THE DIETARY LAW!
********Leviticus 19:2 - Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.********
*******
Psalm 147:19-20 - Vs.19. He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. v.20. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD. The Most HIGH gave His chosen people His Laws to live by and to be an example (a light) to their Gentile neighbors as well as the rest of the world; even within our captive lands, we are to be a light, an ambassador of the Living GOD in Christ Savior!!!
Genesis 1:29-30 - Vs. 29. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. Prior to sin, these two verses were the first instructions on what mankind and animals are to eat. Even though sin has entered the earth, these instructions still applies! Also, herbs and fruits are medicines for our temples. In regard to the eating of meats, once the knowledge of Good and Evil came into existence, the animal kingdom (land, air, and water) got divided into clean and unclean categories! The HOLY Father provided a clear distinction with these two categories by creating His Ordinances (Laws) on what to consume and what not to consume which is shown further below.
********Leviticus 19:2 - Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.********
***1st Corinthians 3:16-17 - Vs. 16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17. If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.***
1st Timothy 4:4-5 - Vs. 4. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5. For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. Saint Paul is speaking of the Clean animals (land, air, and waters) that the Most HIGH has ordained to be eaten; the HOLY Father did Not change His Dietary Law to accommodate the unlawful common foods most people enjoy eating!!!
Hebrews 5:12-14 – Vs.12. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. We should always study the first principles of the Oracles of GOD which is His Laws/Righteousness to stay on track. Once we have studied to show ourselves approved unto the Most HIGH then we have no need to stay on the same beginning level of wisdom; we can now move up to the next levels of understanding as we so desire in this walk of TRUTH, and in order to do that we must continue to study the first principles of the Most HIGH GOD because His Word manifolds and being fed milk occasionally keeps us grounded and humble! Also, the full-aged can discern from good and evil; in other words, a mature person living in the Word of GOD can differentiate between what is good and what is evil in any circumstances!!!
********Deuteronomy 14:2-3 – 2. For you art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth. 3. Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.********
Leviticus 20:25-26 – 25. Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. 26. And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine. Please be mindful of the Most HIGH’s Clean & Unclean Instructions in His Dietary LAW!!!
Leviticus 11:1-3 – 1. And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 2. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. 3. Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. The HOLY Father introduced the Dietary Law to the children of Israel where He laid down the foundation on what to eat from the land as well as the air, and the waters further in the chapter!
Leviticus 11:3 – Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. Specific characteristics of Clean Beasts approved to be eaten (domesticated and wild).
Deuteronomy 14:4-6 – 4. These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, 5. The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois. 6. And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat. Specified Clean Beasts that the Most HIGH GOD approved to be eaten (domesticated and wild).
Definitions of Cud, Cloven Hoof, and a Ruminant Stomach:
*Cud is a portion of food that returns from a ruminant's stomach to the mouth to be chewed for the second time. More precisely, it is a bolus of semi-degraded food regurgitated from the reticulorumen of a ruminant. Cud is produced during the physical digestive process of rumination. Cud chewing is also necessary because the foods ruminant animals eat are difficult to digest and it takes extra effort to get all of the nutrients from the food. (Article Source: Cud - Wikipedia)
*A cloven hoof, cleft hoof, divided hoof or split hoof is a hoof split into two toes. This is found on members of the mammalian order Artiodactyla. (Example Link: https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-b7cca7564c474d90749aedaa6dae434b) - (Article Source: Cloven hoof - Wikipedia)
*The ruminant stomach is a multi-chambered organ found in ruminants. It is usually composed of four separate chambers and allows digestion of large quantities of plant matter that would be relatively indigestible for most other types of mammals, in particular grass and the leaves. (Article Source: The Ruminant Stomach - Online Biology Dictionary (macroevolution.net)
Example of a Ruminant stomach (four chambers)
Isaiah 55:10-11 - 10. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. The Words of the Most HIGH GOD does Not come back Void! Meaning, whatever Words He spoke must come to pass and perform His purpose; He’s not a man, so He Does Not & Cannot Lie! His Word is Pure!!! His Word is Truth!!! His Word is Bond/it Stands and His Word is Alive!!!
***Malachi 3:6 - For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.***
*******LEVITICUS 3:17 - This shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: ye shall eat neither fat nor blood.*******
“The HOLY Father is so serious about the consumption of clean foods and not eating fat or blood for mankind (His image), so much so that He even had Nebuchadnezzar the king eat grass as oxen as part of his punishment for having a haughty and arrogant spirit (Daniel 4:24-33). The Most HIGH didn’t give him a heart of a lion for example because their diet consist of eating raw flesh, but instead gave him a heart of a clean beast, an ox! Our Heavenly Father knows the specification of all His creatures because He created them, and each one has their purpose in the earth.
Clean Beasts: Animals (ruminants) that both chew their cud and have divided (split) hooves on the same beast!
**Leviticus 11:3 - Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.**
The OX - The SHEEP - The GOAT
The HART - The ROEBUCK - The FALLOW DEER
The WILD GOAT - The PYGARG - The WILD OX - The CHAMOIS
*******LEVITICUS 3:17 - This shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: ye shall eat neither fat nor blood.*******
*******
UNCLEAN BEASTS: Animals that Do Not possess the balanced Law of a Clean Beast!
The CAMEL - The CONEY - The HARE - The SWINE
Leviticus 20:25-26 – 25. Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. 26. And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine. Please be mindful of the Most HIGH’s Clean & Unclean Instructions in His Dietary LAW!!!
Leviticus 11:4-8 – 4. Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 5. And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 6. And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 7. And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 8. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. Names of Unclean Beasts and their characteristics for our knowledge to Not consume them!
Deuteronomy 14:7-8 – 7. Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you. 8. And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase. Names of Unclean Beasts and their characteristics for our knowledge to Not consume them!
Definition of a Monogastric (Single) Stomach:
*A monogastric organism has a simple single-chambered stomach, compared with a ruminant organism, like a cow, goat, or sheep, which has a four-chambered complex stomach. Examples of monogastric herbivores are horses, rabbits, gerbils, and hamsters. Examples of monogastric omnivores include humans, rats, dogs, and pigs. Furthermore, carnivores such as cats. Herbivores with monogastric digestion can digest cellulose in their diets by way of symbiotic gut bacteria. However, their ability to extract energy from cellulose digestion is less efficient than in ruminants. (Source: Monogastric - Wikipedia)
Example of a Monogastric Stomach (Singular chamber):
***Leviticus 11:4-8 – Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: 4. as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 5. And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 6. And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 7. – And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 8. – Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
Isaiah 55:10-11 - 10. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. “The Words of the Most HIGH GOD does Not come back Void! Meaning, whatever Words He spoke Will come to pass and does Not return back to Him because His Word is Bond - it Stands!!!”
For example: He said to Not eat the flesh of a swine (pig), we are not to even touch its carcass which means it is a Very Bad thing to consume. Therefore, praying over it doesn’t make it okay to eat or any other unclean meat, He will Not bless it because it was Not accepted; it’s an Abomination (Detestable & A Disgusting thing) unto Him (No matter how well Washed and Seasoned the Unclean meat was made to be it still does not make it Clean; it’s in their DNA). He means what He says. He’s the same GOD Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow (Malachi 3:6)!!! His Laws still stands whether we ignore them or not!!! Some of the children of Israel chose death instead of being conformed to tasting the pig because it’s against the Most HIGH’s Dietary LAW!!!” Please read their testimonies in the Apocrypha book from the two links shown below. 1st Maccabees 1:41-47 & vs.62-64 - Also 2nd Maccabees 7 the entire chapter: https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/1-Maccabees-Chapter-1/ and https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/2-Maccabees-Chapter-7/

