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.

That's the way it is today. That's the reason I joined up with the holy rollers, you my dear Baptist friend, and Methodist. Going to take over some of these days. How? I don't know! How could God deal with a bunch of people like that? I can't tell you, but He does it! Going to take over. Amen. God said so. In the last days I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, upon my handsmaids and maidservants will I pour out of My Spirit. I will show signs in the Heaven above and...
The resurrection of Lazarus

You know, sometimes I think that... Wonder how the Lord feels about us sometimes, when He does so many things for us, and yet we just sit like we were in a subconscious, don't we? Aren't we all guilty? I am. We just sit and say, "Well, Lord, I wish You'd do something for me." He can't do nothing no more for us than what He has already done. He's already healed us. He's already saved us. He's already give us joy. He give us His peace. He's our shield, our buckler, our, everything that we have is in Him and He's done...

I believe the time is coming... The manifestation of the gifts that's give to every man to profit withal. That's true. I believe gifts are wonderful, and we need them and respect them. But I believe the time's coming when it's going to be on a higher standard than that. Why, after all these things is done away, that which is love will endure forever, see. It's the love of God... We'll just be standing, preaching like this, or talking, and just a love will just settle over the building. Whew. My. You see? This is th...
An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages
CAB 5:E-155
So the church and the state were married. The church joined up with idols. With the power of the state behind them they felt that now, "The kingdom had come and God's will had been enforced upon the earth." No wonder the Roman Catholic Church is not looking for the return of the Lord Jesus. They are not millennialists. They have their millennium right here. The pope is reigning right now and God is reigning in him. So when He comes according to them, it has to be when the new heavens and the earth are prepared. But...

Now, He begin to talk, and I can see the women from up along the hillside, and the men out in the field with their ox plowing, so forth; they heard that that famous preacher that had just come into light of the world, was down there at the sea preaching. I can see them leaving their washing go, and stopping the ox and tying them up, going down to hear the Word of God. Oh, I'd sure like to heard Him preach, wouldn't you? Anything I like is to hear good preaching, hear a man preaching. I believe, though, of all the p...
