How can there be tons of people after Jesus comes when He takes the saved with Him, the living wicked are dead and the rest of the dead remain dead until the 1000 years and the earth is destroyed until it is remade after the 1000.
Because none of that is biblical. Jesus comes here with all the saints, not take them away. There are many unsaved peoples of the nations which are ruled over during the thousand years. They are alive and cared for according to the Greek word "rule". When released Satan will go to these people and deceive them.
The wicked dead are all over the world---everywhere, more wicked than saved. When they are resurrected they come up where they laid---from everywhere and Satan gathers them together. Until the wicked are resurrected---there is no one on this earth.
Scripture says otherwise. There are so many of these unsaved peoples that they are as the sands of the sea and this is before the resurrection of the unsaved.
Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are
in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Rev 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
All of the above scriptures are before the resurrection of the unsaved.
Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
The unsaved are resurrected at the timeframe of verse 12. These are the "rest of the dead lived not again" group of the dead not resurrected in the first resurrection.
