Something dawned on me the other day. And maybe I'm completely wrong and maybe I already knew this and had forgotten it so it seemed to be a new revelation when I thought of it, I'm not sure . So, let me ask;
we know that the fall festivals are yet to be fulfilled and they are in the order of Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and then Sukkot. Would it make sense to say that the ten days between Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur, traditionally the time given for complete repentance to be written in the book of life, would correlate with Revelation 20: 1-15.
The thousand years maybe being the "day" of Yom Teruah, then the time when Satan is let loose for a short while is the time between Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur; a time for testing and deep repentance--one last chance to be in the Lamb's book of life.
Then the final battle (Rev.20: 7-9) will happen and afterwards is Yom Kippur, the final judgement, then Rev 21 is concerning with sukkot---the New Jerusalem.
Now, Revelation and the other end time prophecy type books are so confusing with their timelines and what would appear to be contradictions, I'm unsure of my theory here, so I was wanting feedback.
Maybe this is basic, and some are laughing at me, and that's okay. I can tend to forget things like this because there is so much to know and my brain just can't contain it all at once.
Thanks

Rev 20:1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
Rev 20:2 And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;
Rev 20:3 and he threw him into the abyss, and shut {it} and sealed {it} over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.
Rev 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I {saw} the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
Rev 20:5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.
Rev 20:7 When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison,
Rev 20:8 and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore.
Rev 20:9 And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
Rev 20:10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Rev 20:11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is {the book} of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one {of them} according to their deeds.
Rev 20:14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
Rev 20:15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Rev 20:2 And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;
