Revelation 20:6

Blessed (happy, fortunate) and holy (set apart for service) is the one who has part in the first resurrection. Over them the second death [being cast into the lake of fire, see verse 14] has no power, but they shall be priests to God and the Anointed One (Messiah, Christ), and shall reign with him a thousand years.
[A period of a thousand years is mentioned six times, see verses 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The word millennium, from the Latin mille annum (a thousand years), is often used for this period of time. Based on prophecies in the Old Testament about a kingdom of peace, and previous verses where Jesus comes on a white horse, see Rev 19:11–15, it seems to be a period when Jesus reigns on earth. It will be a time when creation is restored, see Rom. 8:20–22. Lambs and wolves will live together, see Isa. 11:6. It is a kingdom of peace where swords are beaten into plowshares, see Isa. 2:4. However, it is not a completely perfect world:
People will still die: "Those who die at the age of a hundred will still be called young," see Isa. 65:20. Paul makes it clear that "Jesus must be king and reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet, the last enemy to be destroyed being death," see 1 Cor. 15:25–26. It is only after the final battle with the devil that the earth will be purified by fire and a new heaven and a new earth will come, see 2 Pet. 3:10–13. It is only after the new heaven and the new earth that "death will be no more," see Rev 21:4. Even though Jesus reigns here on earth together with the believers, judgment are necessary, see verse 4. Jesus reigns, but many reluctantly bow to his will because they rebel at the end of the period, see verses 7-9. This view that Jesus comes before the millennium is called premillennialism and is the most common interpretation. In amillennialism (the Greek prefix a means not), the millennium is interpreted as a symbolic time. During the 19th century, when many believed in humanity's own ability to change the world, postmillennialism emerged, which holds that Jesus will come only after the millennium, with a new heaven and a new earth. Until then, the church will have reigned on earth for a thousand years while Jesus is in heaven.]
