People typically don't engage in normal conversation about ‘evil', though they may have a brief discussion when they see something in a news headline or in a movie or TV show that they perceive as evil. But do you know how much ‘evil' is written about in your Bible? Do you know the true, scriptural definition of ‘evil'? How does this knowledge affect your walk of faith? Rabbi Steve Berkson is among the few who take on the challenge of teaching from Scripture about the topic of ‘evil'. You will be amazed and often surprised as Rabbi Berkson dissects the verses from the Bible, one by one if necessary, to teach what he has discovered and how these discoveries will definitely impact your life – both physically and spiritually. Rabbi Berkson starts at the beginning, in the book of Genesis, as he has in other teachings, to provide a comprehensive understanding of this topic. 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

The regular annual-cycle Torah parsha reading this week isn’t really ‘regular.’ We’re heading into the Fall Feasts (moedim) of YHVH, so the special readings that go with the Holy Days are on the menu, and only the last few chapters in Deuteronomy remain, before the cycle begins anew with “Bereshiet” – the first part of Genesis. Which is why Mark Call, of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship, has decided to digress a bit, for reasons he explains. The major ‘Jewish calendar’ (aka, ‘Hillel,’ or Diaspora, etc) lists this Sabbath, the 12th of September Roman, as “Rosh Hoshana,” the ‘head of the year.’ But Scripture consistently refers to it as Yom Teruah, the Day of Shouting, or the Shofar, and it marks the literal countdown for all the rest of the Fall Feasts. And that date – interesting – can vary quite a bit, if you compare calendar understandings. Which really means the readings, and midrash, for this week are going to be unique. Some – be forewarned – will also see them as perhaps controversial, largely because current events, and what is too often ignored by BOTH ‘whoring houses,’ is at odds with Official Dogma. The reason why will be made clear. The Erev Shabbat reading comes from both Genesis and the story of Yitzak [Isaac] — and a bit of the second “Song of Moses from Deuteronomy 32, and introductory commentary: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/SSM-9-11-26-Dealers-Choice-Yitzak-Gen-22-Not-yet-Yom-Teruah-or-Rosh-Hoshanna-teaching-podcast-x.mp3 The Sabbath Day Midrash begins with the connection between “where we are today,” and “how we got here,” to those things that Mark suggests most people listening probably NEVER heard in a ‘mainstream’ church or synagogue. Because both of them are still in the exile they were promised: “From Ha’azinu to Aholah and Aholibah: the Oldest Sin Remains” (some Bible translations spell their names beginning with an “O”) https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/WT-CooH-9-12-26-Dealers-Choice-Song-2-Not-yet-Yom-Teruah-or-Rosh-Hoshanna-Aholah-Aholabah-and-the-Oldest-Sin-podcast-xxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

Among other notable things, this week was a major anniversary of more than one false flag, and execution, reminding those who still love the Truth – that we have yet to see it. Join host Mark Call for a deeper look at those, and other events – and what that tells us now, as of Friday, 11 September, 25 years later.

This is the 25th Anniversary of an event that most people who were alive will never forget. Nor, arguably, will they ever hear the truth about it. Most won’t even ask the right questions. ‘ Join David Justice and Mark Call for a discussion that CNN-ABC-CBS-NBC-PBS, or certainly the BBC would never allow. But if “things hidden” are — as our Messiah promised — eventually to be revealed, does that mean even those who have “no love of the Truth,” and thus under the Delusion, will ever figure it out? There’s a message here.

Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity …is NOT in the Bible. So it never was an excuse for a whole society, either.

