On today's show, episode 179, I'm speaking with David L. Jones, who grew up under the umbrella of the Southern Baptist Church in North Carolina, USA. I had a wonderful conversation with David about his spiritual journey, from his vocation as Pastor of an Independent Sunday-keeping Baptist Church to pastoring a Seventh-day Sabbath-keeping fellowship located in a high concentration area of the North Carolina Bible Belt. The area has a strong presence of Protestant evangelical and fundamentalist Christians who collectively maintain a strong influence on religious beliefs based on social and political life. I'll be speaking with David about his spiritual journey, leading both he and his wife into pursuing a lifestyle according to the Laws of the Mosaic Torah, especially that of observing the Seventh-Day Sabbath and keeping biblical festivals in harmony with the teachings of the Dead Sea Scrolls Zadokite Ecclesiastical Calendar and faithfully adhering to the Torah's clean and unclean food laws. David and the Baptist Church he was pastoring stopped putting up Christmas Trees and partaking in whole-hog barbecues, the eating of pork shoulders, bacon, and a unique blend of seafoods such as oysters, clams, and shrimp. With all these changes, we'll learn how they affected not only his immediate family but also how the biblical Torah amazingly touched and changed the lives of the congregation he was pastoring as an Independent North Carolina Baptist Church. Further, we'll also learn about the Jones Family singers and their love for music in the genres of Southern Gospel and Bluegrass. Please, join me now for my interview with David L. Jones.

Join the Torah Teachers, Ray Harrison, Pete Rambo, and Mark Call as they continue the study of the 'most twisted Book in the Bible,' the apostle Paul's letter to the Galatians. There is no doubt that much of what he wrote about, even warned about, has literally been "turned on its head." And this week, they explore what may be the most twisted CHAPTERS in the Book as well, 3 and 4. All three of them recommend Avi ben Mordechai's excellent book, "Galatians: Torah-Basd Commentary in First Century Hebraic Context." Pete Rambo also referenced a video that he did a while back related to the topic, "Who Are the Modern Pharisees," https://youtu.be/CsfeBfhxW5s

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? The reason we exist is to become more like our big brother, Messiah Yeshua. Living our lives according to the two great commandments, love your Elohim and love each other. Continuing in 1 John chapter 3, Rabbi Berkson begins in verse 11 and provides the example of Cain, who was unable to control his own emotions, which ultimately led to the murder of his own brother, Abel. We who are “in Covenant” are expected to treat our fellows also in Covenant with much humility and love, with self-control which is a fruit of the Spirit. Those who do not love their brother do not have everlasting life in them. Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in this passage so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.

Things are playing out according to the pattern of Daniels Little Horn as pictured in the conquest of Alexander the Great as posited in our video of 3+ months ago!  Trump just majorly bombed Iran!  You can watch that video on our website. The past several weeks or maybe even last couple of months we've been led to an in depth study of the book of Daniel, especially chapters 9 – 12.  I truly believe that perhaps the book of Daniel is starting to be opened in our days.  When Daniel is trying to understand the message he's been given in Chapter 12 he is told in verse 9, "Go [your way], Daniel, for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end.  I believe we are very near, if not in, ‘the time of the end' and according to verse 9 the ultimate message that was specifically for the time of the end has been sealed up or not able to be understood until… perhaps, now.  So any previous messages, teachings or understanding of the message given to Daniel specifically for the time of the end are likely wrong or at the very least incomplete.  In today's message which is only part 1 of the entire message (fervently trying to finish part 2 as we speak) we want to share something interesting that we noticed about Daniel 9.  Everyone always tries to lump verses 24-27 all together as if all four verses are talking about the same exact period of time just because they are all based upon 70 even though as you will see they are all separated from each other for some reason. Verse 24 specifies a time period of 70 shaboim.  Actually in the Hebrew is says shaboim shaboim, for Daniel's people and their holy city to: Finish (the Hebrew word also means restrict or forbid) the transgression MAKE AN END OF SINS (so within this 70 shaboim there will be an end of sins, interesting) Make reconciliation for iniquity BRING IN EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS (here's another clue to what this 70 shoboim encompasses) CLOSE UP OR MAKE AN END OF VISION AND PROPHECY (and another clue) TO ANNOINT THE MOST HOLY (which in the Hebrew actually says meshiach qodesh qodeshim) So lets put on our critical thinking caps.  Is it really possible for all 6 of these points to be completely fulfilled BEFORE the END of the 7th millenium, BEFORE THE END OF THE millennial Kingdom?  Discover this and more in today's part 1.  In part 2 (coming soon) we will look at why we think Jerusalem may be a target very soon... perhaps sometime before mid July...

