This is WAY bigger than the machinations of man, earthly kings and government.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

Sheep are welcomed into eternal life; goats are cast into eternal punishment.
