But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept the charge of my sanctuary when the people of Israel went astray from me, shall come near to me to minister to me. And they shall stand before me to offer me the fat and the blood, declares Adonai YHWH.
Ezekiel 44:15
It appears that the Cohanim (Levitical priests) will serve as priests under Yeshua's supervision in the millennial kingdom with all of the ritual and ceremony that this entails. "Zadok" means "righteous". This could literally refer to the sons of a man named Zadok, or it could mean "the Cohanim who have remained faithful." #torah #endtimes #yeshua #jesus

A common passage used to say we can eat whatever we want is the first part of 1 Timothy 4. This comic is showing the ludicrousness of using this passage in this way. Not only is it taking the passage out of the context of the rest of the Bible (by not using the Biblical definition of food: Leviticus 11), but as the comic is showing, it isn't something that would apply anywhere else. Being thankful to eat something the Bible says not to eat doesn't make it okay to eat. There are a couple of other items I would like to point out with the passage specifically though. Let's look at it:
"3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer."
The first is on the "abstaining from certain foods" and "because it is consecrated by the word of God". The word of God, as in the words that the Bible records as coming from God, say what is and isn't food. Paul, who wrote this, would know that. So when he says "certain foods" here, he is speaking about not eating those things on the list of what God says you can eat. This isn't including things God says not to eat as those things are not foods.
The second thing comes from verse 7 which is the context of what Paul is speaking out against here: "7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. "
By taking the stance that 1 Timothy 4 is saying that we can eat any animal as long as we give thanks for it, is saying that Leviticus 11, the instructions on what animals God made for food and what ones He didn't, is a godless myth and old wive's tale...

Day Two of Week 4: Gevurah of Netzach
23rd Day of the Omer
Examine the discipline of your endurance. Endurance must be directed toward productive goals and expressed in a constructive manner. Is my endurance and determination focused to help cultivate good habits and break bad ones? Or is it the other way around? Does my endurance come from strength or weakness? Does it come out of deep conviction or out of defensiveness? Am I ever tenacious out of stubbornness and an unwillingness to acknowledge errors? Am I invested in certain decisions and not prepared to review them? Do I use my endurance against itself by being tenacious in my lack of determination?
Exercise for the day: Break one bad habit today.
