What's So New About the New Covenant? Part 1 | KIB 522 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description: In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing #522, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake explore a vital question for the remnant in the last days: What is so new about the New Covenant? This episode uncovers how the promises of the New Covenant were already embedded in the Old Testament and how many believers have been disconnected from the very foundations that explain who we are in Christ. Mary Lou opens with practical warnings about spiritual deception in culture, hidden occult influence, and the need for prayer over vulnerable regions, infrastructure, and the nation. She also shares an important encouragement for God's people to remain watchful, prayerful, and spiritually prepared. Dr. Lake then begins a powerful new teaching series showing that the New Covenant does not abolish God's previous revelation, but rather internalizes it. He explains how the Torah being written on the heart, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, circumcision of heart, and the renewal of the mind are all part of the deeper reality of walking with God in the last days. This is a timely message for believers who want to move beyond shallow Christianity, rediscover the Hebraic foundations of the faith, and understand how spiritual maturity, healing, and obedience work together in the Kingdom of God.

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. On the Holy Day of Shavuot, Rabbi Berkson continues to explore Romans chapter 12, helping us understand the meaning behind the writing to that assembly of that time and what it means for us today. What does it mean to “offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, which is our ‘reasonable service'”? What does it look like to “think more highly of yourself than you should think”? Rabbi Berkson dives deep into verse 3 to explain what that means. What is the “measure of belief” that verse 3 mentions? What are the “gifts” listed in verses 6-8? Are they “spiritual gifts”? Rabbi Berkson once again analyzes these passages to help you better understand what Yah expects of you, so you can do it and receive the blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org

Parsha “Vayakhel,” Exodus 35:1 through 38:20, in many respects will seem very familiar. Many elements that we just recently read, only about ten chapters earlier, are repeated. Why? And why so much detail, not just once, but twice? Mark has long suggested that any time something is repeated in Scripture, we had better pay attention; it’s virtually certain that it is important. But there is almost certainly more to it as well. For example, the concept of a chiasm, or “atbash” in Hebrew that serves to ‘set off’ what is enclosed in what might be thought of as the equivalent of ‘brackets,’ or even nested parentheses, in English. In a more modern parlance, it might be thought of as a Biblical equivalent of an HTML tag. And in the case of some, like what comes to a conclusion in this reading, a virtual bright flashing red emphasis, in ALL CAPS, too. Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at the parsha, and the implications for a world that stands at minimum on the cusp of World War III, potentially with even a nuclear escalation, and a global economic (and fiat reserve currency and debt) meltdown that have both been a long time coming. As for the ‘End Times’ — well, “soon” is a relative concept in prophecy, but we know of a certainly that we are ‘close,’ and what will ultimately come to pass. The Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/SSM-3-13-Vayakhel-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 If this repeated, often word-for-word, detail, and the entire concept of first being told WHAT to make, then again WHEN they made it, is the ‘closing bracket,’ or tag, for what comes in between, then what is He emphasizing> Certainly, the ‘Golden Calf,’ and one of the most dramatic failure in Scripture. And there’s even an “atbash within that abash,” as well, concerning His Sabbath. But, this time the explicit reminder is that it’s one of those commandments that carries a death penalty. How can that be ignored? To ‘come out of her,’ remains an imperative. But then what? Vayakhel: “Coming out, coming together – it just starts willing hearts” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/WT-CooH-3-14-Vayakhel-Coming-OUT-Coming-together-wise-willing-hearts-podcast-xxxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

Host Mark Call has news and commentary on the major events and developments of the week ending 14 March, 2026. World War 3 continues, and does not seem to have any end in sight. But there are other major issues now as well.

Mark and David discuss some of the major events of latest Week of War – including just who or what is the real target, the real culprit, and what the goal might be. Is it a colossal debacle, en route to a nuclear escalation of WW3? Or more “4-D chess?” Will the election rigging, fake money, and treason in the swamp someday come out? The real answer may not be clear for some time, if ever. But the immediate consequences are important. Because increasing terror, economic fracture, and incredible propaganda are virtually guaranteed in any event.

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. During the weekend of Shavuot, Rabbi Steve Berkson offers a preview of the Love and Torah teaching by exploring what Shavuot means in your life – a dedication to living with the belief of who and what Messiah Yeshua truly is and becoming like Him. Then, in 2 John, Rabbi Berkson breaks down the first few verses as John writes to a family he might be discipling. The elder reminds them of the important commandment to walk in love as the Father desires. In verse 7, John warns against associating with certain people who could undermine this family’s faith. Among these warnings, John uses the term “anti-Messiah.” Rabbi Berkson explains this term clearly. What does it mean to “possess both the Father and the Son”? (2 John 9) Next, Rabbi Berkson guides us to Romans 12 and explains the author's intent as we read about presenting ourselves as a sacrifice and offering, not conforming to the “mindset of” the world, and understanding the perfect desire and will of the Father. Rabbi Berkson again analyzes these passages to deepen your understanding of what Yah expects from you, so you can do it and receive His blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide Contact MTOI: 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

In this next installment of Heaven Shaking the Persian Bear I explain the aggadah of the specific power awarded to Dobiel over the Persian bear kings in the symbolic scroll and how it influenced through the kingdoms of the beast around the earth. We'll briefly discuss the significance of the Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf in the present conflict as it pertains to the decree of the scroll.

