 (Samaritan)
“You all see, I have taught you statutes and judgments just as YAHWEH my ELOHIM commanded me, that you should do in the land where you are entering to possess it. And keep and DO THEM, for that is YOUR WISDOM and your cleverness in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes and say, Only this great nation is a WISE and clever people.”
So, the wise are on the right and the foolish are on the left. The right side also represents honor, rank and status, just as we see YESHUA sits at the RIGHT HAND of YAHWEH:
Psalms 110:1 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“YAHWEH says to My Master (YESHUA), “Sit at My RIGHT HAND, until I make your enemies Your footstool.”
We are to walk as YESHUA walked in order to be found worthy of entering into His kingdom, which means we need to be led by the RUACH HA’KODESH (The Set-Apart Spirit) and not the flesh!
Galatians 5:22 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“But the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT is LOVE, joy, peace, patience, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, faithfulness, humility, self-control. Nothing in the Torah stands against such things.”
Nothing in the Torah stands against such things, because you will already be walking in the Torah by the leading of the RUACH HA’KODESH! The actions of the lambs on the right side showed kindness, goodness, and love to others. Those on the left-side walked in the flesh versus the spirit and produced the opposite:
Galatians 5:19 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“And it is perfectly evident what the old nature does. It expresses itself in sexual immorality, impurity and indecency; involvement with the occult and with drugs; in feuding, fighting, becoming jealous and getting angry; IN SELFISH AMBITION, factionalism, intrigue and envy; in drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you now as I have warned you before; those who do such things will HAVE NO SHARE IN THE KINGDOM OF ELOHIM!”
YESHUA warned about this in Matthew 25, and Paul did as well, and those being led by the flesh who will not inherit the kingdom of ELOHIM includes “Selfish ambition”, which is defined as “focused on YOU AND YOUR WANTS AND DESIRES. It centers on what you can get from a person, place, thing, or situation.” Those on the left did not care about the needs of others and only focused on themselves, which is why YESHUA says depart from Me!
Philippians 2:3 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“Do nothing out of rivalry or vanity; but, in humility, regard each other as BETTER THAN YOURSELVES---look out for each other’s interests and not just for your own.”
Those led by the Spirit understand these matters, but the flesh does not!
Proverbs 17:5 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“He who mocks the poor insults HIS MAKER; he who rejoices at calamity will not go unpunished.”
Proverbs 28:27 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who hides his eyes will get curses in plenty.”
He who hides his eyes will get curses in plenty matches what YESHUA said Matthew 25:41: “And then He will say to those who are on the LEFT SIDE, ‘Separate yourselves from Me, ones CURSED of My Father, and go into the fire of Gei-Hinnom.”
Enoch 98:4
“I have sworn to you, you transgressors, as a mountain has not become a slave, and a hill does not become the handmaid of a woman, even so transgression has not been sent upon the earth; but man has created it himself, and all who commit it shall fall under a GREAT CURSE.”
Let’s look at some examples of this being done in scripture:
Verse 35: “I was hungry and you gave me to eat, and I was THIRSTY and you gave Me to drink. I was homeless and you gave Me lodging, I was naked and stripped, and you clothed Me.”
Jasher 41:29-30
“And Joseph called out from the pit to his brothers, and said to them, “What have I done to you, and in what have I offended? Why do you not fear YAHWEH concerning me? Am I not of your bones and flesh, and is not Jacob your father, my father also? Why do you do this thing to me today, and how will you be able to look up to our father Jacob? And he continued to cry out and call to his brothers from the pit, and he said, “O Judah, Rueben, Simeon, and Levi, my brothers, lift me up from the place of darkness in which you have placed me, and look before YAHWEH, and before Jacob my father. And if I have transgressed against you, are you not the sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? If they SAW AN ORPHAN THEY HAD COMPASSION ON HIM, or ONE THAT WAS HUNGRY, THEY GAVE HIM BREAD TO EAT, OR ONE THAT WAS THIRSTY, THEY GAVE HIM WATER TO DRINK, OR ONE THAT WAS NAKED, THEY COVERED HIM WITH GARMENTS!”
James 1:27 (Hebrewgospels.com)
“But the pure service, without lack before YAHWEH the Father, is this: he who goes to visit the fatherless ones and the widows in their distresses.”
Jasher 21:38-42
“And at the end of three years Abraham said, “I will go again and see Ishamel my son, for I have not seen him for a long time.” And he rode upon his camel and went to the wilderness, and he reached the tent of Ishmael around noon. And he asked after Ishamel, and his wife came out of the tent and she said, “He is not here my master, for he has gone to hunt in the fields, and to feed the camels,” and the woman said to Abraham, “Turn in my master into the tent, and eat a morsel of bread, for your being must be wearied and faint on account of the journey.” And Abraham said to her, “I will not stop for I am in haste to continue my journey, but give me a little water to drink, for I have thirst;” and the woman hurried and ran into the tent and she brought out WATER AND BREAD to Abraham, which she placed before him and she urged him to eat, and he ate and drank and his heart was comforted and he blessed his son Ishamel.”