Parsha “Nitzavim” (Deuteronomy 29:8 through chapter 30) — contains what Mark calls the most concise ‘two-word summary’ of His Word in the Torah, “Choose Life!” But there is SO much more in this one. And, it’s a ‘double-parsha’ this week, which includes chapter 31, “Vayelekh.” It’s one of the most important, ok fundamental, er central – all of that, but perhaps the best word is ‘concise,’ paraschot in Scripture. And it combines some of the most important ‘debunking’ of Big Lies, and even the first description of one of the most important prophecies, too. Mark Call, of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship, covers all of it in the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/SSM-9-4-26-Nitzavim-Vayelekh-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 The concept of “choose life!” is so vital to our understanding of His Instruction [or ‘torah’] that it goes way beyond just a summary, or even a ‘razor’ to “rightly divide the word.” But there is more to that in this parsha: it goes to the heart of Who the Messiah IS, and what He is NOT (a liar, who changed his word, when He said the opposite)… …it gives us the first prophetic promise of the “Greater Exodus” or regathering… …and it succinctly debunks one of the other Biggest Lies in ‘sun-god-day skool’ — that “only jesus could possibly keep ‘The LAW’ – ’cause it’s just plain too hard for the likes of you and me.'” Yahushua, the Real Messiah, said that the path that leads to Life is, “narrow, and FEW there be that find it.” [Matthew 7:13-14] Which should concern those who bought into the big lie that He somehow “did away with” what He Wrote for us, and came in the flesh to teach – correctly. The test is ‘open-Book.’ And it’s straight-forward. But we had better read what it really says. “Nitzavim-Vayelekh: Choose wisely – ‘Choose Life!’ ” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/WT-CooH-9-5-26-Nitzavim-Vayelekh-We-STILL-HAVE-the-CHOICE-podcast-xxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

In spite of the worst efforts of the likes of MicroShaft, and “operating systems” and user-antagonistic ‘tools’ that seem to have as many bugs as they do backdoors – there WAS a Drive Time Friday Show this week. And there was a lot to talk about as well. Which, somehow, all fits together, too.

Love and Torah – what's the connection? This study series delves into the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. In the final episode, Rabbi Steve Berkson explores the 17th chapter of the Gospel according to John. Here, we witness Messiah Yeshua praying to His Father for those He chose and discipled to carry on His mission. Rabbi Berkson then shifts to Deuteronomy chapter 30. He reveals that Elohim's plan was to exile His people to other nations due to their disobedience. However, He assured them that they would be regathered and recommit to the commandments, including loving their Elohim. In Matthew 24, we observe how a lawless generation gradually loses its love for Torah. Be wary of false prophets who claim that Torah is obsolete or that adhering to it will lead to a lawless life. Such individuals may mistakenly believe they have a relationship with Messiah and the Father but ultimately fall short. Rabbi Berkson concludes the series by referencing Romans 8:28, which emphasizes the connection between love and Torah-keeping. The verse states, “All things work together for the good…” Rabbi Berkson meticulously dissects these passages, providing you with a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you. By comprehending these expectations, you can fulfill them and reap the blessings that follow. 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

There are a number of important elements in parsha “Ki Tavo” (Deuteronomy 26:1 – 29:8) — but it’s probably known for being the most daunting collection of curses in the Bible. And — again — that puts it, arguably, at the heart of the destruction of Western Civilization. Is that deserved? Mark Call, of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship, begins to lay out the issue in the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/SSM-8-28-26-Ki-Tavo-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 The words ‘ki tavo,’ are translated from the Hebrew as “when you have come” – into the land. And those curses certainly apply there. And one of the specific consequences is ‘shalach’ – or being “sent out.” Exiled. And that has happened – to BOTH kingdoms. And it REMAINS the case to this day. So – do the curses still apply? Or not? And don’t miss the irony in the fact that some who say, “of COURSE not” – because “the law is done away with” – probably should be paying more attention. NOTE: ‘Curses’ are another one of those topic that tends to upset people. Particularly when they hit close to home, and Mark again pulls no punches. Neither does Scripture, of course. “Ki Tavo: Most Curses in the Whole Bible – Does it MATTER?” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/WT-CooH-8-28-26-Ki-Tavo-Curses-Public-private-and-by-acquiescence-podcast-xxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

Mark Call takes a look back at some of the major news stories, and scams, of the week ending 29 August, 2026. And there are more than a few lessons in there this week, if we’re paying attention…

