The entire period between the ascension and return of Christ is the millennium. Christ is ruling now over a spiritual kingdom that will be immediately raptured at His return, and the new heavens and earth will then be in place.
This millennial kingdom’s temple is our bodies
1 Corinthians 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
When Jesus came, he eliminated the need for a temple (building) being in a single location. Christians became the temple of God, a house for his Holy Spirit. Because of his blood that made us clean, we can now be considered pure and holy enough to have God’s Spirit live in us.
Amillennialism is the position on eschatology that the “tribulation” period is 1st century history and that things will mostly continue as they are until Christ returns, with the gospel spreading widely in some places and being resisted in others. Which means that the millenium is much longer than an actual one thousand years
The Greek word in the bible translated as ‘thousand’ is choloi which actually indicates many thousand. The singular for thousand would have been chilias.
2 Peter 3:8 Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your ...
But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.
Amillennials do not look for signs of a great tribulation to come, we look for Christ. Maranatha

Rev 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 lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
The Holy Bible: King James Version. (1995). (electronic ed. of the 1769 edition of the 1611 Authorized Version., Re 20:4). Bellingham WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.
In Rev 20:6 Is clear the the thousand year reign is after the "first" Resurrection, the Resurrection of the saints.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with the Resurrected saints those who sleep in Jesus referring to 1 Thessalonians 4:14)
The millennium reign will be spent up in heaven in the New Jerusalem the city that Jesus goes to prepare for us in John 14:2), the only way that Satan can not deceive the nations any more till the millennium is done Rev 20:3 is if the Earth is empty. Meaning the unrighteous are destroyed "Dead" by the brightness of his coming 2 Thess 2:8) and all the saints are resurrected and those who remain on earth at the second coming will be caught up together with the resurrected, therefore the earth is empty no way for Satan to deceive any nation until the millennium is over.
If there is a first Resurrection for the Saints then its logical to note that there will be a 2nd Resurrection of the wicked (the dead that stand before God in Rev20:12) . Because after the millennium is over Satan will be released from his prison Rev 20:7 to deceive the nations witch are on the earth still. Then after this 2nd Resurrection (the wicked) they see the City of God Coming down from heaven Rev 21:2 with all the saints in it and go to make war and surrounded it and camp Rev 20:9. Then God cast Satan and all the wicked in the lake of fire for they have been judged Rev 20:12 . Then God will be able to wipe away every tear from our eyes and their will be no more sin and death and the world will be remade!
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that is part of the first resurrection!
