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

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at what he claims is one of the most fascinating Torah portions in the whole Book, not only because of the variety of topics it covers, but the fact that they are so, let’s face it, HATED by much of society. Not only are they NOT ‘politically-correct,’ but the fact that so many of them ARE so rejected, he argues, helps explain why the “social justice-loving,” humanistic, Progressive Pagan system that has replaced His Word is such an UTTER, undeniable, even Satanic, MESS. The Erev Shabbat reading of the parsha, with some poignant commentary: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/SSM-2-13-Mishpatim-teaching-only-podcast-xxx.mp3 There is a whole lot that could be said about the Sabbath Day midrash and commentary. But, this time, it will simply be more expedient to suggest — listen to it, pray, and make up your own mind.

News and commentary for Thursday, 12 February, 2026.

This week Mark welcomes special guest Sam Andrews to the show for the first time. Sam has an amazing background and skill set, having worked as a strategic planner for the Department of War, and served his country overseas “out of uniform” as a contractor, then having worked as an engineer and expert in the design of firearms and ammunition, and doing training as well, for various agencies. He continues to do that now via his own business, Freedom Center USA, in Lebanon, Missouri, and in addition has expertise in health, which he applies to his wife’s business selling peptides. Sam’s website is FreedomTrain.net, where he provides information and training, and where he builds sophisticated custom small arms. Host Mark Call notes up front that he found no shortage of topics to talk about with Sam, ranging from faith to firearms, and in areas as varied as flying to ham radio, and, perhaps not surprisingly, to where we are now as a society, and what that means.

David Justice and Mark Call discuss the events of the week, and some of the increasing number of ways in which even the Deception is reaching “Biblical Proportions.”

Mark Call’s summary of the news and commentary for the week ending 14 February, 2026. You might have thought by now that some of the lessons would be obvious…

Drawing on her personal experience—her father's time in federal prison—and academic research at Oxford, Abby offers a theologically rich critique of retributive justice models prevalent in the U.S. prison system. She explains how biblical justice prioritizes restoration and dignity rather than dehumanization, citing key themes such as the Shema and imago Dei. Abby shares firsthand accounts from interviews with incarcerated individuals, exposing everyday indignities—from food labeled “not for human consumption” to being stripped of identity and reduced to a number. With over 80% recidivism in the U.S., Abby points to countries like Norway where restorative practices and the “principle of normalcy” have dramatically reduced reoffense. The episode challenges listeners to rethink what justice should look like through a biblical lens: not just punishment, but humanizing correction rooted in love. It's a conversation that bridges theology, criminology, and real human stories—urging the church to see prisoners not as disposable, but as image-bearers.

The Everyday Judaism podcast's "Ask Away" series, episode 30, hosted by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH in Houston, features live audience questions on practical Jewish life, ethics, and halacha. Rabbi Wolbe addresses concerns like dealing with someone who studies Torah mockingly (advocating kindness, caution in associations, and seeking exemplary teachers who live their teachings), dignified eating habits (avoiding oversized bites for modesty, per halachic guidelines), clarifying biblical details from Egypt (Egyptians' gifts post-plagues), and antisemitism as a divine wake-up call to embrace Judaism and await Moshiach for restored favor among nations.Other topics include Argentina's Chief Rabbi's reaffirmation of a century-old ban on local conversions (requiring them to be performed in Israel for validity, rooted in historical takanah to prevent insincere or intermarriage-driven cases), intermarriage scenarios (halacha prioritizes authentic commitment to mitzvot over "love," with rare exceptions where conversion strengthens observance), ethical business dilemmas (avoid or exit unscrupulous environments to protect one's integrity), and practical halachot like changing "Magdil" to "Migdal" in bentching on Shabbat/Musaf days, sipping wine slowly (not gulping, except at the Seder where it's paced), geniza burial for sacred items with Hashem's name, and teaching children with heartfelt love (linking "lev" in Shema to emotional education).Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes introspection over blame amid global challenges, the power of mitzvot to build character (e.g., overcoming urges), and the warmth of community Torah study even in freezing Houston weather.

News and commentary for Monday, 9 February, 2026.

Love and Torah—what's the link? This series explores the “Two Great Commands’: loving Yahweh and loving your neighbor. Building on Ephesians 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson starts with verse 18, discussing “emotional preferences” and how they can either help or hinder your walk in Torah. Moving to verse 22, he encourages husbands and wives to understand the roles of marriage as outlined by Elohim. Rabbi Berkson carefully analyzes these passages to deepen your understanding of what Yahweh expects, guiding you to fulfill these expectations and receive His blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app Follow MTOI: 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: Provoking the Bear This Shabbat we'll examine the provocation of the bear as found in the Scriptures concerning Elisha, the restoration of life springs in Jericho, the mocking boys, and the death of forty-two by the tearing she-bears. We'll see how it might pertain to the present situation in Iran, and time permitting, how the Persian bear and Roman board are related.

