Revelation 19
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive [záō] into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the rest [loipoí] were slain [apokteínō] with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
apokteínō means to put to death, to kill, to slay, to destroy.
Revelation 20
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they were alive [zao] and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest [loipoí] of the dead lived not again [anazao] until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection of the body [anastasis].
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
The resurrection of the just and the unjust
"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hades delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection [anastasis] of life [zoe]; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection [anastasis] of damnation." (Revelation 20:11-15; John 5:28-29).
Revelation 20 leaves the rest of the dead who were slain when Christ returned - DEAD FOR A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE THEIR RESURRECTION.
ALL Amils have serious problems with their interpretation about the millennium, and MOST Premils have serious problems with SOME OF their interpretations. And the reason why no one can get to what Revelation 20 is ACTUALLY telling us is because ALMOST ALL THE SAINTS have serious problems with their ideas about who has (eternal) life in Himself - and alone will (always) have (eternal) life in Himself
- and therefore who alone possesses His immortality (in Himself), and therefore alone will (always) possess His immortality (in Himself) (1 Timothy 6:15-16; John 5:26; John 1:4),
and who does not.
The difference between Christ the Creator and man the creature gets forgotten when the saints hear the words "eternal life" and "immortality". They forget that eternal life is in Christ and given in Christ to those who belong to Him. Created human beings do not have life in ourselves and therefore will not possess our own immortality in ourselves (1 Timothy 6:15-16; John 5:26; John 1:4).
No one seems to remember that the second death is the destruction of death and hades in the lake of fire, and in-between the first death (Adam's death) and the second death came the resurrection of the dead (Christ's resurrection).
And almost no Premillennialists understand that the resurrection of the body at the time of Christ's return, immortality, and "no more death" go together like a hand in a glove:
"When this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory." (1 Corinthians 15:54)
"God will wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there will be no more death, nor mourning, nor crying out, nor will there be any more pain; for the first things passed away." (Revelation 21:4).
In short, in the minds of most saints, believing that God has given us eternal life and that we will be immortal falls short of remembering that eternal life for created human beings is in Christ alone, who alone has life in Himself, and therefore alone possesses His immortality in Himself (1 Timothy 6:15-16; John 5:26; John 1:4).,
and falls short of the saints remembering who the Creator is as opposed to who the creature is, and what first and original lie - and whose faith in that lie - brought death into paradise in the first place.
TheGog-Magog nations at the close of the thousand years are immortals who will believe the same lie and for the same joke that Adam and Eve fell for BEFORE they sinned and died (which the full details of, are veiled in Genesis). Most of the church already does believe the same lie, even now.

(Gensis 3:4)
The resurrection of the body of created human beings and the immortality of created human beings is not ever going to stop the fact that the Creator is able to destroy both the soul and body of created things in the second death.
"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in gehenna." (Matthew 10:28).
--- I am the vine, ye are the branches. Abide in me, and I in you, because if a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned, and as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. --- (John 15:4-6, verses rearranged).
