Psalm 147:19-20 - Vs.19. He sheweth His Word unto Jacob, His statutes and His judgments unto Israel. v.20. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD. “The Most HIGH gave His chosen people His Laws to live by and to be an example (a light) to their Gentile neighbors as well as the rest of the world; even within our captive lands, we are to be a light, an ambassador of the Living GOD in Christ Savior!!!”
Genesis 1:29-30 - Vs. 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. “Prior to sin, these two verses were the first instructions on what mankind and animals are to eat. Even though sin has entered the earth, these instructions still applies! Also, herbs and fruits are medicines for our temples. In regard to the eating of meats, once the knowledge of Good and Evil came into existence, the animal kingdom (land, air, and water) got divided into clean and unclean categories! The HOLY Father provided a clear distinction with these two categories by creating His Ordinances (Laws) on what to consume and what not to consume which is shown further below.”

1st Timothy 4:4-5 - Vs. 4. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5. For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. “Saint Paul is speaking of the Clean creatures that the Most HIGH has ordained to be eaten; the HOLY Father did Not change His Dietary Law to accommodate the unlawful common foods most people enjoy eating!!!”
Hebrews 5:12-14 – Vs.12. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God (His Laws), and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the Word of Righteousness: for he is a babe. 14. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. “The full-aged in the Word can discern from good and evil; in other words, a mature person living in the Word of GOD can differentiate between what is good and what is evil in any circumstance! Once we have studied to show ourselves approved unto GOD then we have no need to stay on the same beginning level of wisdom; we can now move up to the next levels of understanding as we so desire in this walk of TRUTH, and in order to do that we must continue to study the first principles of the Most HIGH GOD (His Laws) because His Word manifolds!!!”

Definitions of Cud, Cloven Hoof, and a Ruminant Stomach:
Cud is a portion of food that returns from a ruminant's stomach to the mouth to be chewed for the second time. More accurately, it is a bolus of semi-degraded food regurgitated from the reticulorumen of a ruminant. Cud is produced during the physical digestive process of rumination. Cud chewing is also necessary because the foods ruminant animals eat are difficult to digest and it takes extra effort to get all of the nutrients from the food.
A cloven hoof, cleft hoof, divided hoof or split hoof is a hoof split into two toes. This is found on members of the mammalian order Artiodactyla. (Example Link: https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-b7cca7564c474d90749aedaa6dae434b)
The ruminant stomach is a multi-chambered organ found in ruminants. It is usually composed of four separate chambers and allows digestion of large quantities of plant matter that would be relatively indigestible for most other types of mammals, in particular grass and the leaves. (Source: The Ruminant Stomach - Online Biology Dictionary (macroevolution.net)
Example of a ruminant stomach (four chambers)
Isaiah 55:10-11 - “The Words of the Most HIGH does Not come back Void! Meaning, whatever Words He utters must come to pass and perform His purpose; He’s not a man, so He Does Not & Cannot Lie! His Word is Pure!!! His Word is Truth!!! His Word is Bond!!!”
Malachi 3:6 - For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
*******LEVITICUS 3:17 - This shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: ye shall eat neither Fat nor Blood.*******
“The HOLY Father is so serious about the consumption of clean foods and not eating blood for mankind (His image), so much so that He even had Nebuchadnezzar the king eat grass as oxen as part of his punishment for having a haughty (prideful, proud, arrogant) spirit (Daniel 4:24-25). The Most HIGH didn’t give him a heart of a lion for example because they eat raw flesh, but instead gave him a heart of a clean beast, an ox! Our Heavenly Father knows the specification of all His creatures because He created them, and each one has their purpose in the earth. For example, the pig was made to help clean up the earth like a vacuum cleaner and a garbage disposal, so this beast can eat just about anything, and it Does Not sweat to release Toxins out of its body, so those same Toxins ends up in the body of those who eats it which cause Diseases! The Most HIGH GOD Loves His image (men & women) so His LAWS are there to protect His image, so we ought to Obey them which shows that we Love and Respect Him!!!”
Clean Beasts: Animals (ruminants) that both chew their cud and have divided (split) hooves on the same beast!

