AC 4807 - Matthew 25, judgment day

But when the Son of man shall come in his glory,
and all the angels with him,
then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:
and before him shall be gathered all the nations:
and he shall separate them one from another,
as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;
and he shall set the sheep on his right hand,
but the goats on the left.
(Matthew 25:31-33)

AC 4807
The reason reason why the Lord so spoke, is that He spoke here, as everywhere else in the Word of the Old and the New Testament, by representatives and significatives; for to speak by representatives and significatives is to speak at the same time to the world and to heaven, or to men and to angels. Such speech is Divine, because universal, and hence is proper to the Word.

Wherefore they who are in the world and care for worldly things only, do not apprehend anything else from what the Lord says here concerning the Last Judgment than that all are to rise again at one and the same time, and even that the Lord will then sit upon a throne of glory, and will speak to those gathered together according to these words.

But they who care for heavenly things know that the time of every one's resurrection is when he dies, and that the Lord's words here involve that every one will be judged according to his life, thus that every one carries his judgment with him, because he carries his life.
