In this in-depth study of Isaiah 6 and beyond, Pastor Brandon unpacks powerful prophetic truths about spiritual blindness, rebellion, and redemption. This message explores the danger of rejecting God's revelation, the consequences of unbelief, and how the hardening of the heart can lead to spiritual darkness. Through parallels to today's culture, the message draws connections between Isaiah's time, the condition of modern nations, and the growing spiritual blindness in our world. We'll also look at: - The idioms and meanings behind "make the heart of this people dull" - The progressive judgment of unbelief and its national consequences - The foreshadowing of Israel's rejection of Messiah - The reality of hell and the coming Messianic Kingdom - The hope of restoration and resurrection through Christ This teaching challenges believers to stand firm in truth, resist emotional deception, and cultivate faith grounded in God's Word. Isaiah reminds us that there is always a faithful remnant—and the call remains the same: believe, stand firm, and be established.

Better Homes and Garden The last several newsletters have investigated the Torah's ancient call to hospitality, not just a a nice thing to do, but as a vital preparation to inherit the Kingdom. Our hospitality study trail through the Torah, Prophets, Writings, and New Covenant started with Song of Songs 5:1, a restoration of the Bride and Bridegroom to the Garden of Eden: "I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam.I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk. Eat, friends; drink and imbibe deeply, O lovers.” This hospitality verse is thought to be one source for the traditional belief that the four rivers of Eden flow with milk, honey, wine, and balsam. In past newsletters, we made the connection between hospitality to the needy and the righteous stranger and one's preparation for to inherit, or even just enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Mt 25:34-46). Entering the Father's House, which was prepared for the righteous from the foundation of the world, is contingent upon preparing one's own house. Yeshua will definitely knock on the door! The very light of the earth was sown for the righteous at the beginning (Ps 97:11), the light of the Word of good works for them to walk in eternally (Eph 2:10). A better garden will be filled with the multiplication of human beings, the precious crown of creation created to fellowship with the Holy One Himself. Yeshua taught his disciples that the "rooms" of the Garden, their eternal home of inheritance, are being prepared for them, yet they also must prepare to inherit by preparing their own homes on earth. This would cause the Presence of the Creator to dwell comfortably in them. Better home, better Garden. "Depart from evil and do good, so you will abide forever. For the LORD loves justice and does not forsake His godly ones; they are preserved forever, but the descendants of the wicked will be cut off. The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever." (Ps 37:27-29) ?????????? ??????????????? ????????????? ????? ???????? The commentators to the verse in Song of Songs 5:1 connect it to Psalm 37:27-29 above in the Midrash Rabbah and write, ”The word yishkenu should not be translated as ‘they will dwell,' but as a causative verb in the present tense, ‘They cause to dwell.'” “If only the righteous dwell upon the earth, what will the wicked do? Shall they fly in the air? Rather, the verse means that the wicked did not cause the Divine Presence to dwell on earth, but the righteous did cause the Divine Presence to dwell on earth.” (5§1) In yishkenu, you see the root of shachan, "to dwell," and the "Shechinah," or indwelling Presence. The Presence of the Creator Elohim has always longed to have an intimate relationship with human beings. He did not appoint them to rule of the earth in order to be a distant, cold judge of their actions, but so they would administer on His behalf according to His will because His Word was alive in them through fellowship. They would be able rulers because of their daily walking and talking in the special abode, the Garden of Eden. The Garden is thought to hover just above the Land of Israel, its centerpoint over Jerusalem. From there the Kingdom will be administered by Yeshua. The righteous are those whose lives are a home of hospitality to the Presence of Elohim. They CAUSE Him to descend for the fellowship He longs for with His creation. Inheriting the Land of Israel, the administrative center of the entire earth, is a matter of preparation. Even in Revelation 21:2, the Bride is described as the inhabitants of New Jerusalem “prepared for her husband.” Prepared. Prepared. Who is the Bride? Those who prepared the better Garden, working the will of the Word in their lives, which affects what Yeshua prepares for them in the Third Heaven, or the Garden of Eden. Is there something in our hospitality study to connect us to this Third Heaven?

