For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Romans 14:17 ESV
The Kingdom of Heaven doesn't exist to enforce rules of purity or any rules at all. Rather, the rules exist to aid in the purity of the Kingdom.
This is very similar to Yeshua's statement that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. We don't exist in order to be obedient and observe rites. We obey God's instructions and we observe rites that God has commanded or that don't violate his commands for the sake of our relationships with him and one another.
Christian prophetic thought has long understood that God’s timetable centers on Israel. It’s actually more than that, as Samuel Wearp can tell you. Not only is Israel the center of prophecy, it’s the reason for prophecy. The entire history of humanity revolves around God’s creation, redemption, judgment, restoration, and exaltation of His covenant nation of Israel.
Samuel has been connected to Israel for many years, particularly through his family’s business, Blessed Buy Israel, and the bridgebuilding work of Ten From the Nations. Now, as a new husband, he and his wife, Keila, are embarking on a new phase of their journey in support of Israel and the Jewish people. Their work is called Rising Sparks, a ministry with the goal of helping Christians connect to Jesus, Israel, and Judaism through a biblical lens. Their first major project is a sheep shearing expedition to Israel to assist Judean shepherds! Samuel tells us about that and much more in this engaging interview

For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died.
Romans 14:15 ESV
In the context of eating meat that could have been sacrificed to idols, what you eat could grieve your brother in 3 ways.
1. He could be disgusted by it, making fellowship difficult.
2. He could believe you are engaging in idolatry by eating meat that was dedicated to a false god.
3. He might take your liberty as permission to do something counter to his own conscience.
Pressuring someone to violate his own conscience could lead to him to committing an actual sin because he no longer trusts his own judgment. Overruling your own conscience in one case makes it that much easier to overrule it in the next, until you really are crossing the line into what God has forbidden.

So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil.
Romans 14:16 ESV
The "good" isn't your liberty to eat whatever you want, but your table fellowship with your brother and the Kingdom of God and the righteousness and peace and joy mentioned in the next verse, not whatever you believe about meat or diet or any man-made religious traditions. "Don't destroy him for whom Christ died. Don't therefore make your dining together into a cause for him to speak evil of you and that Kingdom."
Interesting video showing that only 16% of Christians actually believe in the Trinity. A little over 30 minutes.

Ezra 6:22, 'And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the Lord had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.” The feast of unleavened bread was observed with joy, that is worth repeating. Doing without something familiar is often considered a burden, but looking forward to our Creator preparing to change the world is worth celebrating.
