Dracophage

Israel was forbidden to eat serpent-like creatures who were in the curse-prosecuting dust, crawling on their “bellies” like the snake in the garden (Leviticus 11:42; cf. Genesis 3:14).

Christians believe that was not a permanent prohibition. In the new covenant, all foods are available, even serpentine ones (Acts 10-11).

Why the change? Israel was in a state of infancy; they were babies who could digest only milk. In Christ, the people of God reach majority (Galatians 3-4), and so are given solid food (cf. Hebrews 5).

Even serpentine food. Jesus was not devoured by sin and Satan; He was the sin-eater. He swallowed death in His death, devoured the serpent, to form a community of dracophages.
