 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.
