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

The parsha this week may be one of the most ‘appropriately named’ in the Torah, because ‘chukat’ may be translated as “statute,” but it REALLY means, “do this because I say so!”

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha ‘Chukat’ (Numbers chapters 19 through 22:1).

The Erev Shabbat reading and outline of the parsha includes some of the most significant “life and death” issues in the Torah. Which is more than ironic.

Nor only ia best way to understand the concept of a ‘chuq’ to “do this because I say so,” but as Mark outlines in the Sabbath Day teaching, that is precisely the underlying theme to the entire parsha. And that is precisely why life and death are, too.

The combined two-part podcast is here:

The level of Evil being manifest in literally every aspect of society today – from economic self-immolation to mass murder – is now beyond denial, except perhaps from Criminally-Negligent Networks.

Which means there are some specifics that those with “eyes to see” had better be thinking about, and praying about, NOW.

So:

“Let’s Talk Tactical…”

The parsha this week from the annual Torah cycle is all about one of the first (outside the Garden, perhaps) and most famous acts of “rebellion” in the Book. And it just – OH, so coincidentally! – happens to fall right on the 248th anniversary, on the Roman calendar, of the most important revolution in “the OTHER direction” in our own history!

No less importantly, it also falls on the ‘cusp’ of the greatest contest since between “Tyranny and Liberty,” or, a bit more bluntly, those who serve Yah and those who truly despise Him. If there was ever a time to understand what “rebellion” is, and is NOT, it is now.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha ‘Korach’ (Numbers chapters 16 through 18).

The Erev Shabbat reading and outline of the parsha begins with the names, and genealogy, of the “men of name, or renown,” who fomented that rebellion, and died — uniquely — for it. And it sets up all that follows.

The Sabbath Day teaching really is “a study in contrasts.” It must, of course, start with the question of rebellion, and to Whom.

But this is a time of cusp: so many cycles, plans, prophecies, and, yes, conspiracies, coming together to produce a “climax of truly Biblical proportions.” Our own history is screaming a lesson.

And all of this points to another question as well. If “Korach’s Rebellion” merited a “new thing” to serve as a sign and a lesson ever since, why isn’t the ground swallowing truly Evil people – en masse – today?

The combined two-part podcast is here:

For quite some time now, the once-free united States have been ‘goose-stepping’ toward outright Tyranny.

But since the Plandemic, the orchestrated supply chain collapse, the rigged ‘election’, the open invasion across the southern border, and the undeniable moves towards civil and world war, the march has become a gallop.

As we head into “Independence Day Weekend,” join Mark Call for a look at the contrasts between “self-evident Truths” that once formed the basis for our Rule of Law, and the Fourth Reich.

As we come into the weekend when some Americans will still remember what it means to celebrate Independence from “Tyranny,” it is the CONTRAST which Randy, David, and Mark point out today:

By any rational measure (which, admittedly, is in short supply) the level of outright tyranny and lawlessness with abounds today FAR exceeds anything the Founders would have tolerated.

There IS good news amid the evil, however. Things are now SO ‘over the top’ that only the willfully blind can miss it.

Today’s show begins with a ‘thought experiment,’ as Albert Einstein famously used to call them.

“If you WANTED to destroy a society, a country, or an entire Free World, how would you do it?”

The answer is:

Probably NOT as well as it has ALREADY been done.

You might have thought about using a bio-weapon — even if it wasn’t quite as clever as using taxpayer dollars to fund ‘gain-of-function’ research in Communist China, and then getting people to inject THEMSELVES with the really deadly part of the poison.

Would you have come up with the plan to use bogus tests to expand the fear, and confuse people into believing that dying WITH a positive test is the same as dying FROM it? How about mandates that pave the way right to the ‘Mark of the Beast’?

And then there’s the destruction of small businesses, property rights, the entire US supply chain and energy infrastructure…and using the panic to steal an election and overturn the Republic as well.

So what then can we learn?

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha Beha-alotkha (Numbers 8:1 through all of chapter 12).

The Erev Shabbat reading and outline of the parsha begins with ‘when you light the lamps’ of the menora, and then the silver trumpets, and how the camp of multiple millions — when He moves them on — is to head up, by their tribes, and move out. But it’s the latter part of the portion that contains SO much drama, and again, so much that really should resonate with us today.

In the Sabbath Day teaching, Mark basically begins there, but essentially with a break at the end of chapter ten — set off by one of the most famous sets of “jots and tiddles” in the Hebrew Torah, the “inverted nuns,” that has even been called the “Book Never Written.” But the words, and the implications, resonate literally millenia later!

Human nature certainly hasn’t changed. And neither, arguably, has our frustration with those who seem to choose death, rather than life. We can understand the frustration that drove Moses to almost the breaking point with a people who simply seem to be unteachable.

But, as we stand on the brink of what is probably the most deadly, most treacherous, most exciting, and perhaps even most important in all of human history, there is a tremendous message of HOPE here as well!

The combined two-part podcast is here:

By now, regular listeners are no doubt aware that the sins we are to ‘partake not’ of — so that we don’t suffer the associated plagues — are obvious, and undeniable, as by now are the plagues as well.

Once we ‘come out of her,’ however, there’s another challenge; this one is mental, emotional, and certainly spiritual.

From Amalek to treason – what’s coming next? And it time to discuss what we need to be thinking about, PRAYING about, and preparing to ‘overcome’.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha Naso (Numbers 4:21 through all of chapter 7 – the longest in the Torah).

The Erev Shabbat reading and outline of the parsha begins where the ‘numbers’ in the previous portion left off, with the clan of Gershon, among the Levites, and follows with the others that complete that set. But that is just the beginning. This parsha includes THE single commanded procedure in the whole Book which REQUIRES a ‘miracle’ for its completion, and then concludes with what is almost without question THE most ‘repetitive’ (literally, word for word in major sequences) description in the entire Bible. Which leads to the really important question: Why?

The Sabbath Day teaching literally begins where the reading leaves off. The level of redundancy in the longest chapter in the Torah certainly tells us that there is SOMETHING important in that message, and probably more than one element of it. Mark suggests that it’s clear there is literal, detailed CONFORMITY in that each of the twelve gifts on those successive days is apparently identical, yet offered by unique individuals who are not only each a leader of his tribe, but acting in unison for a reason. That Scripture records both that, each and every time, and their names, tells us just home important that is.

Working back through the parsha, there is another message here that connects not only the most significant events in the Bible, and thus all of history, but prophecy as well.

Not surprisingly, some of these are elements ‘overlooked by most of xtianity,’ for the reason that they are anything but “done away with.”

We’ve seen perhaps the greatest deception, and acts of treachery against humanity, in world history.

But has the very nature of the Lie itself finally gone too far?

When there simply IS No Truth
