The rays of light ...Well, the icon is pretty clear. The rays of light from Jesus' throne go out to both the sheep and the goats. They all stand in the presence.

If you read that pericope, you would encounter <BR/><BR/>v. 41 "Then He will say to those on His left, 'DEPART FROM ME, YOU ACCURSED, into the eternal fire..."<BR/><BR/>and <BR/><BR/>v. 46 "And THESE WILL GO OFF to eternal punishment..."<BR/><BR/>[my emphasis]<BR/><BR/>Interpreting an icon in opposition to its Biblical meaning is truly misinterpretation.<BR/><BR/>FrMichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
