He shall separate the one from the other, as a Shepherd divideth the Sheep from the Goats; and he shall set the Sheep on his right hand, and the Goats on his left. There may be now a confusion and mixture of the godly and the wicked, as Sheep and Goats feed in the same pasture, and they may be all raised together according to the places where they lived and died; but then a perfect separation: good and bad are first gathered together, but the good are drawn into a Company by themselves, but no pure Company, till the great Shepherd will judge between Cattle and Cattle, Ezek. 34.17.
