Only Martyrs in The Millenial Reign

[Fidei Defensor]

According to Revelation the only people who reign with Jesus Christ a thousand years are martyrs, in specific the beheaded: 

“4Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their forehead or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.” (Revelation 20:4)

Dear Brother Fidei Defensor, all that are of the Church, the martyrs of Rev 20:4 and/or the righteous from all time will be raised to reign in some manner with Jesus in His Day. We believers will be raised in different groups, or caught up in we call being raptured unto our Savior before Jesus thousand years reign begins.

Just an example are the 24 elders & 4 living ones of Rev 5:10  And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

2Ti 2:12  If we (believers) suffer (endure), we shall also reign with him: . . 

Blessings in Christ Jesus.  :)

Oh I know that there are different groups, those who go through the great tribulation; everything but the bowels of God’s wrath (Revelation 7:14-15, Revelation 14:12, Revelation 13:7, Luke 18:8) those who imprisoned or slain with the sword (Revelation 13:10), those who are matryed  and come with the Lord on the clouds (Revslation 6:10-13, Revelation 19:11-16), those who die before worst of the trib (Revelation 14:13), those who are raised from the dead or changed into new bodies and are caught up and gathered by angels  (1 Thessalonians 4:17-18, Matthew 24:31) and those raised at the Last Judgement (Revelation 20:11-15). 

it is the beheaded martyrs who reign with Jesus for a thousand years and then the devil is loosed for one final battle and defeated once and for all (Revelation 20:7-10). Those who are not beheaded will likely be in heaven and waiting for the New Jerusalem and the Final Judgment (Revelation 21:1-53). 

Revelation 20 and Zachariah 14 go together and clarify one another. Zachariah eve clears up that Jesus rides on the horse of judgement through Jerusalem (Zachariah 14:3 and Revelation 19:11-16) before going to the Mount of Olives and splitting it in two (Zachariah 14:4).
