It follows the events of the millennium, where Satan is bound and the dead are resurrected for judgment, with death and Hades being cast into the lake of fire as symbols of God's complete victory over sin and mortality. This imagery draws from Old Testament themes of divine judgment, emphasizing the end of all that opposes God's kingdom.