The Torah parsha reading for this week is "Shalach Lekha," (Numbers chapters 13 through 15) -- "send out men" --8:1-12:16), and it is the infamous story of 'the spies.' Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship begins with the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/SSM-6-20-25-Shalach-Lekha-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 And once again, and ESPECIALLY now, events in the world again set the stage for the midrash this week. Mark relates that he believes the title was given to him just this morning, in two suggestions: "Spies Who Lie," "and...Die." The 'twelve spies' who went into the land in Numbers chapter 13 brought back an 'evil report,' and literally all of the congregation of the children of Israel suffered for it. What they really did, says the witness of Scripture, was to "despise" Yahuah Himself. Today's spies have the ear of world leaders, including the President of the United States. At least 51 knowingly lied to the American people, participated in an attempted (and at least temporarily successful) coup, and arguably STILL despise the God of the Bible. And that is the part that remains so clearly evident today as well. The question remains the same , too: Who will we believe? Shalach Lekha: "Spies Who Lie...and Die," https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/WT-CooH-6-21-25-Shalach-Lekha-Spies-Who-Lie-and-DIE-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

No nuclear war mushroom clouds YET... but it certainly isn't for lack of trying. And just what are we supposed to believe, anyway? We heard that Iran was just "two weeks away" from having a nuke for about two decades now. And even the "intelligence community" can't keep the lies straight, it seems. But if Big Brother Deep State manages to finally get their WW3 to 'go nuclear,' does the actual Truth matter anyway? Mark Call suggests that it does, but not for the reasons we're being told. "Truth is the First Casualty of War... ...and Lies are the Primary Weapon of the Adversary"

I have chickens. They are not my chickens. They belong to the neighbor. He already had chickens in a chicken coop. Now he has ten more chickens. They are not in the chicken coop. They are in my yard. My flowers. Digging holes in the yard and around the foundation of the house. Pooping on the porch. Hanging out. I tried playing red-tail hawk sounds really loud. I tried taking watermelon rinds and veggie scraps over to their property, but they still lurk in the shady spots and follow me around every time I go outside to work. They just stick around. It took me a whole day to lay chicken wire under the flower bed mulch to keep them from destroying my carefully designed and freshly-planted flower beds. We let the neighbor know, but so far, we still have sticken' chickens. I even told them the story of when Billie Idol went missing, but while they enjoyed story time, they don't connect Billie's demise to their current situation. Chickens are like that. When I was four years old, my first pet was a chicken named Slicker. Grandma's cat Fuchsia ate it. I didn't connect a cat to Slicker's current situation. I was telling a good friend about our sticken' chickens yesterday, and we were chatting about the danger of Moses' forty days of absence on the mountain. The Israelites and mixed multitude pretty much gave up on his return. In spite of every miracle they'd seen, they couldn't wait forty full days for the next one. Not only that, they started breaking the Big Ten. An idol. Sexual immorality. You know the story. They'd been delivered from slavery in Egypt; they'd been immersed as a congregation in the Reed Sea; they'd witnessed the glory of Adonai and agreed to His covenant at the mountain…and yet, they had sticken' chickens from Egypt. They went right back to feeding slavery to sin. “For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea; and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea...” (1 Co 10:1-2) The tunnel of the Reed Sea was like a birth canal. Immersion has always been a symbol of a resurrection that is more than symbolic. On the Third Day of Creation was a birth of life from the water to fruit trees. On the dawn of the Seventh Day of Passover, the Israelites completed a supernaturally fast, effortless journey through the Reed Sea. Likewise, immersion (mikveh) is undertaken as a rebirth. The pattern is this: • Water represents spirit (as does fire) • The earth is the substance of mankind, adam • When YHVH turns the sea into dry land as a way of escape, that which was spirit became substance/flesh in order to provide a new beginning for Israel/mankind, a resurrection from the sin decay of mere earth to earthly life with the spirit, a promise of wholeness and perfections completed from above • New life follows a mikveh in Messiah, the Great Hand of YHVH. This is the mystical picture of the Reed Sea. When YHVH turned the sea into dry land, he figuratively resurrected the Israelites. When the natural body dies, it returns to the earth. In Messiah Yeshua, the bared arm of YHVH, mankind is resurrected from earth through water. “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with,

For those of us who would like to go deeper into understanding the words in our Bible, Rabbi Steve Berkson doesn't disappoint in this teaching. Continuing in 1 John chapter 3, Rabbi Berkson reviews verses 1-3 from the last teaching, but then thoroughly dissects verses 4-11, bringing an advanced teaching of the passage, right down to even single words.

