Rev 20 proves two things. Christ's reign with His saints is bound to a thousand years, and that reign expires with a thousand years. It's not just the thousand years that expires, it's that reign that expires.
If that reign is said to be His eternal reign, then the prophecy is that reign expires after a thousand years.
The carnal mind receives not the spiritual things of God's word. In this case the rebellious mind receives not the plain things of God's word.
It's really very simple: during Christ's eternal spiritual reign over all things in heaven and earth, that began with His resurrection, He will also physically reign in His immortal body over all nations of the earth.
