Parsha “Vayeira” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa

Posted on 17 November, 2024 by mark

This week’s parsha, Vayeira (Genesis/Bereshiet chapters 18 through 22) tells the second part of the story of the life of the Patriarch, Abraham, and includes at least two of the most well-known, and even prophetic, incidents in that sage.

The parsha title, Vayeira, “And He appeared,” refers to YHVH Himself, and two of His ‘malakim,’ or messengers, who appeared to Abraham on the eve of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and is the time when the patriarch famously ‘dickers’ with the Creator on behalf of those about to die. And there is more to that visit as well.

The Erev Shabbat reading concludes with perhaps the famous event in his life, which is certainly not only prophetic, and foreshadowing, but also cited as the epitome of an “act of faith”:

The Sabbath Day midrash is all about a question that Mark Call suggests is something we should be considering today:

Can WE have “faith like Abraham?’

After all, this patriarch is essentially not only the ‘Father of Our Faith,’ but also a man who faith is literally of “Biblical Proportions.”

There are other factors to consider…
…but we can, and must.

Parsha “Lekh Lekha” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa

Posted on 10 November, 2024 by mark

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship this week for a two-part look at the first parsha chronicling the life of THE Patriarch, Abraham.

The Erev Shabbat reading begins with the title phrase, Lekh lekha, or “get thee out,” of your land, your home, everything you’ve known, and go to the place that “I will show you.” He just does so, in an act of faith that has stood as a testament to that faith for millenia:

And, again, there is much in the life of this first patriarch that is so fundamental, so important, and so long-forgotten now, that it amounts to an object lesson about what is wrong with a society which is so clueless about THE fundamental structure of society, and government.

It should be no surprise, then, that so much of what Abraham did, and represented, is anathema to a ‘church’ that prefers its own dogma to His Written Word. From marriage, to ‘works’, to circumcision – there are lessons here that have been twisted, or worse.

The Sabbath Day midrash asks a question that Mark suggests MUST be asked at “such a time as this,” now that the ‘Date Certain’ has passed, but the danger, and the challenges ahead, have only begun.

Do we understand why “the world” so DESPISES everything about “patriarchy”. And why, if we are to “return to Him,” it starts with understanding what the father Abraham teaches us?

Parsha “Noach+” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa

Posted on 3 November, 2024 by mark

We began the reading of Parsha Noach last week, both with the story of his genealogy, the nature of the world at that time, and the Flood itself. But that parsha also includes at least one other famous story, and one which also bears more relevance today that we might like to admit.

The Erev Shabbat reading of the parsha follows the Flood, in chapters ten 12 of Bereshiet/Genesis, and includes the story of Nimrod, and the Tower of Babel:

The Sabbath Day midrash picks up the theme of Nimrod, Babel, and what it was about that tower that was so unique to YHVH that it merited the response He gave it.

And it seems to have lot to do with what Bebylon became, and evidently still represents: a system that is antagonistic to His.

There are parallels, anti-parallels, but this time the question concerns what might follow the parallels after that Flood, “as it was in the days of Noach…”

The issue this time is Babylon, and what constitutes the ‘Greater Babylon Metro Area.’

Noach+: Nimrod, Babylong and ‘Transformational Technology’
The Remnant must Self-Select!

Parsha “Bereshiet+” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa

Posted on 27 October, 2024 by mark

In some ways, Bereshiet (Genesis, and “in the Beginning) is the most fundamental element in the Bible. Literally everything else builds, line-by-line, precept-by-precept, upon that Foundation.

Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship has often contended, that six chapters of Genesis in parsha Bereshiet (Genesis 1 through 6) is just too much to even try to do justice to, study-wise, in a single week, So, this cycle, we depart a bit from the “annual Torah reading” layout to do a bit deeper dive into this second half of the first parsha in the Book. Which actually ‘overlaps’ via the story of Noach, the Nephilim, and the Flood anyway.

The Erev Shabbat reading of the ‘next segment’, into the story of Noach and the Flood, in chapters four through 9 of Bereshiet/Genesis:

The Sabbath Day midrash is about Big, even “climactic” changes. And there are two that follow the logical sequence of the story: Noach, and the Flood, and – don’t forget – the Book of Joshua describes the events AFTER the five Books of the Torah, and the conquest of The Land. And that, too, was a time of Big Changes.

Which is true today.

And there are parallels, anti-parallels, and no shortage of warnings about what looks like “as it was in the days of Noach…”

Bereshiet+: Big, BIG Changes – both Then and Now

Parsha “Bereshiet” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa

Posted on 20 October, 2024 by mark

In some ways, Bereshiet (Genesis, and “in the Beginning) is the most fundamental element in the Bible. Literally everything else builds, line-by-line, precept-by-precept, upon that Foundation.

