Steve Durkac Posted on April 11, 2021 by Steve DurkacAugust 9, 2023

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?

Steve Durkac Posted on April 10, 2021 by Steve DurkacAugust 9, 2023

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 →

Approaching the Apocalypse

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 →

Revelation 3:10 and Pre-Tribulation Proof?

Steve Durkac Posted on October 7, 2020 by Steve DurkacAugust 9, 2023

Revelation 3:10 is often cited as evidence for a pre-tribulation rapture the text says, “I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” The text does speak to Lord’s protection for the believer in face of tribulation, but beyond that one has to read … Continue reading →

Revelation: Flow of History or For the Future?

Steve Durkac Posted on October 6, 2020 by Steve DurkacOctober 6, 2020

If you pick up any book on Bible prophecy you will likely find an introduction to the four main schools of interpretation in approaching the book of Revelation. Those four approaches are 1) Preterists, 2) Futurists, 3) Idealists, and 4) Historicists. The Preterists view is an approach that assumes the book of Revelation is speaking to past circumstances, visions, and … Continue reading →

Dispensationalism and Historicism in Eschatology

Steve Durkac Posted on July 11, 2020 by Steve DurkacAugust 9, 2023

In recent years I have been going through a theological journey and have been deeply studying the questionable issues in Dispensationalism and Historicism views of eschatology. My own ministerial education has been in the Historicism school of eschatology but I have not been one to make an issue of those who hold to a Dispensationalism school of thought. For some … Continue reading →

At The Last Day?

Steve Durkac Posted on April 15, 2019 by Steve DurkacAugust 9, 2023

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 DurkacAugust 9, 2023

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 →

Common Ground on Pre-Trib vs Post-Trib

Steve Durkac Posted on April 8, 2019 by Steve DurkacAugust 9, 2023

In recent months voices have been raised in American Christendom criticizing the pre-trib position regarding our Lord’s return. (Perhaps church leaders are finally getting tired of arguing about Calvinism.) If you ask me if I am pre-trib or post-trib, I will answer “pre-trib” because I am looking for my Lord to return soon so I can meet Him in the … Continue reading →
