The Right to Alter or Abolish the Government

BY GERALD R. THOMPSON

If I were to tell you without qualification that the American people have a YAHUAH-given right to alter or abolish the U.S. government or any state government and to replace them with something new, how would that strike you? 

Would you reject the idea because it is only me who is saying it? 

Does the idea seem too radical, or too extreme? 

Would it make a difference if you realized that without this type of radical extremist thinking, there wouldn’t be a United States of America at all? 

Let’s put it into context:

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are … endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights…. That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men…. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. … Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Declaration of Independence (1776).

Still think the idea of a right to alter or abolish any of our present governments is too radical or extreme? 

Well, some people certainly think so, and they’ve taken steps to make sure nothing like what happened in the American Revolution ever happens again. 

First, they have taken pains to discredit the Declaration and to restrict the way it is taught in government approved curricula and government sponsored schools (including universities). 

Second, they have enacted statutes to strongly discourage any “throwing off” of the government, to wit:

Rebellion or insurrection. Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof … shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both…. 18 U.S.C. §2383.

Seditious conspiracy. If two or more persons … in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, … they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both. 18 U.S.C. §2384.

Advocating overthrow of Government. Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State … by force or violence, * * * Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both…. 18 U.S.C. §2385.

Just let the above words sink in for a moment. First we have a quotation from the founding document of our nation, beloved and cherished by Americans for well over 200 years, to the effect that people have not only the right, but the duty, to throw off an abusive, despotic or tyrannical government which tramples on their individual rights.

Then we have laws enacted by that same nation having the primary purpose of ensuring that no one ever overthrows the existing government, conspires to overthrow it, or advocates its overthrow – without regard to whether those actions might actually be justified because the government has become abusive, despotic or tyrannical. 

Which illustrates a truism – the people have an absolute right to alter or abolish any given form of government, but the persons in power absolutely never want people to exercise that right.

It should be painfully obvious this is one reason (among others) why the Declaration of Independence has not been seriously regarded as law by legal scholars for over 100 years (and why it has been denigrated in academia). If people actually took the words of the Declaration at face value it would create all kinds of problems for our modern world, and people in academia, law and government have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.

Belief in a government of limited powers, or (God help us!) a government that can be discarded from time to time, would put politicians and government workers of all stripes (as well as those in the symbiotic fields of law and education) at risk for losing their jobs – an intolerable risk. That is one reason why mainstream political culture left the worldview of the American founders in the ash heap of history long ago.

However, I believe the Declaration yet has things to teach us that not only have value, but authority, as we deal with the pressing issues of an overreaching, over-regulating, abusive, and dare I say, increasingly tyrannical American government (both state and federal). I’d like to show you that the ideas embodied in the Declaration are really not radical or extreme at all. In fact, it’s not even complicated.

For this purpose, I will assume the Declaration’s statements are not based on mere political expediency (i.e., that the founders just said whatever they needed to say to give their political goals plausibility). I assume the founders were not a bunch of political charlatans – they actually believed what they said and were not deceived in their beliefs either. So in that light, let’s consider the evidence from history and the laws of nature and nature’s God, and see whether we can discover any eternal principles which undergird the Declaration’s statements.

NOT BY FORCE OR VIOLENCE

I am not advocating the exercise of any right to alter or abolish our forms of government by force or violence. I say this not because Title 18 of the U.S. Code forbids it, but because I simply don’t need to. The right to alter or abolish is a natural right which is perfectly capable of being exercised lawfully without force or violence.

The laws of nature and nature’s ELOHIYM allow for a way, actually several ways, to bring about fundamental government change peacefully without armed conflict. The most likely scenario for doing such a thing in America would be through a convention of states – either pursuant to Article V of the U.S. Constitution or apart from it through a Congress of States. At the state level, the people can similarly call for a constitutional convention directly.

If we look at the American Revolution, we can see that this is how the founders tried very hard to act. When the Declaration of Independence was adopted, it was brought into existence by the states through their duly appointed representatives. The Declaration followed a long series of events and documents laying the foundation for its adoption, including the Resolutions of the Stamp Act Congress (1765), the Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress (1774), and the Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms (1775). All of which were adopted through duly appointed representatives of the people.

