Sheep/Goats Judgement not same as Great White Throne?

A local brother gave a message today on the sheep/goat judgement starting in Matthew 25:21.  He shared that this judgement takes place shortly after the judgement seat of Christ (Bema judgement of believers) and is for those nonbelievers who survive the great tribulation period.  He said that this is diferent than the great white throne judgement in Revelation 20.

I had not realized that the sheep/goat judgement was different than the great white throne.  But now, upon closer reading, I see that the one in Matthew 25 states, "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.  All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats."  There is no mention of the devil and other entity judgement here, as is stated around the final, great white throne judgement.  And that Rev 20 judgement occurs after the thousand year reign (see 20:1-6).

So it appears the Matthew 25 judgement is to determine who (from the nations) will populate the earth during the millennial kingdom. That is, it will be those who showed kindness to even one of the least of Christ's brethren. (see Matt 25:36 & 43)  (BTW - it's amazing that Christ is setting the inclusion bar pretty low here - "even to ONE the LEAST of my brethren"!  What mercy!)

In any case, I'm rather taken back I didn't notice the distinction before, between the judgements in Matt 25 and Rev 20!

How do others see this?

Matthew 26:31-46 Sheep/Goat judgement is nothing more than a "Parable" being spoken to "Herdsmen" of the Great White Throne judgement seen in Revelation 20:11-15

Below in Matthew 25:46 you see the end result of this judgement, "Eternal Life" and "Everlasting Punishment" (The End)

Matthew 25:46KJV
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Matthew 25L46 refers to what happens after the Great White Throne Judgment.  Proved by how it is only then that immortality is given. 

It is a separate event, a thousand years apart, as Jesus is the Judge at the 'sheep/goat' judgment and God the Father; at the GWT Judgment,

Your Claim Is False

Matthew 25:31-46 is a "Parable" using Sheep/Goats in explaining to "Herdsmen" the final GWTJ 

The Final Great White Throne Judgement Below

Matthew 25:41KJV

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:

Matthew 25:46KJV
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

You deny to Jesus His reward of ruling the world for a thousand years.

Your claims are contrary to what the Bible says.

God, Jesus Christ the creator of all things gets a reward to rule in a fairy tale kingdom on this dead and decaying earth?

Big Smiles!

Colossians 1:16-17KJV

16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Explain why Jesus gives the Kingdom back to the Father God, after King Jesus has reigned on earth for a thousand years. 1 Corinthians 15:24, Revelation 20:6b
