THE DIETARY LAW!

“The Temple is now our physical bodies; let us be mindful of how we take care of it by what we put in it!!!” (ALY)
Psalm 147:19-20 - Vs.19. He sheweth His Word unto Jacob, His statutes and His judgments unto Israel. v.20. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD. “The Most HIGH gave His chosen people His Laws to live by and to be an example (a light) to their Gentile neighbors as well as the rest of the world; even within our captive lands, we are to be a light, an ambassador of the Living GOD in Christ Savior!!!”
Genesis 1:29-30 - Vs. 29. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. “Prior to sin, these two verses were the first instructions on what mankind and animals are to eat. Even though sin has entered the earth, these instructions still applies! Also, herbs and fruits are medicines for our temples. In regard to the eating of meats, once the knowledge of Good and Evil came into existence, the animal kingdom (land, air, and water) got divided into clean and unclean categories! The HOLY Father provided a clear distinction with these two categories by creating His Ordinances (Laws) on what to consume and what not to consume which is shown further below.”
********Leviticus 19:2 - Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be Holy: for I the LORD your God Am HOLY.********
***1st Corinthians 3:16-17 - Vs. 16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17. If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is Holy, which temple ye are.***
1st Timothy 4:4-5 - Vs. 4. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5. For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. “Saint Paul is speaking of the Clean animals (land, air, and waters) that the Most HIGH has ordained to be eaten; the HOLY Father did Not change His Dietary Law to accommodate the unlawful common foods most people enjoy eating!!!”
Hebrews 5:12-14 – Vs.12. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God (His Laws), and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the Word of Righteousness: for he is a babe. 14. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. “The full-aged in the Word can discern from good and evil; in other words, a mature person living in the Word of GOD can differentiate between what is good and what is evil in any circumstance! Once we have studied to show ourselves approved unto GOD then we have no need to stay on the same beginning level of wisdom; we can now move up to the next levels of understanding as we so desire in this walk of TRUTH, and in order to do that we must continue to study the first principles of the Most HIGH GOD (His Laws) because His Word manifolds!!!”

Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. 26. And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine. “Please be mindful of the Most HIGH’s Clean & Unclean Instructions in His Dietary LAW!!!”
Leviticus 11:1-3 – 1. And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 2. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. 3. Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. “ The HOLY Father introduced the Dietary Law to the children of Israel where He laid down the foundation on what to eat from the land as well as the air, and the waters further in the chapter!”
Leviticus 11:3 – Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. “Specific beasts (meats) approved to be eaten (domesticated and wild).”
Deuteronomy 14:4-6 – These are the beasts (ruminants) which ye shall eat…
Definitions of Cud, Cloven Hoof, and a Ruminant Stomach:
Cud is a portion of food that returns from a ruminant's stomach to the mouth to be chewed for the second time. More precisely, it is a bolus of semi-degraded food regurgitated from the reticulorumen of a ruminant. Cud is produced during the physical digestive process of rumination. Cud chewing is also necessary because the foods ruminant animals eat are difficult to digest and it takes extra effort to get all of the nutrients from the food. (Article Source: Cud - Wikipedia)
A cloven hoof, cleft hoof, divided hoof or split hoof is a hoof split into two toes. This is found on members of the mammalian order Artiodactyla. (Example Link: https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-b7cca7564c474d90749aedaa6dae434b) - (Article Source: Cloven hoof - Wikipedia)
The ruminant stomach is a multi-chambered organ found in ruminants. It is usually composed of four separate chambers and allows digestion of large quantities of plant matter that would be relatively indigestible for most other types of mammals, in particular grass and the leaves. (Article Source: The Ruminant Stomach - Online Biology Dictionary (macroevolution.net)
Example of a ruminant stomach (four chambers)
Isaiah 55:10-11 - 10. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. “The Words of the Most HIGH GOD does Not come back Void! Meaning, whatever Words He spoke must come to pass and perform His purpose; He’s not a man, so He Does Not & Cannot Lie! His Word is Pure!!! His Word is Truth!!! His Word is Bond/it Stands!!!”
***Malachi 3:6 - For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.***
*******LEVITICUS 3:17 - This shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: ye shall eat neither Fat nor Blood.*******
“The HOLY Father is so serious about the consumption of clean foods and not eating blood for mankind (His image), so much so that He even had Nebuchadnezzar the king eat grass as oxen as part of his punishment for having a haughty (prideful, proud, arrogant) spirit (Daniel 4:24-25). The Most HIGH didn’t give him a heart of a lion for example because they eat raw flesh, but instead gave him a heart of a clean beast, an ox! Our Heavenly Father knows the specification of all His creatures because He created them, and each one has their purpose in the earth. For example, the pig was made to help clean up the earth like a vacuum cleaner and a garbage disposal, so this beast can eat just about anything. Also, this unclean beast is full of Bacteria, and it Does Not sweat to release Toxins out of its body, therefore, those same Toxins & Bacteria ends up in the body of those who eats it which cause Diseases! The Most HIGH GOD Loves His image (men & women) so His LAWS are there to protect His image, so we ought to Obey them which shows that we Love and Respect Him!!!”

