It is a literal building, the tabernacle of God.
Rev 21: 3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
This building will be the physical sanctuary for the resurrected saints during the millennium.
Rev 21: 24And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it:
Rev 22: 14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
The land outside the building will experience the effects of the vials of wrath for the duration of the millennium.
Ezekiel 47:11 But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt.
The only fertile area outside the tabernacle will be along the "river of life."
Ezekiel 47: 12 Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing."
The resurrected saints will not be the only ones living on earth during the millennium.
Zechariah 14: 16And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
There will be individuals (which have take the mark of the beast) which will be on the outside of the tabernacle.
Rev 21:27Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Rev 22:15Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
These individuals are the ones that will be ruled with "a rod of iron."
Rev 2:26To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations 27'He will rule them with an iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like pottery' just as I have received authority from my Father.
At millenniums end, Satan will be released and will deceive these individuals, and there descendents, into attacking the tabernacle.
Rev 20: 7When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earthâ€â€Gog and Magogâ€â€to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. 9They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves.
The rest you know about.
