outsmartthesystem: This is as close as they've come in the latest rags regarding who lives and who dies at Armageddon.
Before completing his conquest, the
Son of man comes in yet another way. He
prophesied: “When the Son of man arrives
in his glory, and all the angels with
him, then he will sit down on his glorious
throne. And all the nations will be gathered
before him, and he will separate people one
from another, just as a shepherd separates
the sheep from the goats. And he will put
the sheep on his right hand, but the goats
on his left.” (Matt. 25:31-33) This refers to
Christ’s coming as Judge to separate people
of “all the nations” into two categories:
“the sheep,” those who will have actively
supported his spiritual brothers (anointed
Christians on earth) and “the goats,” those
“who do not obey the good news about our
Lord Jesus.” (2 Thess. 1:7, 8) The sheep, described
as “righteous ones,” will receive
“everlasting life” on earth, but the goats
“will depart into everlasting cutting-off,” or
destruction.—Matt. 25:34, 40, 41, 45, 46.
