Foods separated for uncleanness were a sign of Israel's separation to a God whose separation was marked by the veil. The implications of its rending extend to everything touched by the theme of separation, including the people and the purity laws. Divine separation gives way to divine nearness -'I am with you always' (Matt. 28:20), ethnic separation gives way to a universal welcome -'make disciples of all nations' (Matt. 28:19), and the separation of certain foods to uncleanness now symbolizes a past reality that gives way to the intrinsic cleanness of all things.From the Finger of God, 189
If the Christian would meet with and have blessed fellowship with
Christ, he must not only walk in separation from all intimacy with
the profane world, but turn his back on every section of the religious
world which gives not Christ the pre-eminence.
