When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit on the throne of His glory; and there shall be gathered before Him all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the he-goats (Matt. xxv 31, 32).

This coming of the Lord is meant by the following words concerning Jesus Christ, in the Apostles' Creed: "He ascended into the heavens, He sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead"; and also by this concerning the Lord Jesus Christ in the Nicene Creed: "He ascended into heaven; He sitteth at the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again in glory to judge the quick and the dead; of whose kingdom there shall be no end."