The war, when it came, was not instigated by the American founders. That is, the revolutionaries were careful not to be the military aggressors. Rather, the war was instigated by the British to prevent the American colonies from breaking free from Britain’s rule. For their part, the Americans fought a defensive war, i.e., to defend their right to declare independence against the British attempt to stop them.

So even though a war was fought, throwing off the British constitution in the legal sense was not accomplished by force or violence. But as often happens in life, you may have to militarily defend your freedom to act in the way you deem best. The American Revolution also illustrates the truth that no government official ever views an attempt to overthrow his position as lawful in his own mind, no matter how lawfully it may be regarded in the minds of the people who want him removed.

Looking at our current situation, no form of government can exist for over 200 years without building up a substantial amount of systemic inertia. By this I mean the tendency of all institutions to resist sudden or substantial changes to the direction they have been heading in up to that point.

By definition, any attempt to alter or abolish any form of civil government is a jolt to the system which will clash with that system’s entrenched interests. Further, any entrenched interest will resist alteration or abolition from an outside source. And when that entrenched interest is attached to the power of the sword (i.e., civil power), it will resist violently.

From the vantage point of those employed in government service (politicians, career bureaucrats, civil service workers, etc.), there is little difference between foreign attacks, domestic insurrection and lawful attempts to alter or abolish. Government employees are all part of the system, and foreign agents, domestic terrorists, and advocates of fundamental change are all outside the system. Thus, the response of government employees to all outside agents is the same – eliminate and crush all threats to their jobs. Keeping their jobs is more important than anything else.

Are you surprised that the current U.S. government labels Tea Party members, libertarians and militia groups as domestic terrorists? Don’t be. To public employees, those people are all equally outside the government system who want to significantly reduce the size of government or fundamentally alter the way the government does things. Which ultimately always translates into reducing the number of government agencies and employees, i.e., cutting large numbers of public jobs. To those inside the government, government reduction is a threat.

In a sense, it’s all about the jobs. Not just the money, but the power that goes with the position. Reduce government spending? Cut government programs? We’re not just talking about money in the abstract here – but money paid to government employees to wield power. Since that is their livelihood, and it is human nature to crave power, they will use all the force and violence they can to prevent interference with their jobs, i.e., positions of power.

You can talk about special interests all you want, but it is the entrenched interests you should worry about. Whenever I hear someone refer to government employees as career bureaucrats, a shiver runs up my spine. These are the true government insiders, who view the President as a mere temporary employee, because the bureaucrats will be there long after any President leaves office.

The upshot of which is that every government system – most especially the American system of government – will be extremely resistant to change. And that resistance will be fueled by a desire to prevent being forced to give up money and power. When people aren’t fighting over religion and power, they are usually fighting over money and power, and that is as strong a motivation as anyone needs to make things turn ugly fast.

As a proponent of change (that is, to alter or abolish the form of government), you should expect that even if you are not looking for trouble, trouble will come looking for you. People in power will ignore you as long as they can, then slander and discredit you when that is no longer possible. They will heap economic and legal problems on you in an attempt to bury you under burdens that prevent your from forcefully advocating change. If that fails, ultimately they will use police actions and military force to put down your insurrection.

The astute reader will note that there are no statutes prohibiting an overthrow of the existing government, conspiring to overthrow it, or advocating its overthrow by non-violent means. That is because such statutes are unnecessary. If you work to abolish the government peacefully, the response will be to initiate an attack against you. If you defend yourself against such an attack, you will be labeled the aggressor and be found in violation of the statutes against violent overthrow. It’s all very convenient.

So be warned. As a proponent of fundamental change you must not ever be a violent aggressor or the initiator of armed conflict. If it comes to violence, let it not begin with you. Just realize that violence may be an unavoidable consequence of actions lawfully taken. This should be a sobering thought to all who consider the matter carefully.

Ideas have consequences, and the ideas we are about to discuss in what follows are considered by some to be dangerous and/or extreme. So proceed at your own risk. But as for me, I will not be ruled by fear. Instead, I will follow the example of YAHUSHA:

“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matt. 10:28.

The Right To Alter Or Abolish The Government

Many Christians Grew Up In Church, But Never Grown In Messiah.

