As I was listening to a sermon on a completely
different subject, I ran across the following scriptures about eating unclean
foods. The scriptures from Isa 66 (ISV) are
talking about “right before the millennium starts” (first we have to prove to ourselves
this is about the future return of Jesus to the earth). Something to think about.
Jesus said
“from all the nations to my holy mountain Jerusalem and all
humanity will come to worship before me” and they will “look upon the
dead bodies of the people who rebelled against me”.
Who are the dead bodies that Jesus was talking about,
which is what I found interesting. They
were the individuals who had judgment on them and slain by Jesus. What did
these individuals have in common, vs 17 “those who eat the meat of pigs, disgusting things, and rats, are all
alike” is what shocked me for I do not remember reading this about the
millennium. These scriptures is telling
me that those who eat these things will be the dead bodies. See you all in part 2. Blessing

Isa 66:16: For with fire and with his sword the LORD will proceed to judgment on all humanity, and those slain by the LORD will be many."
Isa 66:17: "Those who consecrate and purify
themselves to enter the groves, following the one at the center of those who eat the
meat of pigs, disgusting things, and rats, are all alike," says
the LORD.
Isa 66:18: "But as for me, I know their actions and
their thoughts. Come
and gather all nations and languages, and they will come and see my
glory.
Isa 66:20: They
will bring all—yes, all!—of your kindred from all the nations to my holy mountain Jerusalem
as an offering to the LORD—on horses, in chariots, in wagons, and on
mules—yes, even on mules!—and on camels," says the LORD, "just as the
Israelis bring a grain offering in a clean vessel to the LORD's house.
Isa 66:21: Then I will also select some of them for myself as priests and
as Levites," says the LORD.
Isa 66:22: "For as the new heavens and the new earth that I
am about to make
will endure before me," says the LORD, "so will your descendants and
your name endure.
Isa 66:23: And from New Moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to
Sabbath, all humanity will come to worship before me,"
says the LORD.
Isa 66:24: "Then they will go out and look upon the dead
bodies of the people who rebelled against me. For their worm will
not die, nor will their fire be extinguished, and they will remain an object of
revulsion to all humanity."
