- Be Alert! Prophetic Signs Everywhere
- September 19, 2009: I trust this alert will be an encouragement to all as the articles cover everything from the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem to the rebuilding of Babylon in modern Iraq. ...

- Be Alert! 'Hatred is turning me into a Jew'
- September 3, 2009: The title of this alert comes from a commentary by Nick Cohen published back in February called "Hatred is turning me into a Jew". This commentary appears about half way down this edition of Be Alert!
What struck me immediately when reading this is how The Word of The LORD is coming true and so few know or understand it. Through the worldwide hatred of the Jewish People, God is drawing them together, back to their heritage and back to their land. God prophesied all this thousands of years ago in intricate details. Now more Jewish People are coming to believe in their Messiah Yeshua than ever before. Indeed, they need to before the time of Jacob's trouble when the Bible tells us that two thirds of all Jewish people will be killed before Christ returns. This is terrible but the truth that must be told.

- Be Alert! Pray for 17-year-old Rifqa Bary
- August 23, 2009: An Orlando judge ruled Friday that 17-year-old Rifqa Bary can stay under protective custody in Florida as authorities there launch an investigation into her family and the Muslim community in Ohio where she lives. The teenager ran away last month because she believed her family would kill her for converting to Christianity. The girl's family members, who originally are from Sri Lanka, say they have never threatened to harm her.

- Be Alert! Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great
- August 21, 2009: Persecution of Christians is growing exponentially.
Missionary/street preacher and fellow Be Alert! subscriber Miguel Hayworth gives his personal testimony regarding the current persecution occurring in the UK, persecution he is personally experiencing. The Scriptures declare that this will only grow worse before the resurrection and rapture of the Bride of Christ.

- Be Alert! Influential Turkish Muslim Leader wants Temple Rebuilt
- August 7, 2009: In a historically unprecedented development, a famous, controversial but highly influential Muslim intellectual and author with over 65 million of his books in circulation worldwide, Turkish leader Adnan Oktar recently met with three representatives from the re-established Jewish Sanhedrin to discuss how religious Muslims, Jews and Christians can work together. One of their declared goals: to rebuild the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.
|
- Be Alert! Tisha B' Av - The kings of the earth take their stand
- July 29, 2009: This alert is, as much as possible, is a comprehensive overview of recent happenings concerning the most important nation ever in the history of mankind, Israel.
That is not my opinion, but fact because the Word of God declares it. Most of the world, and even more startlingly, most professing Christians deny this. How can this be when the whole context and content of Scripture point to God working through this nation? It is actually not that surprising when this same world and majority of professing 'Christians' are blinded from understanding that same Word of God that declares from start to finish the saving gospel of grace by faith in His Son, The Lord Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man and fully an ethnic Hebrew, also known as Yeshua Ha Mochiach (Jesus the Messiah).

- Be Alert! Regarding Scott Johnson/Messianic and Hebrew Roots Movements
- July 17, 2009: Today not only is there the endless barrage of hideous wolves in sheep's clothing leading the church astray and maligning the truth, but we have watchman that are not creating confusion and congestion making the work of the true pastors, teachers, prophets and watchmen all the more difficult. Here is a case in point.
|
- Be Alert! Purpose Driven Jihad?
- July 14, 2009: A compilation of articles concerning Rick Warren's appearance at the ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) in Washington D.C. on July 4th.
|
- Be Alert! God shall send them strong delusion
- June 18, 2009: This is the latest alert on the number one sign of Christ's soon return the falling away in the church. More and more this falling away is happening in what was once the soundest of denominations and fellowships including the latest sad news from Calvary Chapel.
|
- Be Alert! The Mark of the Beast
- June 14, 2009: Christian nations are the most oppressed electronic police states. The nations with the most severe persecution outside of the Muslim nations, North Korea and China (which also happen to have exploding populations of true believers) lead the list, and then the formerly 'Christian' nations of the West follow. Only a few Muslim nations even make the rankings and this includes none of the major Muslim nations of the Middle East.

