“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:”
29

For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

30

And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

31

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 divideth his sheep from the goats:

33

And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Future Fulfillment

There is no credible counter-argument that this verse does not describe a future event, as the language "When the Son of man shall come" explicitly places it in the future. The verse clearly describes an event that has not yet occurred and is tied to Christ's return, directly aligning with the definition of "Future Fulfillment."

Sequential Timeline

While the verse describes events, it does not explicitly state that these events occur in a sequence relative to other prophetic events, only that they will happen when the Son of Man comes. The verse itself is a single event, not a sequence of events.

Judgment at Resurrection

The verse describes the Son of Man coming in glory with angels and sitting on a throne, which are elements often associated with judgment, but it does not explicitly mention "resurrection" or directly state that judgment occurs *at* a resurrection.

Timing of Judgment

The verse describes the Son of Man's glorious return and enthronement, but it does not explicitly mention "judgment" or provide any temporal markers that would directly link it to the "millennium" or its timing.
