The following are the thoughts of a hybrid view in Amillenialism. By using the whole of the KJV biblical context, Rev. 20 should be interpreted by Paul's recommendation of "comparing spiritual things with spiritual".
Please read the following non-stop, so that you may perceive the fluidity of Rev. 20.

Rev. 20
[1] And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
[2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years ["in chains of darkness"- 2 Peter 2:4, during this present Age of God's Grace and longsuffering],
[3] And cast him [permanently out of the way of God's own presence] into the bottomless pit [this earth, the place of satan's endless grave], and shut him up [having no more access into heaven, God's Light, or anyone of God's ownership 1 John 5:18],
and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more [as he did do in the past concerning Job 1:7, 11; 1 John 5:18], till the [figurative] thousand years [of God's Grace and His longsuffering] should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season [which began in the mid-1800's and onward. At that time, the "increase of knowledge" is very visible of satan's release, who is "the prince of the power of the AIR", being that of this earth's atmosphere, aka the first heaven.
What are "microwaves"?
[4] And I saw [symbolic] thrones [Luke 22:29-30], and they [of Christ's kingdom] sat upon them, and judgment was GIVEN unto them [as Ambassadors of the Lord's judgment- 2 Cor. 5:20; John 3:18; Rom. 8:9, judging also the 12 tribes of Israel- Mat. 19:28; Luke 22:30; John 3:18]:
and I saw the souls of them that were
1. beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and
2. [those beheaded] for the word of God, and
3. [those beheaded] which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands;
4. and [during their life times] they lived and reigned with Christ a [figurative] thousand years [during the Age of God's Grace and longsuffering].
1. The Early church.
2. The Mid church.
3. The End church.
4. All born again Christians, during their lifetimes, have been reigning with Christ as his ambassadors, during the figurative 1000 years of God's Grace and His longsuffering. 2 Peter 3:9, 15
[5] But the rest of the dead [who died in faith of Christ] lived not again [in Immortally] until the [figurative] thousand years were finished [expired].
This is the first resurrection [to be born again, spritually risen with Christ, by the Holy Spirit, being a NEW creature/creation after Christ's resurrection, who is literally Himself the very First resurrection]. John 3:3-8; Col. 2:12, Col. 3:1; 2 Peter 5:17.
[6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part [as "partakers of the divine nature"- 2Peter 1:4] in the first resurrection [being Christ Himself]: on such the second death hath no power, but they [who are in Christ, who have been on the earth, and those of us who are now here on the earth] shall be priests of God and of Christ, and [each who are born again] shall reign with him [during] a [figurative] thousand years [during this present Age of God's Grace and His longsuffering. See also 1 Peter 2:9]
[7] And when the [figurative] thousand years [of God's Grace] are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison [ever since the 1800's AD to this present day].
[8] And [satan] shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, [symbolic of] Gog and Magog, being all the living unsaved], to gather them together ["in bundles"] to battle ["to be burned"]: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. [being all the living unsaved, who will be found to have taken "the mark of the beast", upon Jesus' fiery and Glorious return-] Mat. 13:30; Luke 17:28-30; 2 Thes. 1:7-10; 1Rev..13:16-17.
[9] And they went up on the breadth [entirety] of the earth, and compassed the "camp" of the saints about [to lead each saint into captivity, being they who are God's dwelling places, His individual mortal "tabernacles"**, aka temporary shelters, "booths", a "camp", aka Christ's invisible church of born again Christians on earth].
and [also known as] the beloved city [the entire mortal, breathing body of Christ, the living temple of God, which is now temporarily on this old earth]: and fire came down from God out of heaven [Jesus' return "in flaming fire"], and devoured them. Luke 17:28-30; 2 Thes. 1:7-10.
**Note: the "Feast of Tabernacles", is not about the Jews living in temporary booths/shelters, but rather it is about God dwelling within our temporary mortal bodies.
2 Cor. 4[7] But we have this treasure [of God Himself] in earthen vessels [our temporary mortal bodies] that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
[10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone [the burning lava of the earth's rocks and soil], [2 Peter 3] where the beast and the false prophet are [dwelling and shall die a fiery death], and [satan and all the fallen angels only] shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
[11] And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the [old] earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them [being the old heaven and earth].
[12] And I saw the dead, small and great, [symbolically] stand before God; and the [symbolic] books were opened: and another book was opened [which is Christ Himself], the book of life: and the [unsaved] dead were judged out of those things which were written in the [symbolic] books, according to their works ["the work of God": belief or unbelief in Christ, is predetermined by John 3:18; aka "the work of God" to be the ONLY work of God for our salvation. John 6:29. There are no other works that a person can do to gain entrance into the kingdom of God].
[13] And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell [the graves] delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works [belief or unbelief in Christ]
[14] And death and hell [the graves] were cast into the lake of fire [whereby none of the living unsaved shall be left alive to procreate human life. And so, since there will be no more births, there will be "no more death", which equals no more graves].
This is the second death.
[Flesh and blood can not inherit the KoG- 1 Cor. 15:50]
[15] And [for all of that symbolic, supposed appearance of judging at a White Throne judgment, in their supposed resurrected(?) mortal flesh, the simple conclusion of God's Judgment is:]
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. [All of which was PREdetermined by God's words in John 3:18; Rom. 8:9, and 1 Cor. 15:50].
