What's for Sup

Simon Peter

On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour. And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance. 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: Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.-Acts 10:9-16***Simon Peter was an Israelite and a disciple and an apostle of Jesus the Christ, the Son of God. Over 4,000 years before Simon Peter was born, the Lord God created Adam, the 1st man. The Lord God formed Adam from the dust of the ground,  and the Lord God made Adam's wife Eve, the mother of all living, after taking a part out of Adam. The Lord God gave Adam commands about the seed-bearing plants, and the trees with seed yielding fruit, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Noah the ark builder was the great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson of Adam and Eve. After Noah, his wife, their sons Shem, Ham and Japheth, and each son's wife came out of the ark, according to the command of the Lord God, the Lord God gave mankind the authority to eat everything except meat that still had its blood. Over 900 years after the flood, Miriam and her younger brothers Aaron and Moses were born into the tribe of Levi, descended from Shem's son Arphaxad, and Arphaxad's great-great-great-great-great-grandson Terah, and Terah's children Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), their son Isaac and his wife Rebekah, Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. In the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai, months after 80-year-old Moses and 83-year-old Aaron led the Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur, according to the commands of the Lord God, the Lord God made a covenant with the Israelites. Months thereafter, the Lord God gave Moses and Aaron dietary laws for the Israelites, specifying clean and unclean creatures. Over 1,400 years after Joshua, Moses' aide and successor from the tribe of Ephraim, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land, Jesus, the Christ, and John the Baptist were born. John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Levi to Zechariah (Zachatias) the priest and his wife Elizabeth (Elisabeth). Jesus the Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Elizabeth's relative Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ were born, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world, and testified that Jesus is the Son of God. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men, including Simon Peter, to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites. Less than 3 1/2 years after Jesus was

baptized, Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot the disciple and apostle, and Jesus was arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb,

resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven. Simon Peter became a leader among Israelites who believed Jesus to be the Christ of God, and believed Jesus to be the only way to the Lord God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth and Maker of all that is in them. Simon Peter journeyed and wrote at least 2 divinely inspired letters, teaching the good news of Jesus the Christ, life in Christ and everlasting life. When Simon Peter was in Joppa, at the home of Simon the tanner, Simon Peter received a revelation from the Lord. Afterwards, Simon Peter preached the good news of Jesus to Cornelius and those gathered in Cornelius' home in Caesarea. Cornelius and people with him were Gentiles, people not born into the Israelite tribes.-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus 11:1-47, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 14:1-21, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-11:30, Romans 14:1-23, 1 Corinthians 10:23-33, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 Timothy 4:1-16
