Greetings Pilgrimshope
We all see things a little different which probably means we are all wrong in some points. Have you taken into consideration Revelation 20?

“but ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”
Hebrews 12:22-24 KJV
remember jesus telling them this ?
“In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
John 14:2-3 KJV
And then
“So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.”
Mark 16:19 KJV
Concerning the thousand years I don’t see it as a literal thousand years as we see time
“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
2 Peter 3:8 KJV
i don’t think given revelations nature it’s literally a thousand year time period on this earth but measures a long period of time they reign in this place before the end of the earth
This really speaks to what I’m saying
“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.”
Hebrews 11:13-14, 16 KJV
I believe the saints who rose are with him reigning in heavens Jerusalem if you look at revelation you see many people in heaven worshipping while the earth is still active warring with Satan
Heavens realm and also earths realm are shown in revelation I believe Jesus and his saints of the first resirrection are reigning in heaven and again a thousand years represents a long time period sort of like this isn’t literal in my opinion but represents a short time period
“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.”
Revelation 17:12 KJV
I don’t think it’s literally an hour and don’t think it’s literally a thousand years
Bit as you said it’s just my view of it from scripture and others have thoer voews also from scripture
Avery much appreciate the good spirit and tone you present for discussion ,God bless
