Revelation 21-22 — Study Highlights

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on August 10, 2022 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

We concluded Revelation 20 with the end of the millennium, the judgment of the wicked dead, and their fate in the lake of fire. What follows is the remaking of Eden and earth made new by fire and as we’ll see in chapter 21, Heaven makes it home on the earth made new. It is also worth mentioning that in Revelation 21 and 22 we have a parallel to the beginning of the book with … Continue reading →

Revelation 19:11-20:15 — Study Highlights

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on July 27, 2022 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

As we pick up with the story-line in Revelation 19 we find Jesus returning to earth to deliver His saints from the troubling world directed by the Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet. Revelation 19:11 say that “in righteousness he doth judge and make war” and following that In Revelation 20 we are introduced to a 1000-year period where judgment is set and review is made by the saints before the final end of … Continue reading →

Revelation 17:1-19:10 — Study Highlights

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on July 16, 2022 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

We are going to tackle a large portion of Revelation from chapter 17 through chapter 19, because it is all focused on God’s specific wrath against the Beast, apostate religion, and their partnership for global power, which we read about in the previous chapters. If you remember, from Revelation 12 to Revelation 14 we have an overview of Satan’s end-time plan to war against Christ through the deception of the Beast and his image using … Continue reading →

Revelation 15-16 — Study Highlights

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on June 9, 2022 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

From Revelation 12 to Revelation 14 we have an overview of Satan’s plan to war against Christ through the deception of the Beast and his image using wicked men to persecute the saints. Now as we come to Revelation 15 and Revelation 16 we read of God’s response to the wicked who have made their allegiance to Satan and rejected the Creator God, His Son, and have willfully pursued harm of His saints. In our … Continue reading →

Revelation 14 — Study Highlights

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on April 19, 2022 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

In Revelation 12 we saw that Satan went off to scheme for an end-time war of deception against the people of God “which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:17). In Revelation 13 we saw that this end-time scheme is the enforcement of the mark of the beast on a global scale that would lead to a death decree against those who “would not worship the image of … Continue reading →

Revelation 13 — Study Highlights

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on April 6, 2022 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

In Revelation 13 we are introduced to the Mark of the Beast and the enforcement to worship an established “image” to the beast “out of the sea” that is enforced by the beast “out of the earth.” Remember that Revelation 12 concludes with Satan being angry that his plan of killing the Christ-child and martyring Bible-believing Christians did not work. In Revelation 12:17 we see that he changes his strategy and goes off in time … Continue reading →

Revelation 12 — Study Highlights

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on March 16, 2022 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

Revelation 12 is an important chapter that pivots the first half of Revelation to the second half of Revelation by providing an overview of the conflict between Christ and Satan. Some commentators have said that the first half of Revelation is historical while the second half of Revelation is eschatological. I can understand that from where we are today in history, but to John it was all eschatological. I do think that in Revelation 12 … Continue reading →

Revelation 8:6-11:19 — Study Highlights

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on February 21, 2022 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

We recently tackled a big portion of Revelation in our Sunday morning gathering at CrossHope Chapel, namely the presentation of the seven trumpets found in Revelation 8:6 through Revelation 11:19. When we covered this at the Chapel I was able to address it in more details than I will give here. The reason for that is I shared a lot of what others have said and how others have interpreted these seven trumpets, because honestly, … Continue reading →

Revelation 7:1-8:5 — Study Highlights

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on February 14, 2022 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

At CrossHope Chapel we are currently going through the book of Revelation and we covered chapter 7 and the beginning of chapter 8 a few weeks ago. I have been busy with my hospital chaplaincy ministry lately and have fallen behind on these Study Highlights. In this Study Highlight, I want to share some things from our look at Revelation 7:1-8:5… Revelation 7 is a parenthetical vision that John saw which falls between the 6th … Continue reading →

Revelation 6 — Study Highlights

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on January 31, 2022 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

At CrossHope Chapel yesterday we opened to Revelation 6 and talked about John’s vision of the opening of the 7 seals. Only the Lamb — the Resurrected Jesus Christ — was worthy to open the scroll by removing the seven seals, and as He did we got a glimpse of the prophetic unfolding of His church in conflict. We spent some time discussing the two most popular approaches of interpreting Revelation, that is the Historicist … Continue reading →

Revelation 4-5 — Study Highlights

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on December 6, 2021 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

Sunday at CrossHope Chapel we opened to Revelation 4 and 5 and talked about John’s vision of the throne room in Heaven. Chapters 4 and 5 are a transition of sorts from the seven letters to the seven churches and to the seven seals. When we are back together on Sunday, January 16, 2022 we will get into the 6th chapter of Revelation and see that the seven seals will lead us to the prophecies … Continue reading →

Revelation 3 — Study Highlights

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on November 23, 2021 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

Sunday at CrossHope Chapel we opened to Revelation 3 and talked about the three churches mentioned in the chapter. Jesus dictated to John letters for these seven churches and in this chapter we have the letters for the last three: Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. The letters have application to each of the local churches of John’s time, an application to the church universal today, and an application as seven consecutive eras of church history from … Continue reading →

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on November 15, 2021 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

Yesterday at CrossHope Chapel we opened to Revelation 2 and talked about the four churches mentioned in the chapter. Jesus dictated to John letters for these seven churches and in this chapter we have the letters for the first four: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, and Thyartira. The letters have application to each of the local churches of John’s time, an application to the church universal today, and an application as seven consecutive eras of church history … Continue reading →

Revelation 1 — Study Highlights

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on November 8, 2021 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

Yesterday at CrossHope Chapel we opened to Revelation 1 as we began our journey through this new study series and I want to share with you some of the highlights from our study and discussion… Revelation 1:1 — It is important to note that this is the revelation of Jesus Christ, not the Anti-Christ. Some translations say “the revelation from Jesus Christ” because the word used means both “from” and “of” but the meaning is … Continue reading →
