Peter saw a vision. In Acts 10:9, he became hungry and wanted to eat but while they were preparing, he fell to a trance and saw from heaven: a sheet with kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. God said, Rise, Peter, kill and eat (I noted that Peter was hungry). Peter said he can't as he has not eaten anything that is unclean. God replied with, what God has made clean, do not call common. Peter was perplexed with this vision. So am I.
Following chapter and verses showed how God has made the vision into a reality and truth. It was the salvation of everyone.
Salvation is for the Jews (a person descended from Jewish people, Judaism is the religion) and the Gentiles (a person who is not Jewish, a Christian as distinguished from a Jew). Salvation is for everyone.
“So if God gave them the same gift he gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?” When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.””
Acts 11:17-18 NIV