Love and Torah—what's the link? This series focuses on the “Two Great Commands"—loving Yahweh and your neighbor. While many groups claim to believe in the Creator and His Messiah, they often hold differing views. Everyone agrees love is vital, but what does it look like in practice? What actions does it involve? In this series, Love & Torah, Rabbi Steve Berkson offers straightforward biblical insights into these questions. After finishing his study of Psalm 119, which highlights loving Elohim, Rabbi Berkson now turns to how to love others. The Gospel of John, chapter 15, serves as an ideal starting point, as Messiah Yeshua uses agricultural metaphors to teach His disciples about the relationship He desires among believers. • What is the “gap” between the Gardener and the Vine? • What does pruning mean? How does it relate to you? • If Messiah Yeshua calls Himself the “True Vine," could there be false vines? • Why did Messiah Yeshua say, “Stay in Me"? • Why does verse 15:3 mention being clean because of the Word? • What is a direct download from the Ruach? • Do you need to pray before doing anything? • What is “Vertical Awareness”? Rabbi Berkson once again analyzes these passages in detail, helping you gain a deeper understanding of what Yah expects and how you can fulfill it to receive blessings.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha "Lech Lecha," Genesis 12:1-`7:27) -- which might be considered the original "come out" teaching in Scripture -- where the first Patriarch, Abram (later Abraham) is told to "get thee OUT" of your country, leave what you have known, and "go to the land that I will show you." It's a historic, literally "Biblical-level" Act of Faith. But that is where the story of the life of one of the most important men in Scripture, and the 'Father of our Faith," only begins. Here's the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/SSM-10-31-25-Lech-Lecha-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 This parsha lays out several truly 'fundamental' elements. One, referenced often in the Apostolic Writings (aka 'Old' Testament) is that the man re-named Abraham in this story "believed YHVH," and his actions repeatedly made that clear, and He "counted it to him for righteousness." (Genesis 15:6, referenced by Paul/Shaul in Romans 4.) Mark begins the Sabbath midrash with what some might consider a surprising understanding, given that is counter to what many may have heard, as he notes, "twisted," and it lies at the heart of this story: Galatians has been taught "backwards." What does Hagar, 'the Egyptian,' represent? And if Paul, as he said, wrote to the former pagans in Galatia that he was worried that they were already "turning away" from that faith demonstrated by Abraham to the "weak and beggarly elements" from which they had been delivered, what does that mean? And, ultimately, just who is the 'son of the bondwoman'? Once you see through the lies we have been fed - "inherited from our fathers" (some more literally than others) - it will be unseen. Please share this one if you find it valuable.

Mark Call and David Justice discuss the major news of the week, the Schumer Shutdown, and the intended EBT/SNAP Riots to come.

This week, Pete Rambo and Mark Call close out the Torah Teachers' Round Table, and the special "Two House" series, with part four.

Sometimes, it is downright amazing how various events just seem to "come together." Whether it is an accident, or by design, is another issue, however. Still, this coming weekend is a prime example; we're there. First the 'high Satanic holy day' dedicated to pagan sacrifice, and those who are duped into letting children participate. But that is followed up immediately by the "EBT riots" so carefully engineered by the Far Left, who may talk about "the poor" but are more than anxious to hang them out to dry die. And they are just plain jonesin' for the riots that have been so carefully orchestrated. And, ironically, even the idiocy of "Daylight Savings Time" goes off this weekend, and it amounts to an extra Bonus Riot Hour on Sunday evening, and every night thereafter, so that it will be dark just that much earlier. "CONFLUENCE..."

Dr. Jay and Amazing Larry conclude their look at remez, how rabbis teach the Bible in shorthand.

Pastor Walt continues Thinking Out Loud on the Woundedness of Men. Pastor Walt tells us that wounded men have characteristics that have developed as a result of their woundedness … they can't have intimacy with other men, they can't receive correction from older men, they don't have self-esteem, they have no confidence, they are confused, they don't know what their role in the home or society is. Pastor Walt shares that the Church can help wounded men heal from and be free of these characteristics.Thinking Out Loud with Walt McFaddenWalt McFadden, Pastor of Cityview Church in Minneapolis, is a no-nonsense kind of guy who takes no prisoners when it comes to the Truth.

News and commentary for Wednesday, 29 October, 2025.

