1 Now in Caesarea there was a certain man named Cornelius, an army officer of the Italian band, as it was called,
2 a devout man and one fearing God together with all his household, and he made many gifts of mercy to the people and made supplication to God continually.
3 Just about the 9th hour of the day he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God come in to him and say to him: Cornelius!
4 The man gazed at him and, becoming frightened, said: What is it, Lord? He said to him: Your prayers and gifts of mercy have ascended as a remembrance before God.
5 So now send men to Joppa and summon a certain Simon who is surnamed Peter.
6 This man is being entertained by a certain Simon, a tanner, who has a house by the sea.
7 As soon as the angel that spoke to him had left, he called 2 of his house servants and a devout soldier from among those who were in constant attendance upon him,
8 and he related everything to them and dispatched them to Joppa.
9 The next day as they were pursuing their journey and were approaching the city, Peter went up to the housetop about the 6th hour to pray.
10 But he became very hungry and wanted to eat. While they were preparing, he fell into a trance
11 and beheld heaven opened and some sort of vessel descending like a great linen sheet being let down by its 4 extremities upon the earth;
12 and in it there were all sorts of four-footed creatures and creeping things of the earth and birds of heaven.
13 And a voice came to him: Rise, Peter, slaughter and eat!
14 But Peter said: Not at all, Lord, because never have I eaten anything defiled and unclean.
15 And the voice [spoke] again to him, the second time: You stop calling defiled the things God has cleansed.
16 This occurred a 3rd time, and immediately the vessel was taken up into heaven.
17 Now while Peter was in great perplexity inwardly over what the vision he had seen might mean, look! the men dispatched by Cornelius had made inquiries for Simon's house and stood there at the gate.

Three men who go to see Peter are three fulfillments as follows:

Second House Servant Fulfillment

Peter said: Not at all Lord because never have I eaten anything defiled and unclean (Acts 10:14).

God has shown me that I should call no man defiled or unclean (Acts 10:28).

Peter is identifying the animals with men.

First House Servant Fulfillment

Devout Soldier Fulfillment

There is a deliberate mixing up of the four calls to FDS1 with the 4 FDSs. The calls to be sanctified but not in the true vessel, let down on to the earth, are not included in Acts 10. So Gad and Asher are absent. Acts 11 with the wild beasts and the sheet let down from heaven, but not upon the earth, covers the sanctifications outside the true congregation - see later.

The sheet is a sanctification in holy spirit, rather than a water baptism, because it is let down from heaven, and it is a linen sheet, of the type that all angels are seen in. So it is the baptism into the name of the holy spirit, the baptism of the holy angels, the righteous decree in the spirit. Also it was of course the Gentile Call to be sanctified in holy spirit for the new covenant (Judah call) and Peter says:

At this I called to mind the saying of the Lord, how he used to say: John for his part baptised with water, but you will be baptised in holy spirit (Acts 11:16).

Accordingly Cornelius said: Four days ago counting from this hour I was praying in my house at the ninth hour, when, look! a man in bright raiment stood before me (Acts 10:30).

So if you count back from the 9^th hour of the day when, the Gentiles were sanctified in holy spirit, until the 9^th hour four days earlier, then you get an angel standing in a bright raiment, which symbolises the righteous decree in the spirit. So from sanctification to sealing, counting backwards, as Cornelius directs is 96 hours. For there are 12 hours of the day, and 12 hours of the night. So the length of the baptisms being referred to in this account by the linen sheet is 96 times. The four starts of these are the 3^rd hour the 6^th hour the 9th hour and the 11^th hour calls. The 96 times last from first sanctification to last sealