LevITICUS 11:2

Leviticus 11 goes on to explain that only animals that chew the cud and have a split hoof, only fish with fins and scales and only birds that are not birds of prey or carrion eaters can be eaten.

that you were at that time without the Messiah (Christ), alienated from the citizenship of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who used to be far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Ephesians 2:12-13 Net

You have been brought into (near) the citizenship of Israel by the blood of Christ.

Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them and participated in the richness of the olive root

The tree Paul is referencing here is Israel, represented by the natural branches that were broken off, the wild branches are Gentiles, which are grafted into the tree representing Israel.

Add references to aliens (non-Israelites) being joined to Israel by their faith in God.

Yeshua was a Jewish Rabbi, he led a sinless life. Sin is transgression of the law.

If we did what Yeshua did (WWJD – What would Jesus Do?), we would keep the commandments including the food laws. Do you think Jesus ate pig?

Stay tuned not done here.