Definition of a Monogastric (Single) Stomach:
A monogastric organism has a simple single-chambered stomach, compared with a ruminant organism, like a cow, goat, or sheep, which has a four-chambered complex stomach. Examples of monogastric herbivores are horses, rabbits, gerbils, and hamsters. Examples of monogastric omnivores include humans, rats, dogs, and pigs. Furthermore, carnivores such as cats. Herbivores with monogastric digestion can digest cellulose in their diets by way of symbiotic gut bacteria. However, their ability to extract energy from cellulose digestion is less efficient than in ruminants. (Source: Monogastric - Wikipedia)

For example: “He said to Not eat the flesh of a swine (pig), we are not even to touch its carcass which means it is a Very Bad thing to consume. Therefore, praying over it doesn’t make it okay to eat or any other unclean meat, He will Not bless it because it was Not accepted; it’s an Abomination (Detestable & A Disgusting thing) unto Him (No matter how well Washed and Seasoned the Unclean meat was made to be it still does not make it Clean). He means what He says. He’s the same GOD Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow (Malachi 3:6)!!! His Laws still stands whether we ignore them or not!!!

Leviticus 11:10-12 – 10. And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: 11.

Names of UNCLEAN Fishes listed below (Not having the combination of Fins & Scales as well as Bottom Feeders):
Albacore Tuna
“All TUNAS of its kind are Unclean: - Skipjack aka Jack or Aku (mostly found in canned & pouched packaging), Yellowfin (aka Ahi or Bigeye tuna), Blackfin, Bluefin, Albacore (white meat), Bonito or Tombo.”
“A Tuna Does NOT have the full-bodied armor of protection in having overlapping scales all over its body which means it is prone to getting parasites and toxins like mercury, and is one of the most popular fish that is served in Sushi restaurants! Also, from our research and observation, its fins and other characteristics (i.e., smooth-bodied & having non-retractable fins) are similar to the Marlin & Swordfish (bill-family), Dolphins, and Sharks! If you compare a fish with a full body armor of overlapping scales and the tuna, you can clearly see the differences; tunas have Smooth skin by not having the Armored Scales on their body minus their head. When you remove the scales from a regular fish you can still see and feel where its armored scales were before!!!”

***TUNA FISH
Article Piece***Tunas have a few small visible scales on the sides of their head and have rudimentary (undeveloped) scales imbedded under the surface of their skin throughout their body. Rudimentary scales are extremely small, almost microscopic, non-overlapping scales. Tunas, as a fish that is primarily a scale-less, smooth-bodied skin fish, are often infested with parasites. Tunas do not have overlapping scales covering the vast majority of their large bodies to shield them from parasitic worms and toxins that can easily penetrate their unprotected skin.
***ENDOTHERMIC (WARM-BLOODED)
Tunas are endothermic, meaning they are warm-blooded or partially warm-blooded. Tunas can maintain a body temperature higher than that of the surrounding water. Tunas are closely related to other large endothermic, unclean billfish. Endothermic warm bloodedness is a characteristic trait that tunas share with billfish, marlins, sailfish, sharks, spearfish, swordfish, and marine mammals (dolphins, porpoises, seals, whales).
***FINLETS
Tunas and other scombrid fish have finlets located on the dorsal and ventral (rear top and bottom) of their body between their dorsal and anal fins and the caudal fin. These finlets are rigid, non- retractable appendages that are somewhat crustacean-like in appearance and texture. Any fish with any kind of non-retractable fins, like sharks and whales have, should be considered unclean.*** Please read the full article right below!!!

