At The Last Day?

Steve Durkac Posted on April 15, 2019 by Steve DurkacFebruary 4, 2024

Here is something that makes me pause when considering the return of Jesus in a pre-tribulation rapture. It’s the use of the phrase “at the last day” as found in the Gospel of John. The reason it gives me pause, is because the Bible specifically mentions that there is only two resurrections, one for the saved and one for the … Continue reading →

Death in the Millennium?

Steve Durkac Posted on April 15, 2019 by Steve DurkacFebruary 4, 2024

There is a belief that during the 1000 years people will be born and people will die. Where does this idea of death being part of the saints experience of eternal life, post-rapture, and post-tribulation come from? The answer is Isaiah 65:20 which says “No more shall there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or … Continue reading →

Walking in the World, but not as the World

Steve Durkac Posted on April 14, 2019 by Steve DurkacFebruary 4, 2024

Today at CrossHope Chapel we opened to Ephesians 4:17-32 and in case you missed it, here are some notes… The Apostle Paul uses the metaphor “walk” as a way to express how we live our lives. Walk is a descriptive word picture for the practice of our day to day living. It is used by the Apostle Paul and the other … Continue reading →

Symbols in the Bible

Steve Durkac Posted on April 7, 2019 by Steve DurkacFebruary 4, 2024

(This is not original with me, nor do I even know who compiled it, but it was something I got from another minister who got it from another minister who used it for a Bible Prophecy Seminar handout.)   Luke 8:10 And He said, To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to … Continue reading →

Numbers in the Bible

Steve Durkac Posted on April 7, 2019 by Steve DurkacFebruary 4, 2024

(This is not original with me, nor do I even know who compiled it, but it was something I got from another minister who got it from another minister who used it for a Bible Prophecy Seminar handout.)   Many of the numbers in the Bible have deeper prophetic or spiritual significance. Both in the Old and New Testaments, numbers … Continue reading →

Sabbath = Messiah

Steve Durkac Posted on April 3, 2019 by Steve DurkacFebruary 4, 2024

I would like to suggest to my Seventh-day Adventist friends to substitute the word “Messiah” for the word “Sabbath,” every time you read it in the Bible or in the writings of Ellen White. I once had a New Testament professor who in teaching through the book of Galatians, suggested that when we read the word “law” we could add the … Continue reading →
