GRACE - In Isaiah 66:15-17 I didnt understand this verse. If im not mistaken its said that until second coming eating meat is forbidden? That we need to stop eating meat at all?
JOEL - Here are the verses:
15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.
In verse 17, abomination refers to all unclean animals (Lev. 7:21; Isa. 65:4; 66:3). At the time this scripture was written swine and mice were both forbidden as food for the Lord's covenant people under the law of Moses (Lev. 11:7, 29). This is not meant to be an eternal law against eating meats; the act of eating forbidden foods simply represents all those who refuse to obey the laws of God, whatever they are and regardles of the time they are living in.
