Well, there is that time (the 1,000 years), but everyone else is just in waiting. After Satan comes back, he is then cast into the lake of fire "for ever and ever" and everyone writen in the book of life gets to go into the new heaven, and everyone not in the book or life, gets to go with Satan. But the new heaven is given a set size (1,600 miles by 1,600 miles), so it must have a set number of people that can live in it.
