January 06, 2025 Mark Call – Daily News Update Friday
It has been clear ever since the landslide that was “too big to rig” that a “peaceful transfer of power” to President-elect Donald Trump was NOT the Deep State’s Preferred Plan.
What remains “up in the air” during this Time-Between is just what types of events are on-tap to impede it. And this week, we saw some of the options, at least ‘preliminarily’.

January 06, 2025 Now Is The Time w/Rabbi Steve Berkson | Darkness & Light | Part 15
As he begins the text for this teaching in 1 John 1:1, Rabbi Steve Berkson points out that the apostle John confirms all the scriptures that refer to Messiah Yeshua as the Word, and from the mouth of Yeshua as He refers to Himself as the Life, when he says he has looked upon and handled the Word of Life–he was there as the Messiah walked on this earth.
As Rabbi Berkson points out, the apostle John emphasizes in the first part of his letter the vertical and horizontal relationships–with our Father and with each other. Note also how much he uses the light and darkness references–walking in the light means guarding His commands, or doing the truth.
• What did Rabbi Steve mean when he talked about how Yeshua “took the bullet for us.”
• How do we know that we know Him? (1 John 2:3)
• Who was the “perfect disciple”? Hint: it wasn’t one of the twelve.
• What is it that demonstrates our being one with Yeshua and the Father?
• Can one say something that is a lie, but not be a liar?
Once again, at the end of this series, Rabbi Steve Berkson delves deeper into scripture to uncover even more dimensions of Darkness and Light.

Regardless of what others may teach about this subject, Rabbi Steve Berkson brings a more comprehensive approach to this vital, yet misunderstood, subject.
• What are the two things that you MUST do when someone has wronged you?
• Does the other person have to apologize before you forgive?

January 06, 2025 Dr Hollisa Alewine – Footsteps of Messiah Part 139 (The Bounty on Your Head)
When those four riders of the apocalypse come, think about...
In Scripture, the head often represents the authority, the will of the person. When we dedicate our heads to Yeshua, we submit our will to him. Because he submitted his will to the Father, he has bounty in his hand. That bounty consists of the Bride, those who respond to the Father, who drew them to Yeshua. They have a marriage covenant with Heaven as described by King Solomon in the Song of all Songs:
Your shoots are an
orchard of pomegranates with choice fruits,
henna with nard plants. (So 4:13)
It was customary for the bridegroom to send pomegranates as gifts to the bride in the interim between the betrothal and the actual ceremony and consummation of the marriage. These are gifts of the Bridegroom to the Bride to “wear" until he comes. It is the way for the Bride to learn the nature of her Groom until they physically dwell together. When she learns who he is, his will, what pleases and displeases him, she adjusts her own attitude and behavior to reflect those desires. She prepares for him just as he prepares for her.
Ultimately, Yeshua is preparing a place for the Bride "in my Father's House." Because no one can dwell in the Father's House in rebellion, the Bridegroom is preparing the bountiful Bride to dwell in the Presence of the Almighty's House. As she walks in the Father's will, and therefore Yeshua's will, the Living Word, she builds the reputation of the King of Kings. She proclaims His Name on earth by her deeds, which are His deeds. She re-introduces mankind to their Creator and Lover of their Souls.
The Good Name built by the pomegranates, whose pips (seeds) represent the 613 commandments, is pictured by the ancient marriage customs. Although betrothed and technically married, the couple lives apart until the final stage of the marriage, kiddushin. Only then will they dwell together. In the meantime, though, the bride is considered already married, forbidden to all others, and she wears the name of the bridegroom. This gift of a good name reflects unity with the Bridegroom, who by His “pomegranates” has set apart the Bride from all other nations and gods who represent an adultery for her:
“And what one nation on the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people and to make a name for Himself, and to do a great thing for You and awesome things for Your land, before Your people whom You have redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, from nations and their gods?” (2 Sa 7:23)
“So keep and do them, for that is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’” (Dt 4:6)
The Mishkan (Tabernacle in the Wilderness) is a template of the Famous Name gift exchange between Bride and Bridegroom. The Bride brought the Bridegroom thirteen items as gifts for the building of the Mishkan:
Gold
Silver
Copper
Turquoise wool
Purple wool
Scarlet wool
Linen
Goat hair
Red-dyed ram skins
Tachash skins
Acacia wood
Shoham stones
Stones for the settings
This list does not include items that were depletable, such as olive oil and spices for anointment. Then the Bridegroom gave her similar gifts, each mirroring one of her gifts to Him for the preparation of a Mishkan to make a place for His Presence to dwell with her:
“I also clothed you with embroidered cloth and put sandals of porpoise skin on your feet; and I wrapped you with fine linen and covered you with silk. I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands and a necklace around your neck. I also put a ring in your nostril, earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your dress was of fine linen, silk and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, honey and oil; so you were exceedingly beautiful and advanced to royalty. Then your fame went forth among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect because of My splendor which I bestowed on you,” declares the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel 16:10-14)
Enumerated for easier reading:
Embroidered cloth
Tachash (porpoise or badger) sandals
Fine linen (priesthood)
Silk ("cloud of glory”)
Ornaments
Bracelets (tablets of Ten Words)
Necklace (words of Torah bound around the neck/heart)
Nose ring (justice)
Earrings (Shma)
Crown of beauty (Divine Presence Is 60:19)
Gold (purity of Torah)
Silver (redemption)
Fame (of the Groom's Name)
The Bride brought earthly gifts, which the Bridegroom matched with spiritual gifts.
The next building block is understanding that the Bridegroom doubles the gifts of the Bride. In fact, the principle that the Queen of Sheba brought Melekh Shlomo a huge quantity of spices (1 Ki 10:10) which could be measured, for it was earthly riches, but which he exceeded so far in his gifts back to her that they had no measure and could only be described as “royal bounty.” These represent spiritual gifts. What is in one's hand is what he/she controls and represents his/her bounty or wealth.
Bounty = ?????? ke-yad, “hand”
It is the practice of the bridegroom to double the bride’s dowry. If she brings 13 gifts to the Mishkan, then he gives 26. Here is an example of a negative application of the principle:
“Comfort, O comfort My people,’ says your God. ‘Speak kindly to Jerusalem; and call out to her that her warfare has ended, that her iniquity has been removed, that she has received of the LORD’S hand double for all her sins.’” (Is 40:1-2)
If the Bride gives her Bridegroom sins, he obliges and doubles the consequences of those sins. Not a double-portion gift she wants!
Although only 13 good gifts are listed in Ezekiel, it is thought that those gifts will be doubled in the future, the millennial reign of the Prince of Peace, and in the World to Come, it will be royal bounty without measure, for it will be an eternal royal Mishkan (without measure):
"The one who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name." (Re 3:12)
The Bridegroom is preparing a place for overcomers. They overcome for the sake of His Name, not to make themselves famous. They are the "shoots" of the pomegranate orchard, full of its pips, which represent the commandments. The shoot is from the same material as the tree. The Hebrew word for shoots is shalakh, "sent ones," as in apostles and messengers. It can also mean an arrow, which hits the mark once sent. "Torah" itself is from yara, to shoot an arrow.
Once sent, a pip produces a new pomegranate tree, not weeds. They keep and live those mitzvah-pips, and because they overcome in walking in them, their reputation is like Yeshua's description of his own mission:
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.” (Jn 4:34)
“I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.” (Jn 5:30)
“For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.” Jn (6:38)
“This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.” (Jn 6:39)
“As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.” (Jn 6:57)
“He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me.” (Jn 12:45)
Because we perform the will of the Bridegroom, who gifted us his pomegranates, we proclaim his Good Name even before the resurrection. In submitting our will to the Bridegroom's will, we are assured he will conclude our marriage contract made at Sinai when we said, and say every year at Shavuot, "We will do and we will hear."
When he meets us and draws us into the Cloud of his Presence to dwell with him, he will raise us from the dead (1 Th 4:15-18). At that time, we will be able to see the bounty on our heads. It will be more than double bounty...it will be the eternal bounty of the riches of His Presence with us. So let's re-read the reward that has been placed on our heads:
"The one who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name." (Re 3:12)
How is this better than the Mishkan in the wilderness? The Mishkan was a movable tent for His Presence on earth. The Temple is the Mikdash, a permanent, holy dwelling for kiddushin, or the "holy consummation" of the marriage. Mikdash, or Temple, holds the Hebrew root kadash, for holiness. Those who bear the Name on their heads are the holy ones.
A pillar in Hebrew, amud, means "something permanent, enduring, immovable." What's so incredible is that in the future Temple, it is a merging of the Ruach-built Mikdash above fused with a completely pure building from what He created below, natural and spiritual in perfect harmony as was intended from the Creation. As in the first Temple, in which the two main pillars had names (Boaz and Yachin), so the Bride of Messiah will have the Bridegroom's new name. She will be bountifully full of pips, ministering healing to the nations with her own shoots and leaves.
The good news? Yeshua has given us the Living Word, a bountiful supply of pips on which to feed and from which to produce more good fruits and healing leaves while we await his coming. The four riders of the apocalypse will be a welcome sight to the Pips. There is indeed a great reward on their heads.
We are not the hippie generation that held empty promises of peace and love. We are the enduring Pippy Generation!

