Leviticus 11:The swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet he chews not the cud; he is unclean to you. 8 Of their flesh shall you not eat, and their carcass shall you not touch; they are unclean to you.
African swine fever is a contagious and deadly viral swine disease affecting domestic and feral swine of all ages. Pseudorabies is a contagious disease that primarily affects swine but it can also affect cattle, sheep, cats goats, and dogs. It is particularly devastating to breeding sows and piglets. In adult pigs, the disease causes abortion and stillbirths, respiratory problems, and occasionally death. In newborn pigs, it attacks the respiratory and central nervous systems causing incoordination, sneezing, coughing, and death.

Compare or contrast all of the vast information we just discovered, with the simple command and the statement coming from God to us: Do not eat them, they are unclean unto you. If we cultivate the scientific approach to obedience God will have us understand that persons would be obeying the scientists and not God, for we withheld obedience until the lab results verified His word. And therefore, for all intents and purposes, this will not be the type of obedience that God is looking for.
Leviticus 11:10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: 11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; you shall not eat of their flesh, but you shall have their carcasses in abomination.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. Good bless!
