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

The Torah portion this week, parsha Terumah, (Exodus/Shemot 25:1-27:19) takes a departure from the narrative of Moshe and the sons of Israel, or mixed multitude now in the wilderness near Mount Sinai, to begin the exposition of something that will play a major role in events that will play out next.

This is the first installment of instructions that begin with “take an offering” (terumah) from every man whose heart makes him willing, to begin the construction of the mishkan, or tabernacle.

The Erev Shabbat overview of the whole parsha :

The Sabbath day teaching this week begins with the concept of the ‘pattern’ that YHVH says He would show Moses. Many who have studied this portion share a similar sentiment, that without being shown, even though the text description is detailed, to actually BUILD the mishkan seems like an almost impossible task.

And the same might be true for dealing with the challenges we face today. Which leads to a common question:

“Terumah: Have We Been Shown the Pattern?”

This week Mark welcomes back special guest Brent Winters, the Common Lawyer, who has a background and expertise that this first show in a set only begins to explore.

Regular listeners understand that the ‘common law’ is a fundamental element of what was the Constitution for these united States. The Declaration of Independence laid out the fundamental, “self-evident Truth” that we have Rights that are given to us by our Creator, and that the purpose of government IS to ‘secure those Rights.’

Join us as Brent lays out the beginning of a much bigger picture.

And one that is fundamental, if we seek to come out of a system that is ‘foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws.’

We can only return if we know what has been lost.

Brent Winters’ books, articles, study guides, and classes may be found at:

Parsha Mishpatim (Exodus/Shemot chapters 22 through 24) is said to contain over 11.5% of all the Mishpatim, or commandments, in the Torah. And it’s now just about the most “politically-INcorrect” of all, too. Which says even more about a society that so hates His Word.

This is the first set of instruction that follows the giving of the ‘Ten Commandments,’ and appears to continue a theme; YHVH brought them – and all of us – out of bondage, and then explains how to build a society, and live in His freedom.

This next installment then follows with a caution about the alternative.

The Erev Shabbat overview of the whole parsha :

There is a warning associated with the Sabbath day ‘deeper look’. Yahushua told us that, evidently speaking of such a time as this, many would be offended, and hate one another (especially for His sake, and Truth), and the love of many would grow cold.

Lately, it almost seems as if that might even be an understatement.

Which turns out to be the point.

“Mishpatim: Through which all the Dots Connect…”

The once-free country, and in fact the whole world, have now reached the point where the level of insanity is just plain undeniable. Deception and chaos are off the charts. And even those most deluded are beginning to suspect that Big Brother just might not have their welfare at heart.

There is a ‘church’ out there that claims to be the ‘bride of christ’ – but acts more like the servant of satan. Is that why there is no ‘power’ in it?

And what about the rest of us? We know we are supposed to “trust in Yah.” But do we, really?

“AmeriKa – A Hissing!”

…and what we need to know about that!

This week Parsha Yitro (Exodus/Shemot chapters 18 through 20) begins with the arrival of Yitro (aka ‘Jethro’) at the camp of the ‘mixed multitude’, along with Moshe’s wife Zipporah and his two sons, but it’s certainly true that the part of the story for which is most famous happens at Mount Sinai.

The Erev Shabbat overview of the whole parsha tells us about Yitro’s arrival, his understanding of the Real Elohim that follows, some excellent advice for his son-in-law, and of course the lead-up and giving of the “Ten Debarim,” (words, sayings, commandments):

Mark again asks a couple of question to set up the Sabbath day midrash:

What belongs to US? What is His? And what ever happened to these ‘Ten Commandments’?

And the answer, for reasons that will be made clear, has to do with exactly where we are today, spiritually, and prophetically.

“Yitro: Permitted Reach – and Beyond, Biden and Ahab”

]We have been warned, ‘do NOT be deceived.’

But, in a nation and indeed a world which long ago not only ‘forgot Him’ but turned its back on him…it is now far more than JUST the Big Lies.

We saw it this week.

“It’s not JUST the Lies…”

After the completion of the plagues of Egypt, the ‘Exodus’ itself of the ‘mixed multitude’ continues with Parsha B’shalach (Exodus/Shemot 13:17-17:16), from Pharoah, and his ‘tyranny’.

And, without question, this parsha contains the seeds of so many elements that highlight the rest of Scripture.

The Erev Shabbat overview of the whole parsha:

Mark again has to ask a question to set up the Sabbath day midrash:

We’ve heard the ‘central command’ of Moses phrased this way a thousand times, “Let my people GO!”

So, why is the title of this parsha, and the better translation of what REALLY happened, that what came to pass was not just when Pharaoh had done merely that, but had SENT THEM OUT, “shalach-ed’ ’em”? And, THEN, just to make sure they didn’t decide to head right back INTO Egypt and bondage, He brought ’em the long way around, instead of the obvious shortcut?

Certainly, the central theme of the story is so we – all – will know, “ki ani YHVH” – that “I AM Yahuah”. But the word used here for what happened is not simply “let’em go,” but that he SENT them out. And YHVH was very clear, even in the setup, about what must occur.

Here, too, the lesson not only echoes through the centuries, but should strike us, today, particularly, with just how important that distinction is.

“B’Shalach: Deep Fakes, Deception, and Demons”

One of the biggest psyops in human history, outside, perhaps, of Genesis 3, is being exposed now.

Or – at least the “limited hangout” part is.

This is a special show that only STARTS there, and then tries to go places that have been topics before, but never quite like this…

…when ‘science’ starts looking too much like magic.

What Has Man Got that AI Don’t?

The story of the plagues of Egypt and the Exodus continues with Parsha Bo (Exodus/Shemot 10:1 – 13:16).

Much of the story is familiar, but this week the final ‘set of three’ plagues concludes, setting up the finale, with the ‘Death of the Firstborn,’ and more importantly, the Passover event that we are to remember, and teach our children, forever.

The Erev Shabbat overview of the whole parsha tells us WHY, more than once, this is so important:

Mark has to ask a question to set up the Sabbath day midrash: With the whole world poised on the brink of nuclear conflagration – arguably at a more dangerous point than any of us have EVER seen in any of our lives – why are we talking about an event, and a feast to commemorate it, that happened so many thousands of years ago?

And the answer, for reasons that will be clear, but may sound a bit familiar anyway, is that understanding His “signs,” and the reasons for them – not just then, but ESPECIALLY now, have never been more vital.

The judgments on the fake gods of modern Egypt are just as real, but His point hasn’t changed, and neither has He.

He “put a difference” between those who were His that first time. But those who became the ‘mixed multitude’ had to make a choice to do so.

“Bo: Signs Memorials and Circumcision “

Most people just don’t understand how central, and absolutely VITAL, “Trust” is to a society, and ultimately to “civilization.”

We trust that we can buy food, or hold the door for a stranger at a market, without getting a knife in our rib for our trouble. Once, we could trust to the point that we didn’t even need to lock our doors at night.

How far we’ve fallen on that score.

And how much further there is to go. When trust is completely destroyed, so is everything we new as community, and more.

Join host Mark Call for a look at what the implications are of what has ALREADY been done, and what that means for us, now.
