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. To refresh our minds and hearts, Rabbi Steve Berkson brings us back to 1 John chapter 1 to expound on who Messiah Yeshua is and what He should be to all of us, namely life, light, and truth. Through this understanding, we should do our utmost to live in the light, having fellowship with Elohim and with each other. This fellowship is achievable only by living in covenant with Elohim, where there is only light and no darkness at all. In chapter 2 of 1 John, Rabbi Berkson begins by identifying the number one problem, according to him, in the Body of Messiah today. • How can you know that you know Messiah? • How is the love of Elohim ‘perfected' in you? • What is a ‘stumbling block'? How does it affect your life and walk? • What is meant by “do not love the World nor that which is in it”? • Are we in the “Last Hour”? • What is an ‘anti-messiah'? • Why did John say, “and you know all…”? • What happens when someone rejects Torah? • How do you know that you are “born of Him”? You can only understand Love and Torah when you understand how light and darkness can influence and work in your life. 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. mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app youtube.com/@mtoi facebook.com/mtoiworldwide 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

Prophetic Pattern of the Psalms Pt 2 It is very interesting that we are currently in the 3 week time period known by the Jews as ‘between the Straits' which started the evening of July 1st this year and ends the evening of July 22nd this year.  The war in the Strait of Hormuz has certainly intensified this past week after what was supposedly a ceasefire peace deal.  The Strait of Hormuz kept popping up on my news feed until finally this past Shabbat Abba prompted me to look up the word Hormuz in Hebrew to see if it in any form was in scripture. So I looked up the translation for a Hebrew word spelled Hey Resh Mem Zayin which are the consonants for the word Hormuz in Hebrew. That word spelled that way is HaRemez and means the hint, allusion, or symbol. Ha is a prefix meaning the and remez is hint allusion or symbol.  Turns out there is a very interesting connection between HaRemez, the Strait of Hormuz, AND this time of fasting and mourning known to the Jews as the time “Between the Straits” and in this message I will tell you all about it.  Additionally and interestingly our Psalm per day reading that I told you about in the last message seems to be lining up with the current escallation of the war in the Strait of Hormuz and the “Between the Straights” last 9 days known as an intensification in the mourning and fasting.  This Wednesday and Thursday July 22 and 23, 2026 are the end day of the fast and the infamous 9th of Av.  The corresponding Psalms of 109 through 111 are very interesting… could they be prophetic of events that may take place either shortly before, on, or shortly after the end of the time “Between the Strait(s)… or Hormuz?  We only have a few days before we find out.  VISIT US ONLINE FOR MORE MESSAGES LIKE THIS ONE AT www.HisWordHeals.com Calendar Prophetic Pattern of the Psalms_updated_July only Calendar Prophetic Pattern of the Psalms_updated whole calendar