- Be Alert! Why does Obama smile at dictators?
- June 6, 2009: Barack Obama painted in a crucifixion pose with a crown of thorns; add that to the previous 'Triumphal entry on a donkey', and other un-Christian happenings, sworn in without a Bible, and Muslims calling Obama the first "Muslim" President and now his bowing to the Saudi King. I do not believe Barack Obama is The Antichrist, but he clearly is giving us a crash course in how someone could appear from virtual obscurity to political stardom overnight and be blatantly worshipped by both his followers and an bedazzled media without as much as a hint that something about this is abnormal from the public.
|
- Be Alert! Babylon (Rome) has not been healed
- May 16, 2009: Babylon cannot be healed! Many have tried for a long time including Martin Luther and John Calvin, however they failed and had to leave and all must leave Babylon when they learn the truth, and that is the truth and the truth of God's word.
In the case of this alert, I am applying this ugly truth to Roman Catholicism, which is a horrific mixture of gospel truth and pagan lies. Throughout the scripture, God declares that He hates a mixture and this mixture is indefensible Biblically.
|
- Be Alert! Work while it is still light
- May 7, 2009: This alert is concerned with the mounting attacks against the freedom we have had using the Internet for ministry and the general turning tide against those who proclaim the truth. We need to be aware of what is taking place so we can bring our concerns to The Lord in prayer and when possible, by all means, take lawful actions that can promote liberty for men and the gospel.

- Be Alert! Nation rising agianst nation
- April 28, 2009: Probably the number one single cause of the ethnic uprising we see across much of the globe can be traced back to the carving up of parts of the first Roman Empire, that is Europe, Africa, The Middle East and Asia by the Allied countries after World Wars One and Two where national boundaries did not match those of ethnic ones.
Add to this Islam and the desire of it's fundamentalist proponents to take over nations, uprisings due to class based oppression, class warfare and the desire for wealth redistribution, lawlessness of all sorts including drug smuggling and illegal immigration, to kidnapping and slavery, the need for natural resources and what can simply be labeled as "racism" and we have a toxic brew across the entire globe ready to explode.
This is clearly a time to keep your eyes focused on The Lord Jesus and to Be Alert!

- Be Alert! Just as it happened in the days of Noah
- April 19, 2009: Genesis 6:12 tells us that "all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth" and this obviously refers to moral corruption, however, many students of the scripture would see a duel meaning here in that when the 'Sons of God' (fallen angels) took the daughters of men, the gene pool of man was corrupted. There is other evidence to suggest this went further to effect animals and even some plant life.

- Be Alert! Rick Warren on Prop 8: "I never once even gave an endorsement"
- April 14, 2008: We have been sounding the warning regarding Rick Warren for a long time, that his use of business models for ministry are unbiblical and that he preaches an incomplete gospel in his best selling The Purpose Driven Life. Most dangerous has been his eisegetical approach to scripture where one teaches his own ideas or views, in this case using multiple translations (namely the apostate paraphrase The Message) until finding the one that seems to say what they are trying to communicate rather than a diligent exegetical study of scripture to "draw out" what God is communicating to us.
It does appear from some of the articles below that due to Warren's latest inconsistency many more may be waking up to the sad fact that he is not the great evangelical leader many believed him to be.

- Be Alert! See to it that no one misleads you
- April 2, 2009: Never, since I began collecting media reports and sifting them through the world-view of the Scriptures, have I seen such a group of reports as dismal as these concerning the state of the faith. The "church" as it once was, barely ceases to exist, and in my understanding, there is not much time remaining before "no stone remains unturned" of this current temple.

- Be Alert! There will be ... Great Signs from Heaven
- March 25, 2009: One beautiful example I recently viewed was an astro-psychicist explaining the biggest problem with the "Big-Bang" theory. The Big Bang, as with any explosion should have created a lumpy mess, i.e., a Universe that has clumps and lumps in some places and nothing in others. However, the Universe is just the opposite, it is nice and evenly spread out in all directions. Therefore, the scientists have to modify their theories to explain this. If however, they just read the scripture, they would find that The LORD, stretched out the heavens, like a scroll or a tent. I found as others have that this perfectly explains the problems the "wise men" of this age are having such a hard time understanding.

- Be Alert! Pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth
- March 9, 2009: Pestilence and plagues are another one of the birth pangs or signs to watch for mentioned by Jesus in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24-25, Mark 13 and Luke 21) given to His disciples concerning the question "... when will these things be, [referring to Jesus' statement regarding the destruction of the Second Temple] and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"

- Be Alert! My Muslim President Obama
- March 2, 2009: Why members of the Islamic faith see him as one of the flock
FORBES - Commentary by Asma Gull Hasan - February 25, 2009
I know President Obama is not Muslim, but I am tempted nevertheless to think that he is, as are most Muslims I know.
Most of the Muslims I know (me included) can't seem to accept that Obama is not
Muslim.

