This is why I ask people to find a church where the Bible is being taught in its entirety. The person who wrote this post starts it with an image of a pig. The caption on the Image reads, "Am I Food?" " A critical look at what is food and whether or not we are to eat pig or other unclean animals.
She says Yeshua (Jesus) is going to "destroy those eating swine when He returns the second time.
I will reply to this later this evening.
Here is her original post!
“Rise Peter. Kill and eat.” But did he get up and eat pig? Let’s look. 
One of the greatest modern assumptions is that if something can be physically eaten, then God must have intended it to be food. But scripture never defines food that way.
According to the biblical standard, food is not determined by culture, appetite, survival trends, or human preference. Food is defined by the Creator Himself.
In Leviticus 11 and deuteronomy 14, God separates the animal kingdom into two categories: what is permitted for human consumption and what is not. The distinction is intentional, ordered, and rooted in holiness. Scripture never presents unclean animals as “food that became acceptable later.” They are consistently identified as outside the boundaries of what God designed for His people to eat.
This is important because we often blur the line between “edible” and “food.” They are not the same thing.
A human being can technically consume almost anything. People have eaten poisonous plants, insects, dirt, blood, rodents, and even other humans in extreme circumstances throughout history. But the mere ability to consume something does not redefine its created purpose.
Humans are never called food in scripture. Dogs are never called food in scripture. Vultures are never called food in scripture. Pigs are never called food in scripture. Shellfish are never called food in scripture.
The biblical definition matters. All animals are animals and flesh, but not all animals are food.
Leviticus 11:7 says regarding the pig,
“And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud he is unclean to you.”
Notice the wording carefully. It does not say “eat it if you want.” It does not say “it was unhealthy only for ancient times.” It says it is unclean to you.
Likewise concerning sea creatures,
“Whatever in the seas does not have fins and scales… they shall be an abomination unto you.” Leviticus 11:10-12
These distinctions are not random dietary preferences. They indicate for us what animals we are to eat as food and what animals are not food for us. They also reflect separation and holiness. God repeatedly tells His people to distinguish between the clean and the unclean because holiness touches every area of life, including what we place into our bodies.
In revelation, we still see the distinction between clean and unclean birds. The birds could no longer be called unclean if the law had been changed and their distinguishing mark removed.
Revelation 18:2:
And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!
Some argue that Peter’s vision in Acts 10 abolished these distinctions. But Peter himself explained the meaning of the vision.
“God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.” Acts 10:28
The vision was about people, specifically Gentiles, being welcomed into a covenant relationship with God. Peter never concluded that pigs became food.
If the vision had truly changed God’s dietary instructions, Peter missed the interpretation entirely. Yet scripture records his own explanation for us.
Likewise, Messiah never declared pigs or shellfish clean. In Mark 7, the entire discussion centers around ritual handwashing traditions added by men, not the overturning of Leviticus 11. The Pharisees accused the disciples of eating bread with unwashed hands according to tradition of man which was a commandment not in the Torah, but in the oral traditions. Yeshua rebuked elevating man-made traditions above the commandments of God.
The context is not pork. The context is not shellfish. The context is eating bread with ceremonially unwashed hands, which is a rule that God never made or put in the Torah. It was a rule from the oral traditions.
Furthermore, Isaiah 66:17 even gives a future warning connected to the return of Messiah.
“Those who sanctify themselves… eating pig’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse shall come to an end/be consumed together, declares YHVH.”
That is future tense.
Long after the resurrection.
Long after Acts 10.
Yeshua will destroy those eating swine’s flesh when He returns the second time.
Modern culture treats Yah’s food instructions as optional while simultaneously acknowledging that every created species has a designed diet. We understand that feeding the wrong food to animals destroys their health. Yet many become offended at the idea that the Creator may also have established boundaries for human consumption.
Scripture presents God not merely as Savior, but also as Designer. And the Designer determines how we function.
Let’s re-examine how we view scripture and remember the basic premise. God has not, will not, and never will change.
Malachi 3:6 “For I am the LORD, I do not change. “
We are told that false prophets would be the ones who would try to take us away and turn us away from obedience to the commandments of Yah. According to Deuteronomy 13. Do not be led astray this day by the false prophets behind the pulpits. I love you all! May Yah set His people free! Love, Mama Mel
Oh, and by the way, Jesus never ate pig, and He never will eat pig when he returns to rule on earth from Jerusalem for the thousand years during the millennial kingdom. Just saying."