Definition of a Monogastric (Single) Stomach:
A monogastric organism has a simple single-chambered stomach, compared with a ruminant organism, like a cow, goat, or sheep, which has a four-chambered complex stomach. Examples of monogastric herbivores are horses, rabbits, gerbils, and hamsters. Examples of monogastric omnivores include humans, rats, dogs, and pigs. Furthermore, carnivores such as cats. Herbivores with monogastric digestion can digest cellulose in their diets by way of symbiotic gut bacteria. However, their ability to extract energy from cellulose digestion is less efficient than in ruminants. (Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

For example: “He said to Not eat the swine’s (pig) flesh, we are not even to touch its carcass which means it is a Very Bad thing to consume. Therefore, praying over it doesn’t make it okay to eat or any other unclean meat, He will Not bless it because it was Not accepted; it’s an Abomination (Detestable & A Disgusting thing) unto Him (No matter how well Washed and Seasoned the Unclean meat was made to be - it still does not make it Clean).

A Tuna Does NOT have the full-bodied armor of protection in having overlapping scales all over its body which means it is prone to getting parasites and toxins like mercury, and is one of the most popular fish that is served in Sushi restaurants! Also, from our research and observation, its fins and other characteristics (i.e., smooth-bodied & having non-retractable fins) are similar to the Marlin & Swordfish (bill-family), Dolphins, and Sharks! If you compare a fish with a full body armor of overlapping scales and the tuna, you can clearly see the differences; tunas have a Smooth skin by not having the Armored Scales on their body minus their head - When you remove the scales from a regular fish you can still see and feel where its armored scales were before!!!”

Article piece***Tunas have a few small visible scales on the sides of their head and have rudimentary (undeveloped) scales imbedded under the surface of their skin throughout their body. Rudimentary scales are extremely small, almost microscopic, non-overlapping scales. Tunas, as a fish that is primarily a scale-less, smooth-bodied skin fish, are often infested with parasites. Tunas do not have overlapping scales covering the vast majority of their large bodies to shield them from parasitic worms and toxins that can easily penetrate their unprotected skin.*** Please read the full article right below!!!

