What You Eat, Is What You Get"There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God."
(Ecclesiastes 2:24)
Materialistic man is destined to enjoy their life while they live here on earth, to eat all kinds of foods they want and drink everything they love.
"Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun."
(Ecclesiastes 8:15)
Man quoted, "Life is so short", so they believe that they must eat delicious foods that will enjoy their tastes.
"And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die."
(Isaiah 22:13)
So when it came to deliciousness, man want to eat flesh and pork was one of the most popular flesh dishes. There is no doubt about the delicious taste of pig's flesh although people know that eating often of it was very bad to their health, they still love eating much of it.
That is why God forbid to eat swines because of unhealthy and negative benefits it will gave.
But did you know why we should not eat swine spiritually? Because it did not chewing the cud.
"And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you."
(Leviticus 11:7)
Chewing spiritually the food we eat is very important. Digestion is important because it seperate the minerals and the waste of the food and chewing is the first stage of digestion when food enter the mouth. But is this literal? Of course not. We are here to learn spiritually and not literally.
Spiritual digestion or spiritual chewing are the same as seperating good and evil. If you don't chew what you eat, all kinds of evil will also go inside your body and give you sickness.
Do you remember what happened when demons came out from the body of a wild man?
"Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked."
(Luke 8:33)
The swine is a symbol of a man who don't chew good and evil, that is why their bodies can easily used by evil spirit.
Now, do you still want to eat delicious flesh of swine?
