This week we begin the reading and study of the Book of Vayikra, or Leviticus, with chapters 1 through 5.
And, sadly, this is one of those Books where some folks just hear the name (‘Leviticus’) and their eyes begin to glaze over; “it’s SO boring,” and “what difference does it make anyway?”
Which is the best reason you’ll hear to take an honest look at what it really says, why it matters NOW, more than ever, and why we have been lied to so thoroughly about all of it. Because you can’t understand the real Messiah, or recognize the fakes, without understanding what we have almost certainly NOT been taught!
Starting with the overview, and reading, to understand a bit of that distinction:
The Sabbath day in-depth ‘midrash’ picks up with that vital distinction. And, WARNING:
This will upset some folks, because John had it right. (I John chapter 2)
He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
And that describes accurately what Mark Call refers to as BOTH the ‘Whore Church,” and the “Whore Synagogue.” And this is where it will be made very clear why that is not only accurate, but vital to understand.
Yes, many if not most of us who have attended the vast majority of ‘denominational churches’ have probably heard the term “Old” Testament, and one of the Biggest Lies in all of history: that somehow “Jesus did away with the Law,” or “nailed it to the cross,” so nothing the Bible says about “sacrifices” matters any more. Could it be that there is something vitally important that is missing?
This week those “battle lines” became ever more clear.
Vayikra: AI-dolatry — When Does Mere Ignorance Become Outright Rebellion to YHVH?
The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:
This has been an incredible week. And not only have the ‘gloves come off’ about the intent of the Deep State to complete the destruction of the Republic, they’re doing it on multiple fronts. EXACTLY as we should have expected.
The “Great Reset” is only part of the story. The Judicial “Coup d’etat” is the coup de grace.
“The power to dictate what the Constitution means is the power to declare it means nothing.”
The Torah reading called “Pekudei” (for the “accounts” that summarized the making of the ‘mishkan,’ or Tabernacle in the Wilderness, from Exodus 38:10 through the end of the Book) is the final parsha the the opening saga of the Exodus.
And while the story has only really begun at that point, it’s an inspired summary of what mattered then, and still does: the phrase “as YHVH commanded Moshe [Moses]” is repeated eighteen times in this parsha alone, and the level of repeated detail on the work the ‘mixed multitude’ did together is, in large measure, also repeated, but with a change of tense: that which they were TOLD to do, they, and Moses, DID — and, again, “as YHVH commanded Moshe.”
There is clearly a message there.
While most of us who have attended the vast majority of ‘denominational churches’ have probably heard the term “Old” Testament, and even that “the Law” was somehow away with later, as if it no longer applies, and what matters instead is the ‘spirit’ that is in our hearts, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa suggests we had better understand the MANY other admonitions in Scripture, including warnings from Shaul, or Paul, that have been twisted. He starts with a look at the First Letter Paul wrote to the Corinthians, and chapter 3. But it is undeniable, to those with “eyes to see,” that the ReNewed Covenant, in places like Jeremiah 31:31 is not quite what most of us have been taught, either.
As we see the battle lines being drawn in a world which has largely rejected the True Messiah in favor of “another jesus whom we have NOT preached,” Mark suggests it has never been more important not only that we know WHICH Spirit is “holy” and how to know, but that we understand why what “Yahuah commanded Moshe” is still the Foundation — just as Yahushua HaMashiach, the Messiah, said, and taught. He never changed so much as a “yod or tiddle.”
And He summarized it all simply, too: “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”
Which? All of ’em. The ones He Wrote, and Taught, and has never changed.
If we are now to be His “temple,” and His Holy Spirit is to dwell within our hearts, we need to understand what that really means.
The Erev Shabbat Reading of the entire portion:
Pekudei: As YHVH Commanded Moshe – so we still had better DO
The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:
The no-longer-united States have never seen such a barrage of dictatorial “rulings” by black-robed tyrants who hate the Constitution almost as much as they hate the God of the Bible.
Did the actually-elected President promise to send Tren de Aragua terrorists back to Venezuelan prisons? “NO!” says an appointed DC “judge.” “I want them back!”
Did the Commander-in-Chief, as promised, reverse the militarily-suicidal policy of subsidizing mentally-incapacitated “transgenders” to disrupt unit cohesion? “NO!” says a Communist Karen, who believes SHE is more fit to command the nation’s armed services than the man who was actually elected.
If you’re not angry about idiocy being re-asserted over the concept of a national election, you aren’t paying attention.
But there is more going on here. Join Mark Call for a look at what the Far, FAR Left is really intent on accomplishing. If we fall for it.
This may be one of the most important – and certainly controversial – teachings that Mark Call, of Shabbat Shalom Mesa Fellowship has done. Because it hits at the very heart of what “Come out of her, My people,” is about.
Parsha “Ki Tisa” (Exodus chapters 30 through 34) includes on of the most infamous tragedies in the Bible – the story of the ‘Golden Calf,’ and Moses’ subsequent throwing down and destruction of the first set of tablets, engraved with the very ‘finger of YHVH.’ And that, too, is symbolic of what has been done by the mob that “assembled” or “gathered” against Aaron ever since!
