Veganism & Vegetarianism – Prophesied in Bible
Under Construction..
1 Timothy 4:1-3 – The Great Falling Away (Apostacy) – Also Veganism and Attack on the Sanctity of Marriage
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
Don’t forget the situation after the Manna in the desert of Exodus – Quail.
The feastdays required eating meat such as The Passover lamb, also.
Now with the above in proper context, verse 16 is encouraging Believers not to let pagans judge them for doing the things of YHWH, such as the true holy days [Lev. 23], new moons and Sabbaths, which you’ll note in verse 17 are all “shadows of Christ.”
COLOSSIANS 2:
- Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
- Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
A shadow proceeds from and points to its subject, which in this case is the “body of Christ” casting said shadow. That is the purpose of the “holy days, new moons [which start months and feasts] and Sabbaths”.
The Remaining verses pick up where verse 8 left of by stating that Believers should not let Men beguile us and set us off to the worship of angels. Verse 20 says that if we are in Christ, we should not partake in the “rudiments of the world” nor should we subject ourselves to the “commandments and doctrines of men.”
