MORIEL

• Is a teaching ministry to believers that stresses the need to rediscover the scriptures as Hebraic literature (as opposed to Hellenistic literature)
• Is an evangelistic ministry to people of other faiths, beginning with the Jews and nominal (non- evangelical) Christians, such as Roman Catholics and liberal Protestants.
• Will stand against serious doctrinal error where it threatens the credibility of the gospel or undermines the authority of scripture.

• Be Alert! SPECIAL: Scion's "Little Deviants"
• July 17, 2007: Scion, a division of Toyota whose marketing focus is towards Generation-Y (generally born from 1978 - 1998) has a new ad campaign called "Little Deviants" in which the phrase "be a little deviant" is used towards their new xD vehicle. What is even stranger is that the production company that produced this campaign is called Shilo.
  
  The campaign so far involves a theatrical quality video spot running in movie theaters and "The Book of Deviants" flash based video game on the Scion website where players are encouraged to kill the "boring and bleating Sheeple"
  

• Be Alert! Sanhedrin: Bush is chief prince of Meshech and Tubal
• January 12, 2008: You may be shocked to see Bush addressed as The Chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal as many have a leader from Russia, possibly Putin already pegged as that very person.

• Be Alert! Concerning the Climate, only Scripture is Correct
• February 4, 2008: The Bible emphatically declares in Genesis 8:22 that as long at the earth remains it will continue to have seasons. That means that there will not be any sort of global change on the scale that the establishment media, educational establishment and political/corporate governing marriage wishes you to believe as long as this current heaven and earth remains.

• Be Alert! In Defense of Chuck Smith & Calvary Chapel, Dave Hunt, & Roger Oakland
• February 8, 2008: Moriel Ministries & Jacob Prasch take extreme exception to the long statement highly critical of Chuck Smith, various Calvary Chapels, Roger Oakland and Dave Hunt by Richard Abanes of Saddleback Church in reaction to their expressed position regarding The Purpose Driven Agenda of Rick Warren. Mr. Abanes wrote as an apologist for Rick Warren and the Saddleback Purpose Driven ethos.

• Be Alert! 02-12-08 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days
• February 12, 2008: We have the whole alien/demonic trend that is growing and we can add to the new age and the year 2012. But now let's add to that Global Transformation, the cry that we have been hearing from Christian and business circles finds a common theme with the UFO phenomena.
  

• Be Alert! Answering 'Zeitgeist' The Movie
• February 17, 2008: 'Christianity along with all other theistic belief systems is the fraud of the age.' So claims the popular film 'Zeitgeist' which is attracting over 2 million viewers a month on its Internet site, according to its publicity material. Zeitgeist means 'Spirit of the Age' in German.

• Be Alert! 02.27.08 For false Christs and false prophets will arise
• February 27, 2008: Is Obama the messiah? Websites capture wave of transcendent fervor - Moriel displays this website not as a political statement endorsing or attacking any presidential candidate but only to display the spiritually sick low ebb modern American society is gravitating towards as a purely theological statement consistent with that area of our mission and calling to alert The Body of Christ to what is happening. --- More
  

• Be Alert! Two Exceptional Commentaries: Must Read
• March 11, 2008: --- Now the church is so deluded that the one thing that we are look to as our blessed hope is now called gloom, depressing, and negativity. Of course, these are teachings of the world, not the word of God, but that is what is being taught in the church today, the teachings of the world, the philosophy of men.
  
  Now this philosophy has spread to all quarters, everything is upside down and backwards. Even those few groups in the world who understand some truths ultimately turn on two things: The true church and Israel.

• Be Alert! Microchips everywhere: A future vision
• March 12, 2008: Marketing, crime, pestilence, disaster and the natural propensity to misuse technology: Paving the way towards the mark .
  Here's a vision of the not-so-distant future: Microchips with antennas will be embedded in virtually everything . . . .

