Oscar Acts 10:26 brief overview. Acts 10:1 Background of Cornelius Gentile and devout committed and

giving and reverenced God in all his house, and prayed to God always again devout. Keep in mind a gentile,

God sends an angel appearing as a man and it frightened cornelius but Cornelius says what is it lord humility.

Then these tremendous words of comfort thy prayers and alms have come as a memorial before God

I.E. He heard You then specific instruction revealed knowledge where to go who to see and where he will be.

Cornelius sends His best and most devout men to carry this out, next God sets up Peter for this

tremendous event in the History of the Church. Verses 9-19 is God preparing at great lengths to show Peter

in Great detail revealed knowledge that he could not know by the five senses only by the spirit what nor to call

unclean and it was shown three times which represents complete biblically [another study numbers in the bible]

so He'd get the point.

Look at Gods timing the moment at the end of the vision so it was still fresh in Peters mind the men

were at the house from Cornelius. Then after the introduction and showing respect to each other they went to

the house of Cornelius. Verse 25 Peter came in and out of absolutely awe and respect Cornelius bowed down in

humility and meekness. Then Peter stand up I am a man like you [notice many were there together]Cornelius

then they share with each other what God did to get them together verses 27 -33 talk about tremendous heart.

The Peter being inspired by the spirit verses 33-43 gives the first teaching to gentiles concerning

and immediately because they already had commitment and respect for God walking the best they knew how

while Peter was speaking Gods Words by inspired utterance they received power from on high and manifested

by speaking in tongues which was the evidence. This only touches this tremendous event.
