Now Is The Time w/Rabbi Steve Berkson | Love & Torah | Part 43

Love and Torah – what’s love got to do with it? This series explores the “Two Great Commands’—loving Yahweh and loving your neighbor. Building on 1 Corinthians chapter 13, also known as ‘The Love Chapter,’ Rabbi Steve Berkson explains how love can manifest in many forms, such as patience, putting others above yourself, and responding with kindness to those who mistreat or slander you. “The Love Chapter” states that true love does not behave indecently. What exactly is indecent behavior? Can you find a clear description in scripture? Rabbi Berkson discusses how this concept varies across different cultures, societies, and peoples. He also emphasizes the importance of “Situational Awareness” and why practicing it helps you show love to others. Closing “The Love Chapter,” Rabbi Berkson carefully examines every word, phrase, and verse to help you, even if you’ve read this chapter many times before, gain an even deeper understanding of what it means to love one another. Rabbi Berkson once again breaks down these passages so you can better understand what Yah expects from you, enabling you to act accordingly and receive His blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide Contact MTOI: [email protected] (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): • Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm • Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org

In this next installment of Heaven Shaking the Persian Bear we will take a close look at why Gabriel had to return to fight against the Prince of Persia even after his visit with Daniel.

Call this the “NOT ‘easter’ Special.” If the events in the world today haven’t yet made it clear – this is NOT the year to celebrate paganism with bunnies and eggs. This is a link to the ‘teaching only’ portion of the podcast for Mark Call’s Sabbath teaching for parsha “Tzav.”

Parsha “Tzav,” (Lev. 6 through 8) continues the instruction concerning specific types of ‘sacrifices’ and ‘offerings,’ followed by the related process for sanctification of Aaron and his sons as cohenim. There is a stunning contrast here, too, since this is the timeframe of His “Appointed Times” or moedim, known as Pesach, or Passover, and followed by the week of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. NOT to be confused with re-naming the Most Important Event in Human History with a fake, pagan, abomination of a ‘fertility goddess.’ Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at the parsha, and a discussion that will no doubt offend many (as He did). But arguably not nearly as much as the issue so clearly offends Him. You might call it the unequivocally “NOT-Easter” Special. First, the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/SSM-4-3-Tzav-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 In the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark this week explores the stunning CONTRAST between those ‘offerings’ and ‘sacrifices,’ — which Scripture again emphasizes in such detail — and the Single Sacrifice which has since be re-named to something it is certainly not. Is there no irony in the claim that the single ‘Final’ and Ultimate Sacrifice has been renamed in an idolatrous celebration that invites the death penalty? The haftorah reading begins with a warning that those who originally heard failed to heed. “You trust in lying words…” said the prophet YermeYahu (Jeremiah). “Obey My voice,” He told them. They misunderstood – and ignored – the lesson of the ‘sacrifices’ – and STILL DO. But it is the lesson of Ezekiel chapters 8 and 9 that is most pertinent to the idolatry that is so pervasive today! Tzav: “Lots of ‘offerings – ONE Sacrifice – Even More Abomination Now – and Little Discernment” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/WT-CooH-4-4-26-Tzav-Lots-of-Offerings-ONE-sacrifice-LOTS-of-pagan-abomination-but-little-discernment-NOT-easter-special-podcast-xxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

HE’S ALIVE FOREVERMORE! & We will be like HE IS!  HalleluYah! [1Co 15:3-4, 6-7, 35, 44-49 NKJV] 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, … 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. 7 After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. … 35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” … 44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual (SUPERNATURAL) body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual (SUPERNATURAL) body. 45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual (SUPERNATURAL) is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual (SUPERNATURAL). 47 The first man [was] of the earth, [made] of dust; the second Man [is] the Lord from heaven. 48 As [was] the [man] of dust, so also [are] those [who are made] of dust; and as [is] the heavenly [Man], so also [are] those [who are] heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the [man] of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly [Man]. [Luk 24:36-43 NKJV] 36 Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.” 37 But they were terrified and frightened, and SUPOSED THEY HAD SEEN A SPIRIT. 38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 “Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for A SPIRIT DOES NOT HAVE FLESH AND BONES AS YOU SEE I HAVE.” 40 When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 41 But while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled, He said to them, “Have you any food here?” 42 So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. 43 And HE TOOK IT AND ATE IN THEIR PRESENCE. Baruch H’Bah B’Shem YHWH!  HALLELUYAH!  HE’S ALIVE!

Join host Mark Call for news and commentary on the major events and developments of the week ending 4 April, 2026. World War 3 turns out to be what most of us expected, rather than what we were told. The courts are still corrupt, but that fact is at least becoming undeniable to most of what was once the Republic. And it’s also increasingly obvious that a ‘political solution’ is not going to happen.

It’s been quite a week, perhaps even more than we’ve lately come to expect. Mark Call and David Justice discuss some of those events, the consequences, and — especially this week — what we as people of YHVH need to understand and to do.

President Trump’s popularity rating has plummeted to a new low. A war that was promised not to happen continues to escalate. Tina Peters remains in a Colorado gulag, while real criminals laugh all the way to the bank. And it’s increasingly obvious that a rigged election system is NOT going to save a nation that has turned to paganism and even outright hatred for the Word of YHVH. But “easter” is here! If people don’t understand how they’ve been duped by allowing the Most Important Event in Human History to be re-named after a fake pagan goddess, can we be surprised they turn to other fables to get their “itching ears” scratched? Mark Call takes a VERY hard, blunt look at why that won’t work THIS year, especially. If you have friends or family who are wondering why “there is no power” in ‘the Church,’ or why it’s not “Jewish holidays” that we seek to observe, share this one. No punches are pulled, and it’s time.
