Peter's Vision
9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air.
13 Then a voice told him, Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.
14 Surely not, Lord! Peter replied. I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.
15 The voice spoke to him a second time, Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.
16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.
17 While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found out where Simon's house was and stopped at the gate.
18 They called out, asking if Simon who was known as Peter was staying there.
19 While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, Simon, three men are looking for you.
20 So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.
21 Peter went down and said to the men, I'm the one you're looking for. Why have you come?
22 The men replied, We have come from Cornelius the centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man, who is respected by all the Jewish people. A holy angel told him to have you come to his house so that he could hear what you have to say.

The vision had nothing to do with the mission God had given Peter. The vision was only to attract Peter's attention. Peter knew that he was not to kill and eat the animals that were upon the sheet. He knew that God was only testing him. And now he knew, or at least highly suspected that the test was about the salvation of the Gentiles. God was not cleansing unclean animals and making them clean. He was showing Peter that he was about to cleanse the hearts of the people whom the Jews considered to be unclean.



God's timing is always perfect. Just as Peter was wondering about the true meaning of the vision, the Gentiles show up at Simon's home.

Anyway Peter's vision could imply that there could be a subspecies of humans and of course fallen Angels being Birds of the air.
The reptiles- as we all know about now on this site,
The Fallen Angels - Bird of the air
Four footed animals - not sure about that.

But what I am saying is that maybe because of Jesus' death on the cross he openned up the path of salvation for the gentiles who were less humanistic in nature and maybe have serpent like souls or souls that are very angelic but corrupt in the eyes of the Lord before his death defying salvation but are now acceptable to God to save. Although the animals may represent the the Gentiles, who says these so called outsiders who are Gentiles don't have impure bloodlines may be related back to the Nephelim or were part of God's creative diversity? Or like I said just a diverse soul Matrix that humans have, clean and unclean bloodlines.

Anyway I guess I made this post at dinner time UK so I think it may have missed the crowd a bit. Not sure what people think about it all as a theory or a litural sense too.

So not much reply to this thread, I must have cursed my luck in some other post guess lost some credibilty, but that is okay if that is the case.

Salvation is only for mankind.

Fallen Angels have no chance for redemption. They have no desire to repent.

You are probably right, that demonic or not so in God's plan non humans can not repent even if they wanted to.

A friend showed me this verse a long time ago so I am not sure why my self but it seems like they could have been confused by that paragraph, guess I'm trying to work out why would they show me it. It explains its self in the next verse so I guess young minds of that time could not work that out either or did not try.

So was God saying that all things that can be saved now that were once unable to save are now made clean. I guess it depends how litural you take it, it could mean several things, the animals represnt the gentiles and now not only Jews but all mankind is made clean in the eyes of God. Well maybe the Demon Locusts are the Nephelim spirits brought back to judge the Earth, as one website put it as a possible theory. Guess not many people are that interested I guess.

I believe everything is going to evolve eventually and that they can't be kept back. If everything is experiencing all possibilities of their own life, then you would literally be losing a part of your very self to be held back forever. Evil isn't a force, its a kind of choosing mental illness, and its a club certain people hang out in. This will end too. Forces of light raid that place all the time.
Early Christians and the Jews did not even believe in a permanent hell, this started to become popular with St. Augustine.