The Food of the Gods “I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, as to what you will tell him: for I am lovesick. What kind of beloved is your beloved, O most beautiful among women? What kind of beloved is your beloved, that thus you adjure us?” (So 5:9)   “The nations of the world say to Israel: ‘How is your beloved more than another beloved?” In what way is He God more than other gods, in what way is He a protector more than other protectors?'” (Midrash Rabbah to Shir 5§9)   Once again, the proto-typical event is the exodus from Egypt:   “For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night and will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments—I am the LORD.” (Ex 12:12) “And what one nation on the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people and to make a name for Himself, and to do a great thing for You and awesome things for Your land, before Your people whom You have redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, from nations and their gods?” (2 Sa 7:23)   When did the other “gods” of the pantheon assume power over the nations?   And are these entities unruly evil demons or ruly assigned powers over the principalities (2 Pe 2:10; Jde 1:8)?   Too involved to answer, and probably not so fruitful, but when Israel goes into the principality of an assigned power, in a sense, it is the territory of that nation's assigned angelic majesty, elohim, or “judge, authority.” There are indeed, however, unruly demonic entities that operate within those principalities that are worshipped as gods.   Elohim is spirit, yet He “eats” the gifts of our worship, the human desire to be near to Him expressed in gifts and sacrifices:   ”You shall consecrate him, therefore, for he offers the food of your God; he shall be holy to you; for I the LORD, who sanctifies you, am holy.” (Le 21:8) “Speak to Aaron, saying, ‘No man of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect shall approach to offer the food of his God.'” (Le 21:17) “…nor shall you accept any such [blemished, diseased] from the hand of a foreigner for offering as the food of your God; for their corruption (“decay”) is in them, they have a defect, they shall not be accepted for you.'” (Le 22:25)   Elohim’s food is to receive our heartfelt, lovesick obedience free of the decay of death. Our food is to do the will of the Father who sent Yeshua, the Living Word. (Jn 4:34)   The evil and unclean gods of the pantheon also receive “food” when we idolize them [we actually worship ourselves and they enable it]. As in the Garden, when the serpent offered the humans the opportunity to “be like God,” so evil spirits receive the gifts and sacrifices of human beings as food, fuel for their ability to cross into our realm and proliferate.   It was the serpent who was trying to be like God, and he needed Adam and Eve to feed that desire. He fed them what they desired; they fed him what he desired. The serpent is always eager to feed our wrong appetite, desire, emotion, and intellect. The end result, though, is death, not life.   Obedience to Elohim's voice, however, produces life and the ability to continue abundant life in the Garden, a Land flowing with milk and honey, wine and balsam.   The following recitation for the tithe of the third year contains specific language that reminds us we are not to feed the dead, whether ancestors or gods.   Instead, we feed only our Elohim with our holies of sacred obedience. In return, our Elohim sets us high above all the nations and their gods. This is why our Beloved is high above all others and why we are lovesick, seeking His Voice in the night of exile, which is what Adam and Eve should have done, waited to hear His Voice walking in the cool of the evening.   “When you have finished paying all the tithe of your increase in the third year, the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the stranger, to the orphan and to the widow, that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied. You shall say before the LORD your God, ‘I have removed the sacred portion from my house, and also have given it to the Levite and the alien, the orphan and the widow, according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me; I have not transgressed or forgotten any of Your commandments. I have not eaten of it while mourning, nor have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor offered any of it to the dead. I have listened to the voice of the LORD my God; I have done according to all that You have commanded me. Look down from Your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel, and the ground which You have given us, a land flowing with milk and honey, as You swore to our fathers.' This day the LORD your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances. You shall therefore be careful to do them with all your heart and with all your soul. You have today declared the LORD to be your God, and that you would walk in His ways and keep His statutes, His commandments and His ordinances, and listen to His voice. The LORD has today declared you to be His people, a treasured possession, as He promised you, and that you should keep all His commandments; and that He will set you high above all nations which He has made, for praise, fame, and honor; and that you shall be a consecrated people to the LORD your God, as He has spoken.” (Dt 26:12-19)   The unruly rebellious entities derive power when they are worshipped; in a sense, they are “fed” by human beings, which attracts greater numbers of unclean and evil spiritual beings…unclean in that those spirits are NOT assigned to the physical realm, but they hunt for physical hosts to enable them to operate there. It actually speeds the process of death and decay to the host because it is an unclean mixture. Life is only within one's assigned realm:   “Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation.” (Mt 12:45)   When we “feed” a spiritual entity our disobedience and rebellion, we transgress, mixing two realms, which invites death, not life. It has no place in the life of a believer in Yeshua, or in a human being at all. This is why disobedience is equated with witchcraft:   For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king.” (1 Sa 15:23)   Because of this rebellion, the kingship and authority was forfeited. Just as in the Garden when the serpent had to entice the human beings into rebelling in order to commandeer their authority to rule, so we still can be deceived into the giving our spiritual authority to the beast by trying to be “like God.” There is only one Elohim, and all other beings are created by Him, even the rebels of the universe. An altar is a “table” connecting the physical realm with the spiritual. Why would we feed rebellious spirits the food of our own disobedience and share their demonic table fare?   “Look at the nation Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar? What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.” (1 Co 10:19-21)   Angelic powers over principalities don't need or want human worship to enlarge their influence or authority; they already have authority because it is assigned to them. Perhaps it was pre-assigned when the heavenly hosts were created, but more likely their creation prepared them to be assigned to their supervisory divisions after the Flood:   “Two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.” (Ge 10:25; 32; 1 Ch 1:19)   There is also this verse that synchronizes the symbolic 70 nations of the earth and their divisions to the number of Israelites who went down to Egypt:   “Your fathers went down to Egypt seventy persons in all, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars of heaven. (Dt 10:22) “When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He separated the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.” (Dt 32:8)   This may not be a contradiction, but a hint to the restoration work in progress, a plan where the twelve tribes of Israel would become the judges over the nations from the gates of Jerusalem, i.e., the gates to the Garden of Eden, and the assigned princes over the nations would be shaken out of the way, that role concluded.   Whatever the details of the plan, it is evident that these angelic majesties were anticipated and assigned, but the original plan was for the righteous among humankind to judge those angels in administering the Kingdom on earth and possibly in the heavenlies:   “Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?” (1 Co 6:2-3)   These things are what makes our Beloved greater than the other gods of the nations. In addition, Messiah Yeshua can give his most beautiful Bride authority to rule the nations as at the beginning when Adam and Even ruled.   The gods of the nations, whether unruly demonic or the ruly assigned angelic majesties, cannot and will not give this kind of authority, for their authority is either usurped or only a temporary assignment.   “He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS; AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES, as I also have received authority from My Father; and I will give him the morning star.” (Re 2:26-28)   The morning star? The first resurrection! We can share Yeshua’s table at the wedding supper of the Lamb. (Re 3:20) Please SUBSCRIBE to our newsletter to get new teachings.