In this in-depth Bible study, Pastor Brandon Holthaus unpacks one of Scripture's most powerful Hebraisms: “My Well Beloved Has a Vineyard.” This message explores Isaiah 5 and the parable of the vineyard, revealing God's heart for Israel, the prophetic imagery behind the vineyard and the fig tree, and how misunderstanding this passage can lead to dangerous theological errors like Replacement Theology. From Isaiah to the Gospels, Pastor Brandon traces the prophetic line showing how Israel's spiritual condition in the days of Isaiah carried through to the time of Jesus and even into the modern era. Learn why the vineyard symbolizes Israel, how God's expectations of righteousness were met with rebellion, and why Jesus' parable of the wicked tenants serves as both a warning and a prophecy of coming judgment. This lesson dives into: - The Hebraic meaning of “My Well Beloved Has a Vineyard” (Isaiah 5) - How Israel became a prophetic signpost of God's plan - The difference between the vineyard, the fig tree, and the olive tree - Why misunderstanding this passage fuels Replacement Theology - The prophetic parallels between ancient Israel and the modern church - The unchanging covenant promises of God to Israel Stay with us to the end for a discussion on current events, digital surveillance, the spirit of Antichrist, and how these connect to biblical prophecy and end-times deception.

Through his books, films, and online content, Joel seeks to equip believers with a grounded, apocalyptic hope rooted in the Scriptures. The Gospel of the Skull Crusher: The Gloriously Good News of God's Plan to Fix Everything is a sweeping journey through the entire biblical story—from Eden to the New Jerusalem—revealing the Messiah as the promised "seed of the woman" who crushes the serpent's head (Genesis 3:15). This book traces the war between the two seeds through every major covenant, prophecy, and hope of Scripture. Combining biblical theology, prophetic insight, and devotional clarity, Joel Richardson unveils how the gospel is not merely about escaping this world, but about God's promise to restore all things through the victorious reign of His Son. To Purchase Book: store.joelstrumpet.com == Description Dr. Michael Lake is joined by Dr. Mike Spaulding, Dr. Corby Shuey, and special guest Joel Richardson (NYT bestselling author, filmmaker, Bible teacher) to unpack Joel's new book, The Gospel of the Skull Crusher: The Glorious Good News of God's Plan for Fixing Everything. From Genesis 3:15 and the "war of the seeds" to Jesus as the Divine Warrior, we explore why the Bible is not just a promise book—it's a war narrative with a guaranteed victory at the Cross, fully manifested at the Lord's return. We tackle the "now and not yet" paradigm, embodied hope and the resurrection, the prophetic centrality of Israel (Abrahamic & Davidic covenants), and why recovering a Hebraic, non-Platonic worldview matters for discipleship, evangelism, and everyday faith. Joel also shares why he crafted a tactile, heirloom-quality book (linen cover, foil, ribbon, full-color art) to help readers slow down, wonder, and worship—plus how to access his ongoing chapter-by-chapter Bible study series.

Parsha "Noach" (Genesis 6:9-11:32) is actually the second, and concluding part of the story of the "days of Noah," and is the reading that contains the most well-known (and also sometimes LEAST known!) elements of the story of The Flood. But there's more, too, because it also includes the "Tower of Babel," and the intro to the first of the Patriarchs. https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/SSM-10-24-25-Noach-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 Mark begins the Sabbath midrash with the observation that the 'days of Noah' spanned not only the time prior to the Flood when "the thoughts of men's hearts was only evil continually," but also many years thereafter, and certainly through the time of Nimrod, and up to the story of Babel. And that is particularly key when it comes to understanding the somewhat enigmatic story of His 'confounding the language' to deliberately ensure that mankind is NOT "one people," and NOT able to 'work together for the common good.' The fact that so much of today's 'One World' propaganda pushes exactly that goal should be concerning, at minimum, given that YHVH explained His concern by saying the reason for His actions was that once they learned to work together, and seemingly plot to thwart His potential plans, "THIS is what they begin to do." "Noach: Maybe 'coexist' is NOT the best motto - then or now" https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/WT-CooH-10-25-25-Noach-Am-Echad-And-THIS-is-What-they-Begin-to-DO-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

News and commentary from host Mark Call for the news that actually matters for the week ending 25 October, 2025.

