 The Iron and the Clay (Part Two): Government, Principalities, and the Coming Clash Between Christ and Antichrist  In this extended continuation of The Iron and the Clay, Jacob Prasch expounds Daniel 2 to address the biblical tension between submission to civil authority and obedience to God, showing how political power, religious systems, technology, and economics are all influenced by unseen spiritual principalities. Moving between Scripture (Acts 4, Romans 13, Daniel 10–12, Revelation 12–13) and contemporary events in Europe, Britain, Israel, and the West, the teaching argues that modern persecution of Christians, censorship, and moral inversion mirror the conditions of pagan Rome and foreshadow the final Antichrist system. Prasch traces how the “iron and clay” kingdom reflects a fractured Greco-Roman world struggling to hold together through authoritarian control, false religion, and counterfeit unity, while warning against deception in the church, triumphalist “kingdom now” theology, and false assurances of escape from tribulation. The message culminates in hope: though many battles will be lost, the war is already won—Christ, the stone cut without human hands, will crush every earthly kingdom and establish a reign that will never end. This teaching was originally taught on RTN TV's "Word for the Weekend" on February 22, 2025 and can be found on RTN and Moriel's YouTube and ministry channels.

 Drawing extensively from Revelation 2–3, this teaching examines the seven churches as real historical congregations, recurring spiritual conditions present throughout church history, and a prophetic mirror especially relevant to the last days. Beginning with Christ's warning to Laodicea, the speaker exposes how material affluence, consumerism, and “people's opinions” have produced a lukewarm church that believes itself rich while remaining spiritually blind and naked. Moving church by church—from Ephesus' loss of first love, Smyrna's persecution, Pergamum's compromise, Thyatira's false sacrifice, Sardis' dead orthodoxy, and Philadelphia's faithful mission—the message traces how cultural shifts repeatedly force the church to choose between biblical recontextualization (changing the packaging, not the gospel) and theological redefinition (changing the gospel itself). Through historical examples ranging from Augustine and Aquinas to Wesley, the Jesus Movement, and modern evangelical trends, the teaching issues a sober warning: when the church replaces repentance, discipleship, and truth with programs, experiences, tolerance, or prosperity, it risks becoming Laodicea—called not to innovate, but to repent, open the door to Christ, and recover true spiritual sight. 

 In this extended exposition of Jeremiah 16, Jacob Prasch interprets the prophet's warnings as both an immediate judgment on Judah and a far-reaching foreshadowing of the last days, closely linking the chapter to Jesus' Olivet Discourse and the book of Revelation. Prasch explains why God commands Jeremiah not to marry, mourn, or celebrate—signs that divine compassion has been withdrawn from a society that has crossed a moral point of no return. He traces recurring biblical patterns of famine, judgment, false prophecy, and idolatry from the Babylonian captivity to 70 AD, and ultimately to the rise of Babylon the Great, emphasizing that understanding prophecy requires understanding history. Addressing modern apostasy, false religion, moral collapse, and the abandonment of biblical truth, he contrasts counterfeit “words” from false prophets with the true Word of God. Yet amid judgment, Prasch highlights God's enduring covenant promises to Israel, the future regathering of the Jewish people, and the certainty that the nations will one day recognize the futility of their idols. The teaching closes with a sober reminder: when God makes Himself known in judgment, every false system will be exposed, and all will know that Yahweh alone is Lord. 

In this teaching, Charles Douglas, an 84-year-old retired pastor with decades of ministry experience, introduces a three-part series focused on discerning fake versus genuine anointing in an age saturated with voices, prophecies, and spiritual claims amplified by modern technology. Drawing carefully from Scripture—including 1 Corinthians 14, 2 Peter, Acts 8, Exodus, and Revelation—he warns against fabricated prophecies, sensationalism, and counterfeit spiritual power that exploit believers, dull discernment, and prepare the ground for greater end-time deception. With pastoral clarity and sober urgency, Douglas calls listeners to exercise sanctified common sense, test all claims against God's Word, and maintain a balanced faith rooted in both heart and mind, laying the foundation for understanding genuine anointing and, ultimately, the rise of the false prophet and the beast to come. 

How Must I ForgiveWhat does biblical forgiveness actually look like in practice? In this lesson, Sandy Simpson explains how Christians are called to forgive—not emotionally, conditionally, or superficially—but biblically. Forgiveness is an act of obedience grounded in Christ's sacrifice, not a feeling or a denial of wrongdoing. This teaching clarifies the difference between forgiving and excusing sin, forgiving and enabling, and forgiving and forgetting. Listeners are challenged to follow Christ's model of forgiveness in truth, humility, and love.

