Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. Continuing in the book of James (Ya'akov), Rabbi Steve Berkson breaks down chapter 1… • Does Elohim ‘entice' anyone to do something against His commandments? How and why are you enticed to leave the Path? • Does Yahweh ever change? • What is the definition of a “remnant”? • By what term are we who are in covenant with Elohim called? • When should you not post anything on social media? • What is the first action you should take after praying when faced with a life issue? • How are you to be “swift to hear and slow to speak”? • What is “Failure to Adult,” and why is it an epidemic today? • A Doer of Work? Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, enabling you to do it and receive the blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app Follow MTOI: https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide Contact MTOI: admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): •Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm •Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org

In this next installment of Heaven Shaking the Persian Bear, we'll take a closer look at the dawn demise of the bear in the River Euphrates per John's account in Revelation and the first Exodus as well as take a look at a pattern in the feasts that call the righteous out of Babylon before the opening/closing of the Euphrates River event.

Parsha “Emor” (Leviticus chapters 21 through 24) begins with the word “Emor,” or “speak,” and it is directed specifically: to Aaron, and his sons, and those who are ‘cohenim,’ or priests, that follow after them. Speak to THEM. And yet today, the mishkan, and the temple which followed, no longer exists. Neither does that priesthood, so far as a known lineage at least. And so, even though this instruction was given as a commandment “forever,” and “throughout your generations,” and in all your dwellings — even in exile — the things they were charged with doing cannot be done. How can it still be relevant? And though most of us have probably been told that it’s “old testament,” and thus NOT relevant, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship suggests (surprise!) otherwise. For reasons that might even be surprising. And vital. And in fact, it just might be that the fact we’ve been told to ignore so much of this, and particularly when YHVH says otherwise, that gives us every reason to look deeper. The Erev Shabbat reading lays out the details of exactly what the cohenim, those who follow the sons of Aaron, were told to do, and how: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/SSM-4-15-26-Emor-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 But that is just the start. The parsha also includes some other things, like particularly the “appointed times of YHVH,” that “make the case” so dramatically: If we can’t tell a “real priest,” or cohen, from the fakes that claim to replace them, how can we expect to recognize a fake prophet? Or, more importantly, a fake messiah, or ‘christ.’ After all, Yahushua Himself warned us against exactly that!

This show has had an aspect that involved ‘prepping’ before Preppers knew what that even was. There is, of course, more to it. But when it comes to an intended, upcoming “Power Grid Failure,” there are some practical considerations that are important. And changing. Because while there have been two major “failure mechanisms” (EMP or CME, to take it down, or sabotage, whether via cyberattack or physical destruction) — now there is a Third Way.

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. In this teaching, Rabbi Steve Berkson breaks down chapter 1 of the book of James (Ya'akov)… • How do we prove our belief? • Of what do we have to prove ourselves worthy? • What is the Creator's “love language”? • To whom did James write his letter? • How is endurance beneficial? • Are you struggling with something? • What is the “Simple Battle of Life”? • Why do you find it challenging at times to walk out the Covenant? • What does ‘double-minded' mean?

Rejoicing Under Pressure! What do Diamonds and Humans have in Common? Carbon. Did you know Jeremiah 17:1 was blotted out of the scriptures for hundreds of years but then ended up back in there? Are you a precious gemstone or are you glass? Are you building your house on shifting sand or The Rock? Are you truly trusting in and serving the One True God or a man made version? Are you living in The Kingdom or practicing a religion? Are you going to crack under pressure (tribulation) or harden into a diamond? These are all different ways to ask essentially the same biblical question. Today we are going to share with you what I believe to be a very profound message that has brought clarity to me today with regard to the extreme pressing that I personally have been feeling for at least the last year and has been getting heavier and heavier the last 6 months or so. Many brothers and sisters I know have also been dealing with very heavy issues lately both spiritual and physical. So we share this message hoping you will also be helped and encourage if you are also being pressed.  FOR MORE MESSAGES LIKE THIS ONE VISIT https://www.HisWordHeals.com/blog