Torah teachers Pete Rambo and Mark Call resume the special series of round table sessions on one of the most important, and certainly overlooked and misunderstood, subjects in Scripture, the "Two Houses" that came from the Twelve Tribes, with part III this week. They literally permeate the prophets, and in particular things that have not yet come to pass, but are still largely an enigma to "churchianity." The chapters they explore this week - Jeremiah 3, and Ezekiel 23, are sometimes even considered "controversial" by a 'church' that is still in exile for the very reasons they outline. They should NOT be, and the fact that some claim they are just helps make His point.

"WAR!" We are there. On SO many fronts. Join host Mark Call for a look at the "pinchers" (courtesy of the Marxists, Bolsheviks, and Far-Left US traitors) that are intended to squeeze Americans into poverty, despair - and compliance, if not simply death. "See, I have told you beforehand," says the Messiah, in Matthew 24. There's a reason for that. We are to "know the times and the seasons," and NOT be caught unaware, as like by a "thief in the night."

Even though the Toronto Blue Jays traded away Spencer Horwitz, their only recent Jewish player, there are still multiple Hebraic angles that our Jewish sports podcasters are celebrating as the team charges into the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers this week. The father-son team of Dan and Ben Shulman will be calling the Jays' broadcasts; macher Mark Shapiro sits as team president and CEO; two of the biggest celebrity fans include Eugene Levy and Geddy Lee; and at least two rabbis—one in Toronto, the other in L.A.—have engaged in a friendly wager over the outcome. Menschwarmers co-hosts Gabe Pulver and James Hirsh dig into all this as the two lifelong Jays fans get ready for Game 1 on Friday night. After that, Gabe sits down with soccer journalist and broadcaster David Gass (co-host of the Kickback Committee podcast), who explains all the chaos of the last week involving Israeli soccer teams, including Birmingham's decision to ban fans of the Maccabi Tel Aviv team and a subsequent called-off match between Maccabi and Hapoel Tel Aviv.

In this teaching, Pastor Brandon walks through powerful Hebraic idioms found in Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon. From “there is nothing new under the sun” to “catch the little foxes that spoil the vines,” this message uncovers timeless truths about human nature, spiritual warfare, and relationships. Learn how Solomon's wisdom reveals the futility of life “under the sun” apart from God, why sin and deception are simply recycled patterns, and how only divine revelation breaks those cycles. Then, journey into the Song of Solomon to explore how small, unchecked compromises—the “little foxes”—can destroy intimacy in marriages, families, and faith. This message offers biblical insight into: • Recognizing the repetitive nature of sin and Satan's tactics   • Breaking generational and personal cycles through God's revelation   • Understanding the risk of faith and stepping into God's calling   • Identifying and removing the “foxes” that damage relationships   • Applying healthy communication, boundaries, and spiritual maturity   Whether in marriage, family, or personal growth, this study reveals how the Lord calls us to rise above the monotony of “under the sun” and live in the light of His truth.   **Scripture References:**   Ecclesiastes 1:9 • Ecclesiastes 11:1 • Song of Solomon 2:15 • 1 Corinthians 5:11 • Psalm 139:23–24 #BibleStudy #Hebraisms #Ecclesiastes #SongOfSolomon #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianTeaching #Relationships #Faith #Marriage #Discipleship #RockHarborChurch

Love and Torah—what's the connection? This series explores the “Two Great Commands'—loving Yahweh and loving your neighbor. In Psalm 119, starting from verse 159, Rabbi Steve Berkson reveals a ‘truth' in King David's repeated pleas to Elohim to “revive” him because he loves Elohim's commandments. Do you feel the need for revival? Romans 10:4 mentions that “Messiah is the end of the Law for righteousness…" in some translations, but does this imply the Law's end, or does the word 'end' have a different meaning? Does 'forever' truly mean forever? Rabbi Berkson challenges the idea of forever, explaining his perspective. Daily life provides evidence that the Brit Hadasha (New Testament) is true—do you know what these signs are? As you strive to become like Messiah Yeshua, what is the most influential factor in your life? Rabbi Berkson again carefully analyzes these passages to deepen your understanding of what Yah expects, so you can act accordingly and receive His blessings.

