Where all these AMAZING, yet COINCIDENTAL, attacks do threaten 'credulity' just a bit...

News and commentary for Monday, 25 March, 2024.

Is Jeremiah 31:31 talking about a “new” covenant or a “renewed” covenant? Why?

When Torah was given at Mt. Sinai, what was that symbolic of? What does that make us as a group?

Is there a clue as to what covenant is being talked about in Jeremiah 31? Has this “new covenant” already happened? Why or why not?

What does the existence of the Earth, Sun, Moon and stars have to do with the covenant?

Why does Jeremiah chapter 3 say the Ark of the Covenant will not be built again or remembered?

Rabbi Steve Berkson traverses the book of Jeremiah bringing some clarity to the scriptures that are intended to give the reader rebuke, instruction and hope. Once again we learn that teachers who have a right heart toward the Father will be used by Him to instruct His people.

As a bonus, Rabbi Berkson explains how Yeshua could be called a Nazarite even though there is no verse in the Tanakh (Old Testament) that says it.

Preparing for Purim This is Pt 3.

This week marks the first parsha in the Book of Vayikra, or Leviticus (Lev. chapters 1 through 5), where the reading beings with descriptions of several different types of offerings, and how they are to be done.

Many here are probably already aware that there is a difference between "sacrifice" (tzebach) and "offering" (korbon) and that Shaul/Paul actually supported and performed those associated with the end of the Nazerite vow (Acts 21:23-26). But that is only part of what is at best "incomplete" about the significance of His plan as taught in 'sun-day school'.

Because what is perhaps most interesting, however, and certainly overlooked, is the fact that these are specifically for what amounts to "UN-intentional" sin. Leaving a major 'gap in the picture.

The Erev Shabbat reading:

Which is where the Sabbath Day midrash begins. Because if there is SO much discussion of the kind of 'sin' that might be accomplished by different people by mistake, or in ignorance, and what should then be done, what does that say about intentional, deliberate REBELLION to him; intentional sin?

The answer is - not much. Well, explicitly anyway. Almost as if His Instruction paints a complete picture, by drawing an outline all around, and leaving something for us to figure out. As if it should be obvious.

What could be the nature of a 'sacrifice' for deliberate, knowing rebellion to YHVH Himself?

And if these "sacrifices" have been "done away with," anyway, what do they have to tell us now?

Perhaps most 'ironic' is the misunderstanding of what is referenced in Hebrews chapter 10. No wonder it's so easy to twist a letter written by a Hebrew to other Hebrews if people don't understand the basics.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa for an examination of the specifics of vital distinctions that speak volumes - especially when they are ignored! Starting with Hebrews 10:26. Which may be one of the most clear warnings to the "Clergy Response Team" in Scripture!

Vayikra: 'It's What You DON'T Say' - Vital Distinctions - Omitted or Ignored?"

The combined two-part teaching is here:

This past week, Shirley and I celebrated our 50th anniversary! This led me to think about a Psalm with the ideal of remembering which I found in Psalm 103 and the music of Psalm 103 recorded on my Keys of David album. As we remember what our Heavenly Father has done for us, we choose to be thankful and realize how blessed we have been. I am also including a link to a video of Nightbird which is a wonderful reminder of how to be thankful and grateful amidst challenging circumstances in life. Thanks giving opens up the communication channel to our Heavenly Father. Take some time to count your blessings and let your Heavenly Father know how much you appreciate His lovingkindness towards you and your family.

News, commentary, and a wrap-up of some of the major, and most-twisted, events for the week ending Friday, 22 March, 2024.

News and commentary for Thursday, 21 March, 2024.

The number of court cases which, for good or ill, tend to focus on what were once fundamental, Constitutionally-protected Rights, seems to have exploded in the last few weeks.

And in the high-profile case of Missouri v Biden, and the issue of whether the US Supreme Court can even recognize even the most simple concept associated with freedom of speech, and reject an outright "Ministry of Truth," the fact that they might NOT is mind-numbing.

While in Illinois, a District Court judge has ruled that an illegal alien has a right to keep and bear arms; yet another almost shocking result. Some are stunned that an Obama appointee managed to read the Second Amendment, others marvel that illegal aliens seem to have rights that "US Citizens" do not.

Why is it that what were once basic Constitutional Rights, in the First and Second Amendments, seem to have become a 'crap shoot' in a court system that seems to have made a joke of the entire Rule of Law as well? And what does that tell us?

Host Mark Call suggests that Scripture has been right all along, and what just be emerging is 'the Truth,' even if 'judges' would still prefer to hide it.

News and commentary for Wednesday, 20 March, 2024.

In which we see whether or not even blind pigs in the US Supreme Court can find an obvious First Amendment acorn. Eventually.
