Is There Going to Be Preaching During the Millennium and to Who?
1) Direct Answer
No. There will be no Gospel preaching for salvation in the Millennium. The door of mercy is closed by then. The last preaching before that age is to Israel during the tribulation by the two prophets who seal the 144,000. In the Millennium Christ and His Bride rule; the Word goes forth from Jerusalem as law and judgment, not as an altar call.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- The close of mercy: “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still… and he that is holy, let him be holy still” (Revelation 22:11). Jesus also said when the Master shuts the door, those outside cannot enter (Luke 13:25; see also Matthew 25:10–12).
- The last prophetic ministry to Israel is before the Millennium: the two witnesses preach 1,260 days, turning the hearts of Israel, and the 144,000 are sealed (Revelation 11; compare Romans 11:25–27).
- The Millennium itself is a reign, not an evangelistic campaign: “They lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years… they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” (Revelation 20:4–6). Ruling with “a rod of iron” shows government, not Gospel invitation (Revelation 19:15; 2:26–27).
- Kingdom instruction, not conversion calls: “Out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem… and he shall judge among the nations” (Isaiah 2:3–4; Micah 4:2). That is the King’s Word administering righteousness over nations.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
Preaching is for repentance while the Blood is on the mercy seat. Once the door is shut and Christ takes His throne to rule, destinies are fixed. The Bride is glorified; she needs no preaching. The 144,000 were already sealed under the prophets. The nations that are spared are governed and taught the King’s law, but it is not a call to salvation—judgment and peace are enforced by the reigning Word.
4) Reinforcing Statement
Now is the day of salvation. The Millennium is the rule of the King and His Bride, not another chance to respond to the Gospel.

An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages
CAB 5:E-101
Now this is not merely an assumption but an historical fact which we will prove by going back into history to about 36 A.D. and coming up to the Nicene Council of 325. When the Christians (mainly Jews by birth) were scattered abroad from Jerusalem they went everywhere preaching the Gospel, particularly in the synagogues. Thus within three years, or about in 36 A.D. the Gospel had been taken to Rome by Junius and Andronicus, who according to Romans 16:7 were apostles. The work flourished there for several years unti...
God's Provided Way

Now, I am just about as badly worn as I've ever been to stay on my feet. This is several weeks for me and it's been much visions. And so the Lord has helped me to which I am very, very, grateful for His loving kindness, of course, we are. And we just trust that He will be with us tonight, and help us tonight. And now, I'm going to speak just a few moments on a text, if it would be called a text, I'm not very good on taking a text because I very seldom ever stay with it. And I just, I thought I'd just maybe read som...

So I remember, it was that Ford that I visit Brother John Ryan for the first time in Dowagiac, Michigan; you remember this story, Brother Ryan. So I remember, I thought, "Oh, my."

Daniel 9: The sixfold purpose of Gabriel's visitation

Let's take now what will take place during that time. Oh, do you love it? Let's turn to Isaiah 65 just a minute. (Just too good to skip by. It's just too good to leave. Might be a little hot, but let's just keep moving.) Isaiah 65, listen what'll take place during that time. And just ask yourself, sinner friend, if you could afford to miss this. Isaiah 65, let's begin with about the seventeenth verse. Listen, everybody, close now. This is during the time of the Millennium when the most Holy is anointed. For, behold...
Daniel 9: Daniel's Seventy Weeks
61-0806 §103
Now, counting the time, we find that we have exactly (listen!) seventeen years left, and we will have the same span of time given to us as God dealing with us in the power of the Holy Spirit, since A.D. 33 until 1977, the same span of time of 1954 years. God deals with us the same as He did with the Jews. How about that? Now, mark down in your book a little scripture here I want to give you. Leviticus 25, begin with the eighth verse. God calls a Jubilee every forty-ninth year. The fiftieth year was the Jubilee. We...
