We read in Yeshayahu (Isa) 66:15-17 “For look, YHWH comes with fire and with His chariots, like a whirlwind, to render His displeasure with burning, and His rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by His sword YHWH shall judge all flesh, and the slain of YHWH shall be many, those who set themselves apart and cleanse themselves at the gardens after ‘One in the midst, eating flesh of pigs and the abomination and the mouse, are snatched away, together,” declares YHWH.”
Do you eat your pork, abomination and mouse?
Do you want to be cut off from the chosen Elohim?
Yeshayahu (Isa) 66:22-24 “For as the new heavens and the new earth that I make stand before Me,” declares YHWH, “so your seed and your name shall stand. And it shall be that from New Moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares YHWH. And they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm shall not die, and their fire not be quenched. And they shall be repulsive to all flesh!”
Do you meet from Shabat on Shabat as it says YHWH or do you do it according what men say?
In Vayikra (Lev) 11:7 and Devarim (Deu) 14:8 says you mustn’t eat pork, abomination or rats:
Vayikra (Lev) 11:7 “and the pig, though it has a split hoof, completely divided, yet does not chew the cud, it is unclean to you“.
Devarim (Deu) 14:8 “And the pig is unclean for you, because it has a split hoof, but does not chew the cud. You do not eat their flesh or touch their dead carcasses“.
Why be rebellious to the word of Elohim? Does that improve your life?
Yeshayahu (Isa) 65:2-5 “I have held out My hands all day long to a stubborn people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts; the people who provoke Me continually to My face, who slaughter in gardens, and burn incense on altars of brick; who sit among the graves, and spend the night in secret places, who eat flesh of pigs, and the broth of unclean meat is in their pots, who say, ‘Keep to yourself, do not come near me, for I am set-apart to you!ʼ These are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day.”
People like that do not meet the word of the creator.
Many times to contradict what the word of Elohim says, many use verses taken out of context:
Peter in Acts 10:10-17 explain “And he became hungry and wished to eat. But while they were preparing, he fell into a trance, and he saw the heaven opened and a certain vessel like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth, in which were all kinds of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping creatures, and the birds of the heaven. And a voice came to him, “Rise up, Kĕpha, slay and eat.” But Kĕpha said, “Not at all, Master! Because I have never eaten whatever is common or unclean.” And a voice came to him again the second time, “What Elohim has cleansed you do not consider common.” And this took place three times, and the vessel was taken back to the heaven. And while Kĕpha was doubting within himself about what the vision might mean, look, the men who had been sent from Cornelius, having asked for the house of Peter, stood at the gate,”.
Does Elohim say that everything you eat is good? No, he never said it. How do we know this is true?
Lets see the answer in Acts 10:34-35 “And opening his mouth, Kĕpha said, “Truly I see that Elohim shows no partiality, but in every nation, he who fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.”
YHWH never refers to food, it refers to people. The law regarding pork or unclean food remains valid. (See Matetiyahu (Mat) 5:17-19)
Also many people use the verses of 1 Timothy 4:1-5 “But the Spirit distinctly says that in latter times some shall fall away from the belief, paying attention to misleading spirits, and teachings of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having been branded on their own conscience, forbidding to marry, saying to abstain from foods which Elohim created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. Because every creature of Elohim is good, and none is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is set apart by the Word of Elohim and prayer.”.
Do these verses say that you can eat even rubbish if you take it with Thanksgiving and prayer, being sanctified?
Of course not, it only tells us that in future times after these events happened (32 to 68 AD), there will be people who forbid to marry and eat “meat” at Easter, which are spirit deceivers with doctrines of demons. We know that they refer to the time between 340 and 1500 A.D. with the Catholic Church. All that Elohim think is good, but not everything is profitable.
1 Corinthious 10:23 “All is permitted me, but not all do profit. All is permitted me, but not all build up”.
Before the law of Elohim was given to Moshe the Creator said:
Bereshit (Gen) 9:1-4 ”And Elohim blessed Noaḥ and his sons, and said to them, “Bear fruit and increase, and fill the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you is on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the heavens, on all that creeps on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea – into your hand they have been given. Every moving creature that lives is food for you. I have given you all, as I gave the green plants.But do not eat flesh with its life, its blood. “. He clearly told them to have children and eats everything, but without blood.
So what is it that you fulfill the commandments of Elohim?
Because Elohim what you do doesn’t like it.
Paul himself confirms this in:
Acts 21:24-26 “Take them and be cleansed with them, and pay their expenses so that they shave their heads. And all shall know that what they have been informed about you is not so, but that you yourself also walk orderly, keeping the Torah. But concerning the gentiles who believe, we have written and decided that they should keep themselves from what is offered to idols, and blood, and what is strangled, and whoring. Then Shaʼul took the men on the next day, and having been cleansed with them, went into the Set-apart Place to announce the completion of the days of separation – until the offering should be presented for each one of them”. (Paul follow the Law of Moshe to perfection)
Paul continuos saying in 1 Corinthious 10:28 “And if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it because of the one pointing it out to you, and on account of the conscience, for “The earth belongs to YHWH, and all that fills it.”.
Remember at the end of times you will be judge…
