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.

And we know that history is closing out. The world's history will soon be over. Then we are going to step into a new day, to the great Millennium. That as one believer, I believe in a Millennium---a Millennium reign with Christ, a thousand years upon the earth; the physical return of the Lord Jesus to take a physical people, glorified by His cleansing blood.

Jesus said--never said, "Now, I have power to overcome you," He said, "It's written, man shall not live by bread alone," the Father's Words, see, "But by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Satan took Him up on the pinnacle and said, "If Thou be the Son of God..." Jesus said, "It is written..." He taken Him up on a man--mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, United States and all, said, "They're all mine." Jesus knowed that they were his. Said, "I do with them whatever I want to." You...

The old circuit preacher with his rifle across his back, his Bible in his hand, rode across the prairies, and up over the mountain, and down into the ditches and everywhere; preaching of a coming millennium, of a coming fiery judgment for the unjust, and preaching a kingdom of God for the just. It's true. The old Winchester's a-rusting away. And the Bible, they've got some sex book instead of it. But God's truth still marches on. He makes Hisself just as real today, and proves it, as He ever was. God's truth keeps...

So we see Him in the circle bow of green, amber color. This greenish, what does green represent? Life. Green is evergreen, always stays green; is life. What does it mean? That God has promised, as He took an oath back there in Genesis, that He would put the rainbow in the sky; that He would no more destroy this world by water. He also takes His oath and swears by Himself that all the seed of Abraham He'll raise up. And this world will stand all of its shaking judgements. The judgements we're going through (on the f...
