I see Satan as the “strong angel” of Rev. 5:2. He knows all our sins and thus challenges God. He does not know who has been forgiven. The Lamb is found worthy in 5:9. Because Christ comes with rewards for good and evil people 22:13, the decisions or judgment will have already happened.
 
Also at the coming of Christ, the graves of the “dead in Christ” will be opened. And the righteous who are alive “in Christ” will join them being taken to heaven (1 Thess. 4:16, 17). The other two classes, wicked living and wicked dead, will not be raised then. All these will have been judged when Christ comes. Thus four classes in the judgment. Four horses appear in order in Rev. 6. These, too, represent the four classes.
