16. Did Peter then understand what was cleansed in that vision after Peter reached Cornelius’ house? Acts 10:28.
17. Did Peter understand that the sow was still filthy in his Epistle? II Peter 2:21-22.
Note: Peter, being filled with the Holy Ghost, in the upper room, refused to accept the unclean beasts as his meal. Trichinosis is not a bacterial disease caused by spoiled meat, but an infection of perfectly sound pork by tiny worm-like parasite; the disease develops mainly in hogs fed garbage containing already infected pork scraps. Protection lies in cooking pork thoroughly. Government authorities cannot combat the danger from trichinosis meat, because there is no test except by actual destruction of meat fibers and microscopic examination. (Regardless of our Government statements as to how we should cook the pork, our Heavenly Father said: “It is unclean to you.” Whose voice will you obey?)
18. Why has the Lord restricted His people to a clean diet? Deuteronomy 14:2-3.