Jasher 22:11-13
“And Abraham planted a large grove in Beersheva, and he made to it four gates facing the four sides of the earth, and he planted a vineyard in it, so that if a traveler came to Abraham he entered any gate which was in his road, and remained there and ATE AND DRANK and satisfied himself and then departed. For the house of Abraham was ALWAYS OPEN to the sons of men that passed and repassed, who came daily to eat and drink at the house of Abraham. And any man who HAD HUNGER and came to Abraham’s house, Abraham would give him bread that he might eat and drink and be satisfied, and ANY ONE THAT CAME NAKED TO HIS HOUSE HE WOULD CLOTHE WITH GARMENTS as he might choose, and give him silver and gold and make known to him YAHWEH who had created him in the earth; this Abraham did ALL HIS LIFE.”
Abraham not only provided for their physical needs, but also provided for their spiritual needs by making YAHWEH known to them.
Isaiah 58:6-7 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“Here is the sort of fast I want---releasing those unjustly bound, untying the thongs of the yoke, letting the oppressed go free, breaking every yoke, SHARING YOUR FOOD WITH THE HUNGRY, TAKING THE HOMLESS POOR INTO YOUR HOUSE, CLOTHING THE NAKED WHEN YOU SEE THEM, FULFILLING YOUR DUTY TO YOUR KINSMEN!”
Luke 10:29-35
“But he, wanting to justify himself, said to YESHUA, “And who is my neighbor’?” Taking up the question, YESHUA said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he was attacked by robbers. THEY STRIPPED HIM NAKED and beat him up, then went off, leaving him half dead. By coincidence, a priest was going down on that road; but when he saw him, he passed on the other side. Likewise a Levite who reached the place and saw him also passed by on the other side. But a man from Samaria who was traveling came upon him; and when he saw him he was moved with compassion. So he went up to him, put oil and wine on his wounds and bandaged them. Then he set him on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and TOOK CARE OF HIM. The next day, he took out two days wages, and gave them to the innkeeper and said, “Look after him; and if you spend more than this, I’ll pay you back when I return.’ Of these three, which one seems to you to have come the ‘neighbor’ of the man who fell among robbers?” He answered, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” YESHUA said to him, “You go and DO AS HE DID.”
Testament of Zebulon 6:4-6
“And so YAHWEH satisfied me with abundance of fish when catching fish; for he that SHARES WITH HIS NEIGHBOR receives much more from YAHWEH. For five years I caught fish and gave of them to EVERY MAN WHOM I SAW AND PROVIDED FOR ALL THE HOUSE OF MY FATHER.”
Testament of Zebulon 7:1-4
“Now I will declare to you what I did. I saw a man in distress, being NAKED IN WINTERTIME, and had COMPASSION on him, and secretly took a garment from my father’s house, and gave it to him who was in distress. Therefore you, my children, should also do, from that which ELOHIM GIVES TO YOU, SHOW COMPASSION AND KINDNESS WITHOUT HESITATION TO ALL MEN, AND GIVE TO EVERY MAN WITH A GOOD HEART. And if you do not have the means to give to him that is in need, have compassion for him in bowels of kindness. I know that my hand did not find the means to give to him that needed, and I walked with him weeping for seven furlongs (7/8 of a mile), and my bowels yearned towards him in compassion.”
2 Kings 4:8-10 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“One day Elisha visited Shunem, and a well-to-do woman living there pressed him to STAY AND EAT A MEAL. After this, whenever he came through, he stopped there for a meal. She said to her husband, “I can see that this is a set-apart man of ELOHIM who keeps stopping at our place. Please, let’s BUILD HIM A LITTLE ROOM ON THE ROOF We’ll put a BED and a table in it for him, and a stool and a candlestick. Then, WHENEVER HE COMES TO VISIT US, HE CAN STAY THERE.”
“I was imprisoned, and you had compassion on me.”
Hebrews 13:3 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“Remember those IN PRISON AND BEING MISTREATED, as if YOU WERE IN PRISON WITH THEM AND UNDERGOING THEIR TORTURE YOURSELVES.”
Acts 24:23 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“But Felix, who had rather detailed knowledge of things connected with the Way, put them off, saying, “When Lysias the commander comes down I will decide your case.” He ordered the captain to keep Paul in CUSTODY, but to let him have considerable liberty and not prevent any of HIS FRIENDS FROM TAKING CARE OF HIS NEEDS.”
YAHWEH expects us to do all of these things as servants of His because they are things, He does for us:
Testament of Joseph 1:4-6
“My brothers here hated me, but YAHWEH loved me. They desired to kill me, but the ELOHIM of my fathers guarded me. They let me down into a pit, and the Most High brought me up again. I was sold into slavery, and the Master of all made me free. I was taken into captivity, and His strong hand supported me. I was OVERWHELMED WITH HUNGER, AND YAHWEH HIMSELF NOURISHED ME. I was alone, and ELOHIM comforted me. I WAS SICK, AND YAHWEH VISITED ME. I WAS IN PRISON, AND MY ELOHIM SHOWED FAVOR TO ME. I was in bonds, and He released me. I was slandered, and He pleaded my cause. I was bitterly spoken against by the Egyptians, and He delivered me. I was envied by my fellow-slaves, and He exalted me.”
As we know those on the left did the exact opposite of these things mentioned above because they lived in the flesh and were only concerned about their own selfish ambitions. So, ask yourself, are you a lamb or a goat? If you are a goat on the left, then it’s time to repent while you can and do the things the lambs on the right do. As always, may YAHWEH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name!