And, as Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship contends, that is why those fundamentals are so hated, by a world, and – yes – a ‘church’ which hates what He ordained. So this week we depart a bit from the “annual Torah cycle” layout to do a bit deeper dive into this first parsha in the Book.

The Erev Shabbat reading of the first three chapters of Bereshiet/Genesis:

The Sabbath Day midrash is about that fundamental truth that has been undermined, inverted, despised by ‘the world,’ and deliberately ignored by what rightfully IS the Whore Church, direct descendant of what He called Ahola, still in exile for idolatry.’ And it is at the very heart of almost all that is wrong today with a world which despises His Authority.

Parsha “V’zot HaBerakah” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa

Posted on 13 October, 2024 by mark

This week, because of the Fall Holy Days, and as we near the conclusion of the Torah cycle, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship elected to take a look at the final parsha in the Torah, where Moses wraps up his final address to ‘kol Israel’ with blessings of the tribes, and is then allowed to see the promised Land from Mount Nebo just before he dies.

And there is here at least one tradition that seems to make a wonderful point, even if this portion will be read a bit before most of those on the more ‘rabbinic’ calendar do: When we reach the end of the Torah at the end of the Book of Deuteronomy,we continue right back into Bereshiet/Genesia 1:1, since the intent is to show that the study of His Word is a continuing cycle.

The Erev Shabbat reading:

The Sabbath Day midrash examines a contrast: Moses addressed a people who were about to get a new leader, and finally enter and then begin the battle for their long-promised land.

We currently have no leader, and are evidently closer to losing a land than entering it, although there are certainly battles ahead, one way or another. But, as the Bible shows, the reasons for judgment are the very same.

And this is where the paths, on every level, and the stories, too — diverge. Call it a “fork in the road,” and a fork in the Word.

We continue into Genesis/Bereshiet because ALL of His Word is built upon ‘the Rock,’ that He was there, “in the Beginning,” and “knew the end from the beginning,” “changes NOT,” and Wrote for us what we needed to know, and do.

But the ‘mixed multitude,’ under the leadership of Joshua/Yoshua, both the Namesake, and ‘type and shadow,’ of that prophet Who was “like unto Moses,” proceeded to enter the land, and begin those battles. And that story continues in the Book of Joshua.

Both roads apply.

Double Parsha “Vayelekh-Ha’azinu” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa

Posted on 6 October, 2024 by mark

This week, because of the Fall Holy Days, and as we near the conclusion of the Torah cycle, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship elected to take a look at a double-parsha; first, Vayelekh (Deuteronomy chapter 31) and then Ha’azinu (chapter 32) – where Moses begins to wrap up his final instructions to ‘kol Israel.’

First, he reminds them about the coming conquest of the land, that Yohushua/Joshua will lead them, and to “be strong and of good courage.”

The Erev Shabbat reading begins there, and continues with what rabbinic Judaism calls the final (613th) ‘mitzvah’ in His Torah, to “write out this song,” a.k.a. the second ‘Song of Moses,’ which is the heart of the next chapter, and parsha Ha’azinu:

The Sabbath Day midrash examines a contrast: Moses addressed a people who were about to get a new leader, and finally enter and then begin the battle for their long-promised land.

We currently have no leader, and are evidently closer to losing a land than entering it, although there are certainly battles ahead, one way or another.

Which is where that second song comes in: heaven and earth are His witnesses, and the song is as well. A witness AGAINST the ‘children of Israel.’

But the parallels then and now are stark, too. He has been “roused to jealousy,” with a thing that He calls a ‘no-god.’ There’s provocation from a “vile nation,” and they have become a nation void of counsel, with “no understanding in them.”

When you compare the main news stories today, it’s impossible to deny that judgment has been EARNED. But this is where the ‘plot thickens.’

The prophet YermeYahu, or Jeremiah, is told no less than three times, don’t even pray for those people that were about to see judgment, at the hand of Nebuchadnezzar.

Which certainly raises a fair question. And the choice.

Regular WARNING: We are in – at best – dangerous times. Particularly so for those who walk in rebellion. This is yet another reading in the continuing series of what you will certainly NOT hear in sun-god-day school.

Vayelekh and Ha’azinu: “Voided Covenant, or Re-Grafting? Either way – it is a CHOICE!”

