Daugherty I've been super busy lately so haven't written anything on this page for a few weeks. However, my facebook feed threw up a blog post which sums up the food laws succinctly, so, with permission of the author, I have copied it here:
If the food laws were “done away with”…
Why is Isaiah describing end-time judgment on people eating pork?
Isaiah 66 is not about the past.
It is prophetic.
“For behold, Yahuah will come with fire…
For by fire and by His sword will Yahuah plead with all flesh…
And the slain of Yahuah shall be many.
Those who sanctify themselves…
Eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse,
Shall be consumed together,” says Yahuah.
(Isaiah 66:15–17)
This is clearly future. It describes His coming in fire and global judgment.
So if pork was made clean…
Why is it listed as a reason for destruction at the end?
Before you say:
“But Acts 10!”
Acts 10 was about people, not pork.
Peter literally explains the vision:
“Yahuah has shown me that I should not call any MAN common or unclean.”
Not food. Men. Gentiles.
Before you say:
“But Mark 7 says all foods are clean!”
Read it carefully. The issue was eating with unwashed hands; man-made traditions.
Yahusha was not redefining clean and unclean animals.
He was rebuking Pharisaical handwashing rules.
Before you say:
“But Paul said nothing is unclean!”
Shaul was addressing food sacrificed to idols and matters of conscience between believers, not rewriting Leviticus 11.
So here’s the question:
If Messiah abolished food distinctions…
Why does Isaiah describe people being consumed in fire for eating swine at the end of the age?
Did Yahuah change His definition of clean?
Or did we change the interpretation to fit appetite?
You cannot preach:
“The Law is nailed to the cross”
While Isaiah prophesies judgment for breaking it when He returns.
Either:
His standards are eternal or they changed.
Show where He changed them.
Not tradition.
Not commentary.
Scripture.
