And, it&#8217;s important to note that the word translated as &#8220;this is the LAW&#8221; of these activities is again the root word &#8216;torah,&#8217; and clearly makes more sense if we understand that this is INSTRUCTION about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many obvious reasons, we can&#8217;t DO them, but we can study the instruction to try to understand what we are being taught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Erev Shabbat reading:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/hebrewnationonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SSM-4-11-25-Tzav-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We no longer have a temple, or mishkan.

Except for admonitions like &#8220;don&#8217;t eat blood,&#8221; none of these things can really be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, we live in a world where even the commandments and judgments which still obviously DO apply are scoffed at. Or worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which is why some &#8220;compare and contrast&#8221; with where we find ourselves today, relative to history, and prophecy, should be informative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark suggests we are at a &#8216;cusp,&#8217; or turning point, but almost like the &#8220;calm before the storm.&#8221; Consider &#8220;dishonest weights and measures,&#8221; for example. Whatever the new President&#8217;s intention, he inherited a fiat dollar that Scripture calls &#8220;abomination,&#8221; and which WILL ultimately collapse. The question is not &#8216;IF,&#8217; but when. And, what will survive?
