Peter s Vision Revealed You know how so many people say that Peter's vision in Acts 10:19-36 is all

about how it's okay to eat things that Abba said not to eat?? (You know, in the vision Abba says, "Rise Peter, kill and eat.") Well, now you can prove that verse is not about food by scriptural reference!!

The Connections of Peter's Vision Hos 2:18 And in that day I shall make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping creatures of the ground, when bow, and sword, and battle I break from the earth. And I shall make them lie down in safety. In this verse, YHWH is speaking of a covenant which is to be made with the beasts, birds, and creeping creatures or more specifically, the unclean. Now look at this verse: Act 10:11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: Act 10:12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. Act 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. Peter's vision is of beasts, birds and creeping creatures. The same unclean things spoken of in Hosea. Peter was about to understand and later speak to the fact that these verses were not in reference to food at all. These two portions of scripture are DIRECTLY connected to each other. They are in reference to Abba including another group of people into His covenant (the "unclean" or gentile) because of Israel's disobedience. This is really amazing to see this connection! In Hosea Abba is warning Israel that He is going to turn away from them for a period of time so that in the end, they will become jealous and seek Him with their whole heart and when they do, He will turn to them again...BUT in the mean time He will turn toward a "people who are not a people" or not a CHOSEN people and they too are to become one with Him because they will keep His covenant because of their faith in Him. To Further Clarify, Read on... To give you a clearer picture of what is actually being shown in these verses of scripture, I'll start in Deut. ch. 32 which explains why Israel is gets into trouble and what the consequences will be for their sin. Deu 32:17 They (Israel) sacrificed unto devils, not to Elohim; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. **Israel is disobedient, playing the harlot with gods who their forefathers didn't know. Deu 32:18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten Elohim that formed thee. Deu 32:19 And when YHWH saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. Deu 32:20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.

Deu 32:21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not Elohim; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. Here is YHWH's announcement that He will hide His face from Israel because of her disobedience AND His purpose in doing this is to make her (Israel) jealous by taking for himself a people who are no people, meaning thatHe is going to take a people to Himself that were not His people...people from among the nations, (gentiles or those who are considered "unclean" because they were without Elohim).

More to connect... The book of Hosea describes YHWH's plan to take the "unclean" and make it clean, it is a prophetic story of a man who marries an adulterous woman, a shadow picture of Abba's relationship with Israel. This story is telling us how YHWH is going to deal with His adulterous bride in order to turn her from her hardness of heart back toward her husband (YHWH) and further explains how He will "take a people from among the nations" (the unclean ones) into covenant with Him to accomplish this task. I'll start in Hosea chapter 1: Hos 1:9 then He said, Call his name Lo-Ammi (not my people), for you are not My people, and I am not for you. But in the very next verse, Abba promises that He will restore Israel in the very same place that He divorced or separated himself from her. Hos 1:10 Yet the number of the children of Yisra l shall be as the sand of the sea, which is not measured nor counted. And it shall be in the place where it was said to them, You are not My people, they shall be called, You are the sons of the living Elohim.

Hos 2:23 And I shall sow her for Myself in the earth, and I shall have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion. And I shall say to those who were not My people, You are My people, while they say, My Elohim! Hos 2:16 And it shall be, in that day, declares My Ba al. , that you call Me My Husband, and no longer call Me

Hos 2:17 And I shall remove the names of the Ba als from her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name. **You will not have the names of others gods on your lips...that is adultery. Hos 2:18 And in that day I shall make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping creatures of the ground, (the unclean/gentile) when bow, and sword, and battle I break from the earth. And I shall make them lie down in safety. Hos 2:19 And I shall take you as a bride unto Me forever, and take you as a bride unto Me in righteousness, and in right-ruling, and kindness and compassion. Hos 2:20 And I shall take you as a bride unto Me in trustworthiness, and you shall know .

**Here is the promise to make the covenant with the ones who were considered unclean. The words are the direct reference to Acts 10 and Peter's vision. YHWH says not to call "unclean" what He has made clean, specifically speaking of people who were once unclean but now have been called out of sin.

Now let's look at Acts Chapter 10 and the vision Peter had when the unclean beasts, fowls, and creeping things were brought before him on a great sheet knit at the 4 corners (the unclean coming out from the whole earth...all nations, the four corners of it??). Peters vision is in reference to Hosea Chapter 2 and this promise that YHWH made to take people from among the nations (gentiles) and bring them into covenant with Him. Those who were once excluded are now included because Israel turned away from her husband, YHWH.

Peter's Vision Peter is sent to Cornelius's house. Cornelius is a gentile who is desiring to hear the WORD of YHWH. Peter goes to his house because the dream of the sheet reveals Hosea Ch. 2 to him. Act 10:11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: Act 10:12 Wherein were all manner of fourfootedbeasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. Act 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. Act 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. Act 10:15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. Act 10:16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven. Act 10:17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate, Act 10:18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there. Act 10:19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. Act 10:20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them. Act 10:21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come? Act 10:22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee. Act 10:23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him. Act 10:24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends. Act 10:25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. Act 10:26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man. Act 10:27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together. Act 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. **The vision is not about food but about men!

