Yes,

Brother George is correct here. This verse is about Christ's judgement of the nations on the basis of how they treated the Jews. It is the ultimate/final fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham and his seed:

1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Genesis 12
King James Bible

"Come, ye blessed of my Father" and "Depart from me, ye cursed" being the tipoffs
