Those who do not help the 144,000 during the Tribulation are the 'goats' and will go away into everlasting punishment.
Les Feldick teaches that at the end of the Tribulation Christ gathers the surviving Gentiles in Jerusalem and separates the sheep from the goats. The goats—unbelievers who refused to minister to the 144,000 Jewish evangelists—are told, 'Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire.' Although they call Him 'Lord,' they are lost and are sent into everlasting punishment.
Matthew 25:41 — Jesus sentences those on His left to everlasting fire for not serving Him through His brethren.
Matthew 25:45 — Jesus explains that failing to help the least of these is failing to help Him.
Matthew 25:46 — The consequence for those who did not help is everlasting punishment, while the righteous receive eternal life.
In Matthew 25, the King says to those on His left: 'Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels' (Matthew 25:41). When they protest that they never saw Him hungry, thirsty, or in prison, He answers: 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me' (Matthew 25:45). The text then states the outcome plainly: 'And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal' (Matthew 25:46). The Bible itself does not name who 'the least of these My brethren' are; that identification is made by Les Feldick from the broader teaching of Scripture.
Les teaches that the 'sheep and goats' judgment in Matthew 25 is a judgment of Gentile survivors at the end of the Tribulation. The 'sheep' are believers who heard the Gospel from the 144,000 Jewish evangelists and, because of their new relationship with Christ, ministered to their physical needs. The 'goats' are the unbelieving survivors who rejected the Gospel and refused to help the 144,000. Les identifies 'the least of these My brethren' as the 144,000 Jews. He explains that these sealed young Jews cannot be killed but, because they refuse the mark of the beast, they cannot buy, sell, or transact business. As a result, they suffer hunger, thirst, imprisonment, and exposure. Those who do not help them—the goats—still call Jesus 'Lord' but are unbelievers and lost. Jesus tells them they did not do it to Him, and they go away into everlasting punishment.
Les teaches that the 'goats' in Matthew 25 are the surviving Gentiles from the Tribulation who rejected the Gospel proclaimed by the 144,000 Jews. They are unbelievers who survived the seven years but refused to help Christ's brethren. Jesus tells them, 'Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me,' and they go away into everlasting punishment.
Les explains that during the Tribulation no one can buy or sell unless they take the mark of the beast. The 144,000, who are sealed and cannot be killed, refuse the mark, so they cannot buy groceries, pay rent, or transact business. As a result, they—along with other believers—suffer hunger, thirst, imprisonment, and exposure. Help from surviving believers is therefore a life-and-death ministry.
No. Les is careful to teach that the sheep's good works did not earn their salvation. Rather, because they had believed the Gospel from the 144,000 and were saved, their salvation caused them to perform those works. The goats, by contrast, had no saving faith and therefore produced no works of care.
Sealed 144,000 Cannot Buy or Sell
Les explains that the sealed 144,000 and believers face severe hardship during the Tribulation because without the mark of the beast they cannot buy, sell, or transact business.
Believers Minister to the 144,000
Les connects 'the least of these My brethren' to the 144,000 and says the goats—unbelievers—are taken off the scene because they did not minister to them.
The Goats Sent to Everlasting Punishment
Les shows from Matthew 25 that those who did not care for Christ's brethren—even though they still call Him 'Lord'—go away into everlasting punishment.
'My Brethren' Are the 144,000
Les identifies 'My brethren' as the 144,000 Jewish evangelists and compares believers who helped them to Christians in Nazi Germany who hid Jews.
No Unbelievers Enter the Kingdom
Les teaches that survivors who rejected the Gospel from the 144,000 are removed from the scene; only believers enter the Kingdom.
Survivors Brought Before the King
Les says the surviving believers who helped the 144,000 did so because of the love of Christ, putting their own lives at risk like Christians hiding Jews.
No Mark Means Starvation
Les explains that those without the mark of the beast die of starvation or exposure, which is why helping the 144,000 is so significant.
Salvation Produces the Works
Les clarifies that the sheep's care for the 144,000 did not earn salvation; their salvation caused them to perform those works, while the goats go to their place of doom.
Matthew 25:40: And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Jesus commends the righteous because their care for His brethren was care for Him.
Matthew 25:41: Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Jesus pronounces the curse and everlasting fire on those who failed to help His brethren.
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, ye did it not to me.
Jesus explains that neglecting His brethren is the same as neglecting Him.
Matthew 25:46: And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
This verse directly states the fate of those who did not help: everlasting punishment.
Yes. Les teaches that the goats are the unbelieving survivors of the Tribulation who ignored the physical needs of the 144,000 Jews. Jesus says their neglect was neglect of Him, and they go into everlasting punishment.
In Matthew 25 they call Him 'Lord' and ask when they saw Him hungry or in prison. Les points out that they are still unbelievers and lost; they are sent away to everlasting punishment.
