Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship a two-step look at parsha “Ki Tetze” (Deuteronomy 21:10 – 25:19) and
aruably one of THE most utterly “politically INCORRECT” sets of Scripture in the whole Book. And the fact that just about everything IN this parsha is no so forbidden even to talk about, much less advocate as the Written Word of Yah, speaks volumes. As does the hideous state of the fallen world which so hates and ignores that Truth!
And given that this parsha is SO ‘politically incorrect’, there does of course need to be a warning. Not only is this “adult content” (even though “school children” are routinely taught things that are not only far more ‘sexually oriented,’ but certainly far more just plain WRONG!) but it is also the kind of thing that those who worship the “Other god” are lusting to ban, ASAP.
“Why is it,” Mark begins, that when it comes to parts of the Bible that the Whore Church would prefer to ignore or outright deny, “that we hear, ‘just because something is permitted IN the Bible doesn’t mean we should DO it,’ instead of, WHY do we insist people DO it even when Scripture FORBIDS it?”
The answer is laying in the streets of San Francisco. It’s glorified in the Superbowl halftime show. It’s crammed down the throats of innocent children in what now passes for ‘education’. And its failure is proven by everything from the divorce statistics to the lying traitors vying to be the next Dictator-in-Chief.
The fact that most of “the world” doesn’t even begin to understand WHY it is so important that this instruction for our blessing has NOT been “done away with” says more about our society than anthing you will EVER hear from the lying politicians or media. Or, even more sadly, from most of ‘the church’.
Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a study of perhaps one of the most “problematic” portions in the Torah, “Pinchas” (Bemidbar/Numbers 25:10 through 3:1), because it describes the outright ‘killing-by-spear’ of two pagans, engaged in a pretty brazen act, not only right before Moshe, but the ‘whole congregation’ of Israel. And for that act, Pinchas is not tried for ‘murder,’ but given an ‘eternal covenant of peace’ by the Most High Himself.
This lesson is not only ‘timely’ – perhaps more now than ever before in our lifetimes – but incorporates one of those “jots and tiddles” that speaks literally VOLUMES to those with “eyes to see”, but doesn’t even get translated in the English renderings of the Bible. Truly, an example of what is worth “studying for ourselves” from His Word, as Written.
(Internet outages Friday evening – sure looked like a beta test! — so this is a single combined teaching this week)
Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a study of parsha “Korach” (Bemidbar/Numbers chapters 16 through 18), as well as some ‘compare and contrast’ from other parts of Scripture, and, yes, the ever more undeniable parallels with a world which is arguably in greater outright rebellion to Him than Korach even was.
But that is part of the ‘enigmatic’ nature of this story, too!
In the Erev Shabbat review, the story says a fellow named “Korach” (or Korah, in most English variants) took men and then began one of the prototypical rebellions in both the Bible, and history. And it ended dramatically, too. There is, of course, more to the story. Some of it you really don’t even see without a look back at some of the very revealing Hebrew words, which may not even show up in most translations.
The Sabbath day message, as promised, takes a deeper look at that “rebellion”, and why it was punished so quickly, dramatically, and UNUSUALLY. And, perhaps, why other rebellions against YHVH seem to go unpunished as well. At least for a while.
Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a look at parsha “Bechukotai” (Leviticus 26:2 through the end of the Book) where the consequences for the rebellion against Him and His Written Word are laid out in such a clear and undeniable fashion that it’s no WONDER the ‘whore church’ prefers to lie about the whole thing!
In the Erev Shabbat review, Mark points out why 7 times 7 times 7 times 7 is not only a warning that once was not heeded, but may well be playing out again, and “fulfilled in your hearing”.
ONE more time, there’s a lot in this portion too that is “Not PC.” Perhaps that’s particularly apropos to note when the subject is “rebuke” for utter and outright rebellion to His Word (to the point, even, that so many “souls abhor it” in Hollywood, the Deep State Swamp, and, yes, the ”whore church”.) In other words, be forewarned, this will “offend many”.
