I can't remember which one of his videos this comment was in but near death experiencer Dr. Kevin Zadai was shown himself in the millennium acting as something of an Ambassador to several nations on behalf of Messiah Yeshua -Jesus, (or at least that is how I understood his statement anyway)?!
When I hear that again I will post the link to that message.

Keep in mind that Satan wants to claim rightful ownership to rule this world. In doing so, his team of "principalities and power" genius demons are trying desperately to find ways to set up its own utopian millennial reign before the Lord returns.
They are the reason why maturing Christians face persecutions. For the presence of informed believers always throws a wrench into their schemes designed to deceive the masses. Its why we see promises of socialism ... even Nazism and communism offered as solutions to man's problems. And, if they can defeat (with delusion) man's fear of dying, for a long enough time, they wish to establish Satan on the throne of this earth to prove Lucifer's initial claim of being able to make himself like the Most High as valid.
Its one of the reasons why Satan and his angels are not yet in the Lake of Fire. For, God has allowed for Satan to try to prove himself worthy and justified in his rebellion. In the mean time. God has his faithful few who will always being able to think with the Word of God, in a manner that exposes the sham that the plans of Satan to redeem himself really are. Its another reason why the secular world hates Christianity.
People will live to be a 1000 years old in the Millennium because the Lord will restore the perfect balance to the earth once more. That includes weather and climate.... and disease controlled to keep men alive and happy. Satan can only try to produce drugs and nutrients in attempt to extend human life. But, it takes more than that. It takes the entire package of the earth's functions that only the Lord has the power to restore.
Keep in mind that until Noah's flood it never rained. That water sprinkled up from the ground to water the plants. The atmosphere was entirely different and men lived to be 900 years old in those days.
Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, but streams/mist came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground." Gen 2:5-6
Man's life will be extended during the Millennium because of perfect climate and perfect food and water... As God intended it to be when originally created.
grace and peace...

Turtles seem to be able to live over 300 years, and with medicine understanding
the problems better, we might be able to match that.

You say Satan wants to claim his "rightful" ownership to rule this world". Can you explain?

He offered the kingdoms of the world to Jesus in Matthew 4. God has for a season granted Satan the right to prove himself worthy to be prince of this world. For when Satan brought about the fall of Adam and knocked Adam off his throne given by God? Satan at that point felt he proved himself more worthy than Adam to have dominion.
Its also why Satan appeared with the other angels in the book of Job. He was there to try to vindicate himself by proving Job would curse the Lord to his face (like Lucifer did to the Lord) if Job got treated the way the Lord disciplined Lucifer in the Lord's attempt to make Lucifer repent. Instead of repenting, Lucifer cursed the Lord to his face. Lucifer always felt that anyone else would have done the same thing if they were made to hurt the way the Lord made Lucifer hurt while disciplining him as a son... Well? The Lord sadly allowed Satan to hurt Job. One big difference. Job did not deserve the suffering like Lucifer did. Just the same.. Job put Satan to shame. Another notch in Satan's appeal case was put to rest when Job refused to curse God.
Its very interesting to be shown what is going on behind the scenes. It begins to make sense why Satan and his demons have been granted time before judgement, while Satan's appeal (as his own attorney) continues to the point when every excuse Satan has to offer becomes squashed and buried by God's righteousness. God uses us as his witnesses, like Job was called to bear testimony before God and angels.

Some of the faithful people in the Millennium will live 1000 years. That does not mean its the limit to how much they can age. They most likely could live for much longer in God's perfect environment. They only stop living in the same bodies because the Millennium is to serve a specific time and purpose in God's plan.
God will end the Millennium by destroying this planet and the universe by nuclear fusion... and create a new - new heavens and earth. The home of righteousness. 300 years? To them that will seem like a person never finished elementary school. 300 years is peanuts compared to the potential God could give to man.
When the Millennium ends, all believers alive during the 1000 years will then be given their resurrection bodies. Bodies that never can die.
In the mean time.. Its not happiness in this present world to live three hundred years. Just say you could, and were born two hundred years ago? You would have lived to see all the wars and sufferings and atrocities committed by men during that time. Now is not a great time to be living a very long life...
Just live long enough to complete the Lord's will, and get me out of here! How could anyone prefer this world over what is in store in Heaven? If it were not for God's grace and comfort? All believers would be miserable made to stay here while being a child of God. In this distorted world without God's grace we all would be depressed and tempted to commit suicide. Some of us understand going through that valley. Its used by God to instill an even greater capacity for walking in truth and grace. One many would not ask for if we had a choice. We can not come through it unless God provides more truth and grace. Staying in baby Christian doctrine is not an option. Its a matter of sanity or misery. God will not require of us anything that He has not made full provision for. The truth will be there...