Parsha ‘Devarim’ (Deuteronomy chapters 1 thru 3) are the “Words” that Moshe spoke to ‘all Israel’ during the last month of his life, and thus his “farewell address.” It’s also an elegant summary of His Torah, or the total Instruction, that was given by YHVH through him. And it begins with the parsha that introduces the Book with, of course, the same Hebrew name. The Erev Shabbat reading by Mark Call of SSM: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/SSM-7-17-26-Devarim-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 The story that Moses ‘retells’ begins with a poignant observation: “It is [only] 11 days journey,” from …where you started off… to …where you were to end up. And yet it took 40 years. Then follows the lesson. After all, they were THERE with Moshe — even if some were very young, or even born after things he pointed out. But they were ALL still ‘very close’ to the situation. Thousands of years later, we still have the Book. But if they failed to “get it,” and heed the lesson, “how much more so” those who have been taught it has been “done away with,” and doesn’t even matter any more? Do we have a “love of the Truth,” or not? And, if so, can we rightly divide that ‘Word’ — and even follow after the Real, instead of the fake? “Debarim: Those Closest STILL Needed a Reminder – ‘How much MORE so’ Now?” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/WT-CooH-7-18-26-Devarim-Those-Close-STILL-Needed-a-Reminder-the-Heavy-and-Light-podcast-xxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

News, commentary, and some important reflection, for the week ending Friday, 16 July, 2026.

This week the war, already long-escalated, took another quantum leap toward finality. And there was more show trial, more nomination posturing and lies, and more revelation of utter corruption in any unconstitutional agency with three or more letters. And yet, suggests Mark Call, there was an address by the president, that – during any other period of US history – would have been above-the-fold banner headlines in every news outlet on earth: the US has been riddled with election fraud. And it’s been covered up and lied about. Co-host David Justice suggests that there was little if anything ‘new’ in the speech; we’ve — if we’ve been paying attention — knew almost all of that years ago. And yet, somehow, there’s plenty of importance to ‘disagree’ about. Is it too late?

“Do Governments ALWAYS Lie?” Or is it just the safe way to bet? After all, even King David lied about at least one thing – his complicity in the murder of Uriah the Hittite, to cover up adultery. But maybe there is a bit of truth on occasion — after all, the “80/20 Rule” suggests it’s often THE most effective way to get the populace to swallow the propaganda, even though the “Big Lie” is usually in-play as well. Today host Mark Call looks at the evidence, but more importantly – the Implications. And they are literally “life and death,” and getting more so by the day.