Title: Shema Part 2: Hearing Without HeedingScripture Reading: Deuteronomy 6:4-5Series: ShemaWhy is hearing God's word often easier than truly obeying it? Chaplain Bob Turner explores the deep command found in the Shema: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one." Using the tragic 1986 Challenger disaster as a stark parallel, Bob's message contrasts simply hearing a critical warning versus actively heeding it, which had fatal consequences. The scripture commands us to love God completely—with all our heart, soul, and strength. While total depravity means we are naturally unable to meet this perfect standard, God, through the finished work of Christ, enables us to respond with perfect love. Our divine purpose is wrapped up entirely in this command to love God totally. This response is not a burdensome chore, but an invitation into the most fulfilling relationship possible with our loving Creator.

When the ‘mixed multitude’ comes to Mount Sinai it is clear that another major milestone is at hand, and — as we know it will emerge — another turning point has been reached. But this is set up by several major events documented by this week’s parsha (Yitro, Exodus chapters 18 through 20). Moses’ father-in-law, Yitro (as he is called in this part of Scripture) hears a part of the story, comes to the wilderness, and brings Moshe back his wife, Zipporah, and his two sons. There he hears the “rest of the story,” recognizes YHVH himself, and offers sage advice. In that process, the mixed multitude becomes ‘echad’ as Israel. And one of the most important “downloads” from YHVH Himself follows after that stage is set: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/SSM-2-6-Yitro-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 Any reading that includes the ‘Ten Commandments’ certainly must include a look at the specifics. But in the midrash this week, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship suggests that the ‘setup’ that precedes that historic Exposition can help us understand why what Scripture refers to as those ten “Debarim,” or Words, even ‘Sayings,’ have been so…idolized, re-formatted, marginalized, edited, twisted, and, almost unbelievably, even demonized over the intervening centuries. And, as Mark also notes, by men who failed Yitro’s metric: they seem to not only LOVE ‘unjust gain,’ certainly more than Truth, because they don’t “fear YHVH” either. And “reducing His Name to nothingness,” or void, is just one undeniable indication. Many of us have heard the claim that the “law is done away with” — which Mark calls one of the Biggest Lies in Human history — but there is a corollary that crops up this week, which is the claim that the “Ten Commandments” may be the only part that still matters. Well, some of ’em, anyway… Yitro: “Hate Unjust Gain” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/WT-CooH-2-7-Yitro-Hate-UNJUST-gain-essence-of-the-Ten-Debarim-and-other-INSTRUCTION-Still-Extant-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

The Shema teaches us who our God is, and who God is demands a response—love. There is no greater command than the command to love God with all our heart, soul, and might. All other obedience and worship flow from our love for God. In the final message in this series, Pastor Jess Miller unpacks what it means for us to love God and then points us to Jesus, the only man who perfectly loved God from his heart.

At the heart of this message lies one of Scripture's most profound prayers—the Shema from Deuteronomy 6. We're invited to explore what it truly means to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and how this ancient command connects directly to our spiritual vitality today. The soul isn't just something we possess; it's the very essence of who we are—the breath of life that connects us to our Creator. When we understand that our soul is the target of the gospel and the component that links us eternally to God, everything changes. The message challenges us with a powerful framework for spiritual health, revealing how the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—naturally flows from a soul deeply rooted in God's Word. The compelling research shared demonstrates that engaging Scripture just four times per week creates transformative results: decreased anger, bitterness, and anxiety, alongside increased generosity, discipleship, and spiritual vitality. This isn't about religious duty or checking boxes; it's about abiding with the Father who breathed life into us. We're offered a practical pathway forward—a year-long journey through Scripture that promises genuine life change. The question becomes: are we ready to invest less than 20 minutes a day to let God's Word reshape our souls from the inside out?

NOTE: this is a repeat of the 2016 interview. I did with Rabbi Jonathan Bernis.Rabbi Jonathan is the founding Rabbi of my home congregation, Congregation Shema Yisrael in Rochester, New York. Jonathan has been a leader in the Messianic Jewish community for more than 30 years. He has authored numerous books and has planted communities all over the world. Rabbi Jonathan currently serves as the President and CEO of Jewish Voice Ministries International (JVMI).Jonathan resides in the Los Angeles area with his wife, Elisangela, and their two daughters. He has a heart for Los Angeles and is excited to see Jewish and interfaith families thrive in the Heritage Community!