The annual Torah cycle reading for this week is parsha "Beha'alotecha," (Numbers 8:1-12:16), and it is a true potpourri of events and issues, "from menorah to metzorah." Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship begins with the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/SSM-6-13-25-Beha-alotecha-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 As has been so often the case, but ESPECIALLY now, events in the world again set the stage for the midrash this week. Have you ever noticed that there is a difference in the words used in rendering "do not covet..." your neighbors' wife, house, and so on between the two repetitions of the "Ten Commandments?" The words used for 'covet," or "lust for," are different (the Hebrew root is ;chamad'the first time, but 'avah' in Deuteronomy 5:21.) And THAT word is used for those who died b'midbar - in the wilderness - as a result of their lusting for 'meat.' The connection, as Mark lays out, may well be that so many today are literally "lusting for death." And it is a 'temptation' that YHVH has given us all the information we need to avoid, along with a means to escape. Beha'alotecha: "From Menorah to Metzorah then - Lusting for DEATH now" https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/WT-CooH-14-June-2025-Beha-alotecha-From-Menorah-to-Meztorah-careful-what-you-LUST-for-esp-NOW-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

Please DO NOT ask questions here because I have no way to respond to your questions. If you have questions, please send an email: questions@cominghome.co.il On this episode, Number 178 and PART 4 of Real Israel Talk Radio, I will conclude this four-part series on WHEN A BIBLICAL DAY STARTS. In the first half of this show, I will address eleven (11) different Hebrew Bible passages that are careful to speak about when a biblical day begins based on a summary of Genesis 1:2-5. 1.   Shachar is the early pre-morning mix referred to as dawn or daybreak, but traditionally translated into English as "there was EVENING... the first day."  2.   Boker – the rising of the sun disc and light of the morning 3.   Erev – the late afternoon descent toward evening, leading to the setting of the sun 4.   Lilah – the dark of the night In the second half of this show, I will tie my conclusions together with the gospel narratives, expressing the chronology of Yeshua's third-day resurrection.  Traditional Catholic and Christian interpretations of this narrative present the story as though Mary and the other women came to the tomb early on Sunday morning, which Roman chronology identifies as the first day of the week. However, this is not what the narrative is expressing. Join me today for this final episode in this series of studies. -Avinoam

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at the second reading from the Book of Bemidbar, or Numbers, parsha "Naso" (Numbers 4:21 through all of chapter 7.) The Erev Shabbat reading begins with the 'head count' of the families which make up the tribe of Levi, through the process for the 'sota', or woman who is SUSPECTED of adultery, through the Nazerite vow, and then the longest, and most redundant, and thus 'perplexing' chapter in the Torah: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/SSM-6-6-25-Naso-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 Since Mark has talked about the 'cup' placed in the hand of the woman suspected of adultery often, and the connections, from Moses and the Golden Calf to Gethsemane and finally the Whore of Babylon in Revelation, this time the focus of the Sabbath Day midrash is a bit different. In John chapter 8, while Yahushua is teaching at the temple, a woman is brought before Him -- to 'test him' the text says -- who was allegedly caught in adultery, "the very act." Whereupon, Mark demonstrates, that most teachings in 'sun-day skool' proceed to miss the entire point of the story! And it certainly was NOT that He "did away with the law," or even "raised the bar," on His own Word. There is a larger pattern in evidence here as well. Naso: "Where is the MAN?" https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/WT-CooH-6-7-25-Naso-Wheres-the-Man-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

