The big error the Dispies and Premills make is in thinking the 1000 years is the kingdom reign of Christ. But in scripture it instead depicts the complete binding of Satan during the New Covenant era by the gospel. And Satan attacking the church with his lies when loosed in a post Christian era such as today. "Armageddon" is the end of the world.very thoughtful & insightful !
The key word is "reigned".
From Christ onwards, believers -- initially relatively few in number -- were a spiritual "nation of Priests".
During the Millennium, believers -- many many in number -- become a spiritual "nation of Priests"... in charge of society & culture.
The only difference is "reigned".
Same Church of Christ at the core... it just grows & grows until it takes
"leaving no Church on earth for Satan to attack" -- very astute observation!
I think we're agreeing -- Armageddon vs. Babylon (1 city) and the defeat of the Beast (1 empire) occur before the Christian Millennium, whereas Gog & Magog arise afterwards
The Church ebbs & flows, rises & retreats... but a remnant is prophesied to survive through to The End on Final Judgement Day before the arrived Great White Throne.
