In other words, all of God’s laws are in force perpetually whether any of us are remotely aware of them or not. For example, the laws of clean and unclean meats were obviously in force from the time of Adam and Eve to the time of Noah (referencing Genesis 7:2-3), as well as the seventh day Sabbath commandment (referencing Genesis 2:3), and moreover, are still in force today, though antinomian Protestant theologians are convinced that these Old Covenant mandates, meant only for the Jewish culture, were permanently nailed to the cross.
Doug Batchelor, in his article “God’s Free Health Plan,” reminds these dutiful antinomians that “the Jew’s digestive system in no way differs from the Gentile’s digestive system. These health laws are for all people for all time.” Tragically, the lion’s share of Jacob’s offspring across the entire earth has blatantly disregarded God’s holy laws-Sabbath laws, morality laws, financial laws, including laws governing eating, drinking, and stewardship of their bodies—and are consequently cursed with the dreaded diseases of Egypt which God at one time removed from them conditionally as they promised to keep His statutes, judgments, and precepts. Let us turn over to a familiar memory verse.
