Hebrew Nation Online

News and commentary for Monday, 10 October, 2022. And a LONG weekend of further attempts to destroy just about everything...

Starting off with a powerful verse from 2 Corinthians 10:18, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues what he started in the last teaching on the third topic from James 1:12 of being “proved” or tested through trials.

As the serpent was a deceiver in the beginning, so he continues to deceiver or commit sorcery, against humankind who cling to Babylon, the first beast kingdom: “…and the light of a lamp will never shine in you again; and the voice of the groom and bride will never be heard in you again; for your merchants were the powerful people of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your witchcraft.” (Re 18:23) The righteous who obey the Word with the power of the Ruach HaKodesh will never illuminate the way in fallen Babylon again, for they have risen into the Garden, their inheritance. The merchants’ “witchcraft” deceived the nations, and the vehicle was the “powerful people of the earth,” those who controlled the leopard-spot systems perfected by Rome. Here is the reference information on witchcraft: Strong’s G5331 pharmakeía, from G5332; medication ("pharmacy"), i.e. (by extension) magic (literally or figuratively):—sorcery, witchcraft. Outline of Biblical Usage the use or the administering of drugs poisoning sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it metaphorical of the DECEPTIONS and seductions of idolatry Before we condemn all medicine and the entire medical system, let’s put pharmakeia in context. The Hebrew cognate to pharmakeia is our familiar word for flaming ministers of fire: lahat. Its root is also lahat, the flame of fire that describes the ministering angels or the consuming fire of Elohim. Oddly, the same flaming fire can describe both heavenly ministers of fire and sorcerers: “Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers, and they too, the soothsayer priests of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts [?????????????].” (Ex 7:11) Drugs can be sorcery when we misuse them to deceive into disobedience of the Word. They deceive us into engaging in immoral, deathly, hopeless, faithless behaviors that perpetuate slavery to sin and death. Poisoning, however, is an important definition because the wormwood poison of Israel is to HEAR the Word, yet in their hearts believe that Elohim would not judge them for their sin! “Now it is not with you alone that I am making this covenant and this oath, but both with those who stand here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God, and with those who are not with us here today (for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we passed through the midst of the nations through which you passed; moreover, you have seen their abominations and their idols made of wood and stone, silver and gold, which they had with them); so that there will not be among you a man or woman, or family or tribe, whose heart turns away today from the LORD our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; that there will not be among you a root bearing poisonous fruit and wormwood. And it shall be when he hears the words of this curse, that he will consider himself fortunate in his heart, saying, ‘I will do well though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart in order to destroy the watered land along with the dry.’ The LORD will not be willing to forgive him, but rather the anger of the LORD and His wrath will burn against that person, and every curse that is written in this book will lie upon him, and the LORD will wipe out his name from under heaven. Then the LORD will single him out for disaster from all the tribes of Israel, in accordance with all the curses of the covenant which is written in this Book of the Law." (Dt 29:14-21) Drugs to treat a legitimate health issue are not sorcery! In most cases, they are not ideal, but they can preserve or prolong life. Drugs, however, are frequently used to transgress the boundaries of life as defined in the Word, creating "soul trafficking."

What is Freedom? Since July 4th came this week, I thought I would share some thoughts on Freedom. Is freedom something the government gives us or is it internal - a result of our relationship with our Heavenly Father? If it is internal by relationship, can the world or the governments take it away? These are rhetorical questions but well worth pondering as we face the difficulties we see displayed daily throughout our nation and the world.

The parsha this week may be one of the most 'appropriately named' in the Torah, because 'chukat' may be translated as "statute," but it REALLY means, "do this because I say so!" Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha 'Chukat' (Numbers chapters 19 through 22:1). The Erev Shabbat reading and outline of the parsha includes some of the most significant "life and death" issues in the Torah. Which is more than ironic. https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/SSM-7-8-22-Chukat-teaching-podcast-x.mp3 Nor only ia best way to understand the concept of a 'chuq' to "do this because I say so," but as Mark outlines in the Sabbath Day teaching, that is precisely the underlying theme to the entire parsha. And that is precisely why life and death are, too. "Chukat: the Real? or the Snake-on-a-Stick?" https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/WT-CooH-7-9-22-Chukat-ze-BidenFuhrer-and-the-Snake-on-a-Stick-podcast-xxxx.mp3 The combined two-part podcast is here:

The torah teachers look into the end of the Book of Jeremiah, and chapter 52. (And in the process, cover a few of the misconceptions that have done so much damage, when the Torah has been 'twisted' to cover lies told when men try to rewrite Scripture.)

News, commentary, and an extended summary of some of the major, most insidious, most ridiculous, and even occasionally most encouraging news events of the week ending 8 July, 2022.

The week AFTER some Americans remembered this nation's founding, some of the news was just plain weird. And it lead Mark Call, David Justice, and Randy Yarborough to question whether 'the narrative' is really coming apart at the seams, and the cover-up is thus becoming more desperate, or whether things are just so blatant now that all the stops are being pulled out...

Marital "Turmoil?" Domestic Abuse Defined   Join my guest, Rachel Peters, Domestic Abuse Advocate, as she discusses a topic that most do not want to hear about but may very well need to hear about. Perhaps you or someone you know has questions about whether a "troubled" marriage is actually an abusive marriage...come join Rachel as she speaks words of wisdom!   Says Rachel... "This is just one of the resources I use in helping women identify abuse in their life. Not only does it give them language to describe their situation but it also helps them to see that what is happening to them is not right. All abuse is physical… but many times it doesn’t leave visible bruises or broken bones. If you can identify with this, let’s start building your team. Let’s get you the help you need." Do you know someone who is living in an abusive relationship and needs someone to talk to? Are you yourself needing someone to believe you and support you as you wrestle with the things done to you? Are you scared to trust someone once again for fear of being judged and tossed aside like trash? Do you need someone to listen, encourage, believe and love you? Whatever your story, I’m here for you. I would love to meet up for lunch or coffee… my treat!

The level of Evil being manifest in literally every aspect of society today - from economic self-immolation to mass murder - is now beyond denial, except perhaps from Criminally-Negligent Networks. Which means there are some specifics that those with "eyes to see" had better be thinking about, and praying about, NOW. So: "Let's Talk Tactical..."

News and commentary for Thursday, 7 July, 2022.

News and commentary for Wednesday, 6 July, 2022. The Destroyer(s) are doubling-down. But, this time in the Netherlands, more are fighting back. And the rest will have difficulty remaining blind to the obvious.

News and commentary for Tuesday, 5 July, 2022. After the long American Holiday Weekend, where hopefully at least a FEW people still remembered why we celebrate what were once "self-evident Truths," and a republic built on fundamental principles that follow from that, it's important to note that so much of what is WRONG with that nation today springs from denial of those same Truths. Still, as the collapse, and perhaps Divine Judgment, accelerate, it is encouraging to see that others are beginning to return to at least LOOKING for that Truth.

Audio reading:  Num 20:1-15, 1 Chron 1:1-2:17, Acts 23:11-35, Psalm 3:1-8, Prov 18:14-15 I invite you in to Jacob’s tent where we dive in to the Word of God. Join me in this Journey through the entire bible in one year focusing on the biblical calendar, the feasts and the Torah reading cycle. In Matthew 4:4, Yeshua said these words: “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” Taking in the word of God every day is LIFE to our spirit and health to our bones!
