''[[Children of Israel]]''
''[[Le 11:2 ]] Speak unto the '''children of Israel''', saying, These [are] the beasts which '''ye shall eat''' among all the beasts that [are] on the earth.''
Are you a child of Israel? Most of us are not descended from the man Jacob, who was given the name Israel, so literally, the dietary law never applied to us. This is one reason we don't hear much preaching on it i some circles. People have taken various positions on the law, discussed below, because they don't know how to understand it.
Are you a child of Israel? Let me suggest that you are, and we know so by using the tools John taught us to parse out the meaning of 'Israel'.
:'''Israel''' ''Yisra’el'' [[ישׂראל ]] - man [[יש]] joined by revelation [[ר]] to God [[אל]] . If you are spiritual Israel; joined to God by revelation, then you recognize 'eating' as a metaphor for 'learning'. The name Israel is one source for Paul's teaching that the wife (church) shall learn from her husband (Christ) <ref>1Ti 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.</ref>
Congratulations, you are a child of Israel. We know that the literal law no longer applies, because God changed it with Peter. <ref> Acts 10:11ff</ref> But since God is speaking to us now, as the true children bonded to him by revelation, as per the meaning of the name 'Israel', we need to understand the revelation. The literal children had to obey the law, his spiritual children need to understand the teaching learned from their performance in the dinner theater.
Notice that there was no penalty for not eating the clean animals. They could have chosen to be vegetarians. But then they would not have been actors in the play.
