are accepting these teachings. Why the emphasis on vege tarianism by Satan's kingdom? If we stop to think a moment, we will see that the final straw, so to speak, which brought about God's judgment in the flood, was the intercourse occurring between humans and demons. (Genesis Chapter 6) I do not believe it was any accident that God told Noah to start eating meat after the flood. He knew the spiritual battle Noah and his descen dants would have to go through to keep demons from con trolling them and their lives. As we study the Old Testament and the laws God gave to his people, the children of Israel, we find that the spiritual warriors of those days were the Levites of Israel. Their diets were clearly high in beef and lamb. If beef is so harmful, then why did Abraham prepare beef for God Himself to eat when He came to visit him? Abra ham would obviously prepare the best he had. (See Genesis 18:1-7) If we look at the various spiritual warriors of renown in the Old Testament, we will find that every time, before they en gaged in a great battle, God prepared them with the eating of meat. For instance, Elijah. Please note the menu provid ed for him personally by the Lord during his period of preparation just before he faced all the prophets of Baal.

"And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thy self by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook~ and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. So he went and did according unto the work of the Lord: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And the ravens brought him bread and flesh [meat] in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening: and he drank ofthe brook." I Kings 17:2-6
