Isaiah 7:14 and The Virgin Birth?

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on January 26, 2021 by Steve DurkacJanuary 26, 2021

How can Isaiah 7:14 be considered a prophecy about Christ’s virgin birth when the word translated there also means a young female? This is a popular objection for those looking for a reason to deny prophesy and the virgin birth of the Messiah but it is also an opportunity to consider proper interpretation of Scripture. So I am going to … Continue reading →

Missing Verses?

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on January 26, 2021 by Steve DurkacJanuary 26, 2021

From time to time someone on social media gets all hyped up about wanting to educate people about Bible translations that appear to have eliminated verses, and this video below addresses that question.

Christians, Politics, and Satan’s Work

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on January 14, 2021 by Steve DurkacJanuary 14, 2021

I am beginning to wonder if Satan is hijacking our political outrage as a scheme to take our eyes off the Lord, the coming Kingdom of Heaven, and what Scripture warns us about end-time deceptions. Thanks to social media, I am seeing some of my minister friends getting obsessed with the current political situation in Washington and sounding almost exclusively … Continue reading →

Edith Waugh, Death, and Maranatha

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on January 9, 2021 by Steve DurkacMay 8, 2023

I’m contemplating death today, because I just learned of the passing of Edith Waugh, a former church member from my Rock Hill, South Carolina days and wife of Les Waugh, whom I wrote about in a previous blog post.

Revelation 13:11 and The United States of America?

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on January 7, 2021 by Steve DurkacJanuary 7, 2021

I realize that many Bible prophecy teachers are quick to say that the United States of America isn’t in Revelation. Many of these preachers pinpoint other countries in prophecy but emphatically conclude that the United States is not even mentioned. While I hold a great deal of respect for the ministry of those who are doing all within their power … Continue reading →

Don’t Lose Heart

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on January 6, 2021 by Steve DurkacJanuary 6, 2021

The disciples had lost their confidence that their Master was going to rise to prominence in the land, and that meant their hope of being exulted with Him was fading. Jesus was talking about dying, and within a few days He would. The mood among the band of followers was turning grim. The opposition of the pharisees and the elite … Continue reading →