This show has examined the questions of “WHY?” to ‘come out of her,’ for years, and “HOW?” for almost as long. The urgency of understanding both has certainly be demonstrated of late, and for quite some time before that by those with ‘eyes to see.’ And the list of REASONS has simply gotten longer. But that has just made certain elements of the WHAT ever more clear. Like the Mark of the Beast, just for one of the Easy Ones. This week, Mark tackles a tougher issue. One that might even seem depressing, if we didn’t already know Who we serve, and His promises that follow. “The Republic of the USA is long dead. Get OVER Getting Over It…”

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. Picking up where we left off in the Gospel of John, chapter 15, Rabbi Steve Berkson picks up in verse 16, where he explains that Yeshua has chosen us to be part of His work here on earth. Even though He was speaking directly to His disciples, giving them instruction before He was about to be killed, His words can apply to us today if we allow ourselves to be discipled through His Holy Spirit and produce the fruit He expects to see. All that Rabbi Berkson has unpacked from John 15 is about love for one another in the way the Father expects us to love. We are called and chosen so that we are no longer part of the world and its ways. As we pull away from the world to follow Messiah and live according to Torah, we will experience disdain from others who do not understand Messiah or why we choose to follow Him. Rabbi Berkson once again dissects 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

  The Time Traveler’s Quick Guide to Armageddon Part Four     And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” (Re 19:11-16) Our lesson on the battle of Armageddon, or Har Megiddo, will be deep this week, so deep that I cannot edit a simpler or quick version so please join us on this podcast  so we can unpack this herd of white horses with their riders as well as their commander.

The Torah parsha known by the name “Ki Tetze” (Deuteronomy 21:10 through chapter 25) is – says Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship – arguably THE most NOT-PC portion in the entire Bible. And that fact alone makes it of vital interest – especially since the reason WHY is at the heart of the destruction of all Western Civilization. If ‘The Adversary,’ who “comes but to steal, kill, and destroy,” wanted to that – and he does – this is where it seems he started. The Erev Shabbat reading pretty well lays it out. And just about every line of it makes the point: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/SSM-8-29-26-Ki-Tetzi-teaching-podcast-xxxx.mp3 The fact that every element of this part of the Word of YHVH is so utterly forbidden – even to talk about honestly, in many cases, but certainly to study for WHAT IT IS, is absolutely telling. To destroy society, clearly, start with the family. Marriage, and especially fatherhood, the concept of a righteous husband, and certainly, the dreaded ‘patriarchy.’ Then replace His Word, by “adding and subtracting” with perversion. And certainly, destroy anything left of His blessing of a productive economy with “inflation,” i.e., dishonest weights and measures: the debt-based “abomination” (His term!) of a fiat global reserve currency. The details are all here. They are – and have been – ignored not just to our detriment, but destruction. And it’s STILL ‘verbotten’ to even talk about. NOTE: For the obvious reasons, be warned. Mark pulls no punches when it matters most. This will, and should, upset even those who aren’t shocked by just how Big the Lie has been. “Ki Tetze: Why ‘hasatan’ and his minions – including the Whore Church – absolutely HATE this Instruction!” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/WT-CooH-8-21-26-Ki-Tetzi-Why-BOTH-HaSatan-AND-his-whore-Church-HATE-this-parsha-podcast-xxxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

Host Mark Call’s look back at some of the major news of the week, for 22 August, 2026, has a bit different “flavor” this week, because, he suggests, it’s not the individual stories that matter so much at this point – after all, we not only know they’re LYING, on just about every single front – but also that Big Brother really wants you dead. And as that becomes more and more undeniable, and imminent – it changes how we need to “view the world.” And our own places in it.

Mark Call and David Justice discuss some of the major news of the week, where – in pretty much any direction you turn – there are Big Lies being outed. But – is it already too late? Arguably – and they discuss that – for a political solution, anyway.

