So there are only believers during Christ’s reign? What about Revelation 20:3,7,8,9 & 10 when Satan is released for a short time?
Any other Old Testament references to that?
Here is what I read...
Revelation 19 is the Return, the beast and false prophet go into the lake of fire, all those with the mark are killed.
Revelation 20 Satan is bound and then the first resurrection of those who were beheaded or died for their unwillingness to worship Satan. They reign with the Messiah for the 1000 years Satan is chained.
All other people are resurrected at the last trumpet when those whose names are written in the book of life will live with God for eternity in the new heaven/earth.
4 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

.
Where do you get that idea?
All of the unbelievers, and psuedo-believers that didn’t worship the beast will be there.
NATO’s war machine will of course perish during the battle, as will all who took the mark.
The first resurrection is all of Yeshua’s Bride (all of the true believers, dead or alive at the last trump) It’s not just those that were beheaded.
All of the Bride returns on the day of Tabernacles to reign with him. Remember also that Revelation 20 is an overview of events that were all previously mentioned earlier in Revelation.
