Yes symbolic terms (Sheep/Goats) used to explain a literal event is called a "Parable" that you denied, but now acknowledge, smiles!Same with Matthew 25. There are a couple of parables, then the literal event explained with symbolic terms. Everlasting life is still Everlasting life both literally and symbolically. No those are not literal sheep. They are literal Israelites. You do understand there are still Israelites scattered throughout all nations? Not all of them have immigrated to Israel. Under current covid restrictions some cannot even leave the country they are in, much less change where they live.
Matthew 25:31-46 is nothing more than a "Parable" to "Herdsmen" using sheep/goats in explanation of the Great White Throne judgement seen in Revelation 20:11-15
Yes Matthew 25:46 clearly shows this "final judgement", eternal life, eternal punishment, (The End) with no Millennial Kingdom on this earth following as many claim
Matthew 25:46KJV
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