They Know Hymns, But They Don’t Know “HIM”.

Big Brother Is Spying On You In Thousands Of Ways, And All Of That Info Now Goes Into Centralized “Fusion Systems”

By Michael Snyder

Big Brother is watching you. Sadly, most people don’t realize how extensive the surveillance grid has now become. As you drive to work or to school, license plate readers are systematically tracking where you travel. In major cities, thousands of highly advanced security cameras (many equipped with facial recognition technology) are monitoring your every move. If authorities detect that you are doing something suspicious, they can quickly pull up your criminal, financial and medical records. Of course if they want to dig deeper, your phone and your computer are constantly producing a treasure trove of surveillance data. Nothing that you do on either one of them is ever private.

In the past, compiling all of that information would take a great deal of time.  But now tech giants such as Microsoft, Motorola, Cisco and Palantir are selling “fusion systems” to governments all over the planet.  These “fusion systems” can instantly integrate surveillance data from thousands of different sources, and this has totally transformed how law enforcement is conducted in many of our largest cities.

Arthur Holland Michel is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, and he was given a tour of a “fusion system” that is used by the city of Chicago called Citigraf…

He clicked “INVESTIGATE,” and Citigraf got to work on the reported assault. The software runs on what Genetec calls a “correlation engine,” a suite of algorithms that trawl through a city’s historical police records and live sensor feeds, looking for patterns and connections. Seconds later, a long list of possible leads appeared onscreen, including a lineup of individuals previously arrested in the neighborhood for violent crimes, the home addresses of parolees living nearby, a catalog of similar recent 911 calls, photographs and license plate numbers of vehicles that had been detected speeding away from the scene, and video feeds from any cameras that might have picked up evidence of the crime itself, including those mounted on passing buses and trains. More than enough information, in other words, for an officer to respond to that original 911 call with a nearly telepathic sense of what has just unfolded.

But these systems are not just used to track down criminals.

In fact, they can be used to investigate literally anyone.

On another occasion, Arthur Holland Michel got the opportunity to test out the “fusion system” that Microsoft had built for New York City…

The NYPD official showed me how he could pull up any city resident’s rap sheet, lists of their known associates, cases in which they were named as a victim of a crime or as a witness, and, if they had a car, a heatmap of where they tended to drive and a full history of their parking violations. Then he handed me the phone. Go ahead, he said; search a name.

A flurry of people came to mind: Friends. Lovers. Enemies. In the end, I chose the victim of a shooting I’d witnessed in Brooklyn a couple of years earlier. He popped right up, along with what felt like more personal information than I, or even perhaps a curious officer, had any right to know without a court order. Feeling a little dizzy, I gave the phone back.

If this is what is going on in major cities such as Chicago and New York, can you imagine the technology that the alphabet agencies of the federal government must now possess?

Of course this isn’t just happening in the United States.

On the other side of the Atlantic, a joint European surveillance project known as ROXANNE is causing a great deal of concern…

An acronym for Real time netwOrk, teXt, and speaker ANalytics for combating orgaNized crimE, it was announced in November the Republic’s involvement in the project currently being developed in Switzerland.

A biometrics based platform ostensibly to monitor and crack down on organised crime, an additional application of ROXANNE which its creators advertise freely is the ability to monitor those guilty of alleged hate speech and political extremism.

Strict new laws against “hate speech” and “political extremism” are being instituted all over Europe, and this new tool will help to track down “thought criminals”.

In particular, this new tool will be heavily monitoring “social media sites such as Facebook, YouTube as well as normal telecommunications platforms”…

A product of the EU funded Horizon 2020 to foster new surveillance technology, ROXANNE works across social media sites such as Facebook, YouTube as well as normal telecommunications platforms to identify, categorise, and track faces and voices enabling authorities to paint a more in depth picture of the network being investigated, whether it be in relation to criminal activity or those deemed politically extreme.

Enabling authorities to draw on raw data from a variety of sources and platforms in order to recognise common speech patterns, facial features, and geolocation, the end result is both to identify suspects and paint an intricate picture of the networks being put under the microscope.

So if you live in Europe and you think that you might be guilty of “thought crime” at some point, you might want to get rid of your phone and your computer.

Seriously.