It’s not a ‘black pill’ to be realistic, and see what is coming. But it gives a vital perspective. “No EARTHLY Hope…”

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 1 John, Rabbi Steve Berkson begins this teaching in chapter 5, where John tells us that belief in Messiah Yeshua and all that comes with it does not come from us, but that belief, knowledge, and relationship have been birthed in us from above. In verses 2 and 3, Rabbi Berkson points out that, again, love is connected to Torah Observance and that the commandments of Yahweh are not heavy or burdensome. In verse 4, John calls us who believe overcomers. Born of Elohim and given the ability to have a relationship with Messiah Yeshua, we overcome the world through that belief. Rabbi Berkson clarifies what overcoming the world looks like – we see things and respond to challenges in our lives differently than the world does. Moving on, Rabbi Berkson takes us to the Gospel of John, the same writer, a different book, to link what we learned from 1 John with what is conveyed in the gospel writing. Yeshua speaks metaphorically of our relationship with Him and the Father, using vines, branches, and a gardener who cares for the whole thing. Rabbi Berkson once again dissects 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

Host Mark Call introduces the theme this week with a bit of musing: Have you noticed that there is a tendency for the propagandists – the politicians – ‘the world’ – to ‘pooh-pooh’ the things that might sound “supernatural,” or even “Biblical,” and reduce them, by stages, to something that doesn’t even admit to a real Creator? Even things that Scripture warns against, that might even be called “UN-natural” are being ‘paganized down’ to the point at which propagandists, and politicians, and pitiable preachers, claim that they’re OK, if you ignore a Biblical worldview. While what was clearly described in prophecy, and might otherwise be thought “supernatural,” is also explained away, to the point where any input from a Creator can be discounted. Meanwhile – men work hard to build a Better God, that they can’t even seem to keep in their box. Does there come a time when some can’t help but recognize a line has been crossed? “When the Jig Is UP…”

