Was Elijah a Gentile? Is that why he ate food that wasn't kosher?

I'm also pretty sure if one is starving and the only food is forbidden Talmudic law and interpretations allow for eating non-kosher food to save ones life. Based on Biblical examples I'm sure in part. On top of that the main reason Hebrews had unclean animals around was to make an income selling them to non-Hebrews for example pigs were a common beast that Romans enjoyed eating and they might even sacrifice them to their gods and goddesses so its fine and clear you can raise, sell and butcher them to sell to non-Hebrews so why wouldn't they coin was coin and feeding just the Roman garrisons would have turned a good profit.

Actually......
I don't think that a Jew would be allowed to butcher a pig.......
but yes... they could sell them live.

This statement about the humour of the first Elijah is accurate.

Remember that story of Mount Carmel. That's where the Priests of Baal are praying to their God to set fire to their offering on the altar. It's when Elijah makes his joke about their God being busy on the toilet— most Bibles are too polite to translate it honestly— But when Elijah prays to God, then fire comes down from heaven and lights up the altar. And afterwards, he incites the people to murder all the prophets of Baal. They massacre 450 people.

From the section.... The Door.....

“I am about to release My last-day apostles. I will have many like Paul, John, Peter and the others. To prepare them, I AM sending many like John the Baptist who will teach them devotion to Me and lay the foundation of repentance in their lives. These apostles will also be like John the Baptist. Just as the chief joy of John’s life was to hear the voice of the Bridegroom, these will have one devotion— to see My bride made ready for Me. Because of this, I will use them to build highways through the wilderness and rivers through the deserts. They will bring down the high places and raise up the lowly. When you go through that door, you will meet them." (Pastor Rick Joyner)

The idea that God is sending "many like John the Baptist" is intriguing!
