By: Gen. Jim – 10/19/25
Let me define “goats”: Matthew 25:32,33 has Jesus saying, “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.” (NKJV). The Greek word for goats is “eriphion,” means, in the case of the above texts (symbol) “wicked person or persons” (eriphos). There is a 3rd Greek word – tragos – which denotes a he -goat (see Hebrew 9:12,13,19; 10:4, the male prefiguring the strength by which Christ laid down His own life in expiatory sacrifice, otherwise He is called the “Lamb of God.” In Matthew, goat is purely figurative; in v.33, where the application is made, though metaphorically, the change to the diminutive is suggestive of the contempt which those described to bring upon themselves by their refusal to assist the needy.
Jesus says that the goat/goats (those persons on His left hand) are cursed and will be sent into the everlasting fire (v.41); those sheep on His right hand will inherit the kingdom of God (v.34).
What did Jesus intend for His hearers to understand? First of all, Jesus starts Matthew 25 with “the Kingdom of Heaven shall be likened to 10 virgins… (v.1), five of them were wise, and five were foolish,” (v.2). He ends the virgins genre with “watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the son of man is coming,” (v.13).
V.14-30 Jesus gives another, that of the talents – one servant investing wisely; the other servant doing unwisely. He calls the unwise servant “wicked and lazy” (v.26). He calls the wise servant “good and faithful” (v.21). The unwise servant, the unprofitable servant (v.30). The wise and faithful servant got to enter into the joy of the Lord (v.21), as did the 2nd faithful servant (v.23).
What we’ve seen thus far is both wise and unwise virgins; faithful and wise servants and also an unfaithful and unwise servant. Then Jesus begins his genre about the sheep and the goats – all 3 stories are about God’s/Jesus’ servants. In our day, today, they represent servants within the Christian church. So, when I say the church is full of goats, I mean fake, unwise, sinful believers (so-called) who “profess to have believed,” but are in truth, goats! They do not hold to any moral decency but to church doctrine (they mouth it only). Churches are full of cantankerous, creepy, and cunning “goats” ACTING like “sheep.” They carry the stench of the rottenness of carnality. Goats have a very strong smell to them. They play the harlot on God all the while pretending to be sheep and lambs.
[Note: we see the same thing in today’s political/social setting. We’ve got those who claim to be oh, so concerned about democracy – they are right always! – While tearing it to shreds via violent rioting and other crimes/sins!!! Many are “PAID protesters.” They protest/riot over things they know little if nothing about. They get arrested, they get bailed out by the “Left.” the same goes for church shepherds – hirelings (see John 10:12,13). these paid whores care zero for the flock of God. Jesus compares Himself to “the good shepherd” who “gives His life for the sheep” (v.11). The hireling does not care for the sheep. If they did, we would not have a church full of goats, for the true Shepherd would drive them out! He would keep the wolves away. There would be NO LGBTQ plus church today, no woke/politically correct church. No sir! God’s true shepherds would use the sword that cuts and the Holy Fire that Burns! There would be no “baby murdering.” There would be no “fun-in-the-Son” crap that keeps the church folks entertained carnally. There would be no “prosperity perversions” whereby church folks LUST for carnal riches while disdaining spiritual riches. There would be no stench, no corruption, no creepy pedos if churches had real men and women of God. There would be no fornication, drunkards, adulterers, liars, thieves et al if God was allowed to be God. We would have lambs and sheep, good and wise stewards, wise virgins.
Jesus puts forth these parables for our consideration. Why do you think that the bridegroom delays His coming? The bride is not made herself ready.
Churches here in the West STINK of fornication, adulteries, LGBTQ sins. Did Jesus say the unwise/foolish/sinful “believers” would be welcomed into Heaven? He was not referring to non-believers but those pertaining to the things of the kingdom.
Sweet or Stinking Aroma?
This is the question for us today – are we a sweet aroma unto God or are we a stinking stench because of our self-righteousness/self-rottenness? What does the Scripture have to say? To start (N.T.) we find this written: “Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses (lit., manifests) the FRAGRANCE of His knowledge in every place” (2 Corinthians 2:14, NKJV). The KJV reads, “… maketh manifest the savour.” Savour, Gk. (2 Corinthians 2:14) = “osme” = “fragrance” (lit. or fig.), odor, from, ozo = “scent”; as used in v.15 and 16, e.g., “For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ…,” “To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life…” These texts use a different Greek word – “euodia” = “good-scentedness, sweet-smelling,” from “ev-ey” = “good.” Ephesians 5:2 also uses the Greek word osme: “… Christ… given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.”
Christ = Sweet-smelling fragrance; Satan = stinking, rotten odor.
Who do we actually serve, Christ or satan? If Christ, we are to God a pleasant odor; if satan, the stench of the rottenness of carnality.
Where is Our Vision and Our Hearts?
The Scriptures speak to us about the singleness of the eye (e.g. Matthew 6:22 and Luke 11:34 (“eye be single,” “eye is single”); “haplous”(Gk) = “folded together, (fig. “clear”), from “pleko” = “to twine or braid,” i.e. “make into one.” Here are several other texts that use the word “singleness”: Acts 2:46, which speaks of singleness of heart, the Greek is aphelotes meaning “simplicity”; Ephesians 6:5 also speaks of singleness of heart, but uses a different Greek word than Acts: haplotes, “sincerity, without dissimulation or self-seeking.” Colossians 3:22 also uses the same Greek word “… but in singleness of heart, fearing God.”