Amos 2:6–3 — Crime and PunishmentThe spiral tightens, and Amos now lands on Israel's sins—crimes not merely “out there” among the nations, but inside the covenant community itself. Pastor Marco unpacks how God holds His own people to account for corruption, exploitation, and hypocritical religion, showing that privilege never cancels responsibility. In these chapters, God exposes the way injustice, greed, and spiritual compromise become systemic—and why judgment is not random but measured, moral, and deserved. This message confronts the false security of religious language without repentance, calling God's people to sober self-examination, accountability, and a return to covenant faithfulness.

 Daniel's Iron and Clay: Government, Principalities, and God's Hand in the Rise and Fall of Nations (Part One)  In this first part of The Iron and the Clay, the teaching opens in Book of Daniel 2:21, unfolding a sweeping biblical framework for understanding history, politics, and prophecy through the lens of divine sovereignty. Drawing from Daniel, Zechariah, Job, Revelation, and modern history, the message explains how earthly events—wars, elections, governments, and global upheavals—are reflections of spiritual conflicts in the heavenlies involving angelic and demonic principalities. The study identifies three forces God uses to restrain evil: human government, the convicting work of the Holy Spirit, and the church functioning as salt and light—and warns what happens when all three fail. Tracing examples from ancient Israel to World War I, World War II, the Holocaust, the rebirth of Israel, and contemporary geopolitics, the teaching argues that God allows even evil rulers to rise in order to accomplish prophetic purposes, calling believers not to political obsession but to spiritual discernment, intercessory prayer, and biblical wisdom in understanding the times. This teaching was originally taught on RTN TV's "Word for the Weekend" on February 15, 2025 and can be found on RTN and Moriel's YouTube and ministry channels.

Using his testimony as a starting point,  this message tackles Jacob's assigned theme: how prophecy and evangelism are inseparably linked. Anchoring the talk in Isaiah 1:18 (“Come now, let us reason together”), he argues that the gospel is not a blind leap but intellectually credible and historically defensible, contrasting it with what he portrays as religion's subjective claims and man-made attempts to reach God. Drawing from his own background in 1960s counterculture, leftist politics, science-minded skepticism, and occult involvement, he describes how the “Jesus Freak” revival confronted him with evidence he could not dismiss—especially fulfilled messianic prophecies and external historical attestations that forced him from trying to disprove Christianity to accepting Christ. He critiques alternative religious systems and Christian counterfeits, then pivots to end-times themes—Israel's centrality, geopolitical convergence, cultural decay, and deception within the church—to emphasize urgency: personal mortality and global instability are “time bombs,” but the “blessed hope” is available now through repentance and faith in Jesus the Messiah. 

 Continuing his exposition of Jeremiah 15, Jacob Prasch presents a sobering theology of judgment, repentance, and perseverance for believers living amid apostasy. He explains that when a nation—or a church—passes a moral point of no return, God may cease calling it to repentance and instead give it over to judgment, even while still calling individuals to faithfulness. Tracing the chapter's imagery of fourfold doom and its fulfillment across Scripture, Prasch connects Jeremiah's anguish to Christ's own suffering, showing how the prophet typifies the rejected Messiah and, by extension, the faithful remnant in every age. He emphasizes the necessity of “eating the Word”—allowing Scripture to be fully internalized—so that it becomes both a joy and a burden, sweet in the mouth yet bitter in the stomach. Addressing discouragement, isolation, and righteous indignation, Prasch underscores God's promise to preserve those who refuse compromise: believers must extract what is precious from what is worthless, resist conformity to apostasy, and trust that even in persecution God will ultimately redeem them from the hand of the violent and the wicked. 

 In Ken's Corner Episode 81, James Kitazaki and Ken Smith (joined by Brett) discuss a range of current-events headlines, cultural trends, and theological issues through a Christian worldview. Topics include disputed claims about public health and cancer statistics, allegations of large-scale fraud involving public programs, concerns about expanding surveillance powers in Germany, debate over annihilationism versus historic Christian teaching on eternal judgment, and new polling data suggesting continued decline in religious commitment in the United States. The episode closes with a pastoral exhortation from James 4:8—a reminder to pursue repentance, humility, and daily nearness to God. From 12/18/25 on Moriel TV YouTube and Rumble.

This week Sandy begins a multi-week series on forgiveness.  In this opening lesson, Sandy Simpson exposes the spiritual, emotional, and even physical damage caused by unforgiveness. Drawing from Scripture, personal testimony, and real-world examples, he shows how bitterness becomes a root that grows into anger, violence, self-destruction, and spiritual bondage. Unforgiveness is not a harmless attitude—it gives the enemy a foothold and robs believers of healing, peace, and intimacy with Christ. This teaching lays the groundwork for understanding why forgiveness is not optional for Christians, but essential for spiritual health and freedom.

