News and commentary for Monday, 30 June, 2025.

What is it that Yahweh is expecting of you? Well, you may say, nothing – because Jesus has done it all for us. Is this true? Why or why not?

Beginning this episode in Deuteronomy 10:12-13, Rabbi Steve Berkson presents what it is that Yahweh is expecting of all who choose to walk in covenant with Him.

Then going backward a couple of books Rabbi Berkson makes an in-depth dissertation of the Ten Commandments from Exodus chapter 20.

From there, back again into Deuteronomy, in chapter 6 where we find the Shema and the Vahavta, as Rabbi Berkson expounds on the foundation of covenant living with our Creator.

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.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa Fellowship for a two-part study of the Torah parsha reading for this week, is “Korach,” (Numbers chapters 16 through 18) and the infamous rebellion which bears that name.

The Erev Shabbat reading:

By now, perhaps it should be no surprise that Scripture sets the stage for events in the world. And, “rightly divided,” also reveals when passages have been “twisted,” or even inverted to suit the ‘prince of this world, and his big-brother servants.

The story of Korach is about a rebellion. To Moses, specifically, but certainly to YHVH as well. And the story proves that point conclusively. But, still,

Aren’t there more subtle issues when the question of ‘rebellion’ isn’t so clear-cut, and when it’s not so blatantly obvious that the rebellion is against His anointed? Israel, after all, has had bad kings, who “did evil in the sight of YHVH.” Yet, most still claim to be doing “God’s work,” but it just may not be obvious which ‘god.’

Is there a way to be sure?

The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

Host Mark Call reviews the major events, spin, actual news stories, and attempts to escalate WW3 to go nuclear, for the week ending Saturday, 28 June, 2025.

But things definitely HAVE changed.

This week, the focus shifts to just how the Deep State can get back on a track to nuclear hellfire: Attempts to exit from their planned war will apparently be leak-sabotaged, and any long-denied “sleeper cells” from here on MUST be Iranian, even if AmeriKa now has more embedded terrorists – ‘Lets Go Brandon!’ – than the Olde BidenFuhrer has adult pampers.

Host Mark Call received a call from Daniel Holdings this week about a subject not only on both of their minds, but probably many listeners as well: Israel.

And what we should know, and remember, about what Scripture has to say.

Senator Ted Cruz, speaking to Tucker Carlson, and arguing for WW3, seemed to be “Scripturally-illiterate” on the subject. But far too many ‘sun-day xtians’ have been taught the same “lies, inherited from our fathers.”

Join Mark Call and special guest Daniel Holdings as they discuss what Scripture actually says about “Israel,” and what far too many have never been encouraged to study for themselves.

News and commentary for Wednesday, 25 June, 2025.

On today’s show, episode 179, I’m speaking with David L. Jones, who grew up under the umbrella of the Southern Baptist Church in North Carolina, USA. I had a wonderful conversation with David about his spiritual journey, from his vocation as Pastor of an Independent Sunday-keeping Baptist Church to pastoring a Seventh-day Sabbath-keeping fellowship located in a high concentration area of the North Carolina Bible Belt. The area has a strong presence of Protestant evangelical and fundamentalist Christians who collectively maintain a strong influence on religious beliefs based on social and political life.

I’ll be speaking with David about his spiritual journey, leading both he and his wife into pursuing a lifestyle according to the Laws of the Mosaic Torah, especially that of observing the Seventh-Day Sabbath and keeping biblical festivals in harmony with the teachings of the Dead Sea Scrolls Zadokite Ecclesiastical Calendar and faithfully adhering to the Torah’s clean and unclean food laws. David and the Baptist Church he was pastoring stopped putting up Christmas Trees and partaking in whole-hog barbecues, the eating of pork shoulders, bacon, and a unique blend of seafoods such as oysters, clams, and shrimp. With all these changes, we’ll learn how they affected not only his immediate family but also how the biblical Torah amazingly touched and changed the lives of the congregation he was pastoring as an Independent North Carolina Baptist Church. Further, we’ll also learn about the Jones Family singers and their love for music in the genres of Southern Gospel and Bluegrass. Please, join me now for my interview with David L. Jones.

Join the Torah Teachers, Ray Harrison, Pete Rambo, and Mark Call as they continue the study of the ‘most twisted Book in the Bible,’ the apostle Paul’s letter to the Galatians. There is no doubt that much of what he wrote about, even warned about, has literally been “turned on its head.”

And this week, they explore what may be the most twisted CHAPTERS in the Book as well, 3 and 4.

All three of them recommend Avi ben Mordechai’s excellent book, “Galatians: Torah-Basd Commentary in First Century Hebraic Context.”

Pete Rambo also referenced a video that he did a while back related to the topic, “Who Are the Modern Pharisees,”
