Well, just read Rev 20. There is no evidence that anyone will believe during the MK. We don't have to speculate about "what if...".
When the Bible is silent about something, why would I need a verse? It is just speculation about what "might be" when the Bible doesn't address something.

I don't speculate. I do look at trends IN the Bible. Unbelievers who survive the Tribulation have been REFUSING to repent, in spite of the intensity of God's wrath.
That didn't move them. So why would Christ's reign move them? I don't know, and the Bible doesn't say.
29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
Rev 20-
7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison
8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore.
9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
Sounds like ALL of them, not just some or most of them.

Anyway, if there were going to be believers from the MK, the Bible flatly states that there will be one resurrection of the saved, which occurs when King Jesus returns to earth for the MK. So it would seem that those MK believers wouldn't get glorified bodies. That doesn't make sense to me.
11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. (NKJV)
