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, delivering His heart to His people through direct communication. Abraham fulfilled this calling when Yahweh instructed Abimelech to seek Abraham's prayers for healing and restoration.
This prophetic pattern points directly to Yeshua, who embodies the ultimate fulfillment of Abraham's role. As the promised prophet like Moses (Deuteronomy 18:18), Yeshua speaks only the Father's words and serves as our eternal intercessor. Isaiah 53:12 prophesies that Messiah would "make intercession for transgressors," which Yeshua perfectly accomplishes.
Today, through Yeshua's ongoing intercession, we receive the same divine favor Abraham demonstrated. His prophetic legacy continues as our Mashiach advocates before the Father, ensuring Yahweh's covenant promises remain secure for us.

Ruthie's Table 4
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.