• Be Alert! 03.22.08 All Roads Leading to Rome
• March 22, 2008: Fox News in America ran an interesting segment today regarding the timing of Bin Laden's latest recorded message against the Pope and Europe. Their general conclusion was that fearing irrelevance he is trying to keep whatever influence he still has in the Islamic world in the face of ever growing ecumenical ties between Islam and Roman Catholicism. --- Negotiations are underway to build the first Catholic church in Saudi Arabia with King Abdullah lending his support for its construction.

• Be Alert! The Movie Fitna and the Plague of Islam
• March 29, 2008: This alert has the link to the movie FITNA ("Discord" in Arabic) that exposes the evils of radical Islam. This is a must see. In addition, there is a couple additional links to important related short films.

• Be Alert! Behold, a black horse
• April 1, 2008: This alert complies a number of articles regarding the skyrocketing global rise in food prices. This is something the world as a whole as never encountered, but all the pieces are now falling into place for a worldwide famine to occur.
  
  Also, note that natural famine in scripture is always a type of famine for the word of God and indeed there is a global famine for the hearing of God's word today.

• Be Alert! The Global Spread of Islam
• April 9, 2008: There are 150 sects of Islam, Sunni & Shia being the largest but Ahmadi, Sufi, Birhani, Nation of Islam, Alewa etc. being among the others.
  
  If you put all of the Islamic sects together, they are bigger than Roman Catholicism. However, this fails to compare like with like. If you compare like with like, putting all sects of Christendom together, there are twice as many broadly defined 'Christians' as there are Moslems in the world. Moreover, Roman Catholicism is larger than either Sunni or Shia, so it remains the largest religious institution by far.

• Be Alert! Papal Visit To USA
• April 16, 2008: The US Department of Justice squashed a prosecution brought against Pope Benedict XVI because it is not normally legally possible to bring a prosecution or criminally related litigation against a foreign head of state (a status the Pope enjoys ever since Ronald Reagan granted fill diplomatic recognition to the Vatican as a nation).

• Be Alert! To destroy those who destroy the earth
• April 18, 2008: Technology in an of itself is not evil but anything in hands of fallen man can be used for evil purposes and man has pushed technology to such a point that as you will see in the following reports we are pushing into all sorts of unknown territories. Fallen man just does not know what he is really doing with many of these technologies and thankfully, the Lord is watching over us to prevent us from destroying ourselves, something we would surely do without His intervention.

• Be Alert! Cloning & DNA: Sowing with two kinds of seed
• April 20, 2008: Nephilim: What to Consider:
  Collection of recent articles on DNA research, cloning, government black projects and more---

• Be Alert! Politics in the USA: Riding the Beast
• April 30, 2008: The popularity of Obama among so many White Democrats (and even some Republicans) plainly shows that Jeremiah Wright, like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson etc. are living in a world that does not even exist anymore. Indeed, they must. They carved their niche by pounding on the drum of Black victimization by a White establishment that they must continue to pound even though the beat has become politically and sociologically redundant and their rhetoric obsolete in an America where there have been two consecutive African American Secretaries of State and an African American with a Moslem father who in elections can defeat Caucasian rival candidates in all White states.

• Be Alert! First Passover Lamb Sacrificed in Jerusalem since 70AD
• May 1, 2008: As far as I am aware and according to everyone I have talked to this was a very unique sacrifice. Those that I've talked to seem to believe that it is the first time they have done a sacrifice like this since the days of the temple (70AD) - - - -.

• Be Alert! World Famine: Opening of the 3rd Seal
• May 2, 2008: It amazes me how quickly this has come upon the world. As the world has transformed into a global marketplace there is now less room for error to occur or to be absorbed. This current growing crisis is the conglomeration of many different problems compounded, and since most of the world is now an interdependent marketplace, all become affected.

• Be Alert! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
• May 11, 2008: It is not surprising that as Israel celebrates its sixtieth anniversary violence is breaking loose as to tarnish its joy. For those of us who know the Lord and understand the truth Israel is the ultimate picture of the prodigal son. Since we know the end of the 'story', we can see in this metaphor that he has come back home and now only a matter of a short time before his eyes open and sees the truth, repents and believes in his Messiah.

