• As for the persons left to be raised after the thousand years are over, they are to die another and most woeful death — the second death. By it all those who had not part in the first resurrection are to die. Theirs shall be the second death — meaning that extinction of all hopes of blessing when all else is blessed in heaven and earth, and they perpetually abide under the wrath of God. (“Lectures on Revelation 20: Part 2” by W. Kelly)
• For "the thousand years" answer to this very period, when the administration will be in the hands of the Lord Jesus, the exalted and manifested Head over all things, and the church will share all along with Him. (“Lectures on Revelation 20: Part 2” by W. Kelly)
• The Old Testament. There it is spoken of constantly as "that day" — when the Gentiles will be brought in and blessed — when God's name will be exalted — when there will be a suspension of all warfare and strife. (“Lectures on Revelation 20: Part 2” by W. Kelly)
• There is not a single spot or creature of God's universe but what will feel the effects of His glorious power, whereby He is able to subdue all things unto Himself. (“Lectures on Revelation 20: Part 3” by W. Kelly)

J. N. Darby Translation

6
Blessed and holy he who has part in the first resurrection: over these the second death has no powerh; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

JND Translation Notes

+
h
Exousia, right or title; by adding "over" we get the full sense.

W. Kelly Translation

+
6
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: over these the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reigna with him a thousand years.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Almost all the witnesses read "reign" in the future. The Alexandrian alone here commits the blunder of the present tense, though it is really more inexcusable in chap. 5:10, where it had too many companions, which misled the Revisers. Here they rightly join the KJV.
