You were saying ...

I don’t know, ST...it seems to me that this judgment comes at the end of the Millennium?

That description is the description of Jesus, the Messiah of Israel's second coming. That sounds like the beginning of the Millennium to me.

Matthew Chapter 25

31 "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy 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.

Listen to the beginning of the Millennium and the end of the Millennium from this passage...

Revelation Chapter 19

11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat
on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and
makes war.

12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many
crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.

13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called
The Word of God.

14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean,
followed Him on white horses.

15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should
strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.
He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty
God.

16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF
KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud
voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, "Come
and gather together for the supper of the great God,

18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the
flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them,
and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great."

19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies,
gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and
against His army.

20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who
worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received
the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were
cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

21 And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the
mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with
their flesh.

Revelation Chapter 20

1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the
bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and
Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;

3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a
seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the
thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be
released for a little while.

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed
to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their
witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the
beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or
on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand
years.

5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years
were finished. This is the first resurrection.

6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over
such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God
and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from
his prison

8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners
of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose
number is as the sand of the sea.

9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of
the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of
heaven and devoured them.

10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and
brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be
tormented day and night forever and ever.

You can see what happens at the end of the Millennium is a completely different situation than what happens at the beginning.