Water in The Rock, or The Rock in the Water? This newletter is lengthy, so let it serve for two Shabbats. There will be no newsletter next week due to visiting Jacob's Tent services Up to the Mountain. In the last several newsletters, we've taken a close look at the many prophecies embodied in Yeshua's walk on the water of the Galilee in Matthew Fourteen. How different was Yeshua's perception of the walk than Peter and the other disciples'! For the one who was the water in the Rock…and the Rock…in the wilderness for the Israelites, it was no problem to also be the Rock in the water to his students. “He alone spreads out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea…” (Job 9:8) Sometimes it helps to put the Gospel of Matthew back into its original Hebrew text. While no one is certain of where that text might be (only fragments are known to survive), there is a version whose provenance can only be traced so far back in Jewish history, yet it is quite accurate considering it was used by a less-than-friendly readership. It is the Shem Tov's Evan Bohan version from the Fourteenth Century. The differences between the Hebrew and Greek texts are not drastic. To Yeshua, the stroll on the Galilee during the storm was perceived much differently than his students, who perceived it as dangerous, chaotic, and "contrary." In the Hebrew Matthew version, the word for contrary is neged, or opposing, opposite. Neged has a good side, too, for Adam's wife Chavah was his ezer kenegdo, or “helper opposite him,” which brings balance. When opposition is a helper, it is because in spite of the opposition, the overall purpose is to achieve unity walking in the Word. The opposite helper pulls the weight of the yoke beside the other, ensuring the burden does not get dragged in endless circles, but can go straight. For example, grace and truth are not opposed to one another. One cannot be practiced at the expense of the other. In Yeshua, they work together. Sarah wasn't such a good helper when she suggested Hagar as a solution to their problem, but she was a good helper when she advised Abraham to send away Ishmael, who had not internalized the righteousness of his father and threatened the inheritance of Isaac. The disciples did not see the waves of the storm as their ezer kenegdo, or helping opposition, but as a destructive force. They were just rowing in circles in the middle of the Galilee, taking on water. Galilee does indeed imply circles in Hebrew, like a roll or spool, and a wave is a gal, pronounced gahl (not to be confused with other gals). This is perhaps what it has in common with the “circle of the earth,” and why from Isaiah's prophecy, Galilee came to be called “Galilee of the Nations.” In Jewish tradition, Moses hid the Rock that followed them in the wilderness in the bottom of the Galilee before he died, which explains why Yeshua would have made his early home near the Galilee and begun his ministry there. The Rock was both the water in the Rock, the Rock, and the Rock in the water. It also explains how Yeshua's ministry prepared the way for the nations to hear the Gospel message from his disciples: “But there will be no more gloom for her who was in anguish; in earlier times He treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles. The people who walk in darkness will see a great light; those who live in a dark land, the light will shine on them.” (Is 9:1-2) As the region of the Galilee represented the Gentile nations in the time from Isaiah to Yeshua's ministry, so the disciples were dispersed to proclaim the Light of the Word Yeshua to the scattered of Israel as well as the Gentiles who dwelled among the raging waves of tormenting wickedness. Even as we are rescued, we are tested of the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit,

News and commentary for Monday, 2 June, 2025.

The Book of Bemidbar, or Numbers, which begins with the reading this week (Numbers 1:1-4:20) is apropos both in English, and in the Hebrew names. It certainly has LOTS of Numbers, and for very good reasons, and it takes place 'B'midbar,' or "In the Wilderness." Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship and the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/SSM-5-30-25-Bemidbar-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 The Sabbath Day midrash is about more than just the significance of the 'Numbers' that make up so much of the story. If "faith" was all that matters, why would He spend so much ink on numbers? And why is there so much information in here that doesn't really merit much attention from so much of 'christianity' anyway? What can we really learn from things that most would evidently prefer to ignore? Bemidbar: "Pay Attention to Scripture Ignored" https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/WT-CooH-5-31-25-Bemidbar-Pay-Attention-to-Things-IGNORED-Numbers-matter-podcast-xx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

Finally - things "hidden," are "being revealed." And yet we also know that we are on the precipice of the Greatest Deception in all of history. "Discernment" is just the first part of the answer. "How to Recognize Tyranny"

News, commentary, and a look at more "Big Lies Finally Being Revealed,," from host Mark Call, as he takes a look back at the week, ending Saturday, 31 May, 2025.

The Torah teachers, Mark Call and Ray Harrison, are now joined again by Pete Rambo, as they complete the study of Shaul or Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians. Of all the ways that this letter has been 'twisted,' and - as they have suggested - even inverted from its original meaning, context, and intent, this may be the most key.

As we begin the 3rd month on the Biblical calendar, the Lord is releasing instructions and provision to His people.  It is important that we align and agree with this timing and expect major changes this month.  

News and commentary for Thursday, 29 May, 2025. Some Big Lies have been told now for SO long that people don't even recognize how simple the Truth can be. While other lies are still Big enough that Big Brother is more than willing to kill for them.

News and commentary for Wednesday, 28 May, 2025. There's much more going on than you will hear from the WasteStream 'News.'

In this powerful message, Pastor Brandon takes us deep into the meaning and prophetic significance of Deuteronomy 8:3, where we're reminded that "man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD." Through the lens of Israel's wilderness experience, Pastor Brandon uncovers a timely principle: freedom without spiritual dependence leads to disaster. This message connects ancient Israel's rebellion with the modern trends of government dependency, AI automation, and spiritual apathy in the Laodicean church age. He also explores the sobering doctrine of excommunication, walking through 1 Corinthians 5 and Romans 11:22, and highlights why many believers fail to thrive spiritually—they prioritize the physical over the spiritual.
