Text: Matthew 25:33-34  And he shall set the sheep (figurative) on his right hand, but the goats (figurative) on the left.  34  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

BOTH SAVED AND CLEAN

Numbers 18:17  But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

PASSOVER OFFERING

Exodus 12:5  Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

JACOB TOOK HOLD OF HIS HEEL

Genesis 25:26  And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.

HE TOOK HIS BIRTHRIGHT POSITION

Hosea 12:3  He took his brother by the heel …

ESAU DESPISED HIS BIRTHRIGHT

Genesis 25:32-34  And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?  33  And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.  34  Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.

BLESSED CONCERNED THINGS TO COME

Hebrews 11:20  By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

ISAAC BLESSED JACOB

Genesis 27:28-29  Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:  29  Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.

ESAU WOULD BE CURSED

Genesis 27:41  And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, … then will I slay [murder] my brother Jacob.

HIS DESCENDENTS WILL BE CUT OFF

Obadiah 1:10  For thy violence against thy (Esau) brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

NO MURDERER ESTEEMS THE BIRTHRIGHT

1 John 3:15  Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

HIGH PRIEST OF THINGS TO COME

Hebrews 9:11  But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, …

ESAU WOULD SERVE JACOB

Romans 9:12  It was said unto her, The elder [greater (Esau)] shall serve the younger [lesser (Jacob)].

HAIRY ESAU

Genesis 25:25  And the first came out red, all over like an hairy [8181] garment; and they called his name Esau.

A DIFFERENT WORD HAIRY

Genesis 27:11  And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy [8163, goat] man, and I am a smooth man:

 GOAT, KID

Strong’s 8163 From H8175; shaggy; as noun, a he goat; by analogy a faun: - devil, goat, hairy, kid, rough, satyr.

MT. SEIR, ESAU’S INHERITANCE

Deuteronomy 2:4-5  And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; …  5  Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession [inheritance].

CHILDREN OF MOAB

Deuteronomy 2:9  And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, … because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession [inheritance].

CHILDREN OF AMMON

Deuteronomy 2:19  And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, … because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession [inheritance].

OUR ENEMY IS OF OUR OWN HOUSEHOLD

Matthew 13:38-39  The field is the world; the good seed are the children [sons] of the kingdom; but the tares are the children [sons] of the wicked (wickedness) one;  39  The enemy that sowed them is the devil; …

THEY’VE COME TO CAST US OUT

2 Chronicles 20:10-11  And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;  11  Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.

PROPHESY AGAINST MT. SEIR

Ezekiel 35:2-5  Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,  3  And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.  4  I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, …  5  Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred,…of the children of Israel.

ESAU’S INHERITANCE

Isaiah 13:21  But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs [goats] shall dance there.

IN THE KINGDOM

Matthew 25:31-34  When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:  32  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd (over his flock) divideth his sheep from the goats:  33  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.  34  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

THE GOATS ARE CURSED

Matthew 25:41  Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand (goats), Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting [agelasting] fire (outer darkness, the Fathers), prepared for the devil and his angels: (the lake of fire)

GOATS DO NOT MINISTER TO SHEEP

Matthew 25:45  Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these (brethren), ye did it not to me.

GOATS ARE CUT OFF

Matthew 25:46  And these shall go away into everlasting [agelasting] punishment [2851, from 2849, to restraint, to curb, to cut off]: but the righteous into life eternal.

ESAU REJECTED

Hebrews 12:16-17  Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person (one who treats sacred things with abuse and irreverence), as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.  17  For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