And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp. 33. And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague. 34. And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.

Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people? 21. Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; 22. Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in His Salvation: 23. Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, 24. And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. 25. Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full. 26. He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. 27. He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: 28. And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. 29. So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire; 30. They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, 31. The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. 32. For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. 33. Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. 34. When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.

They’re diet consist of “mostly fish but also amphibians (Ex: Tadpoles/Frogs, etc.), reptiles (Ex: Lizards, etc.), insects, rodents, and birds.” Source: Water Birds (desertmuseum.org) Seagulls are Scavengers; they’re diet is this “The food taken by gulls includes fish and marine and freshwater invertebrates, both alive and already dead; terrestrial arthropods and invertebrates such as insects and earthworms; rodents, eggs, carrion (Ex: dead flesh), offal, reptiles, amphibians, seeds, fruit, human refuse (human waste aka poop & urine), and even other birds.” Source: Gull - Wikipedia

However, I disagree on the “Clean birds have crops” statement because Unclean birds also have crops with the exception of the owl. The Junglefowl aka Chicken has a crop, but they’re Unclean because they are opportunistic eaters (having scavenger characteristics); as you will read and watch in the articles and videos below!!!”

Clean Flying Creeping Things:
Leviticus 11:20-23 – 20. All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you. 21. Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; 22. Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind. 23. But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. “The Clean Flying Creeping Things mentioned in these verses pertains to clean insects.”
Unclean Flying Creeping Fowls:
Leviticus 11:20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
Leviticus 11:23-25 – 23. But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. 24. And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even. 25. And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
Deuteronomy 14:19 – And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten. “Unclean creeping things that flieth includes Roaches, Crickets, Flies, Mosquitos, Ants, etc.)”
Leviticus 11:29-31 – 29. These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, 30. And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 31. These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
Deuteronomy 14:21 – Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself… “Meaning – it died before its appointed time of slaughter – Not a fresh kill – For example: it may have died from a disease, a parasite, or from an injury.”
Acts 10:9-34 – I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean...What GOD hath cleansed, that call not thou common. “Peter’s vision had nothing to do with food consumption; it was about the coming together of Jews and Gentiles to walk in the ways of the Most HIGH through the Messiah Savior (Ha-Mashayach Yashai)! Also, Peter knew the Dietary Law to know the difference between Clean & Unclean beasts!!!”
The Extremely Popular (common) UNCLEAN Fowl: The Chicken!!!
What did our HOLY Father tell us in times past? “The earth is given into the hand of the wicked!” This is not to be taken lightly!!! The wicked came to rule without the Laws of the Most HIGH, so this includes the Dietary Law because they weren’t given the Laws, Statutes, Judgments, and Commandments!!! This means that the wicked won’t and don’t care if GOD’s chosen people break His Laws; for them it’s all about making a profit and continuous ruler ship!!!
Yes, the other common white meat (the chicken) that most people consume almost every day is related to the lapwing fowl (Lev. 11:19 & Deut. 14:18)! Chickens “were not kept for food” until around the emerging time of the Hellenstic (Greek) & Roman Empire (a huge red flag) which confirms that GOD’s people were never eating this particular fowl prior to being conquered by the Greeks & Romans (the Greco-Roman era). And even though the name chicken/rooster is not specifically listed as one of the unclean fowls in the Torah (Law), it is also not specifically listed as one of the clean fowls either. It is obvious that the list for clean fowls was not specified as though it had been purposely removed. However, this is where our knowledge and understanding from our Creator comes in (study to show thyself approve unto GOD)! The lapwing fowl is listed in the Torah as one of the Unclean fowls and the chicken is from the same branch of that gene pool (See addtl. lapwing info. further below). As these old sayings go, “if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck then it’s a duck.” Chickens are Scavengers just like the pig; they are an opportunistic fowl, if it can be consumed (dead or alive), they’ll eat it. “(Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken - Chickens are omnivores.