Have you maintained a faithful, straight walk in Torah? Or have you gotten “off the path” a little or a lot? Do you sense a call to return to the path, to Yahweh? As Rabbi Steve Berkson concludes this teaching series, he begins with Joel 2:12, where we see Elohim giving His people instruction on how to return to Him. As Rabbi Berkson points out, Yahweh expects those returning to Him to be serious about repairing the breach in the relationship. • What is tearing your garments? Why does Elohim want a tearing of the heart instead? • What does Elohim do to get your attention so that you return to the path? In Jeremiah 32:37-42, Yahweh says that as much as He brought evil to His people for their turning away from Him, He will bring just as much good to those who return. • When Elohim says, “I shall give them one heart…”, is He just going to hand out new hearts to everybody? • Ephesians chapter 2 talks to us about the opportunity given to us to become what? Moving to Isaiah 1:16-20, Rabbi Berkson points out that with a holistic understanding of Scripture, it's not possible to get the message that Elohim just gives us everything. He also points out that the Scriptures can be used by many to draw erroneous conclusions. • What is a ‘holistic' approach to the Scriptures? • How could someone prove from Scripture that their chicken was the Messiah? • What is evil? How does Yahweh define evil? • When Elohim says, “Come let us reason together…” (Isaiah 1:18), does that mean Yahweh wants your input? In Isaiah chapter 58, Rabbi Steve clarifies that to truly be in covenant with our Creator, two things must work together. • Is this chapter only referring to Yom Kippur? • Doesn't Elohim always respond to fasting and afflicting ourselves? • What are the two things it takes to please Elohim? • How does Rabbi Berkson interpret ‘speaking your own words'? Verse-by-verse and step-by-step, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us on a journey of discovery as we learn how to covenant with our Creator and Father, which, from time to time, requires us to turn around and return (Shuva) to His Word so that we can have a sure entrance into His Kingdom. mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app youtube.com/@mtoi facebook.com/mtoiworldwide 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

Parsha ‘Matot’ (Numbers 30:2 through chapter 32) is one of those that Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship thinks, because of the “not-politically-correct” and thus too often utterly neglected chapter 30, deserves much more attention that it gets, particularly for reasons he tries to make clear. The Erev Shabbat reading is certainly an introduction: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/SSM-7-10-26-Matot-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 The Sabbath day midrash begins by making clear, at least in part, why Mark is not a fan of combining Numbers chapter 30 into a double-portion. BUT, at least there are certainly consistent threads that link them, and demonstrate WHY honoring our word is so vital. The ‘rest of the story’ is why civilization collapses without it. And we’re there. And Numbers chapter 30 is at the heart of most of it. “Matot [and Masei]: Real MEN MUST ALWAYS Be Bound By their Word” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/WT-CooH-7-11-26-Matot-Only-Real-MEN-can-be-BOUND-by-their-Word-podcast-xxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

Daniel Chp 11 DANIEL11rev

An “existential threat” is something that is deadly — whether to individuals, or entire societies. Or even the whole world. Some of them, like nuclear war, or a solar CME ‘extinction event,’ we may not be able to do anything about. But there are others that we CAN understand, and even avoid. The important related question is, “do we have the knowledge – and will – to DO it?” “What I learned from FYING…or, ‘Existential Threats That People Just DON’T Think About’…Enough”

Mark Call on the 250th Anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence

Continuing from the last episode, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us from Ezekiel chapter 18 to chapter 33. In the first part of the chapter, Yahweh appoints the prophet Ezekiel as a “watchman” who warns the people of that time about the judgment coming upon them. Yahweh also gives clear instructions for how this appointment should be carried out, with a warning to the prophet of the consequences should he fail to perform his duties. 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

News and commentary for Monday, 22 June, 2026. And the ‘peace talks’ are on…off…on…maybe. If Bibi ever lets ’em.

