In this teaching, James Jacob examines where the church first went wrong by abandoning apostolic authority in favor of patristic (church-father), papal, or institutional authority, warning that this shift opened the door to enduring deception. Drawing on Acts 20:28–30, 2 Peter 2:1–3, 2 Corinthians 11:1–5, Revelation 2:2, Numbers 16, 2 Timothy 1:19–20; 2:17; 4:14, and 3 John 9–10, he shows a consistent biblical pattern: false teachers arise after God-appointed leaders, mix truth with error, promote “another Jesus, another spirit, and another gospel,” and draw disciples after themselves. He applies this framework to modern movements—especially Roman Catholicism and other traditions that appeal to church fathers to override Scripture—arguing that knowing the apostles or being historically connected to them does not confer doctrinal authority or spiritual legitimacy. The message concludes that Scripture alone, as the preserved apostolic witness to Christ, is the church’s final authority, and that deviation from it—however ancient, respected, or popular—leads inevitably to doctrinal corruption and division.

Biblical prophecy and progressive revelation; the sealing and unsealing of Daniel and Revelation; the Four Horsemen and the identity of Antichrist; the danger of conspiracy theories and speculative prophecy; discerning Scripture before interpreting current events; the Antichrist as a counterfeit of Christ; false peace and false unity; the limits of dogmatism in eschatology; Daniel’s visions (the statue, the ten toes, iron and clay); the ten horns/kings; Europe, global politics, and historical empires as prophetic shadows; Psalm 83 and Middle Eastern hostility toward Israel; the necessity of “proper food at the proper time” in understanding prophecy. 
Overall Summary:
In this extended teaching, Jacob Prasch urges believers to approach end-times prophecy with sobriety, humility, and strict fidelity to Scripture, warning against speculation, conspiracy theories, and premature certainty. He explains that biblical prophecy unfolds through progressive revelation, emphasizing that many details—particularly the identity of the Antichrist and the meaning of the ten horns—will only become fully clear when God “unseals” them at the appointed time. Drawing from Daniel, Revelation, the Gospels, and historical precedent, Prasch stresses that faithful believers will recognize the truth when the time comes, but not before, and that Scripture must interpret current events—not the other way around.
The message also explores the repeated biblical theme that human attempts at forced unity—political, cultural, or religious—ultimately fail, illustrated by Daniel’s image of iron mixed with clay and by historical and modern geopolitical examples. Prasch connects this to the Antichrist’s future counterfeit peace and global coalition, which will briefly succeed before collapsing under divine judgment. The teaching concludes with a pastoral exhortation: believers must diligently study, obey, and apply what God has already revealed, trusting that further understanding will be given only when it is truly needed.

Jacob Prasch continues his Jeremiah study (Jeremiah 18:11 onward), using the “potter and clay” warning as a parallel to what he sees as modern apostasy in the Church of England: he warns us of the British monarchy and Anglican leadership for abandoning the Reformation heritage (e.g., the 39 Articles and the martyrs), highlights perceived doctrinal collapse around ecumenism and LGBTQ affirmation, and frames this as the same “we’ll follow our own plans” stubbornness Jeremiah confronted. He then expounds Jeremiah’s imagery of leaving the “ancient paths” (Scripture and apostolic doctrine, not mere worship styles), arguing that deviation leads to national desolation and external judgment—specifically portraying Islam’s growth in Britain and the West as a consequence of the church losing its moral and spiritual witness. Finally, he follows the text into the religious establishment’s plot to silence Jeremiah (a model, in his view, for how compromised religious systems target truth-tellers), and he turns to Jeremiah’s anguished prayer that shifts from intercession to calling for judgment once repentance is refused—connecting this pattern to end-times themes (a transition from “tribulation” to “wrath”) while concluding that, despite institutional collapse, Christ will not forsake those who remain faithful to the biblical “highway.”

James Kitizaki of Moriel Ministries delivers a sober yet hope-filled message that contrasts the joy of worship with the growing cost of Christian faithfulness in an increasingly hostile culture. He opens with a powerful personal account of a Christian believer in Iraq who, despite being disowned by family and targeted by authorities for his faith in Christ, expressed profound joy rooted solely in knowing Jesus. This testimony sets the tone for Kitizaki’s central concern: while believers in the West still enjoy relative freedom, complacency and cultural compromise have weakened the church’s witness, even as pressures mount through social coercion, legal punishment, and ideological conformity. Drawing on examples such as Enoch Burke in Ireland and pastors persecuted during COVID restrictions, he warns that obedience to Christ will increasingly demand sacrifice, loss of status, and endurance through tribulation rather than escape from it.
Using the biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah as a prophetic pattern, Kitizaki argues that God consistently preserves the righteous through judgment, not by removing them from it. He challenges teachings that deny tribulation for believers, showing instead—from Genesis, the Exodus, the prophets, the early church, and Revelation—that faith is refined through suffering. He calls the church to reject isolation, pride, and fear, emphasizing that genuine Christian community is forged in hardship, forgiveness, and shared endurance. While judgment looms over corrupt systems, Kitizaki stresses God’s heart for rescue, not destruction, urging believers to plead for their neighbors, stand firm in truth, and trust that God can redeem even the darkest circumstances. The message concludes with encouragement: God knows the end from the beginning, will sustain His people through every trial, and invites believers to carry the true joy of the gospel into a world desperately seeking hope in all the wrong places.

In this episode of Lessons on Forgiveness, Sandy Simpson examines the biblical teaching that only God can forgive sins, while believers are called to forgive others in their hearts for personal offenses. Drawing from Ephesians 1:7 and Colossians 1:14, he explains that forgiveness before the Father comes solely through redemption in Christ. Simpson emphasizes that some sins—especially false teaching and false prophecy—are sins primarily against God and can cause serious spiritual harm to believers. Using passages such as Matthew 24:4–5, 10–13, 23–26 and Ephesians 4:15, he outlines the need for discernment, personal forgiveness that releases bitterness, and the responsibility to speak the truth in love.
The teaching further explains that public sins require public rebuke, supported by Scripture including Jeremiah 14:14; 23:25; 27:15; 29:23, Isaiah 8:20, Romans 16:17, Titus 3:10, Ephesians 5:11, 2 Corinthians 6:17, 2 Thessalonians 3:6, 14–15, 2 Timothy 3:5, 2 John 1:10, and Revelation 2:16. Simpson outlines three biblical reasons for exposing false teachers: to clarify the difference between true and false Christianity, to bring shame that may lead to repentance, and to warn believers away from deception. He concludes by stressing that while Christians may forgive false teachers personally and pray for their repentance, they must not enable deception by offering public forgiveness without repentance, affirming that judgment ultimately belongs to God.
