In this episode, we look at two videos: one by Tucker Carlson, who argues Israel cannot be the chosen people of God, and one by Gavin Ortlund, who argues that Gentiles are now the true Israel, therefore Israel as a nation loses its significance. We break both of these arguments down and look at what Scripture has to say on the issue.

In this episode, we examine the claim that the land promise in the Abrahamic covenant has already been fulfilled. Joshua 21:43 states that "the LORD gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to their fathers." Does this mean that futurists are incorrect when they say that Israel can expect a return to the land of their forefathers?

Most people equate dispensationalism with date-setting, looking for blood moons, red heifers, and news headlines that match biblical prophecy. But the truth behind Christian date setting is a little more interesting, and it did not start with the dispensationalists. In fact, the dispensationalists tried to combat the date-setting phenomenon.Time Stamps:00:00 Introduction

Recently, Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz debated whether Christians should support modern Israel by arguing about Genesis 12:3. Here is a brief review of the comments, along with the biblical information on the applicability of the Abrahamic covenant today. Is it still true that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who mistreat them will be cursed? Let’s look at what the Bible says.

In arguing that Gentile believers ought to be considered as True Israel, one of the most significant passages discussed is Galatians 3. In Galatians 3, Gentile believers are called sons of God and the offspring of Abraham. These phrases also refer to Israel in the Old Testament. Does this mean that Gentiles are pictured as the spiritual Israel?

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.
