The Three Angel’s Message

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on April 23, 2023 by Steve DurkacApril 23, 2023

When we open to Revelation 14, we find the three angel’s messages going out to the world in the midst of these end-times and just before the return of Jesus Christ. These angels are symbolic of the church giving these messages to the world. The word “angel” actually means “messenger” and that is what we see here in Revelation 14:6-12. … Continue reading →

Revelation 21-22 — Study Highlights

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on August 10, 2022 by Steve DurkacAugust 10, 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 … Continue reading →

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on July 27, 2022 by Steve DurkacJuly 27, 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 … Continue reading →

Revelation 17:1-19:10 — Study Highlights

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on July 16, 2022 by Steve DurkacJuly 16, 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 … Continue reading →

Revelation 15-16 — Study Highlights

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on June 9, 2022 by Steve DurkacJune 9, 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 … Continue reading →

Revelation 14 — Study Highlights

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on April 19, 2022 by Steve DurkacApril 19, 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 … Continue reading →

Revelation 13 — Study Highlights

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on April 6, 2022 by Steve DurkacApril 6, 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. … Continue reading →

Revelation 12 — Study Highlights

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on March 16, 2022 by Steve DurkacMarch 16, 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 … Continue reading →

Revelation 8:6-11:19 — Study Highlights

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on February 21, 2022 by Steve DurkacFebruary 21, 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 … Continue reading →

Revelation 6 — Study Highlights

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on January 31, 2022 by Steve DurkacJanuary 31, 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 … Continue reading →

Sunday at CrossHope Chapel we opened to Revelation 4 and 5 and talked about John’s vision of the throne room in Heaven.

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.

Here is a 22-point sequence of events for an understanding of the post-tribulation rapture or the second coming of Christ… Jesus returns for His church as promised in John 14:1-3 and detailed in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18. The saints who have died in Christ will be resurrected. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 1 Corinthians 15:42-44. This is the first resurrection mentioned by Jesus … Continue reading →

No Church in Revelation 4-21?

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on April 10, 2021 by Steve DurkacApril 10, 2021

It is often stated that since the church is not mentioned between Revelation 3:22 and Revelation 22:16, it is proof of a pre-tribulation rapture of the church. When ministers and prophecy teachers make mention of there being no church between Revelation 3:22 and Revelation 22:16, they mean that the Greek word “ekklēsia” is not used. In an earlier post titled … Continue reading →

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 →

Approaching the Apocalypse

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on November 13, 2020 by Steve DurkacNovember 13, 2020

The first verse of Revelation sets the approach for the prophecy we sometimes call the Apocalypse. It begins, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass” (Revelation 1:1). Revelation 1:1 points our attention to the Lord Jesus Christ as the focal point of the book and … Continue reading →
