Revelation 13:11 and The United States of America?

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on January 7, 2021 by Steve DurkacMarch 24, 2021avatar

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 to keep the great themes of prophecy before God’s people, I am not so quick to agree with them on … Continue reading →

What is the Beast and 666?

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on July 13, 2020 by Steve DurkacMarch 24, 2021avatar

In my last post titled “Will the COVID-19 Vaccine be the Mark of the Beast?” I attempted to encourage those who harbor some fears of taking the mark of the beast by learning that the verse in Revelation says the mark is not a visible or tangible thing, but a belief that puts the Beast power above Christ’s power. Revelation 13:17 says that the mark of the Beast is “the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” … Continue reading →

Will a COVID Vaccine be the Mark of the Beast?

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on July 10, 2020 by Steve DurkacJuly 10, 2020avatar

My short answer is No, but let me explain… Revelation 13:17 clearly says that “…no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” The verse literally says the mark of the beast is “the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” The meaning of “name” is more than identity, it’s about character. The character of the beast is one of anti-Christ. It’s … Continue reading →

Voddie Baucham, J.D. Faraq, & The Mark

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on July 6, 2020 by Steve DurkacJuly 6, 2020avatar

Sunday I made reference to Dr. Voddie Baucham, a black Reformed Baptist minister, and his public statements on the anti-Christian positions being welcomed by social justice leaders in the church and the protesting organizations. If you search Voddie Baucham in YouTube you’ll find several sermons that are worth listening to, but here is a link to a video clip of a recent interview he participated in on the Glenn Beck Show: https://youtu.be/EtG0ylfWT_k. Also, last night’s Prophecy Update by J.D. Faraq … Continue reading →

Enforcement of the Mark

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on February 24, 2020 by Steve DurkacAugust 13, 2020avatar

The account of Revelation 13 tells of an economical global enforcement that will punish those who refuse to acknowledge or employ “the mark of the beast” into their lives. Revelation 13:17 states, “no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” My point here is not to explain who or what the details are on the mark or the beast, but to stir you to … Continue reading →

The Sabbath as Seal of God?

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on May 6, 2019 by Steve DurkacMay 6, 2019avatar

Here’s why I don’t think the seal of God is Sabbath keeping and why I don’t think the mark of the Beast is Sunday keeping. Let me begin with the arguments that my Adventist friends are familiar with…(I do mean friends. I still love you all and am still thankful that God lead me into a Seventh-day Adventist Church on June 13, 1981 in Toledo, Ohio. You have taught me to value the Word of God above all.)…the SDA position … Continue reading →

Sealing Work of the Holy Spirit

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on May 6, 2019 by Steve DurkacAugust 13, 2020avatar

We find the concept of the Seal of God in the book of Ephesians and in Revelation. There is a definite connection between the two books on the Seal of God. Let’s beginning by looking at Ephesians 4:30 where Paul says “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption” (ESV). In Ephesians 4:30 we are told that the sealing work is the work of the Holy Spirit is for our … Continue reading →
