Right now we are already divided between those who accept Christ as our Savior and those who don't. In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 25, Jesus told his disciples about the judgment of the nations. "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world,' and to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his angels.'" Now, division leads to final separation between the righteous who go off to eternal life and those who go off to eternal punishment.
