Hebrew Nation Online | Come Out of Her My People – Mark Call

In just over a week, the incompetence and perfidy surrounding the botched “Epstein Hoax” has become as big a threat to the new administration as another assassination attempt. But it smells more like suicide.

Host Mark Call suggests that the latest “Trump 180” is in fact so jarring that it’s almost plausible to believe the man who ran so effectively for President on a platform antithetical to what has been happening lately is some type of body double, or AI replacement.

And whatever the Truth might be, it sure looks like something big has come apart at the seams. There are vital considerations at play now:

“From Complacency to Disillusionment – in less than 6 Months”

This week’s annual Torah cycle reading is parsha “Chukat,” (Numbers 22:2-25:9) and represents a unique shift from the story of the mixed multitude “in the wilderness” to that of a pagan king who – much like Pharoah before the Exodus – is afraid of the people now lead by Moses.

And it’s a story that is part comedy, part prophecy, and a large part Today’s Headlines.

The Erev Shabbat reading:

The Sabbath Day midrash begins where the story leaves off. Can a nation once undeniably blessed manage to curse itself?

The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

The annual cycle Torah reading for this week is parsha “Chukat,” Numbers chapters 19 through 21) and it contains what is sometimes called the most enigmatic “chuq” (or, “do this because He says so”) in the Torah: the Red Heiffer, or parah adumah. Even Solomon is thought to have said he just didn’t quite get it.

The Erev Shabbat reading:

The Sabbath Day midrash tackles that Greatest Mystery head on. But, even more interesting, what might be the SECOND most mysterious ‘chuq’ in the Torah is in this same parsha! The “bronze serpent” (but the Hebrew term is much more alliterative: ‘nachash nachoshet’) – aka the ‘snake on a stick.’

There is a common thread that runs through this entire portion, too. Actually, several, but all evidently related: Death. And some important numbers. And water, in multiple ways, and ‘salvation.’ But still one more that Mark suggests, which may even help explain some of the confusion, is “I blame Moses.”

The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

This week is a bit of a ‘change of pace,’ but for an important reason.

There has been so much concern and churn of late about everything from economic meltdown and domestic terrorism from embedded invader cells, to outright nuclear war, that host Mark Call suggests that those who really want to understand what is REALLY going on should ask some pointed questions.

Such as, if the goal of “peaceful nuclear power” really is safe, efficient electricity for people, why are certain important technologies that can actually solve problems (not to be confused with NOT-‘green’ and not remotely ‘renewable’ non-solution placebos like “wind”) not even discussed? Much less emphasized.

Perhaps the other agenda (or agendaS, even!) is obvious.

It’s time to talk just a bit of ‘real science.’

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa Fellowship for a two-part study of the Torah parsha reading for this week, is “Korach,” (Numbers chapters 16 through 18) and the infamous rebellion which bears that name.

The Erev Shabbat reading:

By now, perhaps it should be no surprise that Scripture sets the stage for events in the world. And, “rightly divided,” also reveals when passages have been “twisted,” or even inverted to suit the ‘prince of this world, and his big-brother servants.

The story of Korach is about a rebellion. To Moses, specifically, but certainly to YHVH as well. And the story proves that point conclusively. But, still,

Aren’t there more subtle issues when the question of ‘rebellion’ isn’t so clear-cut, and when it’s not so blatantly obvious that the rebellion is against His anointed? Israel, after all, has had bad kings, who “did evil in the sight of YHVH.” Yet, most still claim to be doing “God’s work,” but it just may not be obvious which ‘god.’

Is there a way to be sure?

The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

Host Mark Call received a call from Daniel Holdings this week about a subject not only on both of their minds, but probably many listeners as well: Israel.

And what we should know, and remember, about what Scripture has to say.

Senator Ted Cruz, speaking to Tucker Carlson, and arguing for WW3, seemed to be “Scripturally-illiterate” on the subject. But far too many ‘sun-day xtians’ have been taught the same “lies, inherited from our fathers.”

Join Mark Call and special guest Daniel Holdings as they discuss what Scripture actually says about “Israel,” and what far too many have never been encouraged to study for themselves.

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:

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:

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?

The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

No nuclear war mushroom clouds YET…

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.

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:

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.

The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

The message of the show has always been contained in the title, from Revelations 18:4.

But this week, it’s a short-term focus:

“Things are coming to a head.”

Be ready.