Things really have gotten that bad over there, and it is just a matter of time before the madness gets to the same level in the United States, because we are going down the exact same road.

Here in the U.S., more political voices are being “deplatformed” with each passing day.  Progressive reporter Jordan Chariton originally cheered when conservatives were being deplatformed, but at this point he regrets his calls for censorship now that YouTube has taken down one of his videos…

However, after YouTube pulled video from his own channel featuring footage of the January 6 riot for violating the platform’s policies against “spam and deceptive practices,” the Chariton reversed his position.

It is all fun and games when it is happening to “the other side”, but when it happens to you suddenly it becomes real.

They really do want to control what all of us do, say and think, and the Big Brother surveillance grid is becoming more suffocating with each passing year.

If we do not put limits on this technology while we still can, it is just a matter of time before our society becomes a dystopian nightmare far more horrible than anything than George Orwell ever dared to imagine.

AMAZON REVEALS PLAN TO BUILD ‘TOWER OF BABEL’ OPPOSITE US CAPITAL

And they said, “Come, let us build us a city, and a tower with its top in the sky, to make a name for ourselves; else we shall be scattered all over the world.” Genesis 11:4 (The Israel BibleTM)

(OPINION) Israel365News – Amazon has just unveiled the plans for its new corporate headquarters that will stand in Arlington, Virginia, directly across the Potomac River from Washington DC. The announcement inaccurately describes the design as a “double helix” but scholars of ancient history and the Bible will readily recognize the ancient model for the design: the Tower of Babel.

Construction on their second corporate headquarters is expected to begin next year and when completed in 2025 at a cost of $2.5 billion. It will include 2.8 million square feet of new office space distributed across three 22-story buildings. The location is less than four miles from the Capitol Building. John Schoettler, head of Amazon’s global corporate real estate portfolio, announced the second half of the project designed by architecture firm NBBJ.

“The natural beauty of a double helix can be seen throughout our world, from the geometry of our own DNA to the elemental form of galaxies, weather patterns, pinecones, and seashells,” the company said. “The Helix at our Arlington headquarters will offer a variety of alternative work environments for Amazon employees amidst lush gardens and flourishing trees native to the region.”

Though it is true that DNA is arranged in a double-helix, the architectural design is not, in fact, a double helix that appears like a ladder that has been twisted into a corkscrew. The design of the building is, perhaps, a single helix with a spiral walkway ascending the exterior of the building.

The architectural design of the Amazon building does, in fact, closely resemble that of a ziggurat, a type of massive structure built in ancient Mesopotamia. A ziggurat has the form of a terraced compound of successively receding stories or levels.

YAHUAH Doesn’t Need More People Who THINK They Are LEADERS.

He Needs More People Who KNOW They Are SERVANTS.

YAHUAH’s Approved Diet

Scripture reveals that Yahuah created the vast array of animal life that inhabits our planet and further states that some animals were created for the specific purpose of providing food for mankind 1 Timothy 4:3. Although a believer is not obligated to eat any meats, vegetarianism in its various forms, if practiced as a matter of religious requirement, is considered to be a spiritual weakness Romans 14:2.

The book of Genesis can be described as a book of beginnings. This book was written by Moses to provide a historical record of what took place, not as a book of laws. Readers should not assume that the law has not been in existence from the beginning. The first statement in Scripture concerning “clean” and “unclean” animals is found in Genesis 7:2, where Noah is commanded to take seven (or seven pairs of) clean animals and only one pair of unclean animals.

When Yahuah told Noah to build a giant ark, He gave explicit instructions on its size, composition and design, yet Yahuah saw no need to instruct Noah about which creatures were clean and which were unclean. Yahuah’s instruction and Noah’s response clearly indicate that Noah understood which creatures were clean and which were not.

At the conclusion of the great flood, Yahuah told Noah: “Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs” Genesis 9:3. The point being made in the preceding verse is that, even though there were few men left alive, and large and dangerous animals had been preserved, Noah and his family had no need to fear these animals.

