Old Testament dietary laws — not binding on Christians; Isaiah 66 and Ezekiel future prophecy not a present command

Mike says the New Testament is abundantly clear that Christians are not under the Mosaic Law, including dietary restrictions. He references his Hebrew Roots playlist (multiple videos including a ~80-minute survey of Acts on Jewish-gentile issues and a video on Colossians and related texts). He says Colossians and other Pauline texts deal with this clearly. Voluntarily avoiding certain foods (e.g., pork) for conscience reasons is permissible under Romans 14 but not required. On Isaiah 66:16-17 (which seems to describe dietary observance in an eschatological context) and Ezekiel's future temple with sacrifices: Mike offers several possible interpretations — (1) a literal reinstatement of certain law-based practices in national Israel during the millennium; (2) a symbolic or pedagogical purpose for a future age bringing Jew and Gentile together; (3) some other symbolic interpretation. He argues that even if dietary laws are reinstated in the millennium, that does not mean they apply now, just as the command to flee Jerusalem in the Tribulation does not mean Christians should flee Jerusalem today.
