Pope Shenouda III

The Lord also says: "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say..." (Matt. 25:31-46). The Lord then explains the details of His judgment: the wicked will go to everlasting punishment and the righteous to eternal life.
