@PinSeeker let me put a few more rungs into the ladder to help you understand my thoughts a little easier.
Isaiah 24:21-22 presents the judgement of the heavenly hosts and the kings of the earth. Daniel 7:11-12 speaks of the judgement of the heavenly hosts, i.e. the beasts and the Little horn, whose lives will be preserved for a season, i.e. for 1,000 years. Then in Daniel 7:13-14 which follows on, tells us that Christ will be given dominion over all of the peoples of the earth such that they should worship Him and a kingdom. Rev 19:1-5 speaks of this event which will occur at the beginning of the seventh age.
Christ’s dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed. Joel 3:1-4 also speaks of the Armageddon event and God’s gathering of the Israelite to Himself and Paul indicates that when the fullness with respect to the 2,300 years of the Gentiles trampling God’s earthly hosts, is completed, that all of Israel will be saved. In Matt 25:1-13 and Rev 19:6-10 we are told of the wedding feast celebration in heaven as Israel is gathered once more into relationship with God/Christ.
Satan just before he is judged and is imprisoned in the bottomless pit for 1,000 years gathers his good and faithful servants together to give them the means, i.e. loads of money, to interfere with the establishment of God’s everlasting kingdom and to impede the ability for the people of the earth to turn towards establishing a meaningful relationship with God.
When the 1,000 years ends, around 24 years, by my reckoning, before the end of the Seventh Age, an angel will descend down from heaven to unlock the Bottomless pit so that the judged kings of the earth and the judged heavenly hosts are able to rise up out of the Bottomless pit and do their thing. Initially the Locusts, i.e. the kings of the earth and their armies, will rise up for a period of five months to torment those who do not have the seal of God upon them.
Satan initially goes after the woman who had given birth to the nation of Israel but when that was unsuccessful, Satan then goes to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.
After the Locusts, the four beasts located at the great river Euphrates are summonsed to kill a third of mankind with plagues. They had an army of 200,000,000 men doing their bidding.
Satan goes to Gog and Magog to gather an army to march all over the earth and to finally surround Jerusalem and the camp of the saints.
It seems that at this time the two witnesses will stand up in Jerusalem and after the 42 months of their testimony, the beast that will rise up out of the abyss/the bottomless pit will make war against the two witnesses and overcome them and kill them and they will lie upon the ground for three and a half days and the people will gloat over them and will give each other presents, but after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered the two witnesses, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who saw them. And the witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched them.
During that hour there was great turmoil, and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand were killed because of this turmoil, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
It is after this time that Christ comes down from heaven with an army to make war against the Beast and the False Prophet, towards the end of the Little while Period and they are captured and dispatched into the Lake of fire.
Immediately after the capture of the Beast and the false prophet, Satan is also captured and is also dispatched into the lake of fire.
It is at this point that Christ will once more come on the clouds of heaven with all of the heavenly hosts to judge mankind from what is recorded in the books of life, and those that will be deemed righteous, they will enter into the possession of the earth and those who are judged unrighteous will be cast into the lake of fire.
Then the heavens and the earth will be refurbished and made like new again and we the righteous will come together with Christ to Worship God as His Temple which Christ prophetically stated that he would accomplish in John 2:19. Now, since the Jews caused the Temple to be destroyed, the restoration of the Temple made up from the building blocks of the Saints will be accomplished, after three days of the Lord’s time just after the beginning of the eighth Age of eternity.
Shalom
Yes, we should all pray for true wisdom and understanding, as it is a gift of the Spirit.
