Mark Call – Torah Teaching for Parsha “Shoftim”

Posted on 31 August, 2025 by mark

Parsha “Shoftim” (Deuteronomy 16:18 – 21:9) may be the most utterly “timely” commentary on the World Today, and what is so UTTERLY WRONG — given events of the last week — that we could ask for.

Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship contends in this week’s reading and midrash that the totality of the major themes in this one — from ‘REAL judges’ as opposed to ‘black-robed priests of Satan,’ to the plague of liars being “perverted witness” (and lying in oaths), to ‘false prophets’, to what it means to “put away the Evil from among you,” and what happens when society not only FAILS to do so, but promotes that evil.

If there was ever a parsha that helps clarify what it must mean to “come out of her,” and why it is now a matter of life and death – this is it!

The Erev Shabbat reading begins there, and includes what amounts to a great summary of just why that is:

We have seen in the last few portions the more than one admonition against idolatry, including <em>”don’t even bring the idol into your house.”</em>  We have seen why He prescribes a death penalty for idolatry.  And this week, both in the news, and in the Bible, we have seen what happens when that Evil among is is not exterminated, but subsidized, taught, and even mandated in the Whore Church and public cesspools.

There are a myriad of important themes in here.  But, ultimately, they all relate to just one:  ‘They’ HATE YHVH.

WARNING:  This exposition will no doubt offend some.  It should.  But Scripture is very blunt.  And so are the effects – about which we were warned.

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Re’eh”

Posted on 24 August, 2025 by mark

Parsha “Re’eh” (for “See!,”Behold!,” or even “Check it out” — Deuteronomy 11:26-16:18) begins with a blessing, and a curse. And, as Mark points out up front, the fact that even the significance of the distinction there is so often missed is a major indicator of why there is “no power in the [modern] ‘church’.”

The Erev Shabbat reading begins there, and includes what amounts to a great summary of just why that is:

Last week, the parsha told us, “Do not even bring an abomination into your house,” lest you be accursed like it.

This week, the admonition is to utterly destroy anything and everything associated with them. And as for false prophets, who try to get us to serve those fakes? Scripture prescribes — in no uncertain terms — a death penalty.

How is it that a ‘church’ which claims to worship ‘him’ has fallen into exactly that trap?

During the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa answers that question, as He does.

And as for —

Re’eh: “Other gods not known to you? “

…now they’re taught in ‘sun-god day’ school. Even though the idolatry is soft-pedaled.

It is a fact that, once seen, cannot be un-seen. But it certainly must not be ignored.

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Ekev”

Posted on 17 August, 2025 by mark

Parsha “Ekev” (for “Because,” or “it follows,” Deuteronomy 7:11-11:25) is

The Erev Shabbat reading includes that, and more:

During the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa muses about the ‘giants’ (Rephaim, Anakim, Zamzuzim, et al) that Moses warned the mixed multitude they would deal with in the land. And HOW, since they were promised to prevail.

They were big and scary, but just how intelligent were they? Arguably, perhaps more so than we might think.

The theme again has idolatry at heart, and His hatred of it. “Do not even bring an abomination into your house,” lest you be accursed like it.

Could it be that He is also talking about the newly created AI gods, made of a different form of stone — silicon? But the lesson is the same, although the threat is greater.

Ekev: “Ekev Big Scary Giants – Then and Now…But were they Smart, too?”

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Vaetchanan”

Posted on 10 August, 2025 by mark

Parsha “Vaetchanan” (for “And I pleaded,” Deuteronomy 3:23 – 7:11) is arguably THE portion that contains some of the most important “statutes and commandments” in the Bible. Not only “the Ten,” but also the one known often simply as “The Shema,” for the first word, and the fact that Yahushua called it the Greatest Commandment of all, ‘Hear, O Isreal…YHVH Elohenu, YHVH Echad.” And you shall YHVH with “all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.”