• Be Alert! Pestilence: Morgellons disease caused by genetically modified foods?
• May 19, 2008: The worldwide growth of disease and various plagues are another ominous sign that we are growing ever closer to the point that Jesus must return to save us from complete destruction. On one hand, it is gloomy that things are so bad but on the other, it is truly wonderful that our Lord is coming soon, we are to be comforted as Paul tells us in Thessalonians. This is the number one focus we should always have before anything else, even before the timing issues.

• Be Alert! Blood Red Moon Signs of 1949 & 1967 to Occur in 2014-15
• May 24, 2008: The first article in this alert has to do with the rare occurrence of four consecutive full Lunar eclipses called a tetrad, scheduled to take place during Passover and Sukkot (Tabernacles) in 2014 and 2015. What is so interesting about this is that the last two times this occurred was both Passover and Sukkot of 1949-1950, and again both Passover and Sukkot of 1967-1968. You may recognize these years as being very historically significant in the history and regathering of Israel as a nation.

• Be Alert! : URGENT Prayer Requests & Updates - Persecution
• May 30, 2008: This alert addresses both Christian persecution taking place around the world and Jesus' warning in the Olivet Discourse of Kingdoms and Nations rising up against one another. - Also included is a much requested update on Ami.

• Be Alert! Beware of Todd Bentley: False Signs & Wonders in Florida
• May 31, 2008: Compilation of reports on Todd Bentley, the latest false prophet/teacher to create a great stir of interest in and calls of “Revival” along the lines of Toronto, Pensacola and Holy Trinity Brompton in London. Articles by Jackie Alnor, Pastor Bill Randles and Jacob Prasch, and more---

• Be Alert! Eyes of the LORD vs eyes of Antichrist
• June 5, 2008: Swarms of robot “bugs” with micro-cameras, surveillance cameras creating virtual fences around cities and an ability to spy on nearly every public activity and even now peer into not so public places; that is cameras that can see through clothing. While the eyes of the LORD search to and fro to support those whose heart completely belongs to Him, the enemy of man’s soul is using fallen man’s technology to set up a system of virtual omniscience for the coming Lawless One.

• Be Alert! Rick Warren Gives the Glory to the Bride - False Prophet Update
• June 9, 2008: This alert covers a number of recent developments regarding Rick Warren and the new false prophet crowd.
  

• Be Alert! Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock
• June 10, 2008: This is a collection of recent articles concerning the falling away happening in the church. Things seem to be speeding up dramatically on all fronts and it is difficult at times to "see to forest for the trees" so to speak, but this single sign of the Lord's return ranks number one on the list of all signs as to how close His return is.

• Be Alert! URGENT Moriel Tanzania Missions Prayer Request
• June 10, 2008: It seems in village conflict in tribal cultures (most of our girls are Masai saved out of paganism) a number of our students have been raped and it is an ongoing problem hidden due to a sense of embarrassment and tribal taboo over the possibility of HIV infection (it is a high AIDS infected area, as well as the usual malaria and African Yellow Fever). We were devastated to know that our girls were being raped and face the risk of it on a regular basis going to and from the school. Finally, with my arrival one girl was chosen to speak for the class.

• Be Alert! Tanzania Missions Update
• June 14, 2008: Many have requested how to donate and so I have added a direct link on the left hand side bar to the Moriel Donations page as well as a link in the first article below.
  (Includes update on Tanzania Mission)

• Be Alert! Anti-Semitism being written into computer code?
• June 22, 2008: This is a short form alert containing two important articles on anti-Semitism that is finding its way into the computer world, specifically the code written for programming on the Internet.

• Be Alert! Tanzania Mission Report - Update 3: Please Read
• June 23, 2008: Report of the Tanzania Mission Trip and overview of the needs of the schoolgirls by Dave Royle.

