✦ STEP 3: THE PHYSICAL TEMPLE CLEANSE ✦

The Temple Principle

“Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Ruach HaKodesh which is in you, which you have of Elohim, and you are not your own?” — 1 Corinthians (Qorintiyim) 6:19
You cannot invite the set-apart presence of Yahuah into a vessel filled with bottom-feeders, waste filters, and scavengers.

1. Creation Purpose: Clean Animals vs. Garbage Filters

Yahuah created an ecosystem where certain animals act as biological vacuum cleaners designed to consume rotting flesh, toxins, heavy metals, and waste from the earth and oceans:

2. De-Bunking Church Justifications for Eating Swine

Lie #1: “Kefa (Peter)‘s Vision of the Sheet in Acts 10 Cleansed All Meats”

  • The Reality: In Acts 10:14, Kefa (Peter) says: “Not so, Master; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.” This was over three years after Yahusha had resurrected! Kefa (Peter) had never eaten pork.
  • Kefa (Peter)‘s Own Interpretation in Acts 10:28:

    “And he said unto them, You know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but Elohim has shown me that I should not call any MAN common or unclean.”

  • Verdict: The vision was an allegory about Gentiles / scattered Israelites returning to the covenant, not a divine endorsement of pork chops!

Lie #2: “Yahusha Cleansed All Food in Mark 7:19”

  • The Context: In Mark 7:1–5, the debate was not about pork. The Pharisees were angry that Yahusha’s disciples did not perform the man-made Rabbinic handwashing ritual (Netilat Yadayim) before eating grain.
  • Yahusha was explaining that dirt on unwashed hands goes through the stomach and is eliminated; it does not defile the heart. To the Hebrew listener, pork was never considered “food” (okhel) in the first place.

Lie #3: “Shaul (Paul) said in 1 Timothy 4:4 that every creature is good to eat”

  • Look at the full verse: “For every creature of Elohim is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is set-apart by the WORD of Elohim and prayer.”
  • What sets food apart in the Word of Elohim? Leviticus 11! If a creature is called an abomination in the Word, it is not set-apart by prayer. You cannot pray over rat poison or swine and make it holy.

3. The End-Time Warning for Eating Swine’s Flesh

The prophet Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 66:15–17 delivers the most terrifying prophecy regarding Yahusha’s return:

“For, behold, Yahuah will come with fire, and with His chariots like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury…
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, says Yahuah.”

4. The Remnant Standard: Cleanse Your Kitchen

  1. Purge the Swine: Throw out pork chops, bacon, ham, lard, pork rinds, and pepperoni containing pork.
  2. Purge Ocean Scavengers: No shrimp cocktails, lobster tails, crab boils, oysters, or catfish.
  3. Check Ingredients: Watch for hidden gelatin (derived from pork/beef bones and hooves) and pork lard in baked goods, marshmallows, and candies.

4. Courtroom Cross-Examination (Oral Defense Q&A)

Use these questions and answers to teach your family or defend the truth when questioned:

Question 1: “Didn’t Kefa (Peter)‘s vision in Acts 10 make pigs and all animals clean to eat?”

  • The Defense:
    1. In Acts 10:14, Kefa (Peter) explicitly responds to the voice: “Not so, Master; for I have NEVER eaten anything that is common or unclean”—proving that decades after Yahusha’s ascension, the Apostles were still strictly keeping the dietary laws of Leviticus 11!
    2. In Acts 10:17, Kefa (Peter) doubted in himself what this vision should mean. If it was about pork, he wouldn’t be confused.
    3. In Acts 10:28, Kefa (Peter) gives the divinely inspired interpretation: “Elohim has showed me that I should not call ANY MAN common or unclean.” Cornelius and the Gentiles were arriving at the door; the vision was about welcoming repentant people, not eating pork chops!

Question 2: “Didn’t Yahusha declare all foods clean in Mark 7:19?”

  • The Defense:
    1. Look at the context in Mark 7:1–5: The Pharisees were rebuking the disciples for eating bread with unwashed hands (Netilat Yadayim)—a man-made Rabbinic tradition, not a biblical commandment.
    2. The Greek word used is Broma (βρῶμα), which means food/nourishment. In ancient Israel, an unclean animal (pig, dog, rat) was never classified as food to begin with!
    3. Yahusha was teaching that eating bread with physically unwashed hands does not defile the heart; He was not legalizing cannibalism or swine!

Question 3: “What does Yahuah say about eating swine when Yahusha returns in glory?”

  • The Defense:
    1. In Isaiah 66:15–17, the prophet describes the Day of Judgment: “For, behold, Yahuah will come with fire… and they that sanctify themselves… eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says Yahuah!”
    2. This is an end-time prophetic event. If Yahusha had cleansed swine at the cross, Yahuah would not consume pork-eaters in the final judgment of Isaiah 66!