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship what may be one of the most vital — and no doubt offensive to some who most need to hear it — of the Torah teachings that the Whore Church would rather be ignored. Parsha “Kedoshim” (Leviticus chapters 19 through 21) is another one of those that most of us have heard is not just “Old” Testament, and thus “done away with,” but full of stuff that we now find insufficiently WOKE to even be allowed to discuss. Prohibitions on “sorcery” and seances and “Gay Sex” – who could imagine how bigoted and certainly some kinda-phobic that is? People will no doubt soon – when the Aliens get revealed – be punished for even reading it. Too bad that’s no longer even hyperbole. And ironically, while even the ‘Whore Church’ still, at least occasionally, quotes the part about “be Holy because The LORD is holy,” even if they spin that, most folks would prefer, and have been TAUGHT to, ignore what that actually means. The Erev Shabbat reading lays out more of the details WHAT that is, and a bit of WHY it’s now, at best, passe’. More importantly, though, given what’s now ‘in-progress’ – the text makes it pretty clear it’s also deadly. https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/SSM-5-8-26-Kedoshim-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 Mark begins the Sabbath Day midrash with an explanation of the title of teaching for this week, and a bit of the irony of how the word “HOLY” has come to mean pretty much the opposite of what His Words says we are to be: Set Apart. From exactly some of what we’ve been taught. And now that the “Alien Deception” is, one way or another, in Full Swing, how will people who don’t even understand what we are to be Set Apart TO, recognize what they have already been set apart FROM, and why?

Join host Mark Call for news, commentary, and a look back at some of the major events, and propaganda, for the week ending 9 May, 2026. It started with what looked like more war, and an escalation. But then it got weird.

There was a lot of news this week for Mark Call and David Justice to review, but — given what kind of week it’s been — most of the focus needed to be “conspiracy theory,” increasingly become fact, again, and things that would have not long ago been described as just weird, from the UFO files, to underground bases and ‘free energy.’

When we proceed to “Come out of her,” it’s important to understand not only what we’re coming out OF, but then what we enter or build thereafter. One way or another, that amounts to some type of community. We may not have much choice when it comes to some neighbors, but it’s certainly important to understand the character of those whom we may choose to come to trust. When “times get tough” – and they not only already seem to be, but we have been told will – it may be difficult to know how even those closest to us might behave under great stress. What can we do? And can we hope to identify, at least in part, the Remnant? “When Faith Meets Falsehood”

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. As he continues in Ephesians chapter 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson untangles common misunderstandings about disobedience, sin, covenant, and what it truly means to love Messiah Yeshua. • What are “empty words”? • What does it mean to be “a partaker with them”? • Who are you to “have no fellowship with”? From there, Rabbi Berkson takes us to 1 Timothy chapter 1 and explains how some have missed the goal of the command given by Paul to his disciple, namely a clean heart, a good conscience, and a sincere belief, and have turned aside to senseless talk, some even teaching that the Torah no longer applies to us today, just that we believe and love Messiah. Then Rabbi Berkson moves us to 2 Peter chapter 1, where we see Peter telling us that we have been given exceedingly great and precious promises by the righteousness of our Elohim and Savior Messiah Yeshua. Rabbi Berkson also points out that belief in Elohim and His Messiah is just the foundation, and that you need to “add” to that foundation certain things. • What is “Kingdom Access”? Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.

Parsha “Acharei Mot” (Leviticus chapters 16 through 18) begins, as it says up front, “After the Death” of the two sons of Aaron. But we see several other parshas, since then. Why is that noted here, and what does it mean? And two of those have had to do with a ‘plague’ that hasn’t been seen for centuries, at least. Most of us have also been told that the things described in THIS one, too, are “old testament,” and “done away with.” Arguably, it’s even MORE wrong here! Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a story that only begins there. And if you find the connections valuable, please forward the message to those who might be blessed by it. The Erev Shabbat reading lays out the story, beginning “after the death,” and tells us, over and over again, in fact, that the “statutes” described are to be “forever,” and even tells us the consequences of the Big Lie that they’re not: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/SSM-5-2-26-Acharei-Mot-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 The story tells us “after the death,” of Aarons sons, Nadab and Abihu, that there are things that must be done, in accord with His Instruction, so that those who do so, WHEN He says so, “die not.” And then it follows with the description of the “two goats,” one for YHVH, and the other for “Azazel.” It might seem that the ‘picture’ represented by the ritual is fairly clear, and yet it’s not a ‘perfect fit’ for what Yahushua did – for several reasons. Mark begins the Sabbath Day midrash with those, and the fact that most of what — in this instance, certainly — must be called what it is, now too often ignored. Even though He says it remains a “statute forever.” And says it three times even. Many people with a ‘sunday-school’ background will remember the line from Hebrews that “it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.” But they ignore the context, and the lesson of the distinction between sin committed “in ignorance” (Hebrews 9:7) and knowing and deliberate rebellion to Him. For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Hebrews 10:26-27 This parsha then goes on to directly outline some of those things, which much of the world, and the ‘Whore Church’ which at minimum tacitly accepts, even promotes, YHVH warns about. Some — like things taught in the Publik Cesspools, and mandated by social pressures and tax subsidies — which are called “abomination,” and carry a death penalty. And they “defile the land,” which is why, He concludes, they were, and are, “vomited out” of it. We ‘cannot serve two masters.’ Which will it be? Acharei Mot: “When Does Continued Deliberate Sin In Ignorance Merit Being ‘Vomited Out’?” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/WT-CooH-5-3-26-Acharei-Mot-Do-NOT-defile-statutes-FOREVER-podcast-xxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at parsha Tazria, Leviticus chapters 12 through 14, and a discussion of what is too often dismissed as “old” testament minutia that no longer has any relevance. Mark suggests that one of the most intriguing things about certain sections — like this one! — is how things that the ‘church’ claims are irrelevant is how He may have Written it for us knowing far better. Just maybe. And the Erev Shabbat reading starts to make that case: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/SSM-4-17-26-Tazria-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 During the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark begins by asking some relevant questions, including, “what is UN-righteousness?” And what does this parsha tell us about it. And the answer follows from the observation that a person who was ‘declared’ unclean, by the cohenim, was put “outside the [clean, evidently!] camp” — until they were again declared clean. A look at the story of Miriam, and her “bad-mouthing” of Moses (in Hebrew, “lashon hora,” or the “evil tongue”) does at least begin to make the case that “gossip” or such damaging and contemptible speech, MIGHT be a cause of the ‘plague’ of tzaraat. And unlike ‘leprosy’ – there hasn’t been a single known case of tzaraat in the world for many centuries. But if “evil speech” can even remotely result in that ‘visual manifestation of a spiritual malady” – why, oh why, don’t we see it literally EVERYWHERE in a world today where the “Evil Tongue” gets you a network late night show? Did YHVH decide to stop the warning? As things get worse, and we enter into greater tribulation, wouldn’t an indicator of ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing’ be handy? Perhaps at least part of the problem is that when the whole word is ‘unclean’, there’s no point in kicking them out. Which seems to make the lesson all the more important. Tazria: “What is UN-righteousness?” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/WT-CooH-4-18-26-Tazria-No-Tzaraat-for-centuries-so-What-is-Righteousness-podcast-xxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

