Revelation 3:10 and Pre-Tribulation Proof?

Rev. Steve Durkac Posted on October 7, 2020 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

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 into it to conclude it means the pre-tribulation rapture. Here is what we do know … Continue reading →

Common Ground on Pre-Trib vs Post-Trib

Rev. Steve Durkac Posted on April 8, 2019 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

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 air. If you think differently, this article is not about arguing my position or trying … Continue reading →

The Day of the Lord

Rev. Steve Durkac Posted on May 20, 2017 by Steve DurkacMay 20, 2017

As we get into 2 Thessalonians 2 in our teaching series at CrossHope Chapel, we’ll see that Paul is trying to explain to the believers there that they have not missed the rapture and they are not now in “the day of the Lord” (2 Thessalonians 2:2 ESV). These next weeks as we look at 2 Thessalonians 2 and 3 we will look at the reasons Paul mentions to assure the Thessalonians that they are … Continue reading →

2 Thessalonians 2:3 & The Rapture

Rev. Steve Durkac Posted on April 2, 2016 by Steve DurkacApril 2, 2016

Q: If the Anti-Christ is to be revealed first, before the church is raptured, wouldn’t that favor the post-tribulation position? A: My answer is No. In fact, the verse in question is 2 Thessalonians 2:3 and it actually builds a higher pile of evidence for the pre-tribulation position. The context is that the Thessalonians were being told that they had missed the rapture and “the day of the Lord” had come and the persecution they were facing … Continue reading →

Final Thought on Revelation 11

Rev. Steve Durkac Posted on September 20, 2015 by Steve DurkacSeptember 20, 2015

In John 21:15-17 we read where Jesus asked Peter do you “agapa” me? Peter responded by using a lesser word for “love.” Jesus used the word meaning “unconditionally” while Peter used the word meaning “brotherly.” After the same a second time, Jesus came back a third time and asked Peter if he loved Him but this time Jesus used the same lesser word for love that Peter was using. Sometimes God does come down to … Continue reading →

Wrath of God?

Rev. Steve Durkac Posted on August 23, 2015 by Steve DurkacAugust 23, 2015

I mentioned today as we were looking at Revelation 8 and 9 that I would email you the psalm that I was trying to think of on judgement, and that is actually was Psalm 97. While looking for my notes on Psalm 97 I realized that a recent message from John MacArthur covered in a powerful way this very topic of God’s wrath. I’ve copied a portion of the message titled “We Will Not Bow” that deals … Continue reading →

Satan’s Persecution or God’s Wrath?

Rev. Steve Durkac Posted on August 5, 2015 by Steve DurkacAugust 5, 2015

For the sake of understanding the prophecies of Revelation and the coming final events, know that there is a difference between tribulation that is persecution caused by Satan and tribulation that is the wrath caused by God. Believers of every age have experienced persecution brought upon them because of the hate of Satan against the followers of Christ. Jesus said in John 16:33 “In the world you will have tribulation” (ESV), and those martyred by the … Continue reading →