Parsha “Nitzavim” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa

Posted on 29 September, 2024 by mark

Parsha “Nitzavim,” (Devarim or Deuteronomy 29:10 through 30:20) is, according to Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship, not only perhaps THE most succinct, two-word summary of the Torah, but the parsha that is also most central to understanding what is arguably THE Biggest Lie since at least Genesis chapter 3.

And the Erev Shabbat reading lays the groundwork for that claim:

But that is again just the beginning.

WARNING: This is yet another reading in the continuing series of what you will certainly NOT hear in sun-god-day school. But this time the “WHY” is the heart of the problem!

The Sabbath day midrash is about that Big Lie, and the fact that the refutation is right there in Deuteronomy chapter 30:

“The Law has been done away with…nailed to the cross…it’s OLD Testament…and, besides, NOBODY but Jesus could POSSIBLY keep ‘the Law.’ It’s TOO HARD for you!”

When, in fact, He says it is NOT too hard for you. Practically sarcastically, even, as if He knew – because He did! – how it would happen.

And it’s time to tie in some other aspects of that Big Lie as well, including a bit of the “most twisted Book in Scripture” – Galatians – and how that same lie manifests as Kefa/Peter warned.

Once you see it – it is impossible to UN-see.

But as things come to a head – it is more important than ever that we be able to answer, “in season and out,” from His Word, exactly WHY we need to “come out of” EVERYTHING that is based on the Lie that got us exiled in the first place. Because those lies are deadly in a time of judgment for letting them fester.

Parsha “Ki Tavo” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa

Posted on 22 September, 2024 by mark

Parsha “Ki Tavo,” (Devarim or Deuteronomy 26:1-29:8) is arguably the most well-known, and fearsome, catalog of blessings, and especially, cursings, in all of Scriture.

The Erev Shabbat reading literally lays out the case for the fact that are not only well-deserved, but already “in progress” for a nation which has turned from YHVH, and is in fact “jonesin’ fer judgment.”

But that is just the beginning.

WARNING: This is yet another reading in the continuing series that you will certainly NOT hear in sun-god-day school. And the fact that the curses are so well-deserved, and so lied about, is the reason why we had better be paying attention.

Only this world doesn’t. Not even close. And that is why this reading should be such a jarring “eye-opener.” The promised curses are arguably well-under way, and the rest close at hand,

In the Sabbath day midrash, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa literally lays out the case for judgment, based on what the Whore Church as done not only IN SPITE of His Word, but TO it.

The curses outlined are specific to what can happen – and DID – when those who failed to “keep My commandments failed to do so, and were, as promised, kicked out of the land.

But there are other curses, too, for things generally done in secret. At least, they were. Now they are open, and even “proud” of ’em.

And Mark suggests that there is a good case to be made that the curses are still “on the table.” And what we have already seen, and are seeing, makes an even stronger case that there is more to come.

And His people should plan accordingly.

Ki Tavo: “When you have been KICKED OUT of the Land – Do the Curses Still Count?”

Parsha “Ki Tetzi” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa

Posted on 15 September, 2024 by mark

Parsha “Ki Tetzi,” (Devarim or Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19) is not only one of the most NOT-PC parashot in the Torah, but the fact that it IS should tell us exactly where things stand, on the Road to Judgment.

For example, the very first segment, often called the ‘war bride,’ sounds like something that ‘modern feminism’ would call barbaric. Until they see the alternative. Perhaps much sooner that they expect. The fact is, His Word does not “oppress” women, it protects them.

The Erev Shabbat reading literally lays out the case for the fact that the lessons here have become to UNPALATABLE to a nation that despises His Word that it is literally “jonesin’ fer judgment.”

But that is just the beginning.

WARNING: This is yet another reading in the continuing series that you will NOT hear in sun-god-day school. Which is again why what He RREALY says will surprise some. Which in itself is another commentary on the “lies we have inherited from our fathers.”

Only this world doesn’t. Not even close. And that is why this reading should be such a jarring “eye-opener.”
iterally lays out the case for judgment, based on what the Whore Church as done not only IN SPITE of His Word, but TO it.

In the Sabbath day midrash, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa literally lays out the case for judgment, based on what the Whore Church as done not only IN SPITE of His Word, but TO it.

In the process, it is illustrative to see just how much of the ‘rhetorical device’ Yahushua used in the Sermon on the Mount, His very first public address, comes right from this parsha. And how, immediately after He warned about teaching that even “the least of” His commandments can be broken, so many translations have done EXACTLY that with His Words.

From marriage, to money, this is one that goes to the very heart of what is wrong with a nation, and a world, which hates His Word.

Ki Tetzi: “Jonesin’ fer Judgment.” Which commandments have we NOT been taught to break?”