[21] In the wild, they scratch at the soil to search for seeds, insects, and animals as large as lizards, small snakes,[22] and young mice.” When some things are common it is popular or easily accessible/affordable to the masses (i.e. chicken, pork, tuna, etc.). Peter also mentioned these same words (common & unclean) in Acts 10:12-14 & Acts 11:7-9. According to the scriptures, our ancestors ate Doves, Pigeons, Quails, Partridges, and Sparrows for example. The children of Israel were shepherds/herdsmen raising cattle, sheep, and goats (John 2:13-16), a fowler (hunts fowl), and farmers/husbandmen (agriculturists) who sowed and reaped fruits, greens, and grains; nothing mentioned about raising (domesticating) any fowl; they hunted clean fowls. Example scripture in 1st Samuel 26:20!
Scavenger – a bird or animal that feeds on dead animals that it has not killed itself - https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/scavenger
Please see videos further below proving the characteristics of a chicken — Don’t be fooled by the Nice & Neat grocery store packaging; it was never made clean for consumption!!!
Just like most things in the world, the original name has changed and given another for whatever reason, but usually to hide something. The given domesticated name “Chicken” is actually referring to the baby of the fowl; a chick for short or a peep. The male is called a rooster or cock and the female a hen (all-female fowls are called hens). However, chicken is not its original name; its name is Gallus Montanusv (Mountain Cock) aka Junglefowl (red junglefowl) that was domesticated for human consumption (Gallus Domesticus or Domestic Cock). In addition, further research shows that this fowl is from the same gene pool as the Unclean Lapwing bird (Lev. 11:19); the Lapwing (a dung diver - it searches for its food in poop) is like the root word of this particular fowl (Please view the article on the right) - (Lapwing/Hoopoe, Grouse, Mountain Cock aka Junglefowl/Red Junglefowl/Domestic Cock/Chicken)!
Please view the Hebrew definition below about the lapwing bird!!!
Please read the articles below including the one which shows the reasons for Beak Trimming!
See Entire Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken - The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a type of domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus). They are one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a total population of more than 19 billion as of 2011. There are more chickens in the world than any other bird or domesticated fowl.[1] Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food (consuming both their meat and eggs) and, less commonly, as pets. Originally raised for cockfighting or for special ceremonies, chickens were not kept for food until the Hellenistic period (4th–2nd centuries BC).[2] [3]
Hellenistic Period (Grecia/Greek)…hmmm, let’s read on – The Hellenistic period covers the period of Mediterranean history between the death of Alexander the Great (the Greek) in 323 BC and the emergence of the Roman Empire as signified by the Battle of Actium in 31 BC[1] and the conquest of Ptolemaic Egypt the following year.[2] The Ancient Greek word Hellas (Ἑλλάς, Ellás) is the original word for Greece, from which the word Hellenistic was derived.[3]
“Unfortunately, chickens are not that different from the other scavengers of the world (i.e. vultures, pigs, etc.) – see videos further below proving this; cannibalism is another characteristic. These birds were domesticated and fed a mixture of food (chicken feed) which includes animal parts and fats from pigs and cows. If a pig was fed a vegan diet, it Would Still be a scavenger by nature; the same with the chicken and other animals that are scavengers!”
Scavenger – a bird or animal that feeds on dead animals that it has not killed itself - https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/scavenger
Carrion - Carrion (from Latin caro, meaning "meat") is the decaying flesh of dead animals, including human flesh. Carrion is an important food source for large carnivores and omnivores in most ecosystems. Examples of carrion-eaters (or scavengers) include vultures, condors, hawks, eagles,[1] hyenas,[2] Virginia opossum,[3] Tasmanian devils,[4] coyotes[5], and Komodo dragons. Many invertebrates, such as the carrion and burying beetles,[6] as well as maggots of calliphorid flies (such as one of the most important species in Calliphora vomitoria) and flesh-flies, also eat carrion, playing an important role in recycling nitrogen and carbon in animal remains.
***Reasons for Beak-trimming info Below:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poultry_farming
Beak trimming[edit] Main article: Debeaking
Laying hens are routinely beak-trimmed at 1 day of age to reduce the damaging effects of aggression, feather pecking, and cannibalism. Scientific studies have shown that beak trimming is likely to cause both acute and chronic pain.[42][43][44][45][46][47] Severe beak trimming, or beak trimming birds at an older age, may cause chronic pain. Following beak trimming of older or adult hens, the nociceptors in the beak stump show abnormal patterns of neural discharge, indicating acute pain.[42][48][49][50] - Source: Wikipedia.org

