This happened three times The repetition of the vision three times is significant in biblical literature, often symbolizing completeness or confirmation. In the Hebrew tradition, the number three is associated with divine perfection and completeness. For instance, the thrice-repeated "Holy" in Isaiah 6:3 emphasizes God's absolute holiness. Here, the repetition underscores the importance and certainty of the message being conveyed to Peter. It is a divine assurance that what he is witnessing is not a mere dream or illusion but a profound revelation from God. This repetition also mirrors other scriptural instances where God uses the number three to establish a matter, such as Jesus' resurrection on the third day, further emphasizing the divine orchestration in Peter's vision. and all of it was pulled up to heaven again Parallel Commentaries ...
