1000 Year Reign
Charting the Ages in the Book of RevelationThe battle at the close of the 1000 years (Rev. 20:7-10) must be interpreted as another viewpoint on
the battle of Har Magedon (19:11-21)—
because they both supposedly happen at the Second Coming. Problem: where does the beast fit
in?
This age since the cross and resurrection of Jesus, in
which other NT sources see Satan rampant and evil
prevalent, has to be seen as an age of glory and reign by
the holy ones, in which Satan is bound and
imprisoned. Attempted solution: the martyrs reign
in heaven.
New Creation
Last Judgment Rev. 20:11-15
The defeat of Satan and his armies and his
expulsion from heaven to earth (Rev. 12) must be
read as the same thing as Satan’s capture and imprisonment in the
abyss (Rev. 20:1-3), two scenes that do not match
at all.

Over what do Christ and the holy ones reign for
1000 years (Rev. 20:4)? All the unrepentant were killed at Har Magedon
(19:14-21). Webb Mealy solution: they reign over the living earth, as at the beginning (Gen. 1:26-28)
Where do the nations come from who attack the faithful at
the close of the 1000 years (Rev. 20:7-10)? Webb Mealy
solution: They are the “rest of the dead,” who are consigned
to the underworld and released (by resurrection) at the same time as the devil
(compare Rev. 19:21; 20:1-3, 7-10; Isa. 24:21-23; 26:10—27:5)

New Creation Rev. 21:1
Last Judgment of the unrepentant
Rev. 20:7-10, 13-15
Judgment of the living and the deadRev. 11:18; 19:11-20:6; 20:11-12
New creation cannot be read sequentially in relation to millennium and last judgment (Rev. 20:1-10). On
the other hand, the coming of the new creation and the marriage of the
Lamb most naturally belong at the second coming, not later (Rev. 19:5-9
|| 21:1-2), and Revelation is not sequentially composed, but contains
multiple visions of the second coming.
Judgment is split into two stages (a complication of
premillennialism generally). Rev. 20:12 is taken as the judgment of
the dead at Christ’s second coming (Rev. 11:18), and Rev.
20:13-15 is taken as new viewpoint (this time in courtroom
imagery) on the battle of Rev. 20:7-10 (cf. Isa. 26:10—27:5; Heb.
10:26-27).
Allows the unrepentant to set foot in the new creation. However, see
Isa. 27:1-5, and consider the symmetry of the first temptation and first fall in the first paradise (Gen. 3), paralleled by the last
temptation and last fall in the final paradise (Rev. 20:7-10, set in
context of 21:1-8; 22:1-5).
