The biblical kings and prophets envisioned the Temple as a house of prayer for all nations. Right now, it’s only a house of prayer for Muslims—Jews and Christians are forbidden from praying where Jesus did. Our guest today, David Kiern, is a filmmaker whose passion is to see disciples of Jesus kindle a love for Israel and a passion for the Temple Mount. His newest film, “I Am Israel: The Mountain of the King,” comes out on May 25, and he’s here to tell us all about it.
👉 Takeaways
► Discover the Heart of the World at Jerusalem and the Temple Mount: How did the Temple Mount in Jerusalem become known as the resting place for God’s presence and the place where heaven and earth connect? David Kiern’s film isn’t just a history lesson; it’s an invitation to experience the spiritual energy of this central place and to imagine the fulfillment of the vision for it to become a house of prayer for all nations.
► Unravel the Complex Story of Worship on the Temple Mount: Have you ever wondered why, today, worship on the Temple Mount is limited to Muslims only? If we long for the prophet’s prediction of the Temple Mount as a house of prayer for all nations to come true, then we must reconsider our perspective on the Temple Mount and how we value experiencing God in that sacred space.
► Experience Israel through the Power of Film: Even if travel isn’t possible right now, film can bring Israel’s beauty and deep history to you! The Mountain of the King offers a fast-paced journey through the past, present, and future, with action on horseback, jeep, and helicopter. Immerse yourself in the land’s spiritual significance and discover Israel in ways that will truly surprise you!
► Connect with the Incredible Journey of Aliyah: “If you haven’t yet experienced the first I Am Israel film, be sure to check it out! You’ll be deeply inspired by the stories of Jewish people returning to Israel from around the world – a journey known as “Aliyah.” Witness how these personal narratives connect with powerful prophecies and what it means to see history unfold before your eyes.

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.