This week Pastor Marco begins a 7-week study in the Book of Amos. Pastor Marco Quintana introduces the Book of Amos and the prophet behind it—an unlikely messenger from Tekoa, a shepherd and tender of sycamore trees, sent to confront a prosperous but spiritually rotten nation. In this opening teaching, we explore why “majoring on the minors” reveals the righteousness and holiness of God, how prosperity can breed complacency and injustice, and why God's judgment begins with the nations before closing in on His own people. Amos is not a comfortable book—but it is a necessary one, exposing the seriousness of sin and the mercy of God who warns before He judges. Ultimately, Amos drives us to the hope of the gospel: the Savior who bore God's wrath so sinners can be forgiven and made right. The plan for 2026, for your future listening enjoyment, is to begin the new year with Amos, followed by Haggai, then Habakkuk. We'll begin April with an Easter message and then continue through the year in the Book of Mark. That will get us all the way to the second week of December where we'll finish 2026 with a series of holiday and Christmas messages from Pastor Marco. As with all plans, however, these may change, because our future is not up to us. Thank you for being a Moriel podcast listener, God bless!

SubtitleGod Who Removes Kings: Israel, the Nations, and a Desperate Call to Prayer In this urgent and uncompromising message, the speaker issues a desperate call to prayer grounded in Daniel 2:21—that God alone removes kings and establishes rulers according to His sovereign purposes. Tracing biblical prophecy, church history, and modern geopolitics, the teaching argues that current international actions against Israel and the silence surrounding the persecution of Christians signal a dangerous alignment against the God of Israel Himself. Drawing from Scripture, historical examples (including Britain, Europe, and the rise and fall of empires), and present-day events at the United Nations, the message warns that nations which oppose God's covenant purposes risk divine judgment. The teaching concludes with an impassioned plea for repentance, intercession, and divine intervention—that God would remove wicked leadership, spare entire nations from judgment, and establish righteous rulers before it is too late. This teaching was originally taught on RTN TV's "Word for the Weekend" on September 27, 2025 and can be found on RTN and Moriel's YouTube and ministry channels.

 In this teaching, the speaker introduces Genesis (Beresheet) through a distinctly Jewish-Christian lens, arguing that the Bible is a unified, Christ-centered revelation in which Genesis, Proverbs 8, the Gospel of John, John's Epistles, and Revelation form a deliberate theological structure—“like a loaf of bread, the same on both ends.” He explains how early Jewish believers understood Scripture typologically rather than as modern historiography, emphasizing historicity without modern historical genre, and shows how Jesus is present as God's agent of creation and new creation throughout the Old and New Testaments. Drawing connections between creation and redemption—light and darkness, water and the Spirit, the tree of life, the fig tree, marriage, and the Trinity—he frames Genesis as the foundation for understanding salvation history, human identity, marriage, gender roles, deception, and spiritual warfare. The message also addresses creation and science, warning against both Darwinism and naïve creationism, insisting Genesis answers why God created rather than how, and concluding that all Scripture—from Genesis to Revelation—reveals God declaring the end from the beginning, calling believers to read Genesis not only to learn what happened, but to understand what is happening now and what is yet to come. 

 In this intense and confrontational teaching from Jeremiah 14:13 through 15, Jacob Prasch interprets contemporary political violence, cultural collapse, and ecclesiastical apostasy through the lens of biblical judgment. Beginning with the assassination of a prominent Christian voice and the moral chaos surrounding it, Prasch frames current events as evidence of a society—and a church—being “given over” by God, echoing the divine prohibition given to Jeremiah not to pray any longer for a people who have chosen deception over truth. He exposes false prophets and corrupt clergy as modern counterparts to Jeremiah's day, explaining how counterfeit visions, occult divination, and self-deceived minds continue to mislead nations and believers alike. Moving verse by verse, he traces God's fourfold judgment—the sword, the dogs, the predatory birds, and the beasts—as prophetic patterns culminating ultimately in Babylon the Great, warning that mainstream Christendom itself is destined for captivity because it has abandoned repentance, holiness, and biblical authority. While emphasizing that God will preserve faithful individuals for His purposes, Prasch delivers a sobering conclusion: judgment begins in the house of God, and what happened in Jeremiah's generation is now unfolding again, inexorably, in our own.

Pastor Marco Quintana of the Community Church of Devore discusses the rise of AI. Although Pastor Marco gave this prophecy update on August 4, 2023, AI is even more prominent today. It is rapidly becoming a major force in our society taking over businesses, media, and even jobs to the point that we don't even know it's happening. Next year, in 2026, AI is certain to become bigger than it has ever been and will provide a greater view into the future of mankind than we have ever seen - for good and bad. Who knows, will AI usher in the antichrist and the return of Jesus, or is it just another passing fad?

The conception of Jesus has been a controversial subject over the years but is becoming more so in the present day.