The Erev Shabbat reading of the portion includes some of the vital context for the story that often tends to be overlooked, given the drama that follows:
What is less well-understood is that the entire context of that story reflects on what another “assembly” (or, even ‘ecclesia’ for those that have heard the Greek term) has done almost universally, over and over again, throughout history. And still continues.
The Sabbath Day midrash addresses the ‘twisting’ that Kefa/Peter talked about (II Peter 3:15-16) and how, in particular, Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians has been almost completely “turned on its head,” as is seem by a look at this story, and the context of chapter 3 of that Book.
“Ki Tisa: What Exactly IS Abolished? And which Assembly, which ‘Annointed One’?”
If you find this valuable, or even shocking – please share it. As the Bible makes clear, it really is a matter of life and death.
Both segments are combined here:
This week host Mark Call welcomes back special Guest Harmon Taylor, of Legal Reality, for a discussion of the first six weeks of the new Trump Administration, and in particular, some of the implications of what may finally be a ‘turn-around’ against what he calls “anti-Scriptural morality.”
DOGE, for example, is uncovering incredible amounts of graft, bribery, corruption, and outright treason. And yet, the implications of AI, and the use of tracking technology for what certainly appear to be “good purposes,” are also “fraught with peril.”
Likewise, an attack on “Lawfare,” and the corruption of the court system beyond all reason, but by means of admittedly encouraging use of “executive power” (Article II of the cnostitution) is encouraging, since it moves in the right direction, and helps to “open peoples’ eyes” to the level of Evil we have been subjected to, but is still a “double-edged sword.”
The implications are both encouraging, and a strong warning. Don’t miss this discussion!
Parsha “Tetzaveh” (Exodus 27:10 – 30:10) continues the description of elements associated with the still-to-be-built ‘tabernacle in the wilderness,’ this time beginning with the priestly garments for Aaron and his sons.
The Erev Shabbat Reading begins with “command” them to make oil for the menorah, and then continues through the sanctification of the ‘cohenim’:
The Sabbath Day midrash concerns a conjunction of events, both historic and current, and associated readings. And as seems to so often be the case, there’s more than just coincidence evidently at work now.
One of the obvious, and stated, purposes of the garments created “for splendor and for beauty,” to be worn by the cohenim (priests) was that they be “set apart” to serve YHVH. And the golden inscription on Aaron’s forehead said, “Holy to YHVH.” The fact that such a priesthood no longer exists only makes the contrast more clear.
But several events this week really brought that home.
By almost any Scriptural measure, what we now have instead looks like an “anti-priesthood,” set apart not to YHVH, but His “Adversary.”
And an honest reading of Scripture is “uncomfortably clear” on those implications.
Note: The midrash mentions a related look at the story of Esther, and the ‘Purim’ holiday, which was an element of Mark’s observations in the “Come out of her, My people” Show this week:
“Come out of her, My people” Show ~ Mark Call weekly
This week a speech on the floor of the chamber of the US House of Representatives revealed more than just what has been accomplished now that the nation again has an elected President:
Those who hate this republic, and its citizenry, and have sought to destroy both, are more than just “political enemies.”
And the key lies in understanding what the Bible says about “Amalek.”
Join Mark Call as he suggests that there is a LOT more to the parallels in Scripture than even just ‘irrational hatred.’
Parsha “Terumah” (Exodus 25:1 – 27:19) is a major change of pace from the story of the plagues, and the Exodus from bondage in Egypt.
While Moses is evidently still up on the mountain, he is told by YHVH to take an ‘offering’ (terumah) from those with willing hearts. And then follows a description of specifically what, and what it is for.
The Erev Shabbat Reading:
The level of detail in the parsha this week, and even subsequently, is almost an enigma: It is almost overwhelming, and yet were it not for the fact that Moses is told that he is being shown a ‘pattern,’ or “blueprint,” it is pretty evident that what is being described could probably not be built.
And it must be done by the effort of the ‘skillful workman,’ besides. Later, we’re even told that those tasked with that work must even be guided by the very Ruach Elohim, or Spirit of YHVH.
Many of us, because this is the “Olde” Testament, after all, have probably heard that anything associated with the ‘tabernacle’ (or later temple) is superfluous now, and even “done away with.”
Or it’s just ‘spiritualized’ – perhaps even with a bit too much hand-waving.
So, even the level of detail included is just not enough, in the sense of being able to completely understand the design…
There’s something very telling about that.
The combined two-part reading and Sabbath day midrash is here:
It’s hard to deny that with actual leadership in place, perhaps for the first time in many of our lives, things may appear to look pretty good. And, certainly, optimism abounds.
Yet one thing is certain: the Deep State will eventually Strike Back. And the potential avenues for Wickedness are Legion.
So how does that modify our understanding of what “Come out of her,” means now?
