Pamphlet #4242

My Note:  Physically eating Swine's flesh is an abominable thing to do!  Spiritually eating the fruit from the tree which is in the midst of the garden is an abominable thing to do! Ref. Deuteronomy 14:3  Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing, either physically or spiritually!

Physically, That would be animals that don't chew the cud and and have divided cloven hoofs, i.e. Pork because it cheweth not the cud or sea food without fins or scales, i.e. Shell fish, Cat fish, etc. because they have no scales. They are an abomination unto you. See Deuteronomy chapter 14 and Leviticus chapter 11.

Spiritually, That would be Satan's lies. See Matthew 24:15  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Mark 13:14  ¶But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

Genesis 2:15  And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16  ¶And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Matthew 24:15  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Mark 13:14  ¶But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

We should not be physically eating pork any more than we should be spiritually eating up Satan's lies. Why, because God said not to!

God through Moses told us what we were not to eat physically in order to stress what not to eat spiritually in these end times. God also through Moses told us to stay away from the serpent in the garden.





Paul taught us in 1 Corinthians to learn spiritual lesson from the physical examples given in the old testament.

1 Corinthians 10:1  ¶Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2  And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3  And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4  And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5  But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6  ¶Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7  Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8  Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9  Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10  Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11  Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12  Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Right here is one apple you better not eat!
Satan's big lie!

Scripture:  2 Thessalonians 2:1  ¶Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2  That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3  ¶Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

This would be Satan, the false-christ, coming to earth first and convincing most people that he is God which is why Jesus said, 'those who endure until the end shall be saved"; not the ones who believe Satan's lie and he takes first in the field.

5  Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9  Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Satan's lie!

12  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
