I’m listening to the Bible app on my phone every morning, and I’m on Leviticus right now. There are a few lines where it states that it is forbidden to eat anything that swarms on the ground, anything that goes on it’s belly, or anything with many legs, because they are detestable. Is this why the demons are trying to make us eat bugs all of a sudden? That was immediately my thought upon hearing the passages, that they really are trying to perverse everything related to God.

I think what you will find is the Old Testament is filled with the commandments that God required of man to be with him i.e. live a perfect life free from all impurity both spiritual impurity and physical impurity. Obviously being able to follow all these commandments was impossible AND that was the point! For them to realize that they couldn't follow the entire jewish law and without their constant sacrifices of the nicest lamb available they couldnt be forgiven.
That is why Jesus was sent to actually live out the perfect life that we cannot. And to be a final and ultimate sacrifice for all our sins so that we not longer need to continue trying to live up to a perfect standard and no longer need to keep making sacrifices over and over for forgiveness. We are made perfect through Christ and we are forgiven once and for all.
