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 Berkson clarifies a couple of things, including the authority given to the husband in Scripture. It seems that some people misinterpreted what Rabbi said in the last teaching, to the point that it could be very troublesome in some marriages. So Rabbi Steve takes the opportunity to give some “Covenant-Live Coaching” for married couples, those looking to be married soon, and those who should not be in an intimate relationship yet, including teenagers. Then, moving into Ephesians chapter 6, Rabbi Berkson addresses the children and “servants”. Which commandment is for the children, and which is the only one with a promise? Could this commandment have a deeper, more far-reaching interpretation? Paul wrote to the fathers not to “provoke” their children…what does this mean? 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. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide 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
Hello, everyone. Once again, as I'm gathering information and assembling Scripture for such a time as this, there is just enough time to prepare notes for you this week, but not enough time to edit a full newsletter teaching. Scriptural numbers and dates are lining up with significance to the current situation in Iran faster than I can record and sort them. In this next installment of Heaven Shaking the Persian Bear I plan to explain the pattern of the the Prince of Persia within Daniel and John's visions of the Beast Kingdom.
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: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/SSM-2-13-Mishpatim-teaching-only-podcast-xxx.mp3 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. Mishpatim: “His Way is SO Much Better — We Get Instead What We Did NOT Expect”” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/WT-CooH-2-14-Mishpatim-His-Way-is-Better-We-get-instead-what-we-did-NOT-expect-podcast-xxxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:
Mark Call’s summary of the news and commentary for the week ending 14 February, 2026. You might have thought by now that some of the lessons would be obvious…
David Justice and Mark Call discuss the events of the week, and some of the increasing number of ways in which even the Deception is reaching “Biblical Proportions.”
This week Mark welcomes special guest Sam Andrews to the show for the first time. Sam has an amazing background and skill set, having worked as a strategic planner for the Department of War, and served his country overseas “out of uniform” as a contractor, then having worked as an engineer and expert in the design of firearms and ammunition, and doing training as well, for various agencies. He continues to do that now via his own business, Freedom Center USA, in Lebanon, Missouri, and in addition has expertise in health, which he applies to his wife’s business selling peptides. Sam’s website is FreedomTrain.net, where he provides information and training, and where he builds sophisticated custom small arms. Host Mark Call notes up front that he found no shortage of topics to talk about with Sam, ranging from faith to firearms, and in areas as varied as flying to ham radio, and, perhaps not surprisingly, to where we are now as a society, and what that means.

Love and Torah—what's the link? This series explores the “Two Great Commands’: loving Yahweh and loving your neighbor. Building on Ephesians 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson starts with verse 18, discussing “emotional preferences” and how they can either help or hinder your walk in Torah. Moving to verse 22, he encourages husbands and wives to understand the roles of marriage as outlined by Elohim. Rabbi Berkson carefully analyzes these passages to deepen your understanding of what Yahweh expects, guiding you to fulfill these expectations and receive His 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 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
Heaven is Shaking the Bear Iran in Prophecy This Week: Provoking the Bear This Shabbat we'll examine the provocation of the bear as found in the Scriptures concerning Elisha, the restoration of life springs in Jericho, the mocking boys, and the death of forty-two by the tearing she-bears. We'll see how it might pertain to the present situation in Iran, and time permitting, how the Persian bear and Roman board are related.
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: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/SSM-2-6-Yitro-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 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” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/WT-CooH-2-7-Yitro-Hate-UNJUST-gain-essence-of-the-Ten-Debarim-and-other-INSTRUCTION-Still-Extant-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:
Host Mark Call wraps up the news for the week ending 7 Febuary, 2026, with no shortage of commentary and perspective on the otherwise almost unbelievable level of Pure Evil being revealed. And more than a bit of manipulation, on every front, too!
David Justice and Mark Call discuss the events of the week.
If there’s a single phrase that seems to capture the theme of the last week’s news, it must be ‘widespread satanic attack.’ And more and more people are starting to realize not only that the ‘conspiracy theorists’ have been right for a long, long time — they may have been soft-pedaling the truth. But that is still largely ignored by the lying WasteStream Media. Instead, “all is well” – except, obviously, when it comes to the White House. So it’s quite a feat to accomplish. But – just about EVERYTHING being pushed, even when it’s double-mindedly contradictory, is a lie.

