There is a single major story dominating the world today, and it far more important, and layered, than the Waste-Stream media, or the Left, would like you to believe.

But, to put it in perspective – we are now seeing in Nicolas Maduro the ONLY Venezuelan gang member that the Far Left does NOT want to see imported into AmeriKa.

Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor.

Continuing our journey through the second of the Two Great Commands, ‘love your neighbor’, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us to Luke 6:38, where we see Messiah Yeshua continuing to show the contrast between what Rabbi Berkson calls “the Below” and “the Above”. He points out that in order to please the Father, you must be aligned with “the Above”.

A component of loving Yahweh and your neighbor is giving. What does that mean, though? Rabbi Berkson clarifies how, when, and why to give. He also points out an incentive to give, noting that whatever we give will be returned, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. Rabbi Berkson uses his trip to a Baskin-Robbins™ ice cream store to make the point.

In Luke 6:39-40, Messiah Yeshua tells a parable about the blind leading the blind. Rabbi Berkson cautions about where and from whom you get your information as you walk in Torah observance. There’s a lot of misinformation out there that presents itself with authority.

In verse 41, Yeshua teaches about the plank in your eye and the splinter in your brother’s eye. Rabbi Berkson explains how some people take Torah knowledge and use it as a weapon to try to “help” others with their walk. “Correction can only happen correctly in the right relationship.”

Then in Luke 6:47-49, Rabbi Berkson tells us that our lives are like building a house. Are we building on the correct foundation, or without one? The key is whether or not we are listening to and doing the words of Messiah.

Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, so that you can do it and receive the blessings.

Torah parsha ‘Vayechi’ (Genesis/Bereshiet 47:28 – End) this week is the final reading in the Book of Genesis, and not only concludes the stories of the life of Yakov, and his son Joseph in particular, but sets the stage for the Exodus to come.

The Erev Shabbat reading lays out the story, and also the final adoption – literally – of Ephraim and Manasseh, and the structure of the ‘twelve tribes’ that underlie the rest of Scripture, both historically and prophetically:

The Sabbath Day midrash this week addresses the ‘elephant in the room,’ that follows so many of the aspects of this story of Genesis as it concludes:

– Yakov/Jacob “adopts” the two sons of Joseph, not only giving him their ‘double-portion’ in the inheritance, and replacing Reuben in that place, but setting up the second (after Judah) in what will be the line of kings, in this case of the Northern Kingdom, and so much of what seems to follow in later history.

– After the death of Jacob, the brothers STILL don’t seem to “get it,” and understand that Joseph did not intend to punish them for their treachery so many years earlier. But that theme also resonates later – in that “there arose another king in Egypt,” who “did not know Joseph.”

And Mark Call, of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship, outlines why THAT is still ever so true!

DID YA’ KNOW? #4 WATCH VIDEO HERE (MORE MESSAGES (BOTH AUDIO ONLY AND VIDEO) LIKE THIS (such as Did Ya’ Know# 2 and 3) at https://www.HisWordHeals.com/blog )  [Rev 14:11 NKJV] 11 “And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who WORSHIP the beast and his image, and whoever receives the MARK of his name.” The Mark of the Beast! There are tons of theories out there as to what this will look like… everything from just Sunday worship to a physical microchip stuck to your forehead. Today we will take a closer look at exactly what scripture says this could look like. Is it an actual physical mark in or on your flesh or spiritual mark such as YHWH via the angel with the ink horn puts on the foreheads of those who sigh and cry over the abominations being done in Jerusalem in Ezekiel 9? So lets start this deep dive into what scripture actually says about the ‘mark’ by looking at the Greek word that is translated as ‘MARK’ NINE TIMES total in the New Testament, EIGHT of those being in Revelation all referencing the MARK of the beast with the NINTH time, the ONLY time, this word appears in the New Testament OUTSIDE of the book of Revelation. I think the fact that this word is only found ONE TIME OUTSIDE the of the book of Revelation VERY IMPORTANT to the understanding of what this actual MARK might actually entail and/or consist of. We will look at the 8 times in Revelation first and then the very interesting 9th time in the book of… lol I’m not going to tell you where yet. You’ll have to stay tuned!

News and commentary from host Mark Call, for the final week of the year 2025, and into the New Year.

It’s that nominally “quiet period” at year-end, when most of the criminal and those who lie about them are taking an undeserved hiatus. Which means things that might otherwise get ignored may get reported, in the hopes they’ll be ignored. Likewise, markets tend to be ‘thinly-traded,’ which means that when the manipulation is so clearly breaking down even then, there’s a hint of things to come.

Are AmeriKans really as clueless as the Far Left and their Fake News want you to believe? People seem to be finally catching on. But that still doesn’t mean “justice” will be done. Pay attention!

This week that begins the ‘new year’ might also, if normal still existed, be called a “slow news week.” Many markets are closed, reporters are on vacation, and even the high-paid criminals are still recovering from their binges.

But Mark Call and David Justice still have plenty to talk about, especially as things hidden are being revealed.