The 2nd Popular (common) Unclean fowl is the domesticated Turkey (same as the Wild Turkey)!
Please read this important article regarding the comparison of Wild Turkey and the Domesticated (supermarket) Turkey (Special Breeding - Red Flag/Not Natural): https://www.moultrienews.com/news/the-difference-between-wild-and-domestic-turkeys/article_60d7a616-105a-11ea-8197-a30c013f16eb.html
Please read the article on the Wild Turkey Diet and then make your own conclusion: https://www.thespruce.com/what-do-turkeys - This article was removed, however, there’s a snippet of it below.
Although wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) have a diet primarily of vegetation, they will eat insects, mice, lizards, and amphibians, wading in water to hunt for the latter. Domestic hens (chickens) (Gallus domesticus) share this opportunistic behaviour and will eat insects, mice, worms, and amphibians.
The wild turkey behavior is very similar to the chicken; based on our research, the turkey is unclean! As always, please do your own research!
The Grouse fowl, as previously mentioned is unclean; it is related to the lapwing fowl - Please do your own research!
The Diet of Clean Fowls
According to most wildlife centers, it is easy to find out what doves eat and provide them with a correct diet. Naturally, doves eat a variety of seeds, grains, greens, and fruits. Depending on the type, doves may also swallow fine sands or gravel to support their digestive system. When doves have problems finding normal food ingredients in the wild they might occasionally eat snails, earthworms, and insects. However, doves don’t usually eat insects in nature as they are vegetarians. Your pet doves wouldn’t normally eat such ingredients in the aviary. Doves and pigeons are best fed on a platform feeder. You need to ensure a balanced diet for these birds without exception. See the entire article here on Doves: https://www.birdfeedersspot.com/wild-birds-basics-tips/what-do-doves-eat.html
See the article here on Pigeons: https://www.cuteness.com/article/pigeons-like-eat
Quail are gallinaceous birds in that is they dwell on the ground, scratch for their food, and have crops and gizzards. Weed seeds, waste grain, and insects constitute the backbone of their intake. Quails are gleaners and seed scavengers, never disturbing grain or fruits until they have fallen to the ground. Food habits vary considerably according to the season and type of land use they inhabit. Those living in heavily cultivated areas consume more waste grain, while those around woodland fringes take more seeds falling from vines, trees, and shrubs. Southern Indiana quail lean heavily on corn, sassafras seeds, lespedeza, ragweed, wheat, foxtail, shattered acorns, insects, ash seeds, and soybeans. A tough gizzard and grit are employed to grind the flinty coverings from the rough fare. Bits of greenery provide vitamins, minerals, and moisture.
Gray Partridges primarily eat seeds and greens that they pick from the ground. Their diet includes seeds from wheat, barley, oats, corn, sunflower, foxtail, ragweed, and Russian thistle. Young partridges eat insects during the first few weeks after hatching. Adults also take insects during the summer. See the article here on Partridges: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Gray_Partridge/lifehistory
House Sparrows eat mostly grains and seeds, as well as livestock feed and, in cities, discarded food. Among the crops they eat are corn, oats, wheat, and sorghum. Wild foods include ragweed, crabgrass and other grasses, and buckwheat. House Sparrows readily eat birdseed including millet, milo, and sunflower seeds. Urban birds readily eat commercial bird seed. In summer, House Sparrows eat insects and feed them to their young. They catch insects in the air, by pouncing on them, or by following lawnmowers or visiting lights at dusk. See the article here on Sparrows: House Sparrow | Celebrate Urban Birds
Note: Our Creator (Ha-Gadawal MALAK shal YasharAhla = The Great KING of Israel) knows everything about His creation; from the smallest micro-organisms of the earth to the heights of the heavens, so we ought to obey His Laws because He knows what is best for our temple and being obedient is a beautiful thing in the HOLY Father’s eyes!!!
Please remember that the world has been given into the hands of the wicked; the wicked runs the show and is making decisions that Do Not apply to us keeping our Father’s Laws including His Dietary Law. We should all know what we are putting inside of our bodies, especially, in these times. So, we should always read the label contents before purchasing the item(s) and if there’s a scientific name, look it up if not known. We the people are a Holy people (His people) and anything unclean is an abomination to us!!!
***YE SHALL BE HOLY: FOR I THE LORD YOUR GOD AM HOLY***
Leviticus 19:2 - Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be Holy: for I the LORD your God am HOLY.
As always, study to show yourselves approved unto GOD and do your research, and pray to the HOLY Father for guidance, and He will through His Holy Spirit!!!