If there’s a single phrase that seems to capture the theme of the last week’s news, it must be ‘widespread satanic attack.’ And more and more people are starting to realize not only that the ‘conspiracy theorists’ have been right for a long, long time — they may have been soft-pedaling the truth. But that is still largely ignored by the lying WasteStream Media. Instead, “all is well” – except, obviously, when it comes to the White House. So it’s quite a feat to accomplish. But – just about EVERYTHING being pushed, even when it’s double-mindedly contradictory, is a lie.

David Justice and Mark Call discuss the events of the week.

Host Mark Call wraps up the news for the week ending 7 Febuary, 2026, with no shortage of commentary and perspective on the otherwise almost unbelievable level of Pure Evil being revealed. And more than a bit of manipulation, on every front, too!

News and commentary for Wednesday, 4 February, 2026.

Josh sits down with Jeremiah to unpack all things "Shema" as we kick off this new series on the Essence of Discipleship. This "podcast" style interview was originally recorded as a snow-out option in case we were unable to gather for church on Sunday (2/1/2026). However, we felt like the commentary and insight Jeremiah provided in this interview paired well with his teaching on Sunday. You can listen to Sunday's sermon here on our website, as well as on our Sunday sermon podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Have you been praying the Lord's Prayer all wrong? We sit down with Brad Gray and Brad Nelson from Walking The Text to discuss their book Bringing Heaven Here and their cinematic feature film on the Lord's Prayer. And trust us, this isn't your Sunday school recap.Our conversation explores the historical, geographical, and biblical context of the most familiar prayer in Christian theology, revealing layers you've probably never noticed: Exodus connections, first-century Jewish cosmology, the kingdom of God as spiritual warfare, and why Jesus structured this prayer as the blueprint for kingdom living.Turns out, the Lord's Prayer isn't just something to recite—it's a declaration of war against the forces of darkness and a daily roadmap for partnering with God's mission on earth.We explore how "Our Father in the heavens" (yes, that's plural!) connects to ancient Israelite cosmology, why the kingdom of God is the heartbeat of Jesus's ministry, and how every line of this prayer maps onto Christ's life and mission. We'll also tackle spiritual warfare from a biblical perspective, challenging both hyper-charismatic extremes and the dangerous denial that evil is real. If you've ever felt stuck between "there's a demon behind every bush" and "spiritual warfare isn't really a thing," this episode will recalibrate your understanding.Plus, we get into the nerdy stuff: the Didache's instruction to pray this three times a day, the connection between the Shema and daily prayer rhythms, how liturgy functions as operating software for the soul, and why the Sermon on the Mount is structured with the Lord's Prayer at its center. If you've been treating the Lord's Prayer like a religious formality, prepare to have your mind blown. This is about joining Jesus in the mission of bringing heaven to earth—pushing out chaos, advancing God's rule and reign, and living with eyes wide open to the war unfolding around us.0:00 – Introduction5:35 – Why create a book on the Lord's Prayer8:34 – The Lord's Prayer as blueprint for life14:24 – How the prayer condenses Jesus's ministry23:16 – "Our Father" and the Exodus 4 connection31:38 – "In the Heavens": Ancient Jewish cosmology44:54 – Spiritual warfare and advancing God's kingdom55:46 – Resources and closingABOUT THE GUESTS:

News and commentary for Tuesday, 3 February, 2026.

Love and Torah—what's the connection? This series is based on the “Two Great Commands’: loving Yahweh and loving your neighbor. Continuing with Ephesians 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson highlights how Messiah Yeshua clarified the scriptural meaning of “love your neighbor as yourself” by adding, “love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12). What does it truly mean to be ‘walking in darkness’? How can Yahweh see that you hold Him in importance? What institution has He given us that serves as a model for these relationships? How are love and time interconnected, and what exactly is a “generational curse”? Rabbi Steve shares several personal stories to illustrate common issues we all face as we navigate our vertical and horizontal relationships. Once again, Rabbi Berkson breaks down these passages to deepen your understanding of what Yahweh expects so you can fulfill 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 admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org

News and commentary for Monday, 2 February, 2026.

Continuation from last week...

