My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, according to God’s words that we meditated in the last few days we see that what God has made holy – we should not put them away saying they are unholy. God showed us this when he told Noah to take into the ark every beast after its kind, all cattle after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind and every thing that lived on the earth and closed the door of the ark. There we see that God made a covenant.

It is the same thing that God is showing Peter in the vision. When God has made them holy, we should not push them away by saying they are unholy.

Peter did not understand the vision at first. He understood the vision only when the people sent by Cornelius came to his doorstep. Cornelius was a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always.

Acts 10: 21 - Then Peter went down to the men who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, “Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?”

Peter enters into the house of Cornelius.

Acts 10: 25 says - As Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him.

Acts 10:26 says - But Peter lifted him up, saying, “Stand up; I myself am also a man.”

Acts 10: 27, 28 - And as he talked with him, he went in and found many who had come together.

Then he said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

My dear brothers and sisters, we must understand that the words that we read above today is not about food. Whatever caste we may be, God loves each and everyone of us the same. He is not a God who shows partiality and He is clearly showing us that we also should accept everyone the same way like Him (all those who are washed by the blood of Jesus and made clean).

God’s kingdom means those who believe in God should accept everyone without any difference and bring everyone together in one name – That is God’s kingdom.

Revelation 11: 16 – 19 says And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God,

saying: “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.

The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”

Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

When we read the above verses, we see that the temple of God is opened in heaven. We must read the verses discussed on 26.4.2020. The temple of God (Our Lord Jesus Christ), he who is sitting on the throne – our Lord Jesus Christ. From this throne thunderings and noises are rising up.

God’s seven spirits which is the seven lamps were burning.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is seated in our souls. He is ruling within us. We know that seven spirits which is the seven lamps will be burning.

My dear brothers and sisters, the mentioned seven spirits are burning in front of the throne as seven lamps. We will see regarding the seven burning lamps of fire tomorrow.

May the Lord bless you all.
