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.

The Feast of the Trumpets
64-0719M §15
Now, I've begin to notice at the preaching of the seven church ages, which is the pattern, or the forecast of all that God was going to do for the churches, and through the churches, and positionally setting them up. The first three chapters of the book of Revelation reveals all the happenings unto the church. Then from the 3rd chapter unto the 19th chapter of Revelation there is no more seen of the church. The church goes up at the 4th chapter of Revelations and returns back at the 19th chapter of Revelations, the...
The junction of time
56-0115 §48
Now, brother, sister, listen. What's taking place now? We're at the end time. We're going into the Millennium. Every hand pointing that way. The old clock's ticking away, about two minutes till midnight. Omnipotence is speaking. Angels are appearing. Prophets are coming. Prophets are prophesying; visions are being poured out upon the people in this day. The Gospel's being preached; the sick is being raised up; the blind see; the deaf hear; the devils are raging; impersonators---Jannes and Jambres---are here. But om...
Have not I sent thee?
62-0124 §5
And you know, I like that. I think we get more acquainted with each other, and 'cause we're going to have eternity to spend with each other. So we might as well get acquainted down here and know how it is. And so, then, up there, the one good thing, though, Brother Pastor, we won't be just kind of---we won't have any prayer meetings, no. We won't have any healing services. But we ... and we won't have any time limit. So, I usually only preach six or eight hours at a time, maybe sometimes, so then I can just keep on...
Daniel 9: Daniel's Seventy Weeks
61-0806 §89
Now these two prophets, what will they do? It's Moses and Elijah that'll rise on the scene. They'll tell those Jews their mistake. And out of that Jewish bunch that's there now, to be the 144,000, God will call with these prophets... What is it? The spirit of Elijah off this Gentile church will just continue right on into that Jewish church, go right on in and call Moses with him. Hallelujah! You see it? And he'll preach the same message of Pentecost to those Jews, that they rejected the Messiah. Amen! You see it?...
Divine Healing

Well, it was easy for Jesus, because He knew He come in the acceptable year to do the thing of God, and to preach the Word of God, and to do the signs of God, and to fulfill what God said would come to pass. Well, why can't the church today think the same thing, the very words that Jesus said, see? Because we, some... We get back and say, "Oh, the days of miracles is passed. Glory to God. This part is not inspired. That is but this is not, 'cause them things can't happen today," see. That's the reason we can't move...