Verse 3 shows that the animals were to be for man’s benefit. They were given into man’s control in the same way the green plants were given. Some green plants are suitable for food, some are suitable for building materials, some are for beautification and enjoyment, and some are poisonous and can sicken and bring death when ingested. In the same way, some animals are useful for providing food, while others provide fibers for clothing, strength for working the land or protection from dangers. Whenever animals are mentioned in Scripture as a food source or in connection with sacrifice before Mount Sinai, they are invariably clean animals Genesis 15:9—cow, goat, sheep, dove and pigeon; Genesis 22:13—sheep; Exodus 12:5—sheep or goat). The law of clean and unclean meats clearly predates the Old Covenant, regardless of what role they may have played within that covenant.

When the Levitical system was established, it was necessary to codify a number of matters that had already been in effect for some time. Two passages of Scripture, Leviticus 11:1-47 and Deuteronomy 14:3-21, make clear which creatures are set apart as suitable for food and which are not, though these passages merely codify practices that long predated the Levitical system. The term used to designate those animals whose flesh is acceptable for food is clean, while the term used for those that are not suitable for food is unclean.

Scripture does not reveal exactly why Yahuah designated certain animal flesh as suitable for food while other flesh was not acceptable. Whatever the reasons, Yahuah knows why and how He created each animal, and He designates certain substances as good for food and others as unacceptable.

Various passages in the New Testament indicate that the laws of clean and unclean meats were still being observed by Yahusha and His followers. As eager as the religious leaders were to accuse Yahusha of violating their interpretations of religious law, there is no record that they ever confronted Him about His teachings or practices on this matter.

Had He advocated eating unclean meats, it would have been an ideal way to defame His reputation with the masses, since they would have been appalled at such an idea. Yahusha’ words in the oft-misquoted passage in Mark 7 would have outraged the religious leaders, had they interpreted His statement the way many people try to explain it today. The use of Mark 7 as a basis for eating unclean meats is founded on a different use of grammar that is found in only a few of the Greek manuscripts.

Acts 10 illustrates the understanding about clean and unclean meats, although this is not the primary purpose behind the vision. Peter received a vision from Yahuah that instructed him to take the gospel message to the nations and peoples outside the Yahudiym (Jewish) community. During this vision, Peter three times refused to partake of the unclean animals shown him and remained puzzled about the meaning of the vision until Yahuah revealed that it was about people and not about clean and unclean animals. It was revealed to Peter that no man should be considered “common or unclean” (verses 28-29).

This chapter ends with the Ruach ha Qodesh being given to the household of Cornelius as proof that the gospel was now going to all nations (verses 44-48). Although this section of Scripture has been used as permission to eat unclean animals, it clearly indicates the opposite. This event took place several years into the history of the New Testament Assembly, yet Peter rejected the idea of eating unclean meat, even going so far as protesting that he had “never eaten anything that is common or unclean” (verse 14). Paul wrote of creatures “which Yahuah created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth” and described these creatures as “sanctified by the word of Yahuah and prayer” 1 Timothy 4:3, 5. The word used to describe these creatures, sanctified, carries the dual connotation of being set apart from something as well as being set apart for something. The clean animals are those that have clearly been set apart by the Word of Yahuah from all other animals and can be used for man’s nourishment.

The flesh of those creatures that are designated as suitable for food is to be received thankfully by those who believe and know the truth.

Benefits of a healthy diet

Other than simply keeping us alive, what benefits should a healthy diet provide? Perhaps most important, it should fortify our immune system and help protect us against disease. It is common knowledge that a proper diet lowers our risk for many diseases.

It should also enable us to avoid the troublesome weight problems that plague the Western world. “Half of all adults in Europe and 61 percent of Americans are overweight” (University of California, Berkeley, Wellness Letter, November 2001).

The situation is serious enough that the surgeon general of the United States “has declared obesity a national epidemic, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it’s fast replacing smoking as public health enemy No. 1” (U.S. News & World Report, July 1). This statement illustrates the magnitude of the risk of being overweight, considering that an estimated 500,000 Americans die annually from tobacco-related diseases.

What are the Scriptural laws that, if obeyed, would promote good health and combat disease?

Avoid meats the Scripture calls “unclean”

Scripture declares some kinds of meat, including pork and shellfish, to be “unclean,” meaning they are not meant to be consumed as food Leviticus 11:4-44. Many don’t realize that the dietary laws Yahuah gave in this regard still apply. Indeed, it appears likely that Yahuah gave these laws because the proscribed meat is simply bad for us, unfit for human consumption.

