1st Kings 18:19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
The worship of Baal had infiltrated the educational systems in Elijah’s day, it had affected commerce as well as culture, and its tentacles were also invading the food systems, because meat offerings offered to Baal were considered prime bounty for persons who could afford to buy.
Similarly, in the book of Revelation John warns us of a coming total infiltration by the beast system upon the food supply, in so much, that when the mark of the beast is finally instituted it will no longer be safe for the saints to eat from the system, which is one of the reasons why God promises to feed His people during that perilous time.
Worship in its various forms has always affected the food chain. Always! In the worship of the true God, we read of meat and drink offerings that were offered to Him under the sanctuary system. Later on, the sacrificial system was perverted by the priests, Hophni and Phineas under Eli and later on in Christ’s day where it had devolved into a booming business, prompting Jesus to chase out those vendors from the temple.
Matthew 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
