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. 

Catching Up With Jacob is political commentary from a Biblical perspective. This week join Jay, Jacob, Davy, and Elon as they discuss today's hot topics. 

Originally recorded January 2, 2026.

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!

God 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. Word for the Weekend streams live every Saturday. See RTNTV.org for more information

 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. 

With today's political climate, the rise of AI, and the world's decision to embrace Islam as a religion of peace, the world is moving from a slow decline to a rapid fall into ungodliness. In this three part series, James Jacob Prasch discusses the coming and inevitable persecution of Christians and how we should prepare for it.
