When do the events of Revelation 20 take place?

The events of Revelation 20 take place at the end of the tribulation and during the millennial reign of Christ. The kingdom has come in, Christ rules for a thousand years, and after those thousand years are finished, the great white throne judgment occurs.

Les teaches that Revelation 20 is set at the end of the tribulation and the millennial reign of Christ. The kingdom has come in and will rule and reign for a thousand years. In verse 5, John writes that the rest of the dead—the lost who have not experienced resurrection—live not again until the thousand years are finished. That is when the great white throne will come about. The first resurrection is only believers, from Adam clear down to the end of the tribulation, and the second death has no power over them.
