The explanation of Brother Eli about the teaching of pork and how it relates to the time of Israelites and the coming of Christ gives us a spiritual insight into the concept of time elements, which is in God's commandment.
It becomes clear that certain laws given to the Israelites, including were it was temporary and intended for specific purposes. During the time of Moses, God established laws to set the Israelites apart.
These laws, such as prohibition of eating pork, served as both a test of obedience and a means to preserve purity surrounding nations which were known to practice idolatry and unclean habits.
However, when Christ came, he brought the new covenant. This emphasizes inner righteousness over outward rituals. In 1 Timothy 4 vs 1, For where the apostle Paul declared that every creature is good and should not be refused, but should be eaten with all, should be received with thanksgiving.
This verse reveals the shift from those of ceremonial law to the spiritual truth that Jesus Christ has revealed to us. Through Christ, what was once considered unclean became clean, and we have been justified through faith, not through the works of those mosaic laws.
Brother Eli is trying to remind us that Christianity is not about rigid tradition, but about understanding God's progressive revelation. This coming of Jesus Christ performed the law. It sets believers free from the old ordinances and it guides them towards spiritual maturity through grace and the truth of life.