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 Time Traveler’s Quick Guide to Armageddon       Over the last several months, we have done some deep dives into the principalities and powers in high places, the beast kingdoms, and then more particularly, into the kings of the east, another category that intersects with the beast kingdoms, including the Persian bear.   In term of their proto-prophecies in the Torah, we’ve been all over the place because prophecy is cyclical, even though not identical, from generation to generation. When we read of events in the Psalms, Writings, Prophets, and New Testament, the writers expect us to already be familiar with those proto-prophecies.   It was important to establish the earmarks of the battles with the kings of the east in Torah because Adonai declares the end from the beginning. If we want to have the basic understanding of the sixth and seventh bowls of wrath in the end and how they lure in the nations to Armageddon (Har-Megiddo), then we familiarize ourselves with them at the beginning:   “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. (“Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, so that he will not walk about naked and men will not see his shame.”)   And they gathered them together to the place which in Hebrew is called Har-Magedon.   Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, “It is done.” And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty.” (Re 16:12-18)   Har is “mountain,” and Megiddo is “a place of crowds,” so important in its military situation that it has been destroyed and built over numerous times. It overlooks the Jezreel Valley's flat, agriculturally fertile abundance as well as the road to the Western Sea, or Mediterranean, an excellent place to monitor the coastal trade route that connected continents from ancient times. John prophesies of a final crowd that will be drawn to this ancient hill in the ol’ breadbasket of Israel.   Rather than review some of the many points from our Heaven Shaking the Bear series, I will use them to augment some additional points in this newsletter. You can always go back and access the transcripts (thank you, volunteers!) or videos for little details, such as why even Canaanite kings are considered kings of the east. I'd rather add some new information for your handy time travel guide to Armageddon. We'll be half Marty McFly and half Indiana Jones on our hunt for clues to Armageddon.   Let's take a seat in our time machine, the Word, and travel back to our familiar story in Judges 4-5, the story of Deborah, Barak, and Sisera with his 900 iron chariots. A little clue is in Sisera's 900 chariots. It links the ancient with the future. Nine hundred years (plus some) is the typical age of the pre-flood notables from Adam to Noah. In human history, they are the ancients. It was an era marked by the rebellion of the “sons of Elohim” who provoked human beings to such a violence.   Sisera's chariots were iron, denoting the Roman beast kingdom that is mingled with clay in the feet of his image. In other words, something of Deborah's story will establish a template for understanding the final defeat of the Red One, who appears in Revelation as the chosen steed for the Great Harlot Babylon. The nine-hundred-year era of the days of Noah and its violence will link to the end time of Armageddon.   Every time I see the word “Babylonian,” my mind says, “babaloney.” Don't know why. But ick.   Okay, now let's power up the time machine. We need to visit Abraham's time during the battle for Sodom among the kings of the east, the Covenant Between the Pieces, and then visit Moses in the wilderness.   Ready? Push the Abraham button. It might say, Avram, but you'll recognize it. Here we go.   Wait, wait. First, tape a copy of Judges 4-5 and a map of Israel on your steering wheel. We'll need to compare what we see with the first battle of Armageddon that Deborah fought against Sisera to our past future locations.   Okay, here we come, Abrahamic period. We are landing among the four kings of the east, led by Amraphel (perhaps Nimrod), who marched through and defeated territories east of the Jordan. The five kings of the Sodom coalition have quit paying their taxes, so the four kings are on their way to collect plus interest.   Even though those cities of Sodom are situated mostly to the east of the Salt Sea, after the four kings first march and defeat cities east of the Jordan and in the highlands of Bashan, they are continuing as far as the Negev near Kadesh, En-Mishpat, and Hazazon-Tamar. By bypassing the Sodom coalition cities, the four kings are giving the five kings time to muster before the four kings turn back east and meet them near the Salt Sea in battle. Do you see this? Inexplicably, Sodom's five kings are falling into tar pits! Shouldn't they know about those tar pits? After all, this is their territory! How strange!   And there goes Lot and his family as captives. And there…someone escapes and runs to tell Abraham. Okay, we don't have to follow them up to Damascus. We know how this ends. Check your Judges 4-5 Scriptures and map. They're taped to your steering wheel, remember?   Something similar happened to Sisera's iron chariot. Like Pharaoh drove his chariots into the Reed Sea and there his chariot wheels became “confused,” so Sisera drove his chariots into the mud of the Kishon, which he should have known about because he was a Canaanite.   Although Pharaoh was not a “king of the east,” he is the dragon, and his authority was passed to them. This suggests that our soggy bottom boys are experiencing a Divine intervention, not just a human battle. Something flies in their brains, stings them, and causes confusion…perhaps the tzirah, the supernatural hornet of Moses and Joshua?   The tzirah went before the armies of Israel, and it helped Moses conquer on the east side of the Jordan and Joshua on the west side of the Jordan. It first causes confusion, and then it cuts off root and fruit. It is the supernatural bug described as being released from the King of Abaddon in Revelation.   Not so coincidentally, Deborah's name means “bee” in Hebrew, and “hornet” in Aramaic. The root of her name is “word,” as in Devarim, the fifth book of the Torah and perhaps the most apocalyptic since it is the little scroll of Torah. There was a reason Barak would not take his soldiers into battle without her; she represented the Divine power of the Word going before them!   How does Deborah know to tell Barak that he needs exactly 10,000 soldiers mustered from a place named “Kedesh”?   Deborah judged Israel under the “palm tree of Deborah.” A palm tree is a tamar:   “She used to sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the sons of Israel came up to her for judgment (mishpat ????????????).”   Can you see Deborah studying the scrolls of Torah? Those scrolls are rolling her right into the time of Avraham, and she sees the conquests of Moses and Joshua in the wilderness, such as Amalek. She recognizes the conquests of the four kings as having the same names that are in the hill country of Ephraim near Har-Megiddo: From Kadesh to Kedesh. From Hazazon-Tamar to the tamar providing her shade to read the scroll. From En-Mishpat to her job rendering mishpat for Israel.   We know Deborah has spent time scroll-rolling back to Abraham's time because she mentions something specific in her Judges Five song. The Song of Deborah mentions the courage of the tribe of Ephraim in the defeat of Sisera's chariots:   “From Ephraim, those whose root is in Amalek came down…”   If you need to, program in “Amalek in the Wilderness,” and travel there to see a bit of the battle. This “root in Amalek” is thought to refer to the wilderness battle under Moses in which the Ephraimite Joshua defeated Amalek. The tribe of Ephraim is rooted in its leadership in the victory in the wilderness in Israel's first encounter with Amalek.   Deborah knows Amalek is enticed to attack when its opponent looks weak, so that gives her a Divine strategy in enticing this king of the east Sisera to his Armageddon. Okay, now travel back to the battle between the four kings and the five kings. The four kings of the east also conquered Amalek before turning back to battle the five kings of Sodom.   While the battle continues, let's return to this question (you already know how that battle ends): How does Deborah know to tell Barak that he needs exactly 10,000 soldiers mustered from a place named “Kedesh”?   We've only partially answered it. And our answer is based on the battle between bad kings of the east vs worse kings of the east. We don't want to take this as the only source of Deborah's inspired strategy to lure Sisera to Har-Megiddo. Deborah is scrolling through the rolls of the Torah, and she must have some even better prophecies on which she bases her battle with Sisera. Let's leave these guys for Avraham to deal with and travel forward and back to Deborah's palm tree for more clues.   Yes, time travelers. Next week we'll go back to the future with Deborah and spend some more time with Avraham and Moses. There must be a connection between Deborah's forty years of peace in Israel and Moses' forty years in the wilderness. Deborah has the handy traveler's guide to help her map it all out. We'll see her secret of selecting 10,000, and we might even take a peek inside Yael's tent to find that she knew the Torah, and it guided her hand when she drove the tent peg into Sisera's head.   Oh, dear, oh dread. Sandals muddy like heavy lead. Some yogurt he was fed. Then he went to bed. Now Sisera is dead. A tent peg's in his head.   Okay, Deborah is better at composing songs than I am. I gave it a shot. Roll your time travel machines to Judges 4-5, and we'll see you next week.   Please SUBSCRIBE to our newsletter to get new teachings.