- Be Alert! The Road to Artificial Omniscience
- February 24, 2009: At the first coming of Christ, very few if any had interpreted the scriptures correctly, as to how they would be fulfilled. That should be a great lesson to us and I always take heed concerning that fact and am comfortable in not understanding every prophecy regarding Christ's second coming. It should be a warning sign when someone claims to have 'everything figured out'.
|
- Be Alert! To the angel of the church in Smyrna
- February 16, 2009: Collection of current articles covering the massive increase in the persecution of the brethren worldwide - this issue has a number of articles concerning the UK also.
|
- Be Alert! Kingdom of the forgotten
- February 6, 2009: "On the inconsistency of the media with regards to selective coverage, Lane recalled the recent attacks in Mumbai and noted that an attack involving five-star hotels and many expatriates and tourists received blow-by-blow coverage while in the same country, churches were being burned down, huge mobs were hunting down Christians, evicting them and slaughtering them in broad daylight, while they were forced to flee to forests to survive. If the media had devoted even a third of the attention they gave the Mumbai attacks to coverage of the persecution in Orissa, Lane believes the situation would have been different for these Christians."
|
- Be Alert! Inauguration, Interfaith, Israel, Intrigue and Islam
- February 2, 2009: This alert also looks at some of that anti-Christian and anti-Israeli policy and the messianic cult of personality surrounding Barack Obama that should make every believer take pause including the first article concerning an artist that has Obama riding a donkey in Des Moines, Iowa a la Christ's triumphal entry on Palm Sunday.
|
- Be Alert! God will send a deluding influence
- January 21, 2009: The apostasy is at full throttle and all one needs to do is gaze at the headlines of the past few weeks and compare them with what the Bible states and they will see this is true.
|
- Be Alert! Why are the nations in an uproar...?
- January 11, 2009: This is a bit of a smorgasbord of news items concerning Israel, much having to do with the current situation in Gaza, but other items that concern worldwide anti-Semitism, the ongoing land issues and even some very interesting "good" news features.
|
- Be Alert! "How long, O Lord, holy and true...?"
- December 31, 2008: As we reach the end of 2008 and for many of you it is already 2009 it seemed fitting to for the last alert of the year to again remember our many brothers and sisters in Christ who are facing unimaginable persecution at the hands of both vicious unbelievers and so-called believers world-wide.
|
- Be Alert! The Spirit explicitly says
- December 2, 2008: Without exception, the largest problem among Christians is that the majority of those who claim to be "born-again" do not understand even the fundamental doctrines taught in the Bible.
|
- Be Alert! International State Of Moriel 2008/2009
- November 27, 2008: As we come to the end of 2008 and approach 2009, it is a time of reflection and seeking The Lord for the future, and for thanking The Lord for His goodness and provision. It is also a time for thanking our brethren for their much needed prayers and generous support, especially for missions and evangelism as Moriel enters into its fifteenth year by The Lord's grace.
|
- Be Alert! Whether for correction, for His land, Or for mercy - He Causes it
- November 11, 2008: Scripture does plainly speak of earth changing events taking place before the return of Christ; however, these are tied to judgments that come from The LORD Himself. We understand as well that the creation itself groans from man's sin, and from the context of Scripture, this is man's evil dealings, murders and idolatries, not sins against nature.
|
- Be Alert! Obama and the Messiah complex
- October 31, 2008: T-Shirts that say 'Messiah2008', a blog called "Is Barack Obama the Messiah", shrines to Obama, a supporter posting on Obama's official Website that says "Obama is God", numerous photo-shopped pictures of Obama with halos around his head. This is just a small sampling of 'messianic' fervor, adoration and worship like atmosphere surrounding this presidential candidate.
|
- Be Alert! Gold will not deliver in the day of wrath
- October 6, 2008: The Bible depicts a last days' Super Babylon where false religion and mammon worship are married and the development of that state is already well underway. All that remains is what the final rendering will be and who will be its head, which is the anti-Christ.
