The study this week moves into the final Book in the Torah, Debarim.
Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for an introduction to “the Words” (Ha Debarim, Deuteronomy/Debarim 1:1-3:22) that Moshe spoke to ALL of the sons of Israel during the final month of his life. And they still speak to us today.
This is THE Book that was quoted more frequently than any other reference during the American founding era, and is arguably the foundation for Covenant with Yah on (as will be discussed…) a “monumental scale.”
It’s also vital, “in such a time as this,” that we understand how it reflects New Challenges that we will face, and how we walk as we do.
This week we take a look at a double parsha, Matot and Masei (Numbers 30:2 through the end of the Book).
Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship as he takes a look at the story, and some of the implications of a people who ignore one of the most important sets of “chuqqim” in the Torah when it comes to Relationship.
First, the Erev Shabbat overview:
The Sabbath Day teaching this week has a very “hard edge,” even for those used to the fact that Mark doesn’t “pull punches.”
But were are at a place in history, the fall of nations, and the rise of a ‘Fourth Reich,’ where speaking the Truth boldly is a matter of life and death. And we had better learn to recognize people whose word has no worth.
Parsha ‘Pinchas’ — aka ‘Phineas’ in some English Bibles — (Numbers 25:10 – 30:1) may be one of the most problematic stories in the Scripture. Here’s a guy who sees a sex act associated clearly with a fake, pagan god, being perpetrated right “before God and everybody” (Hmm. Kinda like what kids see on network TV, and in their public indoctrination centers…)
And he gets up and does something about it. Something that today might be called murder.
And Yah not only stops a plague in consequence, but gives the ‘perp’ His eternal “Covenant of Peace,” and the priesthood to go with it.
Today, you can talk about, teach, and DO similar things, and probably get an interview on CNN. But if you honestly talk about what Pinchas DID, and what the implications might be, you’ll probably be banned from Two-facedbook and Twitter, or worse.
Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship as he takes a look at the ‘tough question’ here, and more.
First, the Erev Shabbat overview:
The Sabbath Day teaching goes there.
But in the AmeriKan Fourth Reich, on a weekend where people once celebrated that men knew exactly WHY “governments were instituted among men” and Who they served, you had better be careful how to even phrase that question.
Join Mark Call for a two-part look at parsha “Balak,” (Numbers chapters 22:2-25:9) and a story that ranges from the whimsical (you probably know what that means) to parallels and warnings that must not be ignored. But they will be.
First, the Erev Shabbat overview:
The Sabbath Day teaching is all about ‘parallels’. And it’s not just that we have ‘modern Balaams’ (they’re often called “televangelists”) and wannabe kings equally bent on cursing people they see as deplorables. But it’s HOW they go about getting people once SO blessed to curse THEMSELVES that ought to REALLY hit home today!
“Balak: They cursed themselves, too”

Mark Call finally returns to Shabbat Shalom Mesa for the first live teachings since returning home from the lengthy hospitalization, and it is parsha “Chukat.” (Numbers chapters 19 through 21)
From the “enigma” of the Red Heiffer, to the mistake that cost Moshe his trip across the river into the land, there is a lot of vital material in here. But perhaps most interesting is the contention that Mark will explore; ultimately everything in here is about Death. And cleaning…and thus also a lot of things that either get “twisted” by the pagan traditions we “inherited from our fathers,” or ignored altogether.
First, the Erev Shabbat overview:
The Sabbath Day teaching: “Chukat: It’s all about Death – and cleansing…”

