Flesh is not MEAT

Disclaimer: Before I begin, I want to be clear that I have yet to complete reading the scriptures.

I have yet to read any of the “other” books out there. I am only reading the KJV. I’m seeking Yah daily and only wish to remain in order. Walk in spirit and truth.
I’m not special or above anyone. However, I know I’m chosen. I know I’m a child of The Most High Yahuah. I know he has taken me out of a life of sin.
I know he’s brought me back to his garden. I know, with all my being, that I only want to serve his will. In doing so, Yah has filled my heart with love for Him and everything he has created and touched.
I know not everyone will receive, but I’m not called for everyone. I’m called for those who have ears to hear. For YAH’s lost sheep and those that sojourn with us. Our Mishpacah and the stranger who is seeking Yah and his righteousness. That’s it. For now….

Now. As you know, Yahuah has given me insight(Revelation) as to the difference between Flesh and Meat. I have no idea why he has chosen to reveal this to me. However, I’m truly grateful that he has, and I refuse to keep this important information to myself.

At some point, the enemy has deceived the world into calling Flesh Meat and ignoring true MEAT and its meaning. Its purpose from the very beginning was for food given directly to us by YAHUAH, our creator. For Man and Beast alike. After seeing all he had made, “it was very good”. Very good. Awesome. See scriptural confirmation below.

Genesis 1:29-31
[29]And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

[30]And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

[31]And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

As we can see, from the very beginning, in book 1, MEAT sustains all living. MEAT is life. MEAT was, and in my opinion, remains; very good.

The Most High YAHUAH brings more clarity to Meat and Flesh with the blood thereof when he reestablished his Covenant with Man through Noah, as we can observe in Genesis 9:1-4, post Flood. Scriptural reference below.

Genesis 9:1-4
[1]And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
[2]And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
[3]Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
[4]But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

Verse 4 is very telling. “Shall ye not”. Very clear. Not maybe. Not at some point. Shall ye not. Original Covenant. Pre compromise.
As we jump forward in scripture, Leviticus begins with Burnt offerings into Yah by the Children of Yasharel. As you can see here:

Leviticus 1:1-2
[1]And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
[2]Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.

Cattle, herd, and flock. No mention of “Meat”. Let’s see what it says about these offerings. HERD:

Leviticus 1:3-9
[3]If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
[4]And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
[5]And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[6]And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
[7]And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:
[8]And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
[9]But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

As we can see, there are no references to” Meat”.
FLOCKS:

Leviticus 1:10-17
[10]And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
[11]And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.
[12]And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
[13]But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
[14]And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
[15]And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
[16]And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
[17]And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

Again, Leviticus 1 ends with no reference to “Meat” in any of these burnt offerings. However, YAH used the entirety of Chapter 2 to show the importance of the “Meat” offering.

Leviticus 2:1-16
[1]And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:
[2]And he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:
[3]And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
The Priests shall have the remnants. Priests are called to a high standard of living. It’s theirs because our Abba Yah has declared the “meat offering” MOST HOLY of burnt offerings. MOST HOLY. Let’s continue:
[4]And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
[5]And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
[6]Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.

IT IS A MEAT OFFERING. Praise Yah. Clarity. This is the beginning of a return to the garden Unc. Back to MEAT, away from FLESH. In my opinion.

[7]And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
[8]And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the LORD: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.
[9]And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
[10]And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.

Hey Uncle, what was it that you said when YAHUAH repeats himself? Remains for the Priests. MOST HOLY. I believe our Abba left us some important info here. Am I wrong? Let’s continue.

[11]No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire.
[12]As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.
[13]And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.
[14]And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.

Still. No mention of Flesh. Just what grows from the Ruach of the Earth.
So for me, this in itself is more than enough evidence that Yah wants us to eat Meat. His Meat. Not flesh. We’re created to be MEAT eaters. I do understand, though, that not everyone is like me. Not everyone can just give up flesh “cold turkey ” so to speak. Therefore, there needs to be more. More of Yah’s clarity.