A common false assumption is that Yahuah meant His dietary laws only for ancient Yisrael that they constituted part of the Old Covenant and were abolished under the New.

Actually, however, Scripture records commands that make the distinction between clean and unclean animals that predates Yahuah’s covenant with Yisrael by nearly 1,000 years, as Genesis 7:2 records, Yahuah instructed Noah to take onto the ark seven pairs of clean animals and one pair of unclean. When Yahuah instructed Noah, Noah didn’t need to ask Yahuah which were clean or unclean because he already knew. Indeed, it seems probable that when Yahuah created the animals in Genesis 1 He designated them either clean or unclean from that time forward.

Eat a balanced diet of clean meats

Yahuah created certain meats for human consumption Leviticus 11:2. Red meat such as lamb or beef is high in nutritional value and beneficial for health. But the Scriptural example is to eat red meat sparingly; often it was served only at feasts or other special occasions.

If you need to reduce your red-meat consumption, you can supplement your diet with more fowl and fish. “During the time of Yahusha … domestic fowl such as chickens, pigeons, partridges, and quail were consumed”.

“On the shores of the Sea of Galilee, fish was a common article of food in the days of Yahusha”. Several of Yahusha’ disciples were former fishermen, and Yahusha Himself ate fish Luke 24:42.

Current research demonstrates that fish and fowl are especially healthy foods. The Wellness Encyclopedia notes that “a small portion (three to four ounces of cooked poultry without bones or skin) provides about half the daily adult protein requirement and has half to one-third the calories and fat of a similar portion of steak. Poultry is also a good source of B vitamins.”

It adds: “Like meat and poultry, fish is an excellent source of protein, relatively low in calories, fat and cholesterol . Fish also supply certain vitamins Moreover, fish fat contains a special group of polyunsaturated fatty acids known as omega-3s. Research has shown that omega-3s can protect against heart disease”.

Don’t eat animal fat or blood

Scripture tells us not to consume animal fat and blood Leviticus 3:17. Scientists now realize that a direct cause-and-effect relationship exists between excess consumption of fat and heart disease. “Over 53 percent of people in large industrialized countries die of heart disease. Heart disease is most commonly caused by fat deposits that build up in the arteries, often beginning in the teenage years”.

But that is not the only hazard associated with eating animal fat. Toxins also tend to concentrate in an animal’s fat. While most of the fat in lean, range-fattened clean animals is isolated from the meat and easily trimmed away, “the toxins in pork are held especially in the fat, which is not isolated from the meat as can be the case in lean beef, but rather, it is dispersed throughout the meat.”

There are also important reasons to abstain from blood. “Scientists have long known that blood carries infections and toxins that circulate in an animal’s body. If people eat animal blood, they are needlessly exposed to these infections and toxins.”

Limit fat consumption

Our bodies require some fat to be healthy. Nutritionists generally recommend that we ingest no more than 30 percent of our calories from fat. Some sources of fat are healthier than others. The best sources include fish and unsaturated plant-based fat. Fat from olives is among the healthiest plant-based fats. Yahuah supplied His people with this in abundance in that He placed them in a “land of olive oil” Deuteronomy 8:8.

A modern example that indicates olive oil is healthy for food is the dietary habits of the inhabitants of the Greek island of Crete. “Residents of Crete consume more olive oil per person than any other nation … In a fifteen-year period, 38 out of 10,000 Cretans died of heart disease, as compared to 773 out of 10,000 Americans.”

To realize the maximum benefits from consuming olive oil, it should be “extra virgin or virgin olive oil. If a bottle of olive oil is not labeled ‘extra virgin’ or ‘virgin,’ then the oil has been refined in some way.”

Oils that are beneficial also include canola, safflower and sunflower. Nutritionists frequently exhort us to raise our HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, the “good” kind. “If raising your HDL is a primary concern, you should replace saturated fats found in meats, whole milk, and cheese, as well as coconut oil with either polyunsaturated fats as in sunflower and safflower oil, or, even better, monounsaturated fats as in olive and canola oil. This will lower both total cholesterol and LDL [low-density lipoprotein], and maintain HDL or boost it slightly.”