January 05, 2025 Mark Call – Parsha “Vayigash” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa
The reading from the Torah this week, parsha Vayigash (Genesis/Bereshiet chapter 44:17-47:27) picks up at the last, dramatic, “cliff-hangar,” in the third reading dealing with the life and times of Yosef (Joseph).
And it begins with one of the most dramatic transformations in the Bible, in what Mark Call refers to as “Judah ‘Mans Up.’ And this is demonstrably the first time in history where one human being forgives another.
The Erev Shabbat reading of the finale of the story:
https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SSM-1-3-25-Vayigash-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3
There are again a number of major themes in the study of Joseph, and Judah in particular as well this week, and certainly of a different nature than what we saw previously.
And it starts with a transformation. Judah, the brother who suggested that Joseph be sold into slavery, and then returned lied to his father about what happened, ends up facing almost EXACTLY the same situation, over two decades later, with Joseph’s youngest brother. What he does THIS time marks him as worthy of being the father of THE line of kings.
Joseph recognizes what he has become.

January 04, 2025 America, the Promised Land? Part 1
Is America Spiritual Israel’s Promised Inheritance?
(This is Part 1 – Visit www.HisWordHeals.com to listen to Part 2 as well) Is America the actual end times promised land of Israel? We recently received an email which stated that it was and that the Land in the Middle East with the name Israel was an abominable land that now belongs to Esau. We were given scriptures in support of this theory or doctrine. That is what we are going to look at today… Is America the spiritual promised land of end times Israel or is it perhaps instead the spiritual daughter of Egypt? A place of safety and provision at the ends of the earth before the ultimate regathering of the WHOLE Nation of Isreal, YHWH’s remnant faithful at the end of days just before the Millennial Kingdom? Will Y’shua rule the earth in the righteousness of YHWH’s Word from America as suggested in the email we received or from a completely cleansed and restored Promised Land of Israel in the Middle East where our fathers and the prophets walked? What does scripture actually say. Listen in to parts 1 and 2 of this message which are filled with tons of scriptural evidence for our findings.