This week the Torah teachers continue the study of the histories after the splitting of the unified kingdom into Israel in the north, and Judah in the south, into the Book of II Kings, chapters 3 and 4.
Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a look at parsha “Emor” (Leviticus chapters 21 through 24) which again SOUNDS like a whole lotta ‘stuff’ that we’ve been told is “done away with”, and doesn’t matter anyway, for reasons that turn out to be, well, “Bogus Stuff”. And it’s very “NOT PC” besides!
In the Erev Shabbat review, that becomes clear, along with the myriad, REPEATED reasons why it all still matters.
During the Sabbath day teaching, Mark again begins by noting that there’s a lot in the portion that is “Not PC” – because there’s a LOT of this lately, perhaps because those who prefer to call ‘evil,’ good, and then subsidize and mandate it, simply decide what IS ‘politically-correct’ based on what Scripturally-ISN’T.
This is yet another portion that thus touches the heart of so very much that is wrong today, and why. It only starts with Priests-that-aren’t.
Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a look at parsha “Kedoshim” (Leviticus chapters 19 through 20) which may be one of the best descriptions, and warnings, about post-Constitutional, “AmeriKa-with-a-K” in the Bible.
In the Erev Shabbat review, the study picks up with “this is, no SHALL BE, the <em>torah</em> of the ‘metzorah’,” or person who has ‘<em>tzaraat</em>’. What is to be done about it, and, yes, it can even infect a house.
In the Sabbath day teaching, Mark connects a WHOLE lot of related dots this week, from prophetic warnings that are now flashing red sirens, to ‘twistings’ of some of the usual paganized doctrines that got the “ten lost tribes” exiled in the first place.
It’s not merely that “evil” is being called ‘good’, and vice-versa, or even that things which Yahuah described as “abomination” and prescribed a death penalty for are now mandated by a society which has elevated being “vomited out” to a source of twisted ‘pride’.
This is yet another portion that thus touches the heart of so very much that is wrong today, and why. But, in this case, it is the problem and solution that are outlined in the very title and bookend admonitions of the parsha! “Be set-apart,” and it’s increasingly undeniable WHY.
In a world that has become “unclean, unclean!” — those who speak His Truth are being shamed and shunned, and of course banned from Two-Facebook. But worse still, Mark asks a pertinent question, given that we have already been exiled – for cause – and literally, as foretold so many centuries ago – “vomited out of the land”.
This week, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship takes a look at teachings associated with the final days of the Passover feast and the last Sabbath of the week of Unleavened Bread.
During the Erev Shabbat overview teaching, Mark examines the traditional parsha for this week, from Exodus 13:17 through 15:26, that tells the story of what happens AFTER the plagues, up to the crossing of the Sea of Reeds. In other words, the end of the ‘exodus proper’ and the Beginning of the real journey:
This week continued the escalation unparalleled turmoil in the world, to the point where the war against those who seek to follow YHVH and His Word — or even pretend to, in too many cases — has become undeniable, except among those who deceive for ‘another master’.
There IS a war in progress, on many fronts, and it ‘sure as heck ain’t holy’. But all of that, in conjunction with ‘such a time as this,’ and the lessons and reminders of this very season, have much to teach us, and much to warn us about. In the special Sabbath Day teaching for this final part of the week of Unleaved Bread, Mark’s message is entitled:
This week, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship takes a look at teachings associated with the Passover feast and the first day of the week of Unleavened Bread. As you probably have come to expect, he doesn’t pull punches. And, no, it’s not the same as ‘easter’, but yes, it really DOES matter.
This is also a week of unparalleled turmoil in the world, and arguably none of that is a coincidence. Scripture has warned us about the consequences of rebellion against Him for a very long time.
Warning: The focus here is people who have a heart to “search out the Truth for themselves.” This teaching is not going to sit well with many people who would prefer NOT to hear what Yahuah has to say about things He calls ‘abomination’. And that includes pagan traditions that the whore church claims are cute and harmless, but where He clearly says otherwise. ‘Cause if what’s going on – in “such a time as this” – doesn’t at the very least make us angry, or even “sigh and cry” – then what’s happened before will no doubt happen again.
