I've been looking into Historical Pre-millennialism a lot lately. One of the things that started me on this road is the length of the final judgment. Surely it will take God quite a long time to judge the entire world, going through the sins of each individual. In my research I found something rather interesting that Berkhof had said;

c. The time of the judgment
The final judgment will naturally be at the end of the world, and will follow immediately after the resurrection of the dead, John 5:28, 29; Rev. 20:12, 13. The duration of the judgment cannot be determined. The Bible speaks of "the day of judgment," but this does not necessarily mean that it will be a day of twenty-four hours. Neither is
195 there any ground to assert with the Pre-millenarians that it will be a day of a thousand years.

My question: Is he speaking in general about their overuse of the day = a thousand years verse? Are there any pre-millennials that believe that the Final judgment will last the entirety of the Millennium?
 
Never mind, I didn't think this one through. They believe the final judgment happens After the millennium, not during.

No, but we do see the final judgment reserved for just resurrected lost sinners.