This is perhaps one of the most important, most blunt, most twisted, and certainly – now, particularly – one of most utterly relevant Torah parashot in the Book. Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at parsha Ki Tisa, Exodus 30:11 through chapter 34. The Erev Shabbat reading starts with the command to take a head count, and how, and then continues through the infamous betrayal of the ‘golden calf’ — first of many, as it turns out — and the aftermath: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/SSM-3-6-Ki-Tisa-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 How often do we hear about the idolatry of that ‘Golden Calf’? And the smug dismissal that it was so long ago, but the ‘Church’ is SO much better than that – now. Really? Maybe there’s a lot more to it. And THAT would be why the Whore Church ignores all of that. Ki Tisa: “Why did Moses SMASH the first Tablets?” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/CooH-3-7-Ki-Tisa-WHY-did-Moses-Smash-the-1st-Tablets-podcast-xxxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

In this Bible study, we explore the powerful final chapter of Isaiah and the transition into the book of Jeremiah. Isaiah 66 introduces one of the most sobering images in Scripture: “where the worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.” This Hebrew idiom, later used by Jesus in the New Testament, points to the reality of eternal judgment and the seriousness of rejecting God. The imagery comes from the Valley of Gehenna outside Jerusalem, a place associated with continual burning and decay. Jesus referenced this same imagery in Mark 9 to warn about the eternal consequences of sin and the urgency of removing anything that keeps us from faith in Him. From there, the study moves into Jeremiah 2:13 and the powerful metaphor of “broken cisterns.” God describes Israel abandoning Him, the fountain of living water, and digging their own broken reservoirs that cannot hold water. This vivid picture illustrates humanity's tendency to seek life, fulfillment, and security in things other than God. Throughout the teaching, we examine how these ancient warnings still apply today. People continue to build modern “cisterns” in money, power, relationships, pleasure, and self-reliance, yet only Christ offers the true living water that satisfies the soul. Jesus later stands in the temple and declares, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.” The invitation remains the same today: stop trusting in broken cisterns and come to the source of living water. Topics covered in this study: • Isaiah 66 and the imagery of the undying worm • Jesus' teaching on Gehenna and eternal judgment • The doctrine of hell and God's justice • Jeremiah's warning about broken cisterns • Idolatry and trusting in false sources of life • Jesus as the fountain of living water Scriptures referenced include: Isaiah 66:24 Mark 9:47–48 Jeremiah 2:13 John 7:37–38 This message is a call to examine what we are trusting in and to return to the only source of true life: Jesus Christ. Keep looking up. Our redemption draws near.

... Continuation of "Heaven is Shaking the Bear" series

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at parsha Terzaveh, Exodus 27:20-30:10. The Erev Shabbat reading gives the details, of which there are many: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/SSM-2-27-Tetzaveh-teaching-podcast-x.mp3 The impressive level of detail is this description is certainly again one of the most memorable aspects of this parsha. And yet, as Mark reminds us in the Sabbath day midrash, one more time, there is “no idle word” in His Torah. But THIS time, we need to “Compare and Contrast.” Tetzaveh: “Is This the REAL One?” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/WT-CooH-2-28-26-Tetzaveh-Is-this-the-Real-One-podcast-xx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

Mark Call takes a look back at some of the most important news, with no shortage of commentary, for the week, and the month, ending 28 February, 2026. The perfidy, however, seems never-ending. But it is coming to light.

News and commentary for Thursday, 26 February, 2026.

There is no doubt that events are “accelerating” toward some sort of climax. And it’s happening on a number of fronts – economic, political, legal, and even international war. Is “complete collapse” at hand? Or just inevitable, on at least one of those fronts? Lots of things COULD happen. And we know what WILL happen. Just not necessarily when. But we can put all of that together. And there are some very definite events and likelihoods that we need to understand.

David Justice and Mark Call recap the major new events of the week, and more of the incredible revelations.

