""When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.
Then the King will say to those at his right hand, `Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.'" -Matthew, chapter 25, verses 31-36

the sheep are those that followed jesus in word and in works.
the goats are those who heard the good news ignored it to
their own shame and those that confessed jesus but they did
no works that jesus would have done.....hell awaits.

Ever hear that expression about someone really getting my goat? I think that is because everyone has that bit of goat within them but, with baptism and Holy Communion and the practice of a good Christian life you starve the goat and put it to death on the cross with Jesus so all that is left is the sheep. If you do the other then all you have left at the end of your life is the goat.

Sheep are known for being humble, easily led by a good shepherd. Goats are hard-headed and strong-willed. The sheep depicted in this section of the Bible are humble, good hearted people who gladly follow a good shepherd, Jesus. The goats are those in the world who remain worldly, who stay hard-headed no matter what the shepherd says is best.

The sheep are the ones who followed Jesus, the goats are the ones who followed the ways of the world.

No one with cloven hoofs can type a reponse to this question.
It takes a few fingers to do that.
Sheep say "Baaaaa", using a plosive consonant.
Goats say "Maaaaa", using a nasal consonant.
Obviously, plosive is holy and nasal is evil.
Either goat or sheep can be tasty in a stew of you use the right seasonings.
Allow me to be a human, and we can talk like humans.

This is the judgment of the nations that takes place at Christ's 2nd coming, not the rapture. It follows the great battle of Armmageddon in which all the nations of the earth attack Israel. This judgment has to do with how the nations treated Israel and the sheep are Israel who will convert to Christ as a nation, and those who treated them well. We know very little about this judgment, one of seven in the Bible, but it is really a judgment of people who live in the tribulation era.

God's people are the sheep - everyone else is a goat.

I don't want to give a biblical explanation to this.....but
Goats are very stubborn than any domestic animal i have seen.Sheep are very gentle and meek.if you putsome corn in a basin and place it in your backyard,a lose goat who notices it will manage and get inside your backyard to eat it.
If goats are referred to men,then you can imagine.
Jesus came as a lamb...so meek and gentle.

the sheep are the ones who worship God, and the goats are the one's who worship anything else.

The goats are the people who enjoy life and don't believe in the fictious Jesus. Be a goat!
(Really, do you want to spend all of eternity with *sheep*? It must be incredibly hard to figure out what to do on Saturday night in heaven.)