Host Mark Call provided news and commentary on the major events of the week ending 18 April, 2026. World War 3 is still in progress, but it there were some interesting developments, and perhaps even encouraging ones. But the underlying economic disaster remains on track. And the criminals remain in the swamp.

David Justice and Mark Call discuss the major news of the week, from the new blockade, to the newest front in the intended civil war.

There is a lot going on today besides just WW3. Some have been obvious for a while – like the eventual fiat currency meltdown – and others have been deliberately hidden. And there are some elements – like the specific motivations of those doing Evil – that we might never know. But we can make some observations with a pretty high degree of certainty. And be ready for them. “Unpleasant Alternatives: Planning for MULTIPLE [Likely!] Options”

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. The study begins with Ephesians 3:14. In this teaching, Rabbi Steve Berkson expounds on ‘Strengthening the Inner Man'. If your inner man is weak, you will fall short of the finish line and not complete the race. • How do you identify your weaknesses? • What are the “inner man exercises”? What do you do to strengthen those areas? • How do the trials and challenges in your life help you? • Who are the coaches or trainers who encourage and help you in your training?

Parsha “Shemini,” (Leviticus chapters 9 through 11) is a ‘tour de force’ of what we have been told is “old testament” and “done away with,” and the reasons why that is such a satanic lie. The story starts on the Eighth (or ‘Shemini’) day where YHVH tells Moshe and Aaron and the elders of Israel what must be done, as Aaron and his sons are consecrated to be kohenim, priests to Him. Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at the parsha, and a discussion that will again, surprise some who have, like it or not, rejected His Word in favor of a pervasive Lie. And the Erev Shabbat reading lays that out in a manner that is hard to ignore: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/SSM-4-10-26-Shemini-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 During the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark suggests that the atbash, or set of literary brackets that surround the key element in the deaths of Nadab and Abihu (“there came forth fire from before YHVH, and CONSUMED…”) also touch the very heart of the lesson. It’s all about eating, or consuming (the SAME Hebrew word, every time) and it surrounds people who were “nigh unto Me,” says YHVH. And the should have known better, but instead did that which He had NOT commanded. As if He had. And there it is. Funny how so much of what He commanded, and then warned about, has been literally “turned on its head.” And how, once we see it, the thing that some disciples once called a “hard teaching,” isn’t really so hard at all. And the Big Lie is (again) revealed for what it is.

Host Mark Call provided news and commentary on the major events of the week ending 11 April, 2026. Thankfully, World War 3 did NOT go nuclear this week, but it turns out that the ‘cease fire’ that allegedly thwarted it – at least for now – wasn’t what it was cracked up to be, either. But the underlying economic disaster is just as deadly as ever.

David and Mark discuss the major news of the week, from the ‘cease-fire’ that wasn’t, but could’ve been far worse, to the Big Question about Trump: Has he been co-opted or coerced? Is he ‘under cover’ – fighting the Banksters and Global Evil? Or he he just plain gone insane?
