SUMMARY CONCLUSION:
The Bible appears to be linking “thousand years” to the church. In judgment this thousand years expires, finishes, fulfilled; meaning that God had brought judgment to IT. At the revelation of Christ, there is both judgment as well as salvation. So at the end of the thousand years (death of Babylon) the Elect find redemption as they come out of Babylon while the unsaved church goes into perdition (total devastation).