The Rise of Replacement Theology and Anti-Jewish Propaganda | KWR-0057 Kingdom War Room Episode Description In this Kingdom War Room roundtable, Dr. Michael Lake is joined by Dr. Mike Spaulding, Dr. Corby Shuey, and Dr. Justin Elwell for a sober, Scripture-centered discussion on replacement theology (supersessionism)—its historical roots, its modern resurgence, and why it fuels dangerous anti-Israel rhetoric in our day. We address: how supersessionism was codified historically and how it continues to shape today's conversations why God's covenants (especially the Abrahamic) are foundational to understanding the entire Bible the warning of Romans 11 and the inconsistency of claiming "Israel is replaced" while still appealing to Israel in end-times frameworks why "unhitching" from the Old Testament throws away the very definitions that make the New Testament intelligible the difference between critiquing a government's policies and condemning an entire people why the remnant must return to the Word of God—with God's definitions—if we're going to stand faithfully in the days ahead

News and commentary for Wednesday, 25 February, 2026. The State of the Union may be better than it was, but the continuing attack is very obvious.

In this powerful teaching from Isaiah 64, we unpack the rich Hebraic background behind phrases like “rend the heavens,” “come down,” and “the mountains might shake.” These are not random poetic expressions. They are layered idioms filled with covenantal, prophetic, and eschatological meaning. What does it mean to ask God to tear open the heavens? Why do mountains symbolize governments? How does this passage connect to Mount Sinai, the Exodus, and the future Tribulation? This study reveals: • The Hebraic meaning of “rend the heavens” • How “coming down” connects to Sinai and divine intervention • Why mountains represent kingdoms and authority structures • Israel's future national repentance in the Tribulation • The difference between spiritual salvation and physical deliverance • The biblical meaning of the Potter and the Clay • A contextual breakdown of Romans 9 in light of Jeremiah 18 • Why misunderstanding Hebraisms leads to theological confusion We also explore the personal application. When God delays intervention in our lives, what is He teaching us? How does remembering past deliverance build faith for future rescue? Understanding the Jewish background of Scripture brings clarity to passages that are often misunderstood, especially in debates surrounding sovereignty, free will, and replacement theology. If you want to understand the Old Testament foundations behind the New Testament, and how prophetic passages fit into God's redemptive plan for Israel and the nations, this teaching will deepen your perspective.

Prophetic Insights into the Spirit of Haman | KIB 519 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In this week's Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (Episode 519), Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake turn toward the biblical season of Purim and the prophetic lessons embedded in the book of Esther. As hidden things continue to be revealed in our day, Purim reminds us that God is not absent—He is orchestrating reversals, positioning His people, and bringing justice in His timing. Dr. Lake explores a powerful character study of Esther's three central figures—Esther, Mordecai, and Haman—and shows how Haman's identity as "the Agagite" connects the narrative to the ancient war with Amalek. You'll see how Saul's incomplete obedience created consequences that surfaced generations later—and how God raised up Mordecai and Esther to finish what Saul failed to do. This episode also examines the psychological and spiritual profile of Haman: pride, entitlement, obsession with honor, rage at dissent, manipulation of law and finances, and genocidal hatred. The discussion highlights how these traits mirror the "Amalekite/Haman spirit" at work through systems, propaganda, and bureaucratic power—then and now. Finally, we look at the hope of Purim: divine reversal—the trap of the wicked becoming their own downfall—and the call for the remnant to cultivate spiritual "mnemonic triggers" that keep us anchored in covenant faithfulness, humility, and the Word of God. Key themes: Purim, Esther, Mordecai, Haman, Amalek, covenant warfare, generational consequences, divine reversal, remnant preparation, end-times spiritual conflict.

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. As he begins this teaching, Rabbi Steve Berkson brings out the big guns, challenging you to understand and take action on what you really struggle with – you. • Why do you seem to struggle with your relationships and with yourself? Rabbi Berkson takes us to Philippians 2 to unpack what the Apostle Paul wrote to the assembly in Philippi about how they should conduct themselves in his absence. Paul exhorts those in that assembly to take on the mind of Messiah Yeshua, considering others better than themselves in humility and with awareness of others' needs. • Are you aware that what you do at any given moment may create an adverse condition for somebody else? • Are you giving to others and the Father the kind of attention necessary for a flourishing relationship? • What is meant by “leadership serving” and “submissive serving”? • What are the differences between unity, uniformity, and conforming? • Did Messiah Yeshua or His Apostles ever make the message of the Kingdom “palatable” for their listeners? • We all have our own emotional preferences, but when can those be a bad thing? • Are you the kind of person Yahweh can ‘trust' with forever? • Is there grumbling, complaining, and disputing in the Body of Messiah? Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org

Heaven is Shaking the Bear Iran in Prophecy This Week: The Bear Prince Dobiel and the Scroll Once again, as I'm gathering information and assembling Scripture for such a time as this, there is just enough time to prepare notes for the Shabbat lesson, but not enough time to edit a full newsletter teaching. Perhaps when it is complete, we can put together a transcript for those of you who prefer to read rather than listen. This Shabbat podcasr will be the next installment of Heaven Shaking the Persian Bear in which I plan to explain the pattern of the sky-scroll in Isaiah and Revelation along with a specific power awarded to Dobiel in the symbolic scroll...that could now be broken depending upon the outcome of the current conflict.

