The Torah reading called "Pekudei" (for the "accounts" that summarized the making of the 'mishkan,' or Tabernacle in the Wilderness, from Exodus 38:10 through the end of the Book) is the final parsha the the opening saga of the Exodus.

And while the story has only really begun at that point, it's an inspired summary of what mattered then, and still does:  the phrase "as YHVH commanded Moshe [Moses]" is repeated eighteen times in this parsha alone, and the level of repeated detail on the work the 'mixed multitude' did together is, in large measure, also repeated, but with a change of tense:  that which they were TOLD to do, they, and Moses, DID -- and, again, "as YHVH commanded Moshe."

There is clearly a message there.

While most of us who have attended the vast majority of 'denominational churches' have probably heard the term "Old" Testament, and even that "the Law" was somehow away with later, as if it no longer applies, and what matters instead is the 'spirit' that is in our hearts, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa suggests we had better understand the MANY other admonitions in Scripture, including warnings from Shaul, or Paul, that have been twisted.  He starts with a look at the First Letter Paul wrote to the Corinthians, and chapter 3.  But it is undeniable, to those with "eyes to see," that the ReNewed Covenant, in places like Jeremiah 31:31 is not quite what most of us have been taught, either.

As we see the battle lines being drawn in a world which has largely rejected the True Messiah in favor of "another jesus whom we have NOT preached," Mark suggests it has never been more important not only that we know WHICH Spirit is "holy" and how to know, but that we understand why what "Yahuah commanded Moshe" is still the Foundation -- just as Yahushua HaMashiach, the Messiah, said, and taught.  He never changed so much as a "yod or tiddle."

And He summarized it all simply, too:   "If you love Me, keep My commandments."

Which?  All of 'em.  The ones He Wrote, and Taught, and has never changed.

If we are now to be His "temple," and His Holy Spirit is to dwell within our hearts, we need to understand what that really means.

After the world-changing 'incident' with the 'golden calf,' Moses assembled (thus the title of the Torah portion, Vayakhel, "and he assembled" - Exodus 35:1-38:20) the children of Israel.  And they began a process of building something together, and at least begin to repair the breach.  It was a place for YHVH to dwell among them.

In the reading of the entire parsha, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship takes special note of just how often Scripture tells us about their hearts.  It was the wise-hearted, and the willing-hearted, over and over, who brought their offerings and their "skillful worksmanship".  

Which is a stunning contrast with a world today, where we've "heard it said, on Sunday that "He dwells in our heart," but He somehow "did away with" His own "Law."  

Funny, that's what we see from the unelected black-robed priests of Satan who prattle about "democracy," but don't care what people voted for, or even what a Constitution says that they put their hand on a Bible and lied about.   The Law of the Land is just as "done away with."   And "justice, justice you shall pursue," may be Written in the BIble, but certainly not on their hearts.

There's a vital message for us in that contrast.  And it reflects a very old choice.

Torah teachers Mark Call, Mark Pitrone, and Ray Harrison, continue the study of the Book of the prophet Hosea, into chapter 12.

And it sure looks like the argument against Ephraim fits the USA as well as it did the Northern Kingdom.  And, yes, the indictment of the Whore Church is impossible to miss.  But it still manages to anyway.