Parsha "Bereshiet" (Genesis 1, through 6:8) is the first reading in the new cycle of the Torah, from "in the Beginning" to the first part of the "days of Noah." And as Mark Call, of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship, noted last week, it's just too much to try and cover responsibly in just one week. And since the interesting of reading from the last parsha, at the end of Deuteronomy straight through into the first Book, since we never really finish our study of His Instruction, means we read and studied into the first few chapters of Genesis/Bereshiet last week, Mark did exactly that, and spent some time on the first three chapters then. So, this week, after a brief recap of the story of the 'nacash' and Eve/Chava's deception in chapter 3, and the "first two lies", the Erev Shabbat story and reading picks up there: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/SSM-10-18-25-Bereshiet-continued-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 Even beyond the First Two Lies, is the one that actually is NOT in Scripture, but does permeate the Whore Church: That "jesus did away with the Law," "nailed it to the cross," and somehow did what the Real Messiah promised repeated He would NOT. The Sabbath Day midrash is all about the EFFECTS of those "Big Lies," especially in the presence of the level of Evil seen then - "as it was in the Days of Noach" - and again, now. Are we there yet? What can we now begin to see that looks like? And the repeated and urgent message is "see that you are not deceived!" Mark takes another look at the progression, the prophecy of Matthew 24, and where the Big Lies may lead next. It's time to not only 'connect some dots,' but even extrapolate a bit. https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/WT-CooH-10-18-25-Bereshiet-pt-2-See-That-You-are-NOT-Deceived-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

David Justice and Mark Call review the major events of the week just past, from the latest major acts of treason being revealed, but largely still un-prosecuted, to the continued push toward Civil War 2.0, and the upcoming false flags.

The plans for destruction are longstanding, now obvious, and still in progress. Is it already... "Too Late Now" (!) (?)

News, commentary, and an extended summary from host Mark Call of some of the biggest - and even best - news for the week ending 18 October, 2025. The treason continues to accelerate, but the prosecutions may have begun. And the warning signs are flashing.

In this powerful Bible teaching, we explore several profound Hebrew expressions found throughout Scripture—from "the apple of your eye" to "the king's heart in the hand of the Lord." Pastor Brandon Holthaus unpacks the deep Hebraic meaning behind these phrases and connects them to how we understand God's providence, human free will, and the believer's walk of faith. You'll discover how God's Word reveals your true reflection, how spiritual hunger grows through Scripture, and why treasuring the Word is vital in a time when a famine of truth has fallen on the church. This message also touches on the sobering reality of God's discipline, the cycle of sin described in Proverbs, and the eternal hope that awaits every believer beyond this life—reminding us that heaven is far greater than we can imagine.

THEN LASTLY, we will begin our "Did Ya' Know?" series with a crazy conversation we had with the Brave Browser's AI Assistant which it appears is not only a liar but also a Conspiracy Theorist.

News and commentary for Monday, 13 October, 2025.

Episode 198: One my often wonder what the meaning or what the purpose of life is. Undenounced to some, the answer is with the Hebraic writings. The declaration of obedience is tantamount in understanding the purpose of life. We will continue to explore themes that support tenants surrounding the Hebrew people that help define what makes like meaningful in the sight of the Most-High.  

Episode 197: One of the themes in the Hebraic writings to is the return of Hebrew Yisrael back to the ways of the Most-High. There has always been messengers to herald the call to Yisrael even in exile. We examine the current state of Hebrew Yisrael as we explain the necessity to unify those that have an ear to hear the edicts of the Most-High Yahweh.

Love and Torah – what's the connection? This study series is centered around the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. Psalm 119, verse 150, continues this teaching, where Rabbi Steve Berkson explains that those who pursue mischief have a different agenda than Yahweh and are far from His Torah. These individuals lack an intimate relationship with The Creator. They may outwardly do what is right, but their hearts are far from Him. Rabbi Berkson also explores the distinction between “mercy” and “grace/favor,” providing a clear understanding of these terms. King David, the psalmist, wrote about those who “have not sought Your Laws” and called them “the wrong ones.” Do you seek His Laws? Lashon Hara, Hebrew for “evil tongue,” is a term many people are familiar with but may be confused about its true meaning. Rabbi Berkson delves into the meaning of this term and its impact on your life and the lives of those around you. Rabbi Berkson offers some of the best life coaching available as he explores the intricate world of human relationships, including dating, marriage, and raising children. He highlights relationship attributes such as “default expectancy” and “understood expectancy,” helping you understand how these attributes can affect you. Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages, providing a deeper understanding of what Yahweh expects of you, enabling you to fulfill His expectations and receive His blessings.