The new earth will be the home of all OT saints and Millennium saints in their resurrection bodies.
Jesus told us that He prepared a home for His Bride in Heaven!
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God;
believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms;
if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going
there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come back and take you to be
with me that you also may be where I am. Jn 14:1-3

We will commute and reign over the earth with the Lord. But, His throne is in Heaven. He will have a throne to sit on on earth (the throne of David) as to rule the earth for 1000 years, and forever on earth. But our home (citizenship) is in Heaven! We will have unique resurrection bodies different form the OT and Millennium resurrection bodies... We are the Bride. They are not.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,God's special possession, that you may declare
the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." 1 Pet 2:9
But our citizenship is in heaven (not the new earth).
And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. Phipns 3:20

We (the church) will reign with Christ in our resurrection bodies. The people on the new eternal earth will be reigned over by the Lord and His Bride. There is a big difference between the Church and all other resurrected believers throughout history.

All believers in the future will be resurrected. But only the Church... His "Bride," will have a body just like His own.
The resurrection bodies of all other believers who are not the Church, will have bodies that will live forever, but not of the same kind of exact body as the glorious body owned by the Lord Himself.
Our resurrection bodies will be of Heaven.
The first man was of the dust of the earth;
the second man is of heaven." 1 Cor 15:47
the second man is of heaven." 1 Cor 15:47
All other believers who lived outside of the Church age, will have their eternal home on the new earth. Their bodies will consist of the elements of that new earth, like Adam's was of this earth. But, ours? It will have a heavenly body - a glorious body - just like The Lord Jesus Christ is manifested in forever more.
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior
from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables
him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly
bodies so that they will be like his glorious body." Philpns 3:20-21

Yet... You could. It requires study which I am sure you would have no problem with. First look over the Scriptures you have been given.
For example... John the Baptist (who died before the church age began) claimed to be a friend of the Groom. Yet? We of the Church age have become a new creation in Christ. Unlike John the Baptist (who was an OT saint) we are called to be the body of Christ. To become bone of his bone, and flesh of His glorious flesh.
OT saints, those saved and died before the Church age began, were awaiting the Messiah who was to come to earth to reign *over* them.
In contrast to them? We have been called, not to have the Messiah reign over us. But, for the faithful in the church who will be qualified? To rein *with* Him. After all? The King's Bride also has a reign of her own...
To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end,
I will give authority over the nations." Rev 2:26
I will give authority over the nations." Rev 2:26
Only faithful believers in the Church age. Those who continue growing in grace and knowledge, will in the resurrection be given crowns to reign with Christ over the nations of the Millennium. To reign with Him! Too many want to never grow and argue all their lives about water baptisms and losing ones salvation, or not. Maturity exceeds that and moves on into the meat of God's Word where God feeds his grace believers to grow and become strong in knowledge and love.

Or.... could the coming down of the New Jerusalem....... make the fully restored earth...... heaven?
Revelation 21
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more.
2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven of God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God: 4 and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are passed away.
5 And he that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith, Write: for these words are faithful and true.
6 And he said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [shall be] in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
9 And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God: her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal: 12 having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written thereon, which are [the names] of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And he that spake with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: the length and the breadth and the height thereof are equal.
17 And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
18 And the building of the wall thereof was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto pure glass.

I was confused for quite a time until a pastor showed us that there is not be only one new heaven and earth. But, two. First one for one thousand years that Isaiah described - 'the lion will lie down with the lamb and eat grass.." (Isaiah 65:25)....
And, there will be the final and everlasting new heavens and new earth. One to come after the new heavens and earth of the Millennium. Two different "new heavens and earth" are in the future!
There will be a final new heavens and earth. Which will replace the 1000 year Millennial reign on the earth ruled by Christ.
The final one will be created after the heavens and earth (Millennium) are burned up by the Lord.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies
will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed." 2 Peter 3:10
will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed." 2 Peter 3:10
Myself and others had often times become confused by imposed what is intended for one era upon the other without realizing it. It gets very confusing that way.
There are to be TWO new heavens and earth! One will be for only 1000 years. The final one wil be forever!
