Regarding the Millennium

I believe that whatever meaning is intended by the thousand year reign, in the Book of Revelation, is true. It's the popular futurist dispensational model of it that I have questions about. For example:

The rest of the Bible seems to teach that the second coming is the end of the world - not the beginning of another thousand years of life on earth.

The rest of the Bible seems to teach that no-one who isn't ready when Jesus comes, can get saved once they see His coming - it doesn't teach that all Israel can get saved after they see His coming.

The rest of the Bible says that unless a man is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of heaven - it doesn't say unsaved people can exist in His thousand-year kingdom.

The Bible teaches that Mosaic rituals have been superseded by the Gospel - it doesn't teach that Israel and the nations must revert again under the Law during a future millennium.

I don't understand how people can still be again deceived by Satan, after seeing the visible reign of Christ.

It seems to be in conflict with the rest of the Bible, to say people can still be born, get saved or fall away, after the second coming of Christ, and once they are in His Kingdom.

I don't understand how it can be called a reign of peace, when the popular model also has God cursing the nations who don't keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
