No matter how you interpret terms and pronouns in Bible-passages relevant to the coming of Messiah and His Kingdom, you have to deal with the fact that all such passages connected the ultimate hope - the future resurrection - with that Day.
You also have to deal with the fact that Matthew 25 is part of the same discourse as chapter 24 - it's not a separate discussion. And it describes people of all nations being judged - eternally - not just in a poitical way.
Both of those things did not happen at the Ascension, nor on the Day of Pentecost, nor during the lifetime of Caiaphas nor his cohorts, nor at the death of Nero, nor in AD70 or thereabouts - but we know both of those things will happen at the judgment following the resurrection when the Lord comes.
