Peter's Vision: Beacon or Bacon (BEKY Books)

Peter’s rooftop vision is a popular proof text used to discourage followers of Messiah Yeshua from obeying the Bible’s dietary laws that prohibit certain meats, such as bacon, that God has declared to be unclean. Peter was a zealous figure who, at times, misunderstood Yeshua’s evangelistic mission and missed the bigger picture. To improve his spiritual view, Peter was given a weighty intervention in the form of a vision. Many who shake their heads sagely as they read of Peter’s mistakes might themselves be misunderstanding Yeshua’s mission, partly by misunderstanding Peter's vision. In the end, Peter did interpret his vision correctly, though his words have become lost in a modern narrative that replaces Peter's report of the meaning of his vision . This booklet examines Peter’s vision in the proper linguistic, historical, and Word-based context for accurate study and understanding. The result is the Good News taking deeper root in our lives.
