After Christ's Second Coming, there is a 1000-year period called the Millennium when believers live in heaven, Satan is temporarily restrained, and the Earth is renewed. Revelation 20 says believers will "reign with Christ" during this time. But what does that entail, and what happens to those who didn't follow God?
The millennium is a thousand-year reign of Christ with His followers in heaven. During this period, the wicked dead are judged, the Earth is desolate, and Satan is bound. Afterward, Christ and His followers return to Earth, and the unrighteous are resurrected, only to be consumed by divine fire. This purges the universe of sin forever (Rev. 20).