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at the double-parsha which concludes the Book of Leviticus (Vayikra).
And since this one includes one of the most blunt, even ‘terrifying’ sets of curses in the Bible, it’s also one of those “Olde Testament” warnings that ‘the church’ would really rather ignore.
Don’t!
The Truth is, the consequences of what this particular parsha warns have never been more obvious.
First, the Erev Shabbat reading and overview commentary on this week’s parsha itself.
This Sabbath day teaching explores a longstanding argument about whether His Torah describes “community responsibilites,” or individual. Obviously, the Truth is that it’s about both. But given that both houses were exiled for their collective failures, and we are STILL out there, there is another vital message to take to heart today!
“Behar-Bechukotai: Do NOT continue to walk contrary to Me!”
The combined two-part teaching is here, via Hebrew Nation Radio.
Why is the Whore Church powerless to speak the Truth?
Because “the Truth is NOT in them,” and the lies of men matter more to them than what Yahuah has actually Written.
Share this one with those who are honestly seeking the Truth, or who wonder why it’s still important to keep His actual Sabbath, or the ‘Jewish’ feasts.
Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at what he calls a “proof parsha” (Emor) against the Biggest Lie That is NOT in Scripture: ‘the law was done away with.” (Vayikra/Lev. chapters 21 through 24).
This is not only more of the Torah that most of the ‘sun[god]day church’ prefers to ignore: it’s specific commandments that they must outright deny. But they come right out and deny the very Messiah that they claim to follow in the process. No wonder they can’t call out the obvious hypocrisies of two-faced “justice,” blatant racism masquerading as ‘tolerance, blind ‘wokism,’ or even denying His protection and healing!
Have you even heard some of these ‘blind guides’ telling dumbed-down paganized xtians that “jesus would take the poke?”? Shaul/Paul was ALREADY seeing that trend (II Corinthians 11:4) almost 2000 years ago. Since then they deny His very Name and call Him a liar outright.
Most of us who seek to return (tshuv) to Torah As Written understand that Yahushua didn’t change “one yod or tiddle,” of His own Word. But there are few more condensed, dramatic illustrations of that fact than this week’s parsha.
First, the Erev Shabbat reading and overview commentary on this week’s parsha itself.
This Sabbath day teaching is again one that will cause “many to be offended,” not only for and by His Name, but because they have been taught NOT to ‘love the Truth.’ But that is no doubt why we were given the positive example of the Bereans in Acts 17:11, to search out these things for ourselves in Scripture, and SEE that they are true!
“Emor: Who Do You TRUST?”
The combined two-part teaching is here, via Hebrew Nation Radio.
This week’s teaching reminds us that “the life is in the blood.” And just maybe that’s why the ‘god of this world,’ is so intent on injecting, spilling, and defiling it.
Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for what is again a “double parsha,” including first Acharei Mot [“after the death”], and then Kedoshim. (Vayikra/Lev. chapters 16 through 20).
This is more of the Torah that most of the ‘sun[god]day church’ prefers to ignore. But the fact that so much of this instruction is so VERY ‘politically incorrect’ speaks volumes about WHY the land is so defiled.
Virtually every commandment in this portion is antithetical to the new AmeriKan regime. But, even in a world where what Yahuah calls “abomination” is celebrated, subsidized, and finally mandated, the instruction, “do not stand idly by the blood of your neighbor,” might just be The Most Offensive to the Almighty State. Especially given the context of “love your neighbor.”
There is more “food for thought” in this teaching that most of ‘feel-good xtianity’ (and all of the New Regime) will be able to tolerate.
First, the Erev Shabbat overview of this weeks reading, from atonement and the Azazel, to ‘prohibited sexual relations,’ and beyond. And that will make clear why it’s even TALKING about this parsha that will likely be censored.
This Sabbath day teaching would be banned from TwoFaceBook and Twitter, and certainly the Publik Indoctrinashun Centers that masquerade as ‘schools,’ too. Which is why Mark takes a look at some of the Biggest Whoppers on the Whore Church parade of twistings along the way.
Still though, it’s the admonition to NOT ‘stand idly by the blood of your neighbor,’ that should keep most of a formerly-free population awake at night.
“Acharei Mot – Kedoshim: Can Another Land ‘vomit out’ the Inhabitants AGAIN?”
The combined two-part teaching is here, via the page from Hebrew Nation Radio.
Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part study of parsha Yitro (Exodus/Shemot chapters 18 through 20). Among other things, this one famously includes the ‘marriage covenant at Sinai,’ and thus the first ‘download’ of the ‘Ten Debarim,’ sayings, words, or…commandments.
But it begins with the story of Moshe’s father-in-law, Yitro, (or ‘Jethro,’ in the usual English rendering) who turns out to have some pretty good advice to impart.
The Erev Shabbat overview lays out the story:
Early in this story, Yitro tells his son-in-law that he is literally overburdening himself — now we’d say heading to “burnout,” and this is “lo tov,” NOT good. Interesting, though, this phrase is only used one other place in the Torah, Genesis 2:18, where it is ‘lo tov’ that Adam should be alone. And here is Moses surrounded by people, yet managing to ACT like he has to do it all alone!
Somehow, there’s a very important message in there for us as well.

Posted inUncategorized|Comments Off on Parsha “Yitro” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa
This week the regular reading is a “double parsha,” including both Tazria, and then Metzorah. (Vayikra/Lev. chapters 12 through 15).
But they go together very well, because both largely have to do with a “plague” that is very much NOT to be confused with, or translated as, “leprosy.” But that begs several questions (very much things Mark will address!) — including, first, “well, then, what IS this thing, “tzaraat?”
And second, if we don’t really know what it is anymore anyway, because we haven’t seen ‘cases’ (much less infections) for centuries, “Why does it even matter?”
Ah, and THAT turns out to be a VERY Big Deal!
Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa for an examination of why it is still vital that we understand the difference between the “holy and the profane,” and the “clean and the unclean.” Yeah, that may sound familiar, and now more than ever, but somehow an ancient affliction that we haven’t seen in a long time may beat the heck out of it’s literal “opposite,” a Booga Booga Scary ‘flu’ (aka, “Covid-1984”) that we may not actually SEE much of either, but ‘cases’ are another thing entirely. And so is Big Brother’s Totalitarian, even arguably “satanic”, over-response.
First, the Erev Shabbat overview of this week’s reading:
The Sabbath day teaching goes beyond that anti-parallels between what can be thought of as the ‘chastening’ or correction aspect of a plague where people are ‘unclean,’ and told to warn others, while exiled “outside the camp,” and a clearly man-made bioweapon where those who are muzzled and in many cases simply not allowed to speak (much less “tweet”) at all are NOT symptomatic. Yes, it’s a different kind of ‘priest’ who makes the proclamation now, albeit with far less actual “scientific,” clinical data (hence the detail in this portion!), and the cleansing ritual described in Leviticus is arguably far less permanent, or potentially deadly, then The Poke.
But there’s FAR more to consider!
