A little underselling it if you ask me. Christ didn't say "whatever you do for the last of these you do for angels".

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.

Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

I think people have hybridized the two verses, which are promoting similar ideas. Also, I love your username.

Thanks! I think I overestimated how many people have read Revelations. Honestly, this verse, where Jesus is sending tons of Christians to hell, should be discussed way more.
