6. The 1000 years will be concluded with the Great White Throne Judgment of unbelievers.

Rev 20:11… Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works…And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