Love and Torah—what's the connection? This series is based on the “Two Great Commands’: loving Yahweh and loving your neighbor. Continuing with Ephesians 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson highlights how Messiah Yeshua clarified the scriptural meaning of “love your neighbor as yourself” by adding, “love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12). What does it truly mean to be ‘walking in darkness’? How can Yahweh see that you hold Him in importance? What institution has He given us that serves as a model for these relationships? How are love and time interconnected, and what exactly is a “generational curse”? Rabbi Steve shares several personal stories to illustrate common issues we all face as we navigate our vertical and horizontal relationships. Once again, Rabbi Berkson breaks down these passages to deepen your understanding of what Yahweh expects so you can fulfill it and receive His blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide 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
Continuation from last week...
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: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/SSM-1-30-26-Beshalach-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 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. Beshalach: “And ALL of this is Before Sinai” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/WT-CooH-1-31-26-Beshalach-ALL-Before-Sinai-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:
Mark Call had scheduled an interview for the show this week, but — thanks to microShaft and what they did to Skype, now “Teams,” that was a total disaster, with no audio. So, in it’s place – this is the news summary for a week where a similar point is pretty clear:
Mark Call summarizes the news, with commentary, for the week ending January 31st, 2026, where it became increasingly clear that a ‘bought-and-paid for’ Communist “color revolution” is well under way, with lyin’ WasteStream Media support, but where enough truth still managed to come out to give those who know what form of government we were supposed to have at least some hope. NOTE: Mark Call had scheduled an interview for the “Come out of her” Show this week, but — thanks to microShaft and what they did to Skype, now “Teams,” that was a total disaster, with no audio. So, this same podcast has been put in place there, since this is the news summary for a week where a similar point is pretty clear:

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 Ephesians 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson reveals the “two main areas of our existence.” This concept has much to do with the meaning of our existence and how we treat each other, according to scripture. From verse 13, the word “reprove” or “convicted” is further defined, at the request of many. What are the fruits of darkness? (verse 11) What did Paul mean when he wrote, “wake up, you who sleep”? (verse 14) To whom was he referring? How does one do that? How can you know if you're one of those who need to wake up? How does Elohim expect us to walk before Him? (verse 15) Rabbi Berkson clarifies what it means to walk “exactly.” To what are we compared if we do or don't “walk exactly”? Many ask Rabbi Berkson if he would take them “deeper” in their walk. Their definition of “deeper” is somewhat different, so he corrects and redefines what “deeper” really means. Do you know when you actually have a problem or just an undesirable challenge? Rabbi Berkson brings much-needed wisdom to this topic that just might give you some relief. Do you know what the phrase “redeem the time” refers to? 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.

Heaven is Shaking the Bear Iran in Prophecy Hello, everyone. Last week in the livestream, we did a brief review of Principalities and Powers for those newer to the CG teaching, and tomorrow we'll look more into the "bear" aspect of the Beast kingdom, the abomination that causes desolation, and the significance of the number 42 to the Beast and how it might pertain to the present situation in Iran. Please join us. Please SUBSCRIBE to our newsletter to get new teachings.
The final part of what might be called “Act I” of ‘the Exodus’ (parsha Bo, Exodus/Shemot 10:1 – 13:16) concludes with the final set of the ‘3 sets of 3, plus one’ plagues, and the ‘death of the firstborn. But there is much more, because it also lays out the first of what are the Moedim, or Appointed Times, of YHVH, and what is not only the most dramatic, but so fundamental to all of Scripture, even if much of ‘the church’ may have become disconnected from the ‘why’. It again bgins with what Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship contends is THE key understanding in the Book, and of the Creator Himself, “ki ani YHVH,” (no, not “I am the LORD,” but His real Name, and just how he makes very clear what that means.) It is also clear that this final plague is very different from the others that precede it, as the Erev Shabbat reading outlines: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/SSM-1-23-26-Bo-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 This is the story of the first Pesach, or Passover. Our fathers’ fathers were supposed to “teach your children.” It was YHVH’s first demonstrated ‘moed,’ or of His ‘Appointed Times.’ And He gave Instruction about it — to remember it, to set it apart, “forever,” and “throughout your generations.” So what happened? The Sabbath Day midrash begins with a question, and it’s one that may even be overlooked today: Bo: “What is all this concern about the Firstborn?” The answer will help a Whole Lot of the pieces to fall into place. https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/WT-CooH-1-24-26-Bo-What-is-this-Concern-About-the-Firstborn-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

