Torah Teaching for Parsha “Tzav”

Posted on 5 April, 2026 by mark

Parsha “Tzav,” (Lev. 6 through 8) continues the instruction concerning specific types of ‘sacrifices’ and ‘offerings,’ followed by the related process for sanctification of Aaron and his sons as cohenim.

There is a stunning contrast here, too, since this is the timeframe of His “Appointed Times” or moedim, known as Pesach, or Passover, and followed by the week of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

NOT to be confused with re-naming the Most Important Event in Human History with a fake, pagan, abomination of a ‘fertility goddess.’

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at the parsha, and a discussion that will no doubt offend many (as He did). But arguably not nearly as much as the issue so clearly offends Him.

You might call it the unequivocally “NOT-Easter” Special.

First, the Erev Shabbat reading:

In the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark this week explores the stunning CONTRAST between those ‘offerings’ and ‘sacrifices,’ — which Scripture again emphasizes in such detail — and the Single Sacrifice which has since be re-named to something it is certainly not.

Is there no irony in the claim that the single ‘Final’ and Ultimate Sacrifice has been renamed in an idolatrous celebration that invites the death penalty?

The haftorah reading begins with a warning that those who originally heard failed to heed. “You trust in lying words…” said the prophet YermeYahu (Jeremiah). “Obey My voice,” He told them.

They misunderstood – and ignored – the lesson of the ‘sacrifices’ – and STILL DO.

But it is the lesson of Ezekiel chapters 8 and 9 that is most pertinent to the idolatry that is so pervasive today!

Tzav: “Lots of ‘offerings – ONE Sacrifice – Even More Abomination Now – and Little Discernment”

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Vayikra”

Posted on 29 March, 2026 by mark

Parsha “Vayikra,” begins the Book with the same Hebrew name, aka “Leviticus” in English. And it’s both too often considered “boring” by much of ‘Sunday Christianity’ – and thus ignored – while at the same time being central to one of THE most misunderstood concepts in Scripture.

And at the heart of perhaps THE Greatest Error, as well.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at the parsha, and a discussion that will no doubt offend many (as He did, BTW). Which only makes it more vital to understand.

First, the Erev Shabbat reading:

In the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark again takes a deeper look at the differences between ‘offerings’ and ‘sacrifices,’ and, more importantly, why Scripture emphasizes in such detail the concept of “unintentional” sin. It turns out that ‘deliberate rebellion to YHVH’ is also outlined as well, but in a VERY different way. And that is what makes All the Difference.

It’s also why we’re told that such a sacrifice is made only once. But that is a fact generally denied by a ‘church’ which fails to teach the difference!

Vayikra: “Is replacing Yahushua with ‘another jesus’ Unintentional Sin – or Worse?”

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Pekudei”

Posted on 22 March, 2026 by mark

Parsha “Pekudei,” Exodus 38:21 through the end of the Book) concludes the reading and study of the Book of Exodus.

And as the Hebrew title suggests, it begins with an account of the precious materials used in building the mishkan, or tabernacle, and again emphasizes several of the key themes: it is the work of the ‘craftsman,’ ‘skillful workment’ who — in detail — DID what they were told to do, “as YHVH commanded Moses.”

And at least part again seem to be word-for-word repetitions, with the verb tense changed, another ‘atbash,’ or Biblical HTML tag equivalent, for emphasis.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at the parsha, and a different take than you have probably heard for the midrash discussion and teaching.

First, the Erev Shabbat reading:

The Sabbath Day midrash not only emphasizes some of the primary themes of the building of the Tabernacle/Mishkan, but will connect what might seem to be some ‘disparate dots’. Like elements of the upcoming Pesach or Passover season, and the threat of AI-dolatry:

Pekudei: “AI, Delinquent Kids, and the Mishkan”

Mark Call – Torah Teaching for Parsha “Vayakhel”

Posted on 15 March, 2026 by mark

Parsha “Vayakhel,” Exodus 35:1 through 38:20, in many respects will seem very familiar. Many elements that we just recently read, only about ten chapters earlier, are repeated. Why? And why so much detail, not just once, but twice?

Mark has long suggested that any time something is repeated in Scripture, we had better pay attention; it’s virtually certain that it is important. But there is almost certainly more to it as well. For example, the concept of a chiasm, or “atbash” in Hebrew that serves to ‘set off’ what is enclosed in what might be thought of as the equivalent of ‘brackets,’ or even nested parentheses, in English. In a more modern parlance, it might be thought of as a Biblical equivalent of an HTML tag.

And in the case of some, like what comes to a conclusion in this reading, a virtual bright flashing red emphasis, in ALL CAPS, too.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at the parsha, and the implications for a world that stands at minimum on the cusp of World War III, potentially with even a nuclear escalation, and a global economic (and fiat reserve currency and debt) meltdown that have both been a long time coming.

As for the ‘End Times’ — well, “soon” is a relative concept in prophecy, but we know of a certainly that we are ‘close,’ and what will ultimately come to pass.

The Erev Shabbat reading:

If this repeated, often word-for-word, detail, and the entire concept of first being told WHAT to make, then again WHEN they made it, is the ‘closing bracket,’ or tag, for what comes in between, then what is He emphasizing> Certainly, the ‘Golden Calf,’ and one of the most dramatic failure in Scripture. And there’s even an “atbash within that abash,” as well, concerning His Sabbath. But, this time the explicit reminder is that it’s one of those commandments that carries a death penalty. How can that be ignored?

To ‘come out of her,’ remains an imperative. But then what?

Vayakhel: “Coming out, coming together – it just starts willing hearts”

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Ki Tisa”

Posted on 8 March, 2026 by mark

This is perhaps one of the most important, most blunt, most twisted, and certainly – now, particularly – one of most utterly relevant Torah parashot in the Book.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at parsha Ki Tisa, Exodus 30:11 through chapter 34.