Parsha ‘Ekev’ (Deuteronomy 7:12-11:25) not only continues Moses’ ‘Farewell Address’ but some of the themes which permeate the Torah of YHVH: the repeated admonition to “hear and obey,” and KEEP His “commandments, judgments, and statutes,” and how that is inseparable from “love Him,” with all our “heart and soul.” But the other element that is just as vital, but far more overlooked, is the prohibition against “idolatry.” Trouble is, most of the ‘whore church’ no longer has a clue what that means. Not that He isn’t clear. The Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/SSM-7-31-26-Ekev-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 This Torah portion is arguably a “one-two punch” to the understanding of why YHVH forbids idolatry in ANY form, but there are some additional specifics here that SHOULD really “hit home” — especially now. Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship investigates some of those elements, in the current context. And they should be uncomfortable. Because it not only underlines the distinction between the Real Messiah, and ‘another jesus,’ it also deals with other imposters – from Big Brothers Servants of Satan, to the AI god(s) currently “under construction.” But perhaps already out of the box. “Ekev: What it means to ‘Love Him’ – and why the WC definition of Idolatry is FAR TOO Narrow!” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/WT-CooH-8-1-26-Ekev-Idolatry-TOO-NARROW-the-definition-podcast-xxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

The ‘news’ this week seems to have – at least in host Mark Call’s understanding – crossed a threshold. It’s been a long time coming. For all of our lives, just about every important major event has been, in one way or another, a lie. From the JFK assassination, to Waco, the OKC bombing, 911, and the COVID plandemic. Thirty years ago this month, hundreds of eyewitnesses on Long Island saw TWA flight 800 shot out of the sky, and the official response was not only a unbelievable, but a CIA cartoon that demonstrated the laws of physics and aerodynamics are subject to distortion when there is an agenda to push. Even George Floyd was a lie, just like the Charlie Kirk shooter patsy. Even the biggest landslide in history only stemmed the tide briefly. And, still, “Their Lips Have NEVER STOPPED Moving!” Why? And, most importantly, what does that tell us?

Even technical issues seem to have become a “sign of the times.” But today, and based on events THIS week, but following the trend, host Mark Call asks the question, “can you name a SINGLE major story during any of our lifetimes that has NOT been infested with the Big Lie?” It’s not a reason to despair – but it IS a reason to wake up to the Real Truth.