Be aware that many commercially sold oils are subjected to a hydrogenation process before marketing. When the oils are hydrogenated, their beneficial effects are largely nullified. “Depending on the degree of hydrogenation, these artificially saturated vegetable fats are no better for you than comparably saturated animal fats”. Because baked products sold in stores generally contain hydrogenated fats, they should be consumed in moderation.

Are the fats in dairy products healthy for us? They constituted part of the Scriptural diet Genesis 18:8; 1 Samuel 17:18 and are beneficial if eaten sparingly. Butter, in moderation, is an acceptable source of fat. Heart patients who ate margarine had twice as many heart attacks as those who ate butter.”

Cheese is high in protein and loaded with calcium but contains a lot of fat. It can be safely consumed in moderation, though many overdo it. “Cheese is the leading source of artery clogging fat in the U.S. diet, according to a report from the Center for Science in the Public Interest. The average American is eating three times as much cheese today as 30 years ago on pizza, pasta, burgers, sandwiches, and even salads” (Wellness Letter, May 2001).

Eat whole grains

Bread, made from wheat, barley or millet, was the staple diet item in Scripture times. “Bread was of such importance that the expression ‘eat bread and drink water’ could be used to signify eating and drinking as a whole”.

The importance of bread in the Scriptural diet is illustrated by Yahusha when He said He was the bread of life John 6:35, 48. Just as Yahusha is essential for salvation Acts 4:12, wholegrain products are essential to healthy eating.

“Eat six or more servings of grains or legumes, daily. Whole grains are especially nutritious. These foods will help you obtain the 20 to 30 grams of dietary fiber you need each day and will provide most of the important vitamins and minerals.
One caution, however, concerns hybrid grains. Many of today’s hybrids, including wheat, contain a greatly reduced percentage of protein and an excessive percentage of carbohydrates compared with the non hybrid grains in use during the Scriptural era. Non hybrid grains tend to be far more nutritionally balanced than are most hybrid grains. Grain products also typically undergo major changes in their journey from the field to the grocer’s shelf. For example, wheat is generally processed into white flour. The result? “Both the bran and the germ have been removed, along with approximately 80 percent of the wheat’s nutrients”. What about commercially produced breakfast cereals?

They “usually have more than 50 percent of their calories in sugar and very little to no fiber”.

The average Western diet lacks adequate fiber. “Though not a source of calories, vitamins or minerals, it contributes to health in several ways and deficiency of it in the ordinary diet is a significant nutritional problem in our societies”.

A Scriptural dietary comparison

Fruits and vegetables, along with whole grains, constituted the bulk of the Scriptural diet. “Everywhere the Hebrew people traveled, they included vegetables in their diet”. The vegetables included leeks, onions, garlic and cucumbers.

“The various fruits mentioned in the Scripture show … the Yisraelites’ ingenuity in growing, harvesting, and preparing them for use. Fruits were eaten fresh, dried, pressed into cakes, and squeezed for juice”. Fruits mentioned include apples, figs, grapes, berries, apricots, melons and pomegranates.

Grapes were particularly popular. “Scripture has more references to grapes and grapevines than to any other fruit and plant except olives and olive trees. Grapes are the first cultivated plant mentioned in scripture, Grapes have been shown to fight tooth decay and to stop viruses, and they are high in caffeic acid, a substance shown to be a strong cancerous fighting agent.”

Adding more of these fruits and vegetables to your diet in place of other foods will supply a wealth of nutrition and also help with weight control. “Fruits and veggies come loaded with complex carbohydrates and other essentials for life, such as amino acids and essential fatty acids. They also include many of the natural vitamins and minerals vital to human nutrition.

Fruits and vegetables also have both soluble and insoluble fiber that allows our bodies to select what nutrients are needed. This fiber allows many unneeded calories to pass through the intestinal tract.” As this occurs, superfluous calories are eliminated rather than added as body fat.

“A diet consisting predominantly of fruits and vegetables is the most important factor currently identified in the prevention of cancer. The evidence for this is overwhelming: Study after study has confirmed that people who have the highest intakes of fruits and vegetables have the lowest rates of cancer”.

