The word “Ichabod” literally means “inglorious” or “there is no glory.” And in her pain and despair, the woman (who is unnamed in Scripture) lamented over the loss
of the Glory of God from Israel.
The Glory of God is used to describe not only His Majesty but also His favor and blessings toward His people. In the Old Testament, Ichabod became a reality for the Israelites.
In the New Testament, Jesus later refers to the concept of the Glory of God leaving Israel. In His message to the populace of Israel, His final word to the religious leaders was: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate.” (Matthew 23:37-38).
That was His final statement of judgment on Israel for the rejection of their Messiah.
He had indicted their leaders – and by indicting the leaders – that indictment fell upon all the people who followed them. And now, He proclaimed their house to be left desolate – “Ichabod!” For the Glory had departed.
And that warning is being heralded by Jesus to the world-loving Church of today as its many compromises lead her further and further away from His unadulterated Word of Truth that alone guarantees Salvation’s Eternal Life Promise – and the One Who alone is the Promise – Yeshua Hamashiach – Jesus the Messiah.
In this series, we address this growing dilemma while contending for His Truth – and shining the Light of that glorious beacon into the darkness of this world while there is still time to do so. For once the last called and chosen one enters in – the Ark of God’s Salvation will be leaving to meet our Beloved Savior in the air – before His Tribulation Judgment befalls the unbelieving – those who rejected the
Love of the Truth – so as to be Saved. (2 Thessalonians 2:10).

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.