So, God wants His people to have 20/20 spiritual vision and a sincere, clean heart. If we obtain these, we will be a sweet smell to Him. But lets face the UGLY TRUTH, the modern, PC/woke church is a ROTTEN STENCH unto the nostrils of God (see the O.T.) Amos 4:10 says “… I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto Me saith the Lord.”
God or Tech?
Have you noticed that people of today are literally ADDICTED to tech, I mean both saint and sinner can’t get away from their computers/cell phones etc. Now the “saints” bring this cell phones to church; they receive and send text messages while the preacher is delivering his or her sermon. If these churches were right with God, cell-phones would not be allowed in service. Biblical Christianity has been replaced with Un-biblical churchianity. And the whole nation has Techno-Insanity! … HOOKED on/WIRED UP! Even granddad/grandma are HOOKED. Tech has become America’s #1 DRUG – “Techno-Drug!” Seeking God, fasting, praying, sacrificing are outdated. Tech has become America’s food and drink… feeding the carnal side of man while starving the spiritual side of man to DEATH!
The church (for a Big Part) is just too enthralled with the world to love God with all its mind and heart. Divine Desire are not on the menu these days. No sir! Food, fun, and fellowship with the world is on the menu. The church has gone from being alive, active, and aggressive to being dead, inactive, and passive. But we do thank God for those who refuse to bend the knee to the world, who remain with a single eye to the Lord, a sincere heart that is stayed upon Him.
We live in an age of disruption and disturbance. Every day we hear of mass shootings, huge drug busts, cartel activities, church scandals etc. violent and unseemly conduct all over the nation so much so it is hard to shock the senses – shame, disgrace, outrage, murder, overdoses are totally OUT of CONTROL. The media, aka scandal-mongers, are tickled PINK about all this – they thrive on gossips, maliciously spreading fear and hate, scandalous in itself!
These liars can’t wait to BASH anything good and honorable. They HATE what is holy and decent, hence, they demonize any and all with libelous and defamatory comments, calling it “news.” Every day ICE raids arrest drug dealers, illegals, human traffickers… criminals of every stripe. Pedos are arrested. Money laundering businesses are raided, espionage is on the rise, secret info is tapped into and sold or turned over to America’s enemies. Democrats are calling for “armed” resistance against Trump’s MAGA. Assassination plots against him are discovered almost weekly. Fraud in many democratic circles are being called out. Communist/Islamic men and women are running for state and Federal positions are on the rise. Jew/Christian bashing is on the rise. Emergency action by the POTUS is on the rise as well. As I write the dems have caused a shutdown in government, psychos like C. Shumer and H. Jeffries are the master planners of the shutdown. They both want over ONE TRILLION $$ to hand out to illegals et al. These 2 politicians are sick they aim at, along with many other sickos, causing an insurrection revolution! Then we have sickos like Chicago Mayor, B. Johnson, California governor, G. Newsom (aka New Scum), Ill. Governor, J.B. Pritzker, they all favor illegals over U.S. citizens. Then there is media fallen star D. Leman telling the dems to go buy guns and use them on ICE et al. And there is Lihan Omar (who married her own brother to get into the U.S.!) who favors Somalia over the U.S. (true racist!). Then there is America’s first black/gay POTUS, B. Obama, first class CROOK (who many believe he is married to a trans). He is currently in HOT water with the DOJ. We can’t leave out N.Y.’s Tish James who vowed to DESTROY D. Trump, but is now caught doing what she accused Trump of doing FRAUD etc. We also have racists A.O.C. and J. Crockett who never SHUT their BIG mouths against the whites and Trump, we can’t leave out hateful B. Sanders, A. Schiff, E. Warren, J. Bolton, H. Clinton, B. Clinton, Brennan K. Lean Pierre (Biden’s former Press Secretary, lesbian), J. Biden and whole family, Z. Mamdani, W. Goldberg and all “The View” gossips, racist C. Booker, X FBI director J. Comey, J. Clapper, K. Harris, former V.P. of U.S., racist R. Tiaib, C. Bass, the L.A. CA mayor who is a commie/racist, N. Pelosi, Governor T. Walz, M. Waters, et al = democrats that want to destroy America. One thing they all have in common, described by psychiatry, in LL MD, i.e. Leftists Lunacy Mental Derangement. Their descent into the macabre madness is noted.
Make-Believe Believers
We have them in church la la land as well as in Politics.
The modern woke/PC church is full of goats/tares/fakes/flakes/frauds/fools – all ACTING like “True Believers.” The same is said of the Political camp. The dems (and some GOPs) ACT like they are oh, so concerned with democracy, the American people. HA!! They don’t give a rat’s ASS about the American people: they care about themselves and power, “Make-believe Believers” … FULL of SCHEMES, DREAMS, and DELUSIONS = DEMONS! Counterfeit politicians/Christians – masquerading messengers bearing “good news?” No sir! Bearing dis-information/propaganda/lies!
These pretenders deceive and entice multitudes into the captivity of Hell’s chambers. The backslidden church offers sensuous spirituality that appeals to the carnal lusts. The Bible calls them “wolves in sheep’s clothing” (see Matthew 7:15; 10:16; Luke 10:3; Acts 20:29). Jesus calls them “tares” (see Matthew 13 where tares is mentioned 8 times). “Tares,” Greek zizanion = “darnel or false grain.” Fakes, flakes, and snakes! Both church and state have them. Sitting under these FFS will fill you with disillusionment, despair, and desperation as well as depression. The devil’s devices are destructive. So many in this hour are under the SPELL of the media, churchianity, politics etc. they are driven by demons of addiction, violence, suicide etc. look at the “walking dead” in our cities, zombies with no hope without their dope!
