The Lord bless you for you honesty and your desire to know. Discernment of what is meant to be literal and what is symbolic, comes from becoming familiar with the book of Revelation by studying it and the related books and scriptures regarding end-time events. However, there is information that is made plain to the reader, the literacy of a thousands being one of them.
As I continue to proclaim, the book of Revelation should be read in the literal sense until a symbolic sense is obvious. An enormous dragon with seven heads should alert the reader immediately that a symbolic interpretation is required. The meaning behind the symbolisms are for the most part, revealed right in the Revelation itself. For example, the seven heads and the ten horns of the dragon, are revealed in Rev.17. The symbolism of the sun, moon and stars regarding the woman of Rev.12, is revealed in Genesis 37:9-10.
Just keep on praying about it and continue to read the book of Revelation and the Lord will reveal what is literal and what is symbolic.

Rev 7:14 I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
If we place the Great Tribblelation as the period of 66-70 AD and we understand that they are the firstfruits "unto God and the Lamb" during the 1st century then they reigned with Christ for a "symbolic" thousand years
Rev 14:4 These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they have kept themselves chaste. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been purchased from among men as first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
Rev 1:6 and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 2:9 But you are chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
Peter is addressing the "diaspora" of the tribes of Israel as was James:
1 Peter 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen
James 1:1 James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad: Greetings.
