My Note: Israelites shall eat unclean things Ref. Scripture Hosea 9:3
Israelites shall eat unclean things in Assyria and we Christians still do today!, i.e. pork and shell fish
We eat it both spiritually against God's word and physically against His health laws.
Scripture: Hosea 9:1
¶Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone
a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.
2 The floor and the winepress
shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
3 They shall not dwell
in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return
to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
He's talking about us (we call ourselves Christians now) since we were carried off by Assyria and dispersed among the nations.
4 They shall not offer
wine offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their
sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof
shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the
house of the LORD.
5 What will ye do in the
solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
6 For, lo, they are gone
because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury
them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them:
thorns shall be in their tabernacles.
Isaiah 65:1 ¶I am sought of them that
asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold
me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
2 I have spread out my hands all the day
unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after
their own thoughts;
3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually
to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars
of brick;
4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge
in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh,
and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 Which say,
Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These
are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
6 Behold, it is written before me: I will
not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of
your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the
mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their
former work into their bosom.
Isaiah 65 is end time prophesy so let us not fool ourselves into thinking it is now somehow ok to eat a pig!
Isaiah 66:15 ¶For, behold, the
LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render
his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For by fire and by his sword will the
LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify
themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating
swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed
together, saith the LORD.
18 For I know their works and their thoughts:
it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall
come, and see my glory.
19 And I will set a sign among them, and
I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul,
and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off,
that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall
declare my glory among the Gentiles.
20 And they shall bring all your brethren
for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots,
and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain
Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering
in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
21 And I will also take of them for priests
and for Levites, saith the LORD.
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth,
which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your
seed and your name remain.
23 And it shall come to pass, that from
one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh
come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon
the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm
shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be
an abhorring unto all flesh.
If you didn't think Isaiah 65 was end time you must certainly agree that Isaiah 66 is!
End time means soon; after this current period of grace, the Christian era.
Are you still eating pork? And crab legs?
But, and this is even worse, we are also still eating spiritual fruit from the tree in the midst of the garden! Gen. 3:3
Genesis 3:1 ¶Now the serpent was more
subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he
said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree
of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent,
We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which
is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither
shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman,
Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye
eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing
good and evil.
6 ¶And when the woman saw that the
tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree
to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did
eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened,
and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together,
and made themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of the LORD
God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife
hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the
garden.
The
tree in the in the midst of the garden was Satan, the serpent.
It's
his spiritual fruit most of us still swallow up!
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
