Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha “Vayelekh” (Deuteronomy chapter 31 alone) which does perhaps seem a bit ‘short’ for a parsha, but is nevertheless still not at all short of “meaty”.
The sequence begins with the Erev Shabbat reading and the certainly helps to “set up” that claim:
The Sabbath Day ‘deeper look’ involves some words that perhaps just don’t get translated quite properly into English. It’s bad enough to “break” His Covenant, but arguably “a ‘nuther thing altogether” to make it VOID – as if it had never existed.
Not only does that help to at least in part help explain His “anger”, the following exile (still in progress) and why He “hides His face,” it also seems to explain what is now coming to a head.
“Vayelekh: Kazakh! The time is NOW.”

As the annual Torah cycle begins to come to conclusion, the parsha this week (Nitzavim, Deuteronomy 29:10 through chapter 30) is the one that Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa Fellowship suggests — especially given season and confluence of global events at literally Biblical levels — is perhaps the most vital of all.
It’s certainly one of the most ignored. Perhaps because it refutes so unequivocally the what is probably the Biggest Lie of the last 17 centuries.
The sequence begins with the Erev Shabbat reading, which not only refutes that Big Lie (and its corollaries) but includes what Mark suggests is the most concise “two word” summary OF Scripture IN Scripture, “Choose life!”
The Sabbath teaching this week is for those who are starting to realize the EXTENT to which we have “inherited lies from our fathers.” But, more importantly, what we can do NOW to walk in His Truth. It’s even a “wooden stake” in that vampire of a lie that attempts to proclaim the Savior Himself a liar, that He “did away with” His own “law”, or ‘nailed it to the cross.’
Now, more obviously that it’s ever even been before, that is a lie unto death. It’s vital we be ready to refute it, give a reason for the hope within us, and choose life!
“Nitzavim: No, it’s NOT too hard for you. But it IS a Life and Death!”

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha “Ki Tavo” (Deuteronomy 26:1-29:8) which is again not only ‘meaty’ but downright SCARY to those who don’t like what it says. Which makes it again one of the most important – especially NOW.
The sequence begins with the Erev Shabbat reading, the title part about “when you come” into the land, and then the details of the most well-known set of “Blessings and Cursings” in the whole Book:
There is a segment in this parsha that consists of repeated curses of the form, “Cursed by he THAT…” which turn out to be – or at least once to have BEEN – “things done in secret.” So what does it say that they often are no longer even done in secret, but openly? And taught in the Public Cesspools, even.
Perhaps that is why the other curses seem more imminent, if not already undeniable.
But Mark opens by asking this question…
“Ki Tavo: Are These Curses Really From HIM?”

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha “Ki Tetze” (Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19) which he describes as one of the ‘meatiest’ in the Torah when it comes to ‘instruction and commandments,’ and also one of the most NOT ‘politically-correct.’ Which makes it therefore one of the most important – especially NOW.
Which, again, tells us something about how we’ve gone so far “off the rails.”
The sequence begins with the Erev Shabbat reading and the specifics of what ‘the world’ just plain hates:
This week it’s important to start off with a quick look at just how truly Evil this nation has openly become. Call it “abomination on parade.” But the fact that so much of this portion is SO reviled by the ‘woke’ points to something even more important:
What ‘the world’ values – and what it does NOT – tells us how the coming Judgment will play out. And why things that seem almost mundane compared to the ‘life and death’ struggle at hand are EXACTLY what we need to understand!
“Ki Tetze: What Has VALUE – and Why has Abomination REPLACED It?”

The Torah parsha reading for this week is “Shoftim” (Deuteronomy 16:18-21:9) — and it begins, “Judges [shoftim] and officers you shall make in all your gates…”
…which, if you thing about it, tells us right off the top why we’ve gone so far “off the rails.” But there’s FAR more.
Among other things, this week, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship tackles what follow-up verses like “Justice, JUSTICE you shall purse” might mean, when it would seem to not only NOT be ‘pursued,’ but even ALLOWED in lands which so thoroughly despise His Word.
And is that too hard of an assessment? Then ‘stay tuned!’
The sequence begins with the Erev Shabbat reading and outline:
There is again the recurring major theme of idolatry, and His hatred of such. The warning that people would see the consequences, and “hear, and fear,” is also repeated in this parsha, too. (Now it seems, conversely, that the Satanic Elite want those who follow Yah to hear, and fear. But that, too, is a big part of the lesson.)
The Sabbath teaching is a look at contrasts. Notice, for example, right up front that the commandment is to make “judges and officers…in ALL YOUR GATES.” In other words, locally. Where we could have watched them, known first-hand if they were corrupt, or showed the kind of ‘favoritism’ (to put it mildly) that the FBI has become legendary for.
But it’s not just that “justice, JUSTICE,” is no longer even a realistic option.
Things changed, arguably irrevocably, this week when the CCPuppetFuhrer made an open declaration of war against not just at least half of the once-free country, but the very God that wiser, far better men once declared to be the Author of “self-evident Truths,” and Endower of Rights that came from Him, not those who so clearly hate Him.
Their hatred is not just for those who forlornly hope to “Make America Great Again.” Especially in the absence of Trust in YHVH. At this point, it seems that the only people who could deny that AmeriKa and this whole world are sorely DESERVING of His judgment are those who don’t believe He even exists (or He’d have already done it!)
The Remnant who Overcome will have to “Make America God-FEARING Again”.
“Shoftim: ‘Justice, JUSTICE’ won’t be allowed…so maybe it’s time for… …MAGFA” “

