Why I Don’t Eat Pork

Many people are taught that Jesus/Yeshua declared all animals clean and are currently fit for human consumption.  However, if we really take a closer look and examine this not only Scripturally, but logically, we will find out that this is simply not true.

I understand that this may be a difficult area for some, however I hope that in reading this, it may prompt you to do further research and most importantly seek out the Father humbly in prayer.  May this also be an encouragement to others who have been revealed this truth, and also glorify our King and Saviour, Yeshua/Jesus.

Offense: The Bait of Satan

Matthew 24:10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.(KJV)

The word offended is derived from a Greek word skandalon:

1.) 4625 skándalon – properly, the trigger of a trap (the mechanism closing a trap down on the unsuspecting victim); (figuratively) an offense, putting a negative cause-and-effect relationship into motion.

2.) 4625 /skándalon (“the means of stumbling”) stresses the method (means) of entrapment, i.e. how someone is caught by their own devices (like their personal bias, carnal thinking).

3.) [“4625 (skándalon) is the native rock rising up through the earth, which trips up the traveler, hence, of Jesus the Messiah, to the Jews who refused him” (Souter); “properly, the bait-stick of a trap, a snare, stumbling-block” (Abbott-Smith); “the stick in the trap that springs and closes the trap when the animal touches it” (WP, 1, 46).] https://biblehub.com/greek/4625.htm

A Pure Language that Comes from a Pure Heart

Zephaniah 3:9For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.(KJV)

Many have said that the above passage has to do with the restoration of the Hebrew language.  Is this true?  Does this passage have anything to do with Hebrew, or any earthly language? Or does it rather show that this is fulfilled through Messiah and His cleansing blood?  For it is only through a purified heart, that we may call upon Him, in a purified tongue, and serve Him together in Spirit and truth.

Tattoos/Piercings: Defilement of the Body/Temple

 If you were able to look into a mirror and see your spiritual condition, would you?  If the condition of your heart was revealed would you change? 

When a heart is changed and circumcised by the hands of Yeshua/Jesus, then the change will reflect in our actions and our appearance.  We go from darkness to light, a new creation.

Acts 26:18To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me(Yeshua).

Wormwood: Partaking in the Bitter Waters that flow from the Heart

In the book of Rev(ch 8) it talks of a third of the waters becoming “wormwood”, and many men dying. Wormwood is interpreted as “intense bitterness”, so are we looking for literal waters that are becoming bitter, or rather waters becoming bitter from within our own heart? Is it also perhaps a curse that comes upon us when we walk according to our own ways?

We are all liken to clay earthen vessels. A vessel is used for a great many things, one of the things it is made for, is to hold water.

Depending on the water source, what is poured into the vessel, will also be poured out.  For those who have been crucified with Messiah, partake in the Living Water, and out of them should flow the Spirit.

However, within earthen vessels, it is also possible for a pure water source to be poured into it, but becomes contaminated, due to bitter waters dwelling already within it. It is one thing to be a poured out offering and to pour into others; however, what is being poured out from another to another, should be the same water source; the same Spirit.
