"And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left."
Jesus Christ compares nations not subject to the Law of the Spirit as unfit to his purpose. In his woe to ye discourse he tells the nation of Israel, "Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets./ Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers./ Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" Against the generation of Jesus we have several generations each under the law of sin fulfilling the measure of their fathers. So much so God asks,"To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord,"(Is.1:11) God well knew their heart was astray and when He made Ezekiel his watchman he forewarned him,"But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted." (Ez.3:7) Yet his role was to warn them, "And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord God; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear."(v.11). God sent His only begotten Son and he was rejected for the simple reason there was no place for the word of God in their heart. They belonged to the devil, which was a murderer. They represented darkness so the Gospel says, " In him was life; and the life was the light of men./And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."( John 1:4-5) God is just and merciful."If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." ( 1 John 1:9).
God instituted animal sacrifices "For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins." Without true repentance what was it but mere outward observance? "But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.:(He.10:3-4)