Have you maintained a faithful, straight walk in Torah? Or have you gotten “off the path” a little or a lot? Do you sense a call to return to the path, to Yahweh? Taking us to Jeremiah 29:12, Rabbi Steve Berkson points out Yahweh's pattern of behavior toward His people. When He needs to correct covenant behavior, He starts with small, subtle nudges and then uses more severe measures to get our attention. If He determines that we are not listening or responding, we will be turned loose to “play with the pigs” and, hopefully, come to ourselves and return to Him and the Covenant. • What's the first thing one should do when returning to Yahweh? • What is “hedging an apology”? • What does it mean not to seek Yahweh with all your heart? In Isaiah 55:6, two things are mentioned – seeking Yahweh while He can still be found and calling on Him while He is near. • What causes Him not to be near? What separates you from Him and creates distance? • Why do we not fully understand and accept His ways? • What are 3 things that will forever be in the Kingdom of Elohim? From there, Rabbi Berkson takes us to Lamentations chapters 3 and 5, where we see the formula for a prayer of repentance. • Have you ever been contrary to the Covenant out of rebellion? • What does “renew our days as of old” mean? Then we hop back to Jeremiah 6:8-17, where we see that the Torah is much more than just “The Law”; it is for our instruction. Yahweh wants us to be ‘instructed' by Him. • How can our ears be “uncircumcised”? • Why does Yahweh want to see us walk out His instructions? • What is “greedy for gain”? Verse-by-verse and step-by-step, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us on a journey of discovery, learning how to covenant with our Creator and Father, which, from time to time, requires us to turn around and return to His Word so that we can have a sure entrance into His Kingdom. 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

Parsha ‘Korach’ (Numbers chapters 16 through 18) is popularly known as the story of “Korah’s Rebellion.” And the Erev Shabbat reading of the portion by Mark Call of SSM certainly explains why: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/SSM-6-19-26-Korach-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 But we risk missing out if we don’t ask some important questions, and not even just “why?” This was, after all, the guy who had led them through the Red, er, Sea of Reeds, and spoke directly to YHVH Himself. Who did they think they were? But maybe we shouldn’t be surprised. After all, Yahushua told all us that if we don’t believe “Moses’s Writings,” how could we believe His Words? “Korach: A Rebellion that was the First of Too Many https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/WT-CooH-6-20-26-Korach-If-we-cant-even-RECOGNIZE-Moses-how-can-we-hope-to-spot-a-FAKE-podcast-xxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

Host Mark Call takes a look back at some of the major news stories of the week ending 20 June, 2026… …including at least one that should be one of the biggest of the last few years. Even if it won’t be spun that way. And it isn’t “peace in our time,” either.

Mark and David discuss a LOT of news of importance this week, from ‘Tulsi reveals Treason,’ to the MOU, and UK Evil, to Pride for it, to Fusion, even if it might be for the wrong reason.

We are coming very close now to the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and what is often called the ‘birth of our nation.” We’ve already seen spectacles like UFC fights and World Cup soccer events — and will no doubt see more jets and fireworks — but those are pale substitutes, and even smokescreens, for the Real Questions: Does that nation even still exist? And – especially if NOT, which seems to be the more supportable answer – do we know WHY?

This teaching series is based on the tradition of “Shabbat Shuva,” or the “Shabbat of Return,” which falls between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur (the Day of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement). The text for this tradition is Hoshea (Hosea) chapter 14, which begins, “O Yisra'el, return to Yahweh your Elohim…” After having gone through the Spring Feasts – Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Shavuot, which are types and shadows of the Hebrews' exodus from Egypt and journey to Mt. Sinai, have you maintained a faithful, straight walk in Torah? Or have you gotten “off the path” a little or a lot? Do you sense a call to return to the path, to Yahweh? • What is meant by “crookedness”? What does crookedness cause you to do? • Regarding the call to return – return to what? From there, Rabbi Berkson takes us into Leviticus 26 to examine the reasons for returning to the Covenant. In Leviticus chapter 26, the blessings and curses associated with Yahweh's Covenant with His people are listed. • How will you be able to walk in Covenant with the Creator? From Leviticus, we go to Deuteronomy 4:25, where we see that Yahweh has an issue with His people and their idol worship. How can we relate to them today regarding ‘idol worship'? Rabbi Berkson then takes us to Deuteronomy chapter 30 to show us one of Moses' final exhortations to the people as they are about to cross over into the Promised Land. Interestingly, Yahweh, through Moses, told the people that in their future they would stray from the path they were supposed to walk and be taken from the Land by their enemies, but as they were living in a foreign land, their hearts would turn back to Yahweh, and they would return once again to possess and live in their Promised Land. • In this chapter, we see the phrase, “circumcise your heart” – what does that mean? Isn’t that just a “New Testament” concept? What is it doing left of Matthew? And then we are taken to Romans chapter 10, where Rabbi Berkson points out that the apostle Paul is clearly writing about Torah observance and, indeed, substitutes the word ‘Messiah' for the word ‘Torah' as he quotes Moses in Deuteronomy chapter 30. • What does Romans 10:4 really mean? • What is “the righteousness of belief”? • What is “the good news of the good”? • Was there “Good News” before the New Testament? Verse-by-verse and step-by-step, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us on a journey of discovery and learning how to covenant with our Creator and Father, which, from time to time, requires us to turn around and return to His Word so that we can have a sure entrance into His Kingdom.

