What Scripture Really Says About Food: A Biblical Examination
Scripture reveals that Yahweh does not change. The same Elohim who instructed Adam about what to eat in Eden established clear distinctions between clean and unclean animals long before Leviticus 11. Noah understood these categories when bringing animals onto the ark, demonstrating that dietary boundaries existed and were understood from the beginning.
The purpose of th...
Abraham: The First Prophet and Intercessor
In Genesis 20:7, we encounter a remarkable declaration when Yahweh refers to Abraham as "a prophet" during his encounter with King Abimelech. This marks the first time Scripture applies this sacred title to anyone, establishing Abraham not merely as a patriarch but as Yahweh's spokesman and intercessor.
The Hebrew word navi reveals deeper meaning. True prophets serve as Yahweh's spokesmen...
The Covenant of Avraham: Our Living Heritage in Yeshua
The covenant Yahweh established with Avraham carries extraordinary significance for us today. When Yahweh revealed Himself at the burning bush, He declared His identity as "the Elohim of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov," establishing this covenant as His eternal reference point.
Avraham's righteousness came through faith before circumcision, demonstrating that trust in Yahweh's ...
Parashat Noach: Righteousness and Covenant
Parashat Noach introduces us to the first man Scripture calls righteous. Noah's righteousness wasn't merely moral behavior but represented a covenant relationship with Yahweh that extended to his entire household. This Torah portion marks the first biblical mention of covenant (brit), establishing a pattern where Yahweh's covenants flow through individuals to bless families and future gen...
B'resheit: Created in His Image
The opening portion of Genesis reveals Yahweh's blueprint for dwelling with humanity. When Elohim declared, "Let Us make man in Our image," He established something extraordinary. The Hebrew word tselem (image) carries the meaning of shadow or representative figure, indicating we were designed to reflect His character and presence on earth.
This divine architecture unfolds through the Mishkan's cons...
Sukkot, known as the Feast of Ingathering, carries profound prophetic significance for the end times. Leviticus 23 commands us to gather the tebû'âh (produce) of the land, a Hebrew term deeply connected to restoration promises throughout Scripture. This appointed time foreshadows Yahweh's ultimate plan: gathering scattered Israel and all nations into one unified people. The prophets repeatedly declared that Elohim would assembl...
Sukkot, Welcoming the Eternal in the Temporal
The Festival of Sukkot stands as Yahweh's invitation for us to enter His eternal dwelling place. Known as the Time of Our Rejoicing, the Festival of Harvest, and the Festival for the Nations, Sukkot transcends mere historical remembrance. This sacred season points us toward the great wedding feast at the end of the age.
When we construct our temporary booths and wave the four species t...
Yom HaKippurim: Understanding Atonement Through Yeshua
Yom Kippur reveals the essential nature of atonement that extends far beyond simple forgiveness. The Hebrew word kaphar means "to cover" or "to cancel," demonstrating how Yahweh intervenes in the natural law of cause and effect where sin leads to death.
This sacred day addresses both guilt and shame through two distinct processes: kappara (atonement for moral wrongdoing) and t...
One Tree: Unity in Messiah Yeshua
Through the olive tree metaphor in Romans 11, we discover our sacred calling to become one unified people under Yahweh's covenant. As both natural and grafted branches drawing life from the same holy root, we transcend our diverse backgrounds to embrace our shared identity in Mashiach. This transformation requires us to abandon selfish ambitions and embrace humility, following Yeshua's example of ...
The King in the Field: When Heaven Meets Earth Throughout Scripture, Yahweh establishes sacred appointments with His people, marking specific seasons for divine encounter. The ancient parable of "the King in the field" beautifully illustrates how our Heavenly Father approaches us during times of preparation and reflection. Imagine a king who, instead of requiring his people to come to the palace with elaborate ceremony, chooses to...
The Tree of Knowledge, or The Tree of Life. Which Will YOU Choose?
When we examine the Garden of Eden narrative, we often focus exclusively on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Yet Scripture reveals two significant trees: the tree of life positioned in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Yahweh's instruction to Adam was clear: eat from every tree except one. This divine command suggests...
A Banquet of Joy: Our Divine Invitation
Yeshua's parable of the wedding feast reveals the eternal invitation extended to us by our Heavenly Father. In Matthew 22 and Luke 14, we see a king preparing a magnificent banquet for his son's wedding, calling forth guests to participate in this celebration of covenant relationship.
The original invitees made excuses, prioritizing worldly concerns over the King's invitation. One purchased ...
Go Fishin' - A Call to Discipleship
In Matthew 28:18-20, Yeshua delivers His final commission with absolute authority, commanding us to make disciples of all nations while teaching obedience to His commandments. This mandate connects directly to His earlier call when He promised to make His followers "fishers of men."
The powerful illustration in John 21:1-6 reveals how easily we drift back to familiar patterns when circumstances ...
Lessons from the Month of Av: Faith and Love in Biblical History
The fifth biblical month of Av carries much spiritual significance, offering timeless lessons for believers walking in covenant relationship with Yahweh. This sacred period reminds us of two pivotal moments that shaped Israel's destiny and continue to instruct us today.
During Av, the twelve spies returned from the Promised Land with their report. While ten brought f...
The Sermons on the Mounts: Two Mountains, One Message
When we examine the teachings Yeshua delivered on the mountain in Matthew 5-7, we discover something: these words do not contradict the instructions given at Mount Sinai, but rather reveal their deepest spiritual meaning. The Sermon on the Mount represents Yeshua's divine interpretation of Torah, showing us how the eternal principles given through Moses find their ultimate expr...
The Law of Liberty: Walking in Covenant Relationship
The heart of biblical faith centers on covenant relationship with Yahweh, established through redemption and sustained through His Word. This understanding reveals that Yeshua came not to abolish the Torah but to fulfill it, demonstrating how we should walk in righteousness after receiving new life.
Once redeemed, we need guidance on how to live in a way that pleases Yahweh. The...
The account of the blind man in Mark 8:22-25 reveals interesting truths about Yeshua's healing ministry and our spiritual transformation. When brought to Yeshua in Bethsaida, the blind man experienced a unique two-stage healing that demonstrates how our Messiah not only heals but makes us completely whole.
After Yeshua applied saliva to the man's eyes and laid hands on him, the man declared, "I see people, but they look like trees...
The Heart of Worship (thoughts for the month of Tammuz)
Just one month after Israel heard Yahweh's voice at Mount Sinai, they fashioned a golden calf and declared, "Tomorrow shall be a feast to Yahweh." This reveals the dangerous tendency to worship our ideas while invoking His sacred Name, the ultimate deception that transforms worship into idolatry.
The golden calf incident warns against fashioning Elohim according to our prefer...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