CLEAN FISHES: The Combination of Fins & Scales

Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; 22.

But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. These are the names of Clean flying creeping things that we can eat.
*******
Unclean Flying Creeping Fowls:
Leviticus 11:20 – All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
Leviticus 11:23-25 – 23. But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. 24. And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even. 25. And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
Deuteronomy 14:19 – And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
Leviticus 11:29-31 – 29. These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, 30. And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 31. These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even. The Most HIGH gave us a list of unclean creeping things that creep upon the earth.
Deuteronomy 14:21 – Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. Anything that died of itself, meaning that it died before its appointed time of slaughter – Not a fresh kill for consumption – For example: A clean beast that may have died from a disease, a parasite, or from an injury. The children of Israel are to be an Holy people unto the Most HIGH GOD!
Acts 10:14-15 – 14. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. Peter’s vision had nothing to do with food consumption; it was about the coming together of Jews and Gentiles to walk in the ways of the Most HIGH GOD through the Messiah Savior (Ha-Mashayach Yashai)! Also, this shows us that Peter knew the Dietary Law to know the difference between Clean & Unclean beasts, birds, fishes, and creeping things!!!
Note: Our Creator (Ha-Gadal MALAK shal YasharAhla = The Great KING of Israel) knows everything about His creation; from the smallest micro-organisms of the earth to the heights of the heavens, so we ought to obey His Laws because He knows what is best for our temple and being obedient is a beautiful thing in the HOLY Father’s eyes!!!
Please remember that the earth was been given into the hand of the wicked; the wicked created unrighteous societies and has made and is still making decisions that Do Not apply to us keeping our Father’s Laws including His Dietary Law. We should all know what we are putting inside of our bodies, especially, in these times. So, we should always read the label contents before purchasing the item(s) and if there’s a scientific name, look it up if not known. We the people are a Holy people (His people) and anything unclean is an abomination to us!!!
***Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy***
Leviticus 19:2 - Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.
As always, study to show yourselves approved unto GOD and do your research, and pray to the HOLY Father for guidance, and He will through His Holy Spirit!!!
*******LEVITICUS 3:17 - This shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: ye shall eat neither fat nor blood.*******
