I would argue that meat-eating was
most likely the original sin and that meat eating has and will continue to play
a major role in future disease epidemics, pollution, and global warming.
Scripture clearly shows God's desire to bring back the vegan/vegetarian diet He
started out with in the beginning (Genesis 1:29-30)
and plans to end with as described in Isaiah 11:6-9.
You're not going to be slaughtering animals for food in the Kingdom of God (run
by Jesus Christ) on earth as is made clear in verses 6-9. "They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain" shows us a final change for the better.
It's my belief that the food God did not want Adam and Eve
to eat was, in fact, meat and not a fruit or an apple from a "tree of the
knowledge of good and evil" which is obviously a symbolic gesture on God's
part. Notice how God made clothes from the skins of animals for Adam and Eve
after they ate the forbidden food. Genesis 3:21.
Again, my belief is that God didn't kill those animals, but Adam and Eve did. God made those clothes
for them as a form of punishment and a reminder to them that they did wrong by killing and eating the animals.
They went beyond what God had established as the best diet for man.
From then on, God has been on a mission to teach man how to
eat meat in the healthiest way as is possible and to eventually teach man to
not eat meat at all - due to its unhealthy properties and disease-causing side
effects. In comes the laws forbidding the eating of blood and fat (Genesis 9:4; Leviticus 3:17), animals found dead (Leviticus 7:24)
and the eating of the clean animals as opposed to unclean ones which are more
prone to disease. Leviticus 11.
In unclean animals like swine, for instance, the fat is marbled into the meat
making it very difficult to remove. The fat is where the toxins accumulate. See
“Animal Fat”, below. The first time we see the fat removed and given to God as
an offering is with Adam and Eve’s son Abel. Genesis 4:4.
This is further evidence of meat-eating very early on and of God’s desire to
teach fat removal. The animal
sacrificial system also had its beginnings at this time.
It’s highly probable that Noah and those on the Ark with him
were eating meat with the blood still in it (fn1) and this caused God to permit meat
eating on the condition of draining the blood. Genesis 9:1-4.
The blood contains heme which is very unhealthy for human consumption. See, for
example, “Heme Iron” and “The Safety of Heme vs. Non-Heme Iron”, below. God
likely foresaw that man was not
Today, many can now see how crazy and deadly meat eating has
become. Zoonotic diseases are rampant, and more are predicted for the future
due to meat markets, factory farming and hunting animals for food. And, there’s
always the risk of creating dangerous flesh-eating bacteria that’s resistant to
antibiotics due to the excessive use of antibiotics in humans and in animal
feed on factory farms. There’s also the threat of global warming and pollution
created by factory farming. Below are links to more information on the problems
created by meat eating.
It’s interesting to note that the prophecy in Revelation 6:7-8 indicates the four horsemen have authority to kill by
plagues and by wild beasts among other methods. The prophecy in Ezekiel 5:17
is also very similar saying: “I will send famine and wild beasts against you …
Plague and bloodshed will sweep through you.” Could these plagues be tied to
wild beasts being factory farmed or hunted for food? For instance, bats,
monkeys, ducks, etc., are wild animals that have given us the coronavirus,
ebola, HIV, bird flu, etc., when taken into captivity and used as food. Is it possible God is using COVID-19 today to push more people in the direction of a meatless diet? It sure looks that way. Even if you believe that COVID-19 escaped from a laboratory in China doing “
gain of function research”, you must understand that these scientists doing that type of research are manipulating animal viruses to become more lethal and transmissible to humans in the interests of prevention instead of allowing nature to take its course through
micro-evolutionary change.
Footnotes
1. Notice the fear animals have of
man after leaving Noah’s Ark (Genesis 9:2)
compared with the peaceful co-existence of man and animals during Christ’s
Millennial reign described in Isaiah 11:6-9.
Also, notice that Noah had what was termed “livestock” on the Ark. Genesis 8:1.
This is evidence of meat eating on the Ark and before the flood against God’s
original orders in Eden to eat a vegan diet.
