Those that hold to the theory that we are now living in the 1000 year reign of Christ must first Assume that the resurrection has already taken place.
Paul in one of his epistle called that heresy.

The so called1,000 years reign of Christ on this sin cursed earth is alien to the Bible. You will NOT find a passage that teaches such! Not even in Revelation 20 where most people go and Assume that there be a 1,000 years reign of Christ on earth. It Is Not Taught In Scripture!!!
Especially after reading Matthew 24:29-33; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17, that is, where are you going to place the 1,000 years reign of Christ....
1) Before He destroys this world???
2) Or, before the rapture (catching up) of the saints in the clouds???
Can you and most of Christendom see now that Scripture does not teach a 1.000 years reign of Christ on this sin cursed earth?

Well as the blk of the description of the earth when Jesus returns and begins His reign is found in the OT, you should look there. He restores most of the devastated earth(as a result fo the events of the previous 7 years) to near Edenlike condition.
And as it plainly and unambiguously states in Rev. After the 1,000 years are ended, satan is loosed and mounts one last assault on people on the earth!
As of now, all I can read from your post is your opinion. Chapter and verse, please.
Where do you read that? In fact it is the opposite! Genesis 3:15 reads:
"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."
Satan was bound for a thousand years when Jesus went to the cross. We read in Matthew 12:29: And now it is almost two thousand years, is he still bound?
"Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house,"
When did the strong man's (Satan) house plundered and his goods spoiled?....AT THE CROSS!!!
Jesus was taken up and received in a cloud (Ac 1:9) REMEMBER THIS!
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 reads:
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Now, where are you going to find a place for a 1,000 years reign of Jesus on this sinful earth on His return, seeing there are no possible way it could happen according to Acts 1:9 and 1 Thessalonians 4:17???

Satan was not bound a thousand years when Christ died on the cross. He was loose and causing havoc til now. He wasnt around in 70 A.D ?

The Garden of Eden Fall story says that Satan was there from the start, and he is still around until he is judged in our near future when he will be locked up in the Bottomless pit for 1,000 years until he is released for the Little While period when Christ will dispatch him into the Lake of Fire.
So Satan is around for seven ages, except for the 1,000-years his is imprisoned, when he is not able to exercise any direct earthly influence on the peoples of the earth.

7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Too bad Peter an Paul didn't get your memo, for they warned of the Devil roaming on earth! Certainly they had no clue he was bound.

I would imagine that the first resurrection would have to be complete prior to the the millennium, as they serve as Kings and Priests in that Kingdom. The resurrection of the earthly part of that Kingdom should start soon after it's establishment, logically anyway.

It's that simple.
We can always tell false doctrine, when the simplicity of Bible prophecy is rejected for something that takes paragraphs of explanation.
With some Greek or Hebrew spices sprinkled in to make it look 'scientific'.
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
