Do you agree that the sheep and goats are gathered before Christ's throne at the same time following His second coming in glory with His angels, as the following clearly indicates?
Matthew 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 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. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
This is so obvious, that I'm going to assume that even you can see that the sheep and goats are gathered together AT THE SAME TIME before Christ's throne. Yet, you somehow have the goats (unsaved) not actually being judged until 1000+ years later. How can that be?
How can it not be? Reward for the saved happens at the second coming but the final Great White Throne Judgement (GWTJ) happens LONG after the second coming. Your issue is that you are not including what Revelation 20 says along with other passages. The only way to get a complete picture is to use ALL of them. The sheep and goats are separate in Revelation 20 also, with the sheep living in the camp of the saints at Jerusalem with the goats living elsewhere through the world. That's what you are missing when you isolate Matthew 25 by itself. Failing to incorporate what Revelation says is Amill's biggest error.