This week’s Torah portion from the annual cycle is a major ‘shift’ from the mainline story of the Exodus. After Moses heads up the mountain, for forty days and forty nights, the focus is now on getting ready to build something. And why? Why now? It’s almost like He knows something, before we get to that part of the story. It turns out, there’s even more to it than that. Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at parsha Terumah, Exodus chapter 25 through almost all of 27, which begins with the command from YHVH to “take for Me an OFFERING.” From a specific group of people, of a specific list of items, and for a specific purpose. The Erev Shabbat reading gives the details, of which there are many: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/SSM-2-20-Terumah-teaching-podcast-x.mp3 The impressive level of detail is this description is certainly one of the most memorable aspects of this parsha. It’s also at the heart of what might even be called ‘controversy.’ Why so much detail about a mobile tent in the wilderness? After all, it was later replaced by the temple, twice, and destroyed, twice. Some will again even claim that it’s “Old” testament, and therefore ‘done away with’ – like those temples. We may have even heard it called “boring.” And yet, as Mark reminds us in the Sabbath day midrash, there is “no idle word” in His Torah. Teruman: “That ‘boring DETAIL’ is a Big Flashing Red HTML tag – if we see it” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/WT-CooH-2-21-Terumah-The-ATBASH-around-Idolatry-and-the-Golden-Calf-then-and-Now-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

2 Cor 11:14 “…And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.” PART 1 (LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE MESSAGE HERE).  Satan transforms himself into an angel of light? Did Paul mean this litterally or figuratively. What is Paul talking about here? 1 and 2 Corinthians are letters from Paul to the Church in Corinth. Sadly we only have one side of this conversation, but it is clear that Paul's epistles address known issues within the churches they are written to. I don't believe these 3 verses are aligorical or figurative in nature. I believe these verses may be quite literal including verse 14. with regard to Satan transforming himself into an angel of light. In today's message I am going to give you evidence as to why I believe this is so and why Paul may have even been referring to teachers and “apostles” from or at least connected with the Qumran community as being false teachers and false apostles who were bringing a false message and a false messiah or false Jesus whom Paul (and the other true apostles) did not preach. Then toward the end of this message we will look at examples of where and why I believe this is happening again today especially (and quite sadly) among (SOME OF ) those describing themselves as Torah observant, Hebrew Roots, etc communities which are increasingly endorsing the teachings of the so-called obscure Essenes sect of Judaism and promoting extra biblical writings contained within the corpus of DSS attributed to them and the inhabitants of Qumran. Did the Essenes and/or the inhabitants of Qumran commune with and/or seek out conversations and wisdom from angels. Lets see what some of the extra biblical writings found in the dead sea scrolls say about this.

The Epstein files are forcing at least a few people with “eyes to see” to recognize that there is a level of Evil that goes FAR beyond what most Americans are willing to admit. But it’s nothing new. And yet what is really difficult for even those who recognize that Evil to acknowledge is that the real issue hits still closer to home.

David Justice and Mark Call recap the major new events of the week, and some of the disappointing failures, and outright betrayals. One of them begs the question, if the corrupt Brits can finally even arrest a Royal, why can’t the US manage to arrest at least a few outright traitors? And if the US is willing to go to war in Iran halfway around the world, and risk a nuclear confrontation, to “overthrow the ayatollahs” — why can’t at least take down the ones running the swamp here?

Host Mark Call takes a look back at some of the most important news, with no shortage of commentary, for the week ending 21 February, 2026. And it’s time to admit that what we’re seeing isn’t just merely “Evil.” We’re way, way beyond that…

Hello, everyone. Once again, as I'm gathering information and assembling Scripture for such a time as this, there is just enough time to prepare notes for you this week, but not enough time to edit a full newsletter teaching. Scriptural numbers and dates are lining up with significance to the current situation in Iran faster than I can record and sort them. In this next installment of Heaven Shaking the Persian Bear I plan to explain the pattern of the the Prince of Persia within Daniel and John's visions of the Beast Kingdom.

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. In this teaching, Rabbi Berkson clarifies a couple of things, including the authority given to the husband in Scripture. It seems that some people misinterpreted what Rabbi said in the last teaching, to the point that it could be very troublesome in some marriages. So Rabbi Steve takes the opportunity to give some “Covenant-Live Coaching” for married couples, those looking to be married soon, and those who should not be in an intimate relationship yet, including teenagers. Then, moving into Ephesians chapter 6, Rabbi Berkson addresses the children and “servants”. Which commandment is for the children, and which is the only one with a promise? Could this commandment have a deeper, more far-reaching interpretation? Paul wrote to the fathers not to “provoke” their children…what does this mean? Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org