The Erev Shabbat reading starts with the command to take a head count, and how, and then continues through the infamous betrayal of the ‘golden calf’ — first of many, as it turns out — and the aftermath:

How often do we hear about the idolatry of that ‘Golden Calf’? And the smug dismissal that it was so long ago, but ‘the Church’ is SO much better than that – now.

Really?

Maybe there’s a lot more to it. And THAT would be why the Whore Church ignores all of that.

Ki Tisa: “Why did Moses SMASH the first Tablets?”

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Tetzaveh”

Posted on 1 March, 2026 by mark

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at parsha Terzaveh, Exodus 27:20-30:10.

The Erev Shabbat reading gives the details, of which there are many:

The impressive level of detail is this description is certainly again one of the most memorable aspects of this parsha.

And yet, as Mark reminds us in the Sabbath day midrash, one more time, there is “no idle word” in His Torah.

But THIS time, we need to “Compare and Contrast.”

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Terumah”

Posted on 22 February, 2026 by mark

This week’s Torah portion from the annual cycle is a major ‘shift’ from the mainline story of the Exodus. After Moses heads up the mountain, for forty days and forty nights, the focus is now on getting ready to build something.

And why? Why now? It’s almost like He knows something, before we get to that part of the story. It turns out, there’s even more to it than that.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at parsha Terumah, Exodus chapter 25 through almost all of 27, which begins with the command from YHVH to “take for Me an OFFERING.” From a specific group of people, of a specific list of items, and for a specific purpose. The Erev Shabbat reading gives the details, of which there are many:

The impressive level of detail is this description is certainly one of the most memorable aspects of this parsha. It’s also at the heart of what might even be called ‘controversy.’ Why so much detail about a mobile tent in the wilderness? After all, it was later replaced by the temple, twice, and destroyed, twice. Some will again even claim that it’s “Old” testament, and therefore ‘done away with’ – like those temples. We may have even heard it called “boring.”

And yet, as Mark reminds us in the Sabbath day midrash, there is “no idle word” in His Torah.

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Mishpatim”

Posted on 14 February, 2026 by mark

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at what he claims is one of the most fascinating Torah portions in the whole Book, not only because of the variety of topics it covers, but the fact that they are so, let’s face it, HATED by much of society. Not only are they NOT ‘politically-correct,’ but the fact that so many of them ARE so rejected, he argues, helps explain why the “social justice-loving,” humanistic, Progressive Pagan system that has replaced His Word is such an UTTER, undeniable, even Satanic, MESS.

The Erev Shabbat reading of the parsha, with some poignant commentary:

There is a whole lot that could be said about the Sabbath Day midrash and commentary.

But, this time, it will simply be more expedient to suggest — listen to it, pray, and make up your own mind.

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Yitro”

Posted on 8 February, 2026 by mark

When the ‘mixed multitude’ comes to Mount Sinai it is clear that another major milestone is at hand, and — as we know it will emerge — another turning point has been reached. But this is set up by several major events documented by this week’s parsha (Yitro, Exodus chapters 18 through 20).

Moses’ father-in-law, Yitro (as he is called in this part of Scripture) hears a part of the story, comes to the wilderness, and brings Moshe back his wife, Zipporah, and his two sons. There he hears the “rest of the story,” recognizes YHVH himself, and offers sage advice. In that process, the mixed multitude becomes ‘echad’ as Israel. And one of the most important “downloads” from YHVH Himself follows after that stage is set:

Any reading that includes the ‘Ten Commandments’ certainly must include a look at the specifics. But in the midrash this week, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship suggests that the ‘setup’ that precedes that historic Exposition can help us understand why what Scripture refers to as those ten “Debarim,” or Words, even ‘Sayings,’ have been so…idolized, re-formatted, marginalized, edited, twisted, and, almost unbelievably, even demonized over the intervening centuries. And, as Mark also notes, by men who failed Yitro’s metric: they seem to not only LOVE ‘unjust gain,’ certainly more than Truth, because they don’t “fear YHVH” either.

And “reducing His Name to nothingness,” or void, is just one undeniable indication.

Many of us have heard the claim that the “law is done away with” — which Mark calls one of the Biggest Lies in Human history — but there is a corollary that crops up this week, which is the claim that the “Ten Commandments” may be the only part that still matters.

Well, some of ’em, anyway…

Yitro: “Hate Unjust Gain”

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Beshalach”

Posted on 1 February, 2026 by mark

Act II of ‘the Exodus’ (parsha ‘Beshalach,” Exodus/Shemot 13:17 through chapter 17) begins immediately after the last of the plagues, when Pharoah has let the people go; actually – kicked them out, “shalach”, or expelled, is how the Hebrew puts it.

And it certainly is the beginning of a whole new phase in the saga.

But that central theme of how we are all to know that “ki ani YHVH” – or “I AM Yahuah” – not only continues, but is demonstrated: Graphically, undeniably, and miraculously.
As the Erev Shabbat reading outlines:

In the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship observes that there are several specific places — and ALL of them PRIOR to the giving of the “Ten Commandments” at Mt. Sinai — where YHVH gives not only a “statute and an ordinance,” but detailed “instruction” (aka ‘torah’).

Which is a problem for the “Whore Church” claim that it is only the ‘Ten Commandments’ that still matter — all those others were just for a limited time, or for ‘the jews’, or for any number of constructed excuses for not recognizing what He means when He said that He did not come to change so much as the tiniest bit of His Instruction, any of it, so long as heaven and earth still exist. If we claim to “love Him,” it matters.
