Judgment of the sheep and goats

Matthew 25:31-46 The judgment of the sheep and goats comes at the last of the tribulation?That is what I thought.Therefore only believers enter into the millenium.
 
When will Jesus sit on His crown with all glory having put down all rule and authority? Mat 25:31
Who are the angels with Him? What is an angel for that matter?

Jesus deals with nations here; not individuals.
Are the nations saved, or are they righteous in their actions? Mat 25:35-40.

Who are His brethren of Mat 25:40?

Where will those goat nations be sent? Mat 25:41. At this point the lake of fire isn’t a part of the equation because the great white throne judgment has not occurred.

Just prior to the great white throne judgment of Rev 20:11 the following events happen. Just because some are saved in the millennium does not ensure that all are.
Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Rev 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
 
Matthew 25:31-45
The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy[a] angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’

44 “Then they also will answer Him,[b] saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
 
At the end of the tribulation and the beginning of the millenium all will be brought before the Lord God.He will put the sheep on the right and the goats on the left.The above Scripture explains that and why.Therefore only God's chosen will enter the Millennium Kingdom.But these people will be humans and will marry and have children during the Millennium.Some of the offspring will not be faithful to God and will rebel against Him during the Millennium.
