"Armageddon" = destruction of "Babylon" and must occur prior to the "Millennium" because it involves the beast, which has been cast into the Lake of Fire, by the beginning of the Millennium.
Armageddon prefigures Gog & Magog, but chronologically precedes the same.
The Messianic Kingdom began with Christ, and endures forever...
Meanwhile, the very same Kingdom began small, as a fringe movement involving hundreds, then thousands, then tens of thousands and (by Revelation 7) hundreds of thousands..
Gradually Christianity rose to victoriously spiritually convert the Greco-Roman world and beyond

The 1000-year long medieval heyday of Christianity of the medieval Church and 1000-year long Byzantine empire exemplifies the meaning of the Millennium, as the "Kingdom reigning"
not a new kingdom, but the same kingdom socially dominant
so, yes, the Millennium would be one age of the eternal Messianic Kingdom
after the Millennium, the Kingdom continues, but evidently diminishes to some degree under the onslaught of "Gog & Magog"