Parsha ‘Beha-alotecha’ ends with what Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship has often described as “the Whining.” Which is followed by ‘the Lusting.’ And a lot of people who end up dead as a result. And that leads directly into parsha “Shalach Lekha,” where the words mean “send out men.” It is the story of the infamous “spies” — including Joshua and Caleb — and is also what Mark calls the “first recorded VOTE in history.” And Joshua and Caleb LOST it, 10-2. But, much like ‘votes’ today, the only people that REALLY lost were those who participated. Their “bodies fell in the wilderness,” ultimately, as they were promised. The Erev Shabbat reading of the entire ‘parsha-plus’ clarifies that connection: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/SSM-6-12-26-Beha-alotecha-through-Shalach-Lekha-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 Did EVERY single man over the age of 20 die in the wilderness because they went along with the “evil report” of those ten spies? Scripture makes it clear that they did. But, other than Joshua and Caleb, weren’t there ANY men above ‘voting age’ that simply didn’t participate with that infamous ‘first vote’? Would God really do that? But it turns out the pattern, and the progression, are clear. First they “murmured,” but perhaps “whined” really is what it would probably be termed today. Then they lusted, and got quail. A LOT of it. And probably wished they hadn’t. But Scripture told us the complaining, and worse, was widespread – but did not use the word “all.” Even if it may have been the vast majority. UNTIL that ‘first recorded vote.’ After which, it says clearly, and repeatedly, “ALL” of ’em. And Joshua and Caleb admonished ALL of ’em, too. And then ALL of them tried to kill them both. After which “ALL” of them got what they deserved. Or had earned. But it may not have been the very first time after all. “Numbers 10 through Shalach-Lekha: “Sodom VOTED to Die! How long will ‘they’ Despise YHVH”? https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/WT-CooH-6-13-26-Beha-alotecha-through-Shalach-Lekha-How-Long-will-you-DESPISE-Me-My-Word-podcast-xxxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

Host Mark Call takes a look back at some of the major news stories of the week ending 13 June, 2026. Last week, the question was, “Just how much MORE are Americans going to put up with?” But this week we saw what may have been one of the ‘final straws’ – at least until it is violently suppressed! – in Ireland, where yet another violent attack by Islamic invaders seems to have finally pushed too many people too far. While in the US, the Biggest of the Big Liars just keep doubling down. But it’s impossible to ‘un-see’.

David Justice and Mark Call discuss the news of the week, where it seems that the promise of things hidden being revealed is not only well underway, but so is the long-awaited reaction. But it had better be done right.

THIS PERSECUTION MUST COME FIRST!!!!!!!!!! BEFORE THE FULFILLMENT OF THE PROPHECIES THERE MUST BE A PERSECUTION. https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/persecution1.mp3

So much has happened in just the last few weeks that most Americans probably never believed even COULD happen. Blatant election fraud, long denied, has become so flatulent that even the far left is embarrassed by the stench of LA. When they’re not paid to lie. And two examples of what happens to a dumbed-down, demoralized, and disarmed society when invaders rape, then kill, and finally humiliate them, have – MAYBE – even awakened no-longer-great Britain to how they have been defeated. So, Mark Call asks some questions. Even if it may already be too late for most of those who “reject knowledge,” and are now suffering for it. Not, “what will you do IF,” but what will you do WHEN? James Madison: “It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of citizens and one of the noblest characteristics of the late Revolution. The freemen of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle. We revere this lesson too much … to forget it.” But AmeriKa did. Before any of us were even born. JFK: “When peaceful revolution is made impossible, violent revolution becomes inevitable.”