Act 10:29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me? Act 10:30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, Act 10:31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. Act 10:32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of oneSimon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee. Act 10:33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God. Act 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: Act 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. Act 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Yahushuah the Messiah: (He is master of all)

Now, in the next verses from the book of Acts, Peter explains the true meaning of the vision and he talks about those who have been called out from among the nations and how that because they believed, they are no longer to be considered "unclean"!!! Act 15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. Act 15:8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit (spirit of life), even as he did unto us; Act 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Act 15:10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? Act 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of theYahushuah Messiah we shall be saved, even as they. Act 15:12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them. Act 15:13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: Act 15:14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. Act 15:15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, Act 15:16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: Act 15:17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. Peter is recalling to the people's mind that the scriptures tell them that after a people are called out of the gentiles, Messiah will return and rebuild or repair the tabernacle of David..."THE KINGDOM" the Jewish people have been waiting for...it is the eternal Kingdom that will not be destroyed and all Israel's enemies will be destroyed...AFTER THE FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES BE COMPLETE (WHEN THE GENTILES ARE CALLED OUT OF THE FALSE WORSHIP) He will restore His bride and His Kingdom!!!!!!!! THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!!!!! I pray this is an eye opening study for you as it certainly was for me. I'm sure this could of been said much more clearly by someone who can write more eloquently than I because I struggle to express what I have

been shown. So, because I lack the abilities to be short and concise, I apologize and I pray you can see past my inadequacies and understand the meaning and depth of this writing. YHWH is amazing in all His truths and I am in awe of Him and His works created for our salvation, everyday!!!

Okay, Check this out!!!!!!!!!! I just found this to add to the above. I have looooooong been a lover of the study of the covenants of scripture and as I have studied the covenants, I have found may things in each of them that connects to future events...except in Noah s covenant with YHWH. I just couldn t find much more in that one than the wonderous rain bow, not that the rainbow wouldn t be enough, it s just that there is always a deeper connection foreshadowing future events and I knew it was there but what and where??...couldn t find it...UNTIL TODAY!!!!!!!!! I was going back through scripture and as I was reading these verses and BAM!! There it is again! Take a look: Gen 7:4 For after seven more days I am sending rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights, and shall wipe from the face of the earth all that stand that I created. Gen 7:5 And Noah did according to all that commanded him. Gen 7:6 Now Noah was six hundred years old when the flood-waters were on the earth. Gen 7:7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons wives went into the ark because of the waters of the flood. Gen 7:8 Of the clean beasts and of the beasts that are unclean, and of birds, and of all that creep on the earth, Gen 7:9 two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as Elohim had commanded Noah. Gen 7:10 And it came to be after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth. Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noahs life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened. Gen 7:12 And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights. Gen 7:13 On that same day Noah and Sh m and Ham and Yepheth, the sons of Noah, and Noahs wife and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark, Gen 7:14 they and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping creature that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort. Gen 7:15 And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life. Gen 7:16 And those going in, male and female of all flesh, went in as Elohim had commanded him, and shut him in. Gen 7:17 And the flood was on the earth forty days, and the waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. Gen 7:18 And the waters were mighty and greatly increased on the earth, and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters. Gen 7:19 And the waters were exceedingly mighty on the earth, and all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered. Gen 7:20 The waters became mighty, fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered. Gen 7:21 And all flesh died that moved on the earth birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping creature that creeps on the earth, and all mankind.

Gen 7:22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died. Gen 7:23 So He wiped off all that stand, which were on the face of the ground both man and beast, creeping creature and bird of the heavens. And they were wiped off from the earth. And only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. Gen 7:24 And the waters were mighty on the earth, one hundred and fifty days.

***All the beasts that Abba was taking into His covenant (a people who were not His people) are also brought into His house. They come in male and female, the picture of a COMPLETE UNION as Abba had intended things to be from the beginning (Adam and Eve are the picture of a whole. Adam representing law and Eve representing grace, created to function as ONE!!!!!!). Now you see Israel, represented by Noah and his family entering the Ark, the place reserved to house Abba s covenant Deut. 31:22-26, Ex. 40:3-21. (Also remember Noah s name means rest , see Gen 5:29: [his father] called his name Noah, saying, This one does comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which has cursed. Noah was a picture of our redeemer Yahushauh, he is a shadow of one who brings rest from the curse of our earthly physical labor) and all those who are not a people (the beasts) brought in after 7 days then THE DOOR IS SHUT BY YHWH! Abba wipes from the face of the earth (or takes away) both man and beast which stood on the dry ground. Man here represents Israel who has turned from Abbas covenant and the beasts, creeping creatures and birds are those who never was part of Israel. Also note that both were those who walked on dry ground. Noahs place of safety, the Ark, was on water. Water is the symbol of life. Yahushuah is called the living water. In Him alone does rest both blessing and cursing, life and judgment. The water in this case brought new life to Noah and those who were in his house, the ark and judgment and death to those who would not enter the house of the covenant. Wow! HalleluYAH!!! I knew it was there, I just didnt know what it was! Wow...did I say that already? Wow!