Parsha "V'zot HaBerakhah" (Deuteronomy (chapter 33 through the End of the Book, and the entire Torah) is the final reading in this cycle, and the life of Moses. The Erev Shabbat reading begins there: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/SSM-10-10-25-V-zot-HaBerakhah-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 This Sabbath Day midrash comes during the week of Sukkot, or the Feast of Tabernacles -- not only the actual time of the birth of the Messiah, but the heart of the yet-to-be-fulfilled prophecies of the Greater Exodus, the Revelation, and the Wedding Feast. It's also when the annual Torah cycle readings conclude, and begin again. V'zot HaBerakhah: This is the Blessing - the Cycle Begins Anew https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/WT-CooH-10-11-25-V-zot-HaBerakhah-cycles-into-Bereshiet-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

* You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Oct12.pdf * In Hebrews chapter 1, we are told that Jesus - the Messiah - was not a prophet or an angel. Rather, He is the eternally begotten Son of God. The writer quotes multiple passages from the Hebrew scriptures (Old Testament) to establish that this should have been understood. The misconception that the "mal'ak" of YHWH was an angelic being rather than a "Messenger" or "Ambassador" had caused great confusion. One of the roles of the Son is to be the Tabernacling Presence of YHWH on the earth. He is the Apostle (official representative) of the Father. * This allusion to the "mal'ak" of YHWH (as the pillar of cloud/fire) then continues into chapter 2, where the writer speaks to his Hebrew audience as the descendants of those who rejected the deliverance of YHWH through the ministry of the "mal'ak" of YHWH, and spent 40 years wandering in the wilderness. "How shall WE escape if WE neglect so great a salvation (deliverance)?" Just as the Israelite deliverance was first declared by Moses and then confirmed by signs and wonders, so this greater deliverance was declared by Jesus (God - the Son, incarnate) and confirmed by signs, wonders and gifts of the Holy Spirit! * When Messiah came, He did not come then in subjection to angelic beings but rather having authority over them! In fact, His purpose in coming was to be our champion over Lucifer, the fallen archangel, who had the power of death (2:14). The Messiah Jesus came, shared in flesh and blood, died and rose from the dead to conquer death itself and Lucifer. In this manner, He revealed that He had greater authority than the angels. * That now leads us into chapter 3 where the supreme Hebraic picture of the Exodus is again the center of instruction. The contrast is made to Moses who had authority as a servant in the "house", but the Messiah has full authority - as the builder and owner of the house! * When YHWH provided Israel "so great a salvation" out of the land of Egypt, He was leading them out of bondage in order to bring them into a land of "rest." However, this land could only be received, and entered, by trusting YHWH to give them the land (and the rest), just as He had revealed through bringing them out of Egypt. * Today, we see that the Ultimate/Greater Rest is still available to all who believe! Jesus stated, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." ( Matthew 11:28-30) * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on October 12, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

News, commentary, and an extended summary from host Mark Call of some of the biggest - and even best - news for the week ending 11 October, 2025. Will Treason continue to prosper?

Just after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, host Mark Call did a show outlining the engineering concept of "transient effects," that happen whenever any system - including an entire society - is hit with a "shock to the system." Since then, the only thing we now know about that tragic event is that the story surrounding the patsy is patently unbelievable, even to the point of insulting our intelligence. So the FBI is still lying. And this even AFTER they finally admitted to having the better part of 300 agents provocateur in the crowd during the 9-11 Fedsurrection. Today we here the Far Left - who were just fine with troops enforcing mask mandates, Zyklon-B injections, and practicing for gun confiscation - whine about the "constitution" when it threatens their Beautiful Wickedness. The Truth is - we HAVE seen real martial law, the real weaponization of "intel agencies," and lawfare, and State-sanctioned terror and invasion. It's a bit late to whine about "tyranny," and "dictatorship," and a POTENTIAL police state. We've seen it. And the precedent has been set. The question is - can we survive the Transient necessary - if it's even possible! - to restore the Rule of Law and an actual Republic. Join Mark Call for part II of the look at Transients - and Terror.

We are told, both directly and via a number of parables, to "know the times and the seasons." This week, as David and Mark point out, there are any number of examples in the news of stories that tell us where we are, and how to know where we're headed.