The Erev Shabbat reading includes that, and more:

During the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship suggests that there are several elements in the ‘theme’ of this parsha that are not only central to our understanding, but also must serve as a basis for some of the most important questions – and the tests that will answer them! – that explain what has gone wrong with a nation, and a world, that has not only forgotten Him – but apparently HATES Him.

And they are fundamental to what we must ‘come out of,’ and thus Who we serve.

This portion is, at least in part, about idolatry, and certainly obedience to His “statues, judgments, and commandments.” And He says THREE TIMES, in this parsha alone, that He is the ‘Jealous God,’ literally, “El Kana.” There is an important connection in that theme.

And Mark suggest that He has told us EXACTLY what we need to know in order to “rightly divide the Word,” and discern the difference between the fake and the Real. Both “adding to,” and “subtracting from” His Word, as Written, are flashing red warning signs that there is Major Deception Afoot. And Exile was, and remains, the result.

Vaetchanan: “A Jealous El Kana – don’t Add To, or Subtract From”

Torah Teaching for combined Parsha “Masei – Debarim”

Posted on 3 August, 2025 by mark

This week, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship does a somewhat different combination of the recent ‘double-parsha,’ and combines the end of the Book of Numbers (Masei, Numbers 33 through the end of the Book) with the first parsha, Debarim (Deuteronomy/Debarim 1 through 3:22) in the final Book of the Torah, of that same name. Both have to do with a bit of a recap, as the children of Israel begin to – finally – complete their 40 years b’midbar – in the wilderness – and prepare to enter the land.

And Debarim is vital, and different in many ways, from the rest of the Torah. In large measure, it is not only the last chapter of Moses’ life, but his ‘farewell address.’ And, as Mark never misses pointing out, it is THE most quoted Book by the American Founders during the entire Revolutionary Era. And fundamental to the ‘English – and then American – Common Law.’

The Erev Shabbat summary and reading of the text:

Why does Moses’ recap take the form it does, and why is it so relevant today?

It begins with a poignant reminder: “It is [only!] eleven days journey,” from where they started, to where they were. But it took forty years, and every male, save the two, of fighting age died along the way.

Moses knows he is about to die, and he knows what is coming for the sons of Israel: War. They must take the land.

But other major change is at hand as well. They sandals didn’t wear out – year after year. They didn’t have to plant or harvest food; manna was there for them without fail. All of that will soon be over.

And the ‘giants’ that so terrified their fathers? They were there, and YHVH led them to battle, and those “mighty men” fell before them.

We, too, are facing what look like major, perhaps earth-shattering, change. And giants? They’re still out there, and those who fail to “Trust in YHVH,” have more reason to be terrified than ever.

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Matot”

Posted on 27 July, 2025 by mark

This week’s annual cycle Torah reading is parsha “Pinchas,” Numbers 30:2 through chapter 32) and – in part at least – it wraps up one of the mysteries in the Torah, how can a people so blessed of YHVH fall so quickly into idolatry, and beset by ‘plague?’

But there is far more, and the issue of “vows” literally envelops the narrative.

As it still does today.

The Erev Shabbat reading:

The Sabbath Day midrash is at attempt to connect a collection of dots that range from broken vows and lying prophets to bioweaponry and ELE asteroid impacts.

The prophet Bilaam really wanted to curse the mixed multitude of Israel, but was explicitly forbidden to do so, on pain of death – as he learned “the hard way.” Only “the word that Elohim puts in my mouth, that I shall speak.” And yet, like so many ancient popes and modern traitors in politics, he thought he was smarter than God Himself, and could find a “workaround.” It cost him.

Today we don’t have a Moses to “hang ’em high,” or a Pinchas to literally run them through, ‘en flagrante delecto,’ with a spear.

Which only makes the potential consequences all the more deadly. And imminent.