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 Ephesians 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues teaching us how to love each other. Stopping at verse 1, he expounds on becoming imitators of Elohim as dear children. In verse 2, we are exhorted to walk in love as the Messiah also loved us, giving ourselves to others as a gift to Elohim. Do you want to send up a “sweet-smelling aroma” to Yahweh? Learn to serve others. In verses 3 and 4, we see a list of behaviors that should not even be named among the Body of Messiah. Rabbi Berkson takes some time to clarify one of those behaviors – uncleanness. • What do these behaviors have to do with loving each other? In verse 5, there is something we are expected to know – what is it we should know? Why should we know it? In verse 6, Rabbi Berkson asks why Paul would write about “empty words”. What are they? Why are we cautioned about them? How have some teachers misconstrued the meaning of “empty words”? How do they affect our inheritance in the Kingdom of Elohim? In verses 7-10, Rabbi Berkson asks, “Who are you trying to please?” 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.
Continuation from last week...
Part II of the story of ‘the Exodus’ (Vayeira, Exodus/Shemot 6:2 through chapter 9) begins with what Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship contends is THE key understanding in the Book, and of the Creator Himself, “ki ani YHVH,” and the fact that He will NOW make that known. It is not that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had never heard that Name, just that He did “not make Himself KNOWN” to them as He is now about to do. And that includes the first of the “Ten Plagues” of Egypt, although, they are probably better thought of as the “Three sets of three, plus one,” that is different from the others: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/SSM-1-16-26-Vayeira-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 Over a number of years of teaching this parsha, Mark has focused on the intriguing patterns among the plagues, and the progression, all of which may well be a harbinger of what we might see during the prophesied “Greater Exodus” to come, the and fact that the plagues are each ‘judgments’ (or even humiliations) of the fake gods of Egypt by the Real One. He also does not fail to note the “conflation” about Pharaoh’s heart being “hardened,” either by himself, or later on, by YHVH — because there are TWO different Hebrew words used for what happened, but the distinction is often lost in most English translations. But in the Sabbath Day midrash this time, Mark suggests that current events, including things we have already seen that point to elements of prophecy already making headlines, take us back to the central issue of what makes us human: Free Will. Choice. Did Pharaoh have it? Shaul, or Paul, in Romans chapter 9, addressed the issue with his famous metaphor of the potter, and his clay, which doesn’t get to ask whether it will be formed into a “vessel for honor,” or the equivalent of an ashtray, destined for something very different. And is it just possible that the “closing bracket” set of plagues might end up being directed at what we might think of as an “Artificial Intelligence” version of a Skynet Pharaoh? Does such a creation even have “free will?” Did Pharaoh, at least at some point? And, when did his ‘choice’ become a terminal commitment? Vayeira: When Does “Free-Will” Become Terminal? https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/WT-CooH-1-17-26-Vayeira-when-does-free-will-become-terminal-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:
Mark Call wraps up the news for the week ending January 17th, 2026, with no shortage of commentary and perspective on the perfidy, the petulance, and even the pitiful pretension.
This week special guest, and long-time HNR favorite, Daniel Holdings, joins Mark Call for a candid, and perhaps surprising, look at the week’s news, as well as where we are, and where we are headed.
In last week’s show, host Mark Call talked about the descent of the USA descended into clear insanity. In the last week, it is not the fact THAT the Criminals in Control lie, it is the acceleration of those lies that stands out. Tampon Tim Walz, caught in levels of corruption that would make the Senile Imposter blush, has doubled-down. And the Far Left is thrilled to have gotten a Soros Stooge to commit SuICEde-by-Cop to distract the Idiocracy for a bit. None of this should really surprise us; those who can read history, and economics, and sociology, and Scripture have long known it was coming. But the ‘acceleration of the acceleration’ toward collapse may still catch many off-guard. We should have known the Constitution was made a ‘dead letter’ before the 2020 election was rigged; the intent was simply to “cement the gains,” and make their Communist Revolution permanent. The Election Rig and Fraud in 2024, however, just wasn’t big enough to overcome the landslide. But STILL< not a single indictment, much less prosecution for treason, has happened. And the violence is being unleashed. Mark suggests, be ready for: Police State vs Police State