Yes, chicken! (Please see info. on chicken further below!)
Please Read: http://www.scripturetruthministries.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/DUCKS-GEESE-AND-SWANS-UNCLEAN-.pdf - Great article! However, I disagree on the “Clean birds have crops” statement because Unclean birds also have crops with the exception of the owl. The Junglefowl aka Chicken has a crop, but they’re Unclean because they are opportunistic eaters (having scavenger characteristics); as you will read and watch in the articles and videos below!!!
Article on Crop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_(anatomy)
Clean Flying Creeping Fowls:
Leviticus 11:20-22 – The Fowl mentioned in these verses pertains to clean insects and not the regular flying fowl of birds because the Most HIGH had already given His Words on the matter.
***Locusts like grasshoppers for example***
Unclean Flying Creeping Fowls:
Leviticus 11:23 – But all other flying creeping things which have four feet…
Deuteronomy 14:19 – Unclean creeping things (Insects/Ex: Roaches, Crickets, Flies, etc.)
Leviticus 11:29-31 – Unclean Creepers Moles, Chameleons, Lizards, Snails (aka Escargot) & Slugs. Also, Snakes, Worms!
Deuteronomy 14:21 – Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself… (Meaning – it died before its appointed time of slaughter – Not a fresh kill – For example: it may have died from a disease, a parasite, or from an injury.)
Acts 10:9-34 – I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean...What GOD hath cleansed, that call not thou common. Peter’s vision had nothing to do with food consumption; it was about the coming together of Jews and Gentiles to walk in the ways of the Most HIGH through the Messiah (Ha-Mashayach)! Also, Peter knew the Dietary Law to know what was Clean & Unclean!!!
The Extremely Popular (common) UNCLEAN Fowl: The Chicken!!!
What did our HOLY Father tell us in times past? “The earth is given into the hand of the wicked!” This is not to be taken lightly!!! The wicked came to rule without the Laws of the Most HIGH, so this includes the Dietary Law because they weren’t given the Laws, Statutes, Judgments, and Commandments!!! This means that the wicked won’t and don’t care if GOD’s chosen people break His Laws; for them it’s all about making a profit and continuous ruler ship!!!
Yes, the other common white meat (the chicken) that most people consume almost every day is related to the lapwing fowl (Lev. 11:19 & Deut. 14:18)! Chickens “were not kept for food” until around the emerging time of the Roman Empire (a huge red flag) which confirms that GOD’s people were never eating this particular fowl prior to being conquered by the Greeks & Romans (the Greco-Roman era). And even though the name chicken/rooster is not specifically listed as one of the unclean fowls in the Torah (Law), it is also not specifically listed as one of the clean fowls either. It is obvious that the list for clean fowls was not specified as though it had been purposely removed. However, this is where our knowledge and understanding from our Creator comes in (study to show thyself approve unto GOD)! The lapwing fowl is listed in the Torah as one of the Unclean fowls and the chicken is from the same branch of that gene pool (See addtl. lapwing info. further below). As these old sayings go, “if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck then it’s a duck.” Chickens are Scavengers just like the pig; they are an opportunistic fowl, if it can be consumed (dead or alive), they’ll eat it. When some things are common it is popular or easily accessible/affordable to the masses (i.e. chicken, pork, tuna, etc.). Peter also mentioned these same words (common & unclean) in Acts 10:12-14 & Acts 11:7-9. According to the scriptures, our ancestors ate Doves, Pigeons, Quails, Partridges, and Sparrows for example. The children of Israel were shepherds/herdsmen raising cattle, sheep, and goats (John 2:13-16), a fowler (hunts fowl), and farmers/husbandmen (agriculturists) who sowed and reaped fruits, greens, and grains; nothing mentioned about raising (domesticating) any fowl; they hunted clean fowls. Example scripture in 1st Samuel 26:20!
Scavenger – a bird or animal that feeds on dead animals that it has not killed itself - https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/scavenger
Please see videos further below proving the characteristics of a chicken — Don’t be fooled by the Nice & Neat grocery store packaging; it was never made clean for consumption!!!
Just like most things in the world, the original name has changed and given another for whatever reason, but usually to hide something. The given domesticated name (Chicken) is actually referring to the baby of the fowl; a chick for short or a peep. The male is called a rooster or cock and the female a hen (all-female fowls are called hens). However, chicken is not its original name; its name is Gallus Montanusv (Mountain Cock) aka Junglefowl (red junglefowl) that was domesticated for human consumption (Gallus Domesticus or Domestic Cock). In addition, further research shows that this fowl is from the same gene pool as the Unclean Lapwing bird (Lev. 11:19); the Lapwing (a dung diver - it searches for its food in poop) is like the root word of this particular fowl (Please view article on the right) - (Lapwing/Hoopoe, Grouse, Mountain Cock aka Junglefowl/Red Junglefowl/Domestic Cock/Chicken)!
Please view the Hebrew definition below about the lapwing bird!!!
Please read the articles below including the one which shows the reasons for Beak Trimming!
See Entire Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken - The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a type of domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus). They are one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a total population of more than 19 billion as of 2011. There are more chickens in the world than any other bird or domesticated fowl.[1] Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food (consuming both their meat and eggs) and, less commonly, as pets. Originally raised for cockfighting or for special ceremonies, chickens were not kept for food until the Hellenistic period (4th–2nd centuries BC).[2] [3]
Hellenistic Period (Grecia/Greek)…hmmm, let’s read on – The Hellenistic period covers the period of Mediterranean history between the death of Alexander the Great (the Greek) in 323 BC and the emergence of the Roman Empire as signified by the Battle of Actium in 31 BC[1] and the conquest of Ptolemaic Egypt the following year.[2] The Ancient Greek word Hellas (Ἑλλάς, Ellás) is the original word for Greece, from which the word Hellenistic was derived.[3]
Unfortunately, chickens are not that different from the other scavengers of the world (i.e. vultures) – see videos further below proving this; cannibalism is another characteristic. These birds were domesticated and fed a mixture of food (chicken feed) which includes animal parts and fats from pigs and cows. If a pig was fed a vegan diet, it Would Still be a scavenger by nature; the same with the chicken and other animals that are scavengers!
Scavenger – a bird or animal that feeds on dead animals that it has not killed itself - https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/scavenger
Carrion - Carrion (from Latin caro, meaning "meat") is the decaying flesh of dead animals, including human flesh. Carrion is an important food source for large carnivores and omnivores in most ecosystems. Examples of carrion-eaters (or scavengers) include vultures, condors, hawks, eagles,[1] hyenas,[2] Virginia opossum,[3] Tasmanian devils,[4] coyotes[5], and Komodo dragons. Many invertebrates, such as the carrion and burying beetles,[6] as well as maggots of calliphorid flies (such as one of the most important species in Calliphora vomitoria) and flesh-flies, also eat carrion, playing an important role in recycling nitrogen and carbon in animal remains.

