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.

"In my Father's house are many... or in my Father's economy, in my Father's plans is many palaces. I'll go to prepare a place." Look how long it is: 1500 square miles. "Say, where's it at?" He has gone to prepare it. He is Creator. He creates all that gold. The streets are transparent. He's Creator. He is making a place. Over in Revelation 21, he said, "And I, John, saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending from God out of Heaven." There was no more sea. The first Heaven and first earth was passed away. What...

And they said, "Can we go back to the kingdom right now?" The Jewish kingdom is to be set on the earth, you know. John said the kingdom on the earth, see, to be set... Now this is the kingdom of the Gospel, you see; but the kingdom of the Jews will be preached by these two prophets. So notice the kingdom of the earth here. The kingdom of heaven is preached by the Jews ... I mean to the Gentiles; the kingdom here on the earth is to be set up in the millennium ... after the millennium to the Jews. Now notice. Notice...

Oh, can't you see America in that same place? "Oh, the king endorsed it, so it must be all right. If the king does it, well, that settles it." Well, just because America lets you sell whiskey, cigarettes, and tobacco, and beer, that doesn't make it right in the sight of God. God will judge sin. You say, "Well, our nation sells it." But you ought to have the real principle of men and women that keep away from it. Our nation is governed by the devil, like all other nations are. The Bible says they are. So you can't g...

Amen I'm not going unless they can go too. That's all." Oh, what a gallant servant! Amen. "I want to take them with me. Just because I've got it---and I sit down and say, 'Well now, this is all right'---no, sir; we want the people too. Everyone of us is going." Amen.