Side note: I’m only going to use Yah and Yahusha. Men make mistakes. I’m sure we can find men eating flesh calling it meat. YAH doesn’t contradict himself. So let’s just look at Yah’s instructions in the following scriptures.

Law of the Meat offering:
Leviticus 6:17-23
[17]It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
[18]All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.
[19]And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[20]This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night.
[21]In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
[22]And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: it is a statute for ever unto the LORD; it shall be wholly burnt.
[23]For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.

Now I understand Uncle, Yah made a compromise. However, his compromise with BEASTS and ALL THAT ARE IN THE WATERS. He does not call them MEAT.

Leviticus 11:1-2
[1]And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
[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.
Leviticus 11:9
[9]These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

See. Not meat. YAH will continue to make a distinction between Beasts(Flesh) and Meat throughout the scripture. Question is, will we have the eyes to see? This is out of love for my Mishpacah, My Mashiach and my Abba YAH. I can’t keep it to myself.
Now, briefly. What was the purpose of blood? Let’s see what Yah says.

Leviticus 17:10-16
[10]And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
[11]For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
[12]Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
[13]And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
[14]For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
[15]And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
[16]But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.

So for me. Verse 11 is the key. Atonement for our souls. Our Souls. Another thing to remember is that, this was even AFTER His compromise. Post compromise, blood is still a no-no. Enough of me for a while, though. Let’s use scriptures pertaining to meat only.

Leviticus 23:13 (Passover)
[13]And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.

Leviticus 23:16-18 (Pentecost)
[16]Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
[17]Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
[18]And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.

Leviticus 23:37 (Tabernacles)
[37]These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:

Leviticus 25:6-7
[6]And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
[7]And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat. The Prince’s Offerings at the Dedication of the Alter:

Numbers 7:12-17
[12]And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:
[13]And his offering was one silver charger, the weight thereof was an hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them were full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering:
[14]One spoon of ten shekels of gold, full of incense:
[15]One young bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year, for a burnt offering: [16]One kid of the goats for a sin offering:
[17]And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
This will be a recurring theme for all the Princes of YAHsharEl.

Numbers 7:66-67
[66]On the tenth day Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai, prince of the children of Dan, offered:
[67]His offering was one silver charger, the weight whereof was an hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering:

Numbers 7:72-73
[72]On the eleventh day Pagiel the son of Ocran, prince of the children of Asher, offered:

[79]His offering was one silver charger, the weight whereof was an hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering.

As we can see, over and over again. There is a clear distinction between Beasts(Flesh) and Meat.
I know you know this Unc, but the beasts are also children of Yah. We’re family in Yah. We’re all Yah’s. As we can see here:

Numbers 8:16-17
[16]For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
[17]For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.

Both man and Beast. Sanctified for Yah himself. OK let’s look into what happened when the children of Israel were lusting for flesh.

Numbers 11:4-5
[4]And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
[5]We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:

Moses responds:

Numbers 11:13
[13]Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.

YAH’s response and Moses questions him still:

Numbers 11:18-22
[18]And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
[19]Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
[20]But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
[21]And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
[22]Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?

Yah’s anger is kindled towards all who lusted for flesh:

Numbers 11:33-34
[33]And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
[34]And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.

It seems we should appreciate Meat a little more to me. The word seems clear. At least to me. Maybe that’s why HE says this in Amos:

Amos 5:21-22
[21]I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
[22]Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

So much in this and I haven’t even completed the pre-Yahusha section of the Book. Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.

I guess we just have to take a step back and see what the Book is really saying if we’ve missed this. Maybe it’s because I didn’t read it before, so I can see it. Or it’s just that Yah wants me to be clear from the jump.

I’m just grateful. Praise Yah. Here are a couple of times I saw Yahusha speak of Meat.

Matthew 25:35
[35]For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

Matthew 25:42
[42]For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

This is what I have so far for as much as I’ve read Unc. I know you’re way more familiar with the word in terms of it being written on your heart. Yasharela probably can dig up mountains more lol.
I got this is good so far. Praise Yah. This is all I’ve read up until this point in service of Yah. I hope I have brought insight to the difference between Flesh and Meat.