Beak trimming[edit] Main article: Debeaking
Laying hens are routinely beak-trimmed at 1 day of age to reduce the damaging effects of aggression, feather pecking, and cannibalism. Scientific studies have shown that beak trimming is likely to cause both acute and chronic pain.[42][43][44][45][46][47] Severe beak trimming, or beak trimming birds at an older age, may cause chronic pain. Following beak trimming of older or adult hens, the nociceptors in the beak stump show abnormal patterns of neural discharge, indicating acute pain.[42][48][49][50] - Source: Wikipedia.org

***In addition, in case you were not aware; several years ago, the US government gave the go-ahead for American raised chickens to be flown to China for processing for people in America to consume; Tyson is one of those companies.*** Please do Your Research!!!
The 2nd Popular (common) Unclean fowl is the domesticated Turkey (same as the Wild Turkey)!
Please read this important article regarding the comparison of Wild Turkey and the Domesticated (supermarket) Turkey (Special Breeding - Red Flag/Not Natural): https://www.moultrienews.com/news/the-difference-between-wild-and-domestic-turkeys/article_60d7a616-105a-11ea-8197-a30c013f16eb.html
Please read the article on the Wild Turkey Diet and then make your own conclusion: https://www.thespruce.com/what-do-turkeys - This article was removed, however, there’s a snippet of it below.
Although wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) have a diet primarily of vegetation, they will eat insects, mice, lizards, and amphibians, wading in water to hunt for the latter. Domestic hens (chickens) (Gallus domesticus) share this opportunistic behaviour and will eat insects, mice, worms, and amphibians.
The wild turkey behavior is very similar to the chicken; in conclusion, the turkey is unclean! As always, please do your own research!
The Grouse fowl, as previously mentioned is unclean; it is related to the lapwing fowl - Please do your own research!
The Diet of Clean Fowls
According to most wildlife centers, it is easy to find out what doves eat and provide them with a correct diet. Naturally, doves eat a variety of seeds, grains, greens, and fruits. Depending on the type, doves may also swallow fine sands or gravel to support their digestive system. When doves have problems finding normal food ingredients in the wild they might occasionally eat snails, earthworms, and insects. However, doves don’t usually eat insects in nature as they are vegetarians. Your pet doves wouldn’t normally eat such ingredients in the aviary. Doves and pigeons are best fed on a platform feeder. You need to ensure a balanced diet for these birds without exception. See the entire article here on Doves: https://www.birdfeedersspot.com/wild-birds-basics-tips/what-do-doves-eat.html

Quail are gallinaceous birds in that is they dwell on the ground, scratch for their food, and have crops and gizzards. Weed seeds, waste grain, and insects constitute the backbone of their intake. Quails are gleaners and seed scavengers, never disturbing grain or fruits until they have fallen to the ground. Food habits vary considerably according to the season and type of land use they inhabit. Those living in heavily cultivated areas consume more waste grain, while those around woodland fringes take more seeds falling from vines, trees, and shrubs. Southern Indiana quail lean heavily on corn, sassafras seeds, lespedeza, ragweed, wheat, foxtail, shattered acorns, insects, ash seeds, and soybeans. A tough gizzard and grit are employed to grind the flinty coverings from the rough fare. Bits of greenery provide vitamins, minerals, and moisture.
Gray Partridges primarily eat seeds and greens that they pick from the ground. Their diet includes seeds from wheat, barley, oats, corn, sunflower, foxtail, ragweed, and Russian thistle. Young partridges eat insects during the first few weeks after hatching. Adults also take insects during the summer. See the article here on Partridges: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Gray_Partridge/lifehistory
House Sparrows eat mostly grains and seeds, as well as livestock feed and, in cities, discarded food. Among the crops they eat are corn, oats, wheat, and sorghum. Wild foods include ragweed, crabgrass and other grasses, and buckwheat. House Sparrows readily eat birdseed including millet, milo, and sunflower seeds. Urban birds readily eat commercial bird seed. In summer, House Sparrows eat insects and feed them to their young. They catch insects in the air, by pouncing on them, or by following lawnmowers or visiting lights at dusk.