Fruits and vegetables may even help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. “A new study says a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and less red meat may ward off the degenerative brain disease, which affects 12 million worldwide” (U.S. News & World Report, July 29).

Eating fruit as a substitute for calorie-laden desserts aids weight loss. The natural sugar in fruit is nutritionally superior to processed sugars, which are major contributors to overweight. “In the United States, sugar intake has increased from 1 percent to 20 percent of total calories during the last 200 years. The average American consumes 150 pounds of refined sugar a year”.

A large part of that sugar intake comes through soft drinks. “Americans, on average, drink 53 gallons of soda [carbonated soft drinks] per year, 40 percent more than they drank two decades ago” (Harvard Health Letter, February 2001).

Proper eating habits are necessary for good health. If we stuff our bodies with food lacking in nutrition, we will eventually pay the price.

Sadly, in many cultures it isn’t easy to select the foods that are best for us. In America, “of the more than 11,000 new food products that came on the market in 1998, more than two-thirds were candy, snacks, baked goods, soft drinks, ice creams and similar items” (Wellness Letter, June 2002).

How great is the health risk if you are overweight? “Avoiding weight gain may guard against cancer of the colon, kidney, uterus, and breast. Being overweight and/or sedentary also increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes” (Wellness
Letter, November 2001).

Which Animals Does the Scripture Designate as ‘Clean’ and ‘Unclean’?

Yahuah reveals which animals including fish and birds are suitable and unsuitable for human consumption in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. Although the lists aren’t exhaustive, He reveals guidelines for recognizing animals that are acceptable for food. Yahuah states that cud-chewing animals with split hooves can be eaten Leviticus 11:3; Deuteronomy 14:6. These specifically include the cattle, sheep, goat, deer and gazelle families Deuteronomy 14:4-5.

He also lists such animals as camels, rabbits and pigs as being unclean, or unfit to eat Leviticus 11:4-8. He later lists such “creeping things” as moles, mice and lizards as unfit to eat Leviticus 11:29-31, as well as four-footed animals with paws (cats, dogs, bears, lions, tigers, etc.) as unclean Leviticus 11:27.

He tells us that salt and freshwater fish with fins and scales may be eaten Leviticus 11:9-12, but water creatures without those characteristics (catfish, lobsters, crabs, shrimp, mussels, clams, oysters, squid, octopi, etc.) should not be eaten.

Yahuah also lists birds and other flying creatures that are unclean for consumption Leviticus 11:13-19. He identifies carrion eaters and birds of prey as unclean, plus ostriches, storks, herons and bats.

Birds such as chickens, turkeys and pheasants are not on the unclean list and therefore can be eaten. Insects, with the exception of locusts, crickets and grasshoppers, are listed as unclean Leviticus 11:20-23.

Why does Yahuah identify some animals as suitable for human consumption and others as unsuitable? Yahuah didn’t give laws to arbitrarily assert control over people. He gave His laws including those of which meats are clean or unclean “that it might be well” with those who seek to obey Him Deuteronomy 5:29.

Although Yahuah did not reveal the specific reasons some animals may be eaten and others must be avoided, we can make generalized conclusions based on the animals included in the two categories.

In listing the animals that should not be eaten, Yahuah forbids the consumption of scavengers and carrion eaters, which devour other animals for their food.

Animals such as pigs, bears, vultures and raptors can eat and thrive on decaying flesh. Predatory animals such as wolves, lions, leopards and cheetahs most often prey on the weakest and at times the diseased in animal herds.

When it comes to sea creatures, bottom dwellers such as lobsters and crabs scavenge for dead animals on the sea floor. Shellfish such as oysters, clams and mussels similarly consume decaying organic matter that sinks to the sea floor, including sewage.

A common denominator of many of the animals Yahuah designates as unclean is that they routinely eat flesh that would sicken or kill human beings. When we eat such animals we partake of a food chain that includes things harmful to people.

Yahuah, in His wisdom, created certain creatures whose sole purpose is to clean up after the others? Their entire ‘calling’ may be to act exclusively as the sanitation workers of our ecology. Yahuah may simply be telling us that it’s better for us believers not to consume the meat of these trash collectors”.

The following list, based on Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14, identifies many of the animals Yahuah designates as clean and unclean. The list uses their common names.