Send us a textStart with a hard question: when Jesus prays, who is He talking to? We take that question straight to Scripture and uncover a clear pattern across the birth of Christ, His baptism, the transfiguration, Gethsemane, and His ongoing intercession. The threads converge on one reality: the Bible presents one God in three distinct persons, and that clarity is not a technicality—it safeguards the meaning of prayer, obedience, the cross, and salvation itself.We walk through the relational language of the New Testament—Father sending the Son, the Son obeying and saying not my will, but yours, and the Spirit descending and regenerating—and explain why these are not theatrical roles but real personal distinctions within the unity of God. That frame unlocks the power of mediation. A mediator stands between parties. First Timothy 2:5 calls Jesus the man Christ Jesus, mediator between God and men, while Hebrews and 1 John describe His intercession and advocacy with the Father. These terms lose force if the Son is merely the Father in disguise. They gain depth when the Son, truly God and truly man, presents His finished work to the Father on our behalf.We also map the triune pattern of salvation: the Father elects, the Son redeems, the Spirit regenerates and sanctifies. This is the living choreography behind every conversion, a single divine will enacted inseparably by three persons, each acting according to personal properties. Even the Old Testament prepares us for this unity-in-distinction: the Shema's confession of one Lord, the Elohim language of Genesis, and the Angel of the Lord and Name theology hint at plurality-in-unity fulfilled in Christ and the Spirit. Far from puzzle-box religion, this is the Bible's straightforward witness that preserves the gospel's center.If this conversation helps you see Scripture's coherence more clearly, share it with a friend, subscribe for future deep dives, and leave a review telling us the passage that most clarified the Trinity for you.

Act II of ‘the Exodus’ (parsha ‘Beshalach,” Exodus/Shemot 13:17 through chapter 17) begins immediately after the last of the plagues, when Pharoah has let the people go; actually – kicked them out, “shalach”, or expelled, is how the Hebrew puts it. And it certainly is the beginning of a whole new phase in the saga. But that central theme of how we are all to know that “ki ani YHVH” – or “I AM Yahuah” – not only continues, but is demonstrated: Graphically, undeniably, and miraculously. As the Erev Shabbat reading outlines: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/SSM-1-30-26-Beshalach-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 In the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship observes that there are several specific places — and ALL of them PRIOR to the giving of the “Ten Commandments” at Mt. Sinai — where YHVH gives not only a “statute and an ordinance,” but detailed “instruction” (aka ‘torah’). Which is a problem for the “Whore Church” claim that it is only the ‘Ten Commandments’ that still matter — all those others were just for a limited time, or for ‘the jews’, or for any number of constructed excuses for not recognizing what He means when He said that He did not come to change so much as the tiniest bit of His Instruction, any of it, so long as heaven and earth still exist. If we claim to “love Him,” it matters. Beshalach: “And ALL of this is Before Sinai” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/WT-CooH-1-31-26-Beshalach-ALL-Before-Sinai-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

Dee grew up in a non- Jewish home and fell in love with the Jewish root of her faith and the Jewish people many years ago. She encountered the Lord many times, from being rescued from a harmful marriage, to being healed of cancer several times, and even when she had an out of body experience. She loves to share her joy of the Lord with anyone who will listen. I know you will enjoy this interview with a very sweet woman who loves the Lord!

In this Parshas Beshalach review, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe focuses on the splitting of the Red Sea—the ultimate miracle of the Exodus—and its profound lessons for daily life. The parsha recounts the Jewish people's escape from Egypt, Nachshon's leap of faith into the raging waters (reaching his nostrils before the sea split), and the dry land amid the sea.The rabbi contrasts two phrasings in the Torah: "they crossed in the midst of the sea on dry land" vs. "they walked on dry land amid the raging sea." This teaches that we must recognize miracles even within chaos—the world is always a "raging sea" of challenges, yet Hashem provides dry land (miracles) constantly. Failing to notice open miracles (e.g., recent Israeli survivals despite missiles) makes ordinary miracles fade into routine.Everything is from Hashem: health, livelihood (manna-like), technology (discoveries, not inventions), and survival. We must live with awe—never let miracles become ordinary. Daily mitzvot (Shema, blessings, Shabbos) remind us of the Exodus and Hashem's constant hand. The rabbi urges gratitude for life itself ("life is the miracle, not death") and seeing the divine in all creation._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 27, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on January 30, 2026_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

Mark Call had scheduled an interview for the show this week, but — thanks to microShaft and what they did to Skype, now “Teams,” that was a total disaster, with no audio. So, in it’s place – this is the news summary for a week where a similar point is pretty clear:

Mark Call summarizes the news, with commentary, for the week ending January 31st, 2026, where it became increasingly clear that a ‘bought-and-paid for’ Communist “color revolution” is well under way, with lyin’ WasteStream Media support, but where enough truth still managed to come out to give those who know what form of government we were supposed to have at least some hope. NOTE: Mark Call had scheduled an interview for the “Come out of her” Show this week, but — thanks to microShaft and what they did to Skype, now “Teams,” that was a total disaster, with no audio. So, this same podcast has been put in place there, since this is the news summary for a week where a similar point is pretty clear:

David Justice and Mark Call take a look back at some of the major events of the week just past.