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Pinchas”

Posted on 20 July, 2025 by mark

This week’s annual cycle Torah reading is parsha “Pinchas,” Numbers 25:10-30:1) and it contains what is sometimes perhaps one of the most perplexing stories in the Torah, that of the cohen or priest Pinchas, who runs through two open idolators with a spear, and is awarded the eternal “Covenant of Peace (Shalom)” by YHVH Himself for the effort.

The Erev Shabbat reading:

The Sabbath Day midrash is all about the ‘apparent’ contradiction. Actually, contradictions, plural:
How can a man be given that eternal Covenant of Shalom for what some might call “murder”? And, given the context, and history, this is also a man who is often thought to be a “type and shadow” of the then-coming Messiah Himself. Can Pinchas somehow be a role model? And what are the parameters, the indications, for anyone else to do anything of the sort?

No wonder it’s been called “problematic.”

And yet the story is undeniable. The connections to the prophet Eliyahu, or Elijah, who was also notably “zealous” (the Hebrew word is the same, as Mark points out) for YHVH are dramatic, and referenced in both the haftorah selection, and even Paul’s commentary in Romans 11.

And Eliyahu, too, had a hand in the deaths of SO many pagan “priests of Baal.”

How do we connect these dots?

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Balak”

Posted on 13 July, 2025 by mark

This week’s annual Torah cycle reading is parsha “Chukat,” (Numbers 22:2-25:9) and represents a unique shift from the story of the mixed multitude “in the wilderness” to that of a pagan king who – much like Pharoah before the Exodus – is afraid of the people now lead by Moses.

And it’s a story that is part comedy, part prophecy, and a large part Today’s Headlines.

The Erev Shabbat reading:

The Sabbath Day midrash begins where the story leaves off. Can a nation once undeniably blessed manage to curse itself?

Balak: “How did an ancient pagan prophet tell us about TODAY’s plague?”

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Chukat” from Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa

Posted on 6 July, 2025 by mark

The annual cycle Torah reading for this week is parsha “Chukat,” Numbers chapters 19 through 21) and it contains what is sometimes called the most enigmatic “chuq” (or, “do this because He says so”) in the Torah: the Red Heiffer, or parah adumah. Even Solomon is thought to have said he just didn’t quite get it.

The Erev Shabbat reading:

The Sabbath Day midrash tackles that Greatest Mystery head on. But, even more interesting, what might be the SECOND most mysterious ‘chuq’ in the Torah is in this same parsha! The “bronze serpent” (but the Hebrew term is much more alliterative: ‘nachash nachoshet’) – aka the ‘snake on a stick.’

There is a common thread that runs through this entire portion, too. Actually, several, but all evidently related: Death. And some important numbers. And water, in multiple ways, and ‘salvation.’ But still one more that Mark suggests, which may even help explain some of the confusion, is “I blame Moses.”

Chukat: “From the Red Heifer to the Snake-on-a-Stick — I blame Moses”

Torah Teaching for Parsha “Korach” from Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa

Posted on 29 June, 2025 by mark

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa Fellowship for a two-part study of the Torah parsha reading for this week, is “Korach,” (Numbers chapters 16 through 18) and the infamous rebellion which bears that name.

The Erev Shabbat reading:

By now, perhaps it should be no surprise that Scripture sets the stage for events in the world. And, “rightly divided,” also reveals when passages have been “twisted,” or even inverted to suit the ‘prince of this world, and his big-brother servants.

The story of Korach is about a rebellion. To Moses, specifically, but certainly to YHVH as well. And the story proves that point conclusively. But, still,
Korach: “This was MOSES, fer cryin’ out loud!”

Aren’t there more subtle issues when the question of ‘rebellion’ isn’t so clear-cut, and when it’s not so blatantly obvious that the rebellion is against His anointed? Israel, after all, has had bad kings, who “did evil in the sight of YHVH.” Yet, most still claim to be doing “God’s work,” but it just may not be obvious which ‘god.’

Is there a way to be sure?