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 continues with the second “Great Command” to love your neighbor or each other. He picks up where we left off in James (Ya'akov) chapter 4, then moves into chapter 5, and finally takes us to 1 John chapter 1. • How do your likes or dislikes affect your relationships with others? What does Rabbi mean by saying we have to “learn each other”? • What does “friendship with the world” mean? • What does “subject yourselves to Elohim” mean? • What does “resist the devil” mean? • How do you draw near to Elohim? How does Elohim draw near to you? • When pursuing Torah, whose feelings are you most concerned about protecting – your friends and family or Elohim? • How would you define ‘sin'? • Do you really understand what the first two verses of 1 John are talking about? 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.

In this week's podcast of Heaven Shaking the Persian Bear, we'll take a look at another Bear king of the East who was drawn into the river as a pattern for the future triumph of the virtuous woman and Messiah Yeshua in Revelation. Hint: the Bear gets torched.

A few weeks back, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa made the decision to spend a bit more time on the last few weeks of regular readings, which included a “double-portion,” separately. Hopefully you saw why that was important. So, this week, we’ll continue to catch up, with a bit more than parsha ‘Naso,’ (Numbers 4:22 through chapter 7) and continue through a section in chapter 10 that seems to fit well. The reading for parsha Naso begins with the remainder of the duties of the tribe of Gershon, and then summarizes the ‘census’ of the Levites, after which the narrative changes, and we again see that those who were “unclean” – for several reasons – were to be “put out,” or “shalach” in the Hebrew, a word we’ve seen before – of the camp. And that is followed up by descriptions of two other ‘processes,’ described in detail, which seem utterly foreign to most of ‘the sun-day church’ today. https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/SSM-6-5-26-Naso-plus-thru-ch-10-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 The Sabbath Day midrash this week begins with a question: What is it about those two, apparently very different, situations, and thus processes, the connects them? And why do they follow immediately after the commandment to “shalach” or put out of the camp, the “unclean?” The process outlined for the “sota” – or the woman whose husband suspects adultery, but has no proof – is said to be the ONLY one of its kind in Scripture, where YHVH actually PROMISES a miracle, one way or another. It’s also misunderstood and mis-taught (witness most of the twisting you’ve probably heard about ‘Jesus and the Woman CAUGHT in adultery’) and yet still at the very heart of so many of the most important events in all of human history! Why does the ‘whore church’ then ignore the real lesson? And that is followed-up immediately by the process surrounding the ‘Nazerite vow.’ Samson was said to be one “from his mother’s womb,’ as perhaps John the Baptist may have been as well. But Shaul, aka “Paul of Tarsus” notably TOOK such a vow, after he came to know Yahushua, notably, and yet most of xtianity has NEVER heard that! For reasons that Mark says, as the discussion unfolds, are obvious now. “Naso-plus: “Put out” the Unclean – but then Other Ignored Commandments That Speak VOLUMES about what we have been MIS-taught” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/WT-CooH-6-6-26-Naso-plus-thru-ch-10-Shalach-the-unclean-the-Sota-the-Nazerite-and-HOW-MUCH-MORE-so-Es-QQQ-podcast-xxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

After a rough start, and no shortage of system issues, Mark and David finally discuss a week of news where “hard to believe,” and worse, doesn’t even start to tell the story.

Host Mark Call takes a look back at some of the major news stories of the week ending 6 June, 2026. And again, the major question seems to be, “Just how much MORE are Americans going to put up with?” But it’s not just in the US, but much of the rest of the world – especially EU and the UK – where people should learn to say “NO!” to tyranny. But if the continued fraud that is Too Big To Hide doesn’t make the case, don’t hold your breath for the Terminally Dumbed Down to wake up.

By now the ‘WHY’ we are warned to ‘come out of,’ is crystal clear. And getting more so by the day. Even the WHAT is hard to miss. But it takes continue effort to hang on to that progress. Because the Rulers of the Darkness of this world are still working hard to suck all of us right back in. And the un-informed are helping. “One Step Forward, Two Steps Back”