Parsha “Re’eh,” (Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17) may just be THE “go-to” Torah portion for those that have friends or relatives that ask questions like, “Just what is it that’s DIFFERENT about a First Century understanding of ‘the Messiah,’ or “the Way,” or maybe “Hebrew Roots,” than what we have been taught in ‘sun-dog-day school?
Among other things, this week, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship tackles not only a few questions like that, but — and he will suggest, even more importantly, how practical is it, when people are rightfully concerned about famine, medical martial law, and the sound of jackboots on the streets, to worry about what Yah Himself says about idolatry?
This one,too, includes more than one vitally-important command, which also turns out to be an undeniable ‘proof text’ for why so many of us who seek to “come out of” the whore church (or synagogue!) and return to ‘the Way’ want nothing to do with pagan, well, er, ‘crap’. Because He doesn’t just merely ‘hate’ it…
The Erev Shabbat reading and outline:
The Sabbath teaching is in many respects a departure from ‘normal’. Certainly its addresses what certainly SEEM like a lot of contradictions. Between ‘judaism’ and ‘xtianity’…between “love” and “law”…
and what was supposed to be, and what instead IS.
But this one — for reasons that will hopefully be clear — is more “speculative” than many, because what might otherwise sound ‘spiritual’ is in fact about as practical as it can be. Even a matter of life and death. And more than anything, hopeful.
NOTE: Given the warnings in this parsha, and the lateness of the hour, there are some times in this teaching where Mark uses very blunt descriptions and language. Albeit, perhaps not as blunt as He does, which is the point.
“Re’eh: The Place Where He Puts His REAL Name”

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part study of parsha “Ekev,” (Deuteronomy 7:12-11:25) and ultimately, a look at “love” – what it was, what passes for it now, and why the difference is even more than just a matter of ‘life and death’.
This one,too, includes more than one vitally-important command, which also turns out to be an undeniable ‘proof text’ for why so many of us who seek to “come out of” the whore church (or synagogue!) and return to ‘the Way’ want nothing to do with pagan, well, er, ‘crap’. Because He doesn’t just merely ‘hate’ it…
First, the Erev Shabbat reading and outline:
The Sabbath teaching is addresses what certainly SEEM like a lot of contradictions. Between ‘judaism’ and ‘xtianity’…between “love” and “law”…
and what was supposed to be, and what instead IS.
There are warnings in this parsha that must not be overlooked, but have. The word ‘ekev’ is often translated into English as ‘because’. And Mark suggests that ‘because’ that is so true, much that is is now obvious followed. But there’s far more in here. Like the use of the word “AND” to describe His Covenant AND his chesed – “loving-kindness.”
And THAT, as it turns out, makes all the difference!
“Ekev: Brit AND Chesed – BOTH Covenant and Lovingkindness are Necessary”

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part study of parsha “Vaetchanan,” (Deuteronomy 3:23 – 7:11) and which includes not only the ‘reprise’ of the most famous Ten Debarim (or ‘Words’) in the Book, but also THE ‘commandment’ (literally singular) which the Messiah Himself says is “most important.”
And, as Mark points out, there’s also one vitally-important command, right off the top, which still flummoxes BOTH the ‘whore church’ and the ‘whore synagogue.’ (They both break it routinely, and often in opposite directions…)
First, the Erev Shabbat reading and outline:
The Sabbath teaching is about the ‘elephant in the room.’ Yahushua said — and it’s hard to even think He was NOT talking about times like NOW! — that a time would come when “lawlessness abounds” and the “love of many” would grow cold.
Could there be any better description of what we see now? (And you don’t even have to be told WHAT that references THIS week, do you?)
“This parsha just keeps getting MORE meaningful,” Mark suggests right up front. It starts off by saying, clearly, “don’t ‘add to,’ nor ‘subtract from’ this Word” which was commanded. And so that’s EXACTLY what those men who know better that Yah did what He SHOULD have Written have been doing for millenia. To the point where even the “Ten Commandments” have been FBI‘d.
No wonder the Ten “thou shalt not’s” in the Bill of Rights never had a chance.
“Vaetchanan: ‘Lawlessness abounds’ Is an Understatement! So what DO the Righteous Do?”

This week the annual Torah cycle means we begin the study of the final Book in the Torah: Devarim, or, literally, “the WORDS” that Moshhe spoke to the ‘sons of Israel” during the final days of his life. … why it is that this nation and world are utterly collapsing as men and institutions built on trust are no longer even worthy of contempt.
Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part study of the introduction to what is sometimes thought of as “THE” essence of the Torah, the ‘second’ telling, the basis for the English Common Law, and the most-quoted reference during the entire American Founding Era by those who crafted what was once, at least, the Supreme Law of this land.
First, the Erev Shabbat reading and outline:
The Sabbath teaching focuses on the ‘essence’ of what Moses seems to be laying out here; not just a bit of history as an introduction to what follows, but the structure of on of the most ancient, and arguably the most important Covenants in human history.
And there’s a contrast here that must not be missed.
“Debarim: Pick a Covenant That Will Be KEPT” …and choose wisely!

This week the double-parsha of Matot-Masei (from Numbers 30:2 on) completes the Book of Numbers.
But it is the very first chapter of the set that Mark has long suggested is among the most vital in all of Scripture when it comes to understanding Yah-ordained authority in marriage and the family, and, especially today, why it is that this nation and world are utterly collapsing as men and institutions built on trust are no longer even worthy of contempt.
Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part study of the Torah portion that teaches what most ‘sun-god day’ churches have long ignored, and far to many politicians, “doctors,” and “journalists” despise.
First, the Erev Shabbat reading and outline of the entire parsha. But, especially, the value of understanding the ‘power of the tongue’:
The Sabbath teaching is again ‘no holds barred.’ Because life and death are in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21)
And – for so many reasons, and on SO many levels – it’s why a society without trust doesn’t have a prayer.