• Be Alert! Update on Todd Bentley and Lakeland - Scholarly Rebuttal
• June 27, 2008: Shortly after the first Be Alert! was published and sent regarding the so-called revival taking place in Lakeland, Florida an email was generated from Ignited Church, the church hosting the nightly meetings with Todd Bentley. This email asks one to visit an apologetic regarding the "Florida Outpouring" to answer questions and criticisms one might have. "The Truth" is the name that appeared in the subject line of this email. This alert contains two rebuttals to that apologetic as well as a third article on the false revival.
  

• Be Alert! Sun into darkness & Moon into blood
• July 3, 2008: This alert focuses on how close to home real persecution is hitting and how soon a publication such as this one could be illegal. It will be evident how ridiculous the so-called revivals occurring in places like Lakeland, Florida are when in one state over in Alabama, Christian parents are having their child taken away by the State just because they are Christian and a "Christian upbringing" has been deemed child abuse by an activist judge.
  That however, is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. It is the days of Lot as violent 'Sodomites' are on the warpath to destroy any rights one has to speak Biblical truth. Add to that radical Islam and every other special interest under the Sun and true Christianity will be deemed a "plague" the world must rid itself.

• Be Alert! Law: Paving the way towards the mark
• July 5, 2008: 9/11 has been used against America and Britain to further the cause of an anti-Christ system of Laws faster than anything anyone could have ever imagined and most Christians have gone right along with it blinded by a so-called Christian president all in the name of security.
  A collection of recent articles on anti-privacy laws and the growing worldwide police state.

• Be Alert! Rome to the Rescue?
• July 17, 2008: This collection of news reports focuses on mainly the Roman Catholic Church and those in the Anglican Church who are turning to Rome as the alternative to their apostate denomination (that is to say where the official leadership has headed). Also, included are a number of related articles.

• Be Alert! The prince of the kingdom of Persia
• July 24, 2008: The focus of this alert is on what is most important concerning the "cup of trembling" that Jerusalem is to be in these last days. Scripture makes it clear that despite all the rhetoric the real issue is Jerusalem. That is issue number one when it comes to all that is taking place in Israel, the Middle East and in the world except for perhaps the falling away in the church and the unity of false religions.

• Be Alert! Technology: Paving the way towards the mark
• August 5, 2008: This alert is a continuation of a series called 'Paving the way Towards the Mark', this one focusing on technology.
  God is omniscient, however antichrist is not and once he arrives on the scene with his cohort the false prophet, they will need to use something to try to gain this advantage. Many believe the technology we see today will very soon bring this to fruition.
  

• Be Alert! False Prophets, False Christs and the Falling Away
• August 8, 2008: This alert is collection of recent reports covering the broad spectrum of the falling away, from the socialized and commercialized approach to doing church to those approving of blatant immorality and the eventual unity of all false religion under a false prophet.

• Be Alert! Has Gog of Magog been Hooked in the Jaws?
• August 15, 2008: Concerning the outbreak of warfare between Russia and the Georgia Republic this alert will give you some perspectives you may not have heard, beginning with a report and prayer request from Moriel's missionary to Beslan, Russia Jason Catizon, which is very near to the border with Georgia and South Ossetia.
  With this collection of articles the focus is intentionally on surrounding factors and not the fighting itself since most see that covered nearly continuously.

• Be Alert! 'Bam' ends with a Thud: Bentley Steps Down
• August 27, 2008: Below are a number of reports regarding the collapse of the so-called "revival" in Lakeland, Florida that has now come to an end with Todd Bentley stepping down from ministry. Please realize that this is not in anyway looking to make light of or rejoice in the sin that has befallen his wife, himself and others closely involved but to show the real fruit of this ministry and as you will see this is not the first time these things have occurred.

• Be Alert! Proof of Jeremiah Unearthed in Jerusalem
• August 31, 2008: Some of my favorite topics to cover in the alert are those discoveries that continue to disprove the skeptics such as the many archeological finds that show the Bible has been correct all along.
  This alert is a compilation of such articles plus others regarding signs in the heavens and developments in Israel with the Temple Mount and other Biblical locations.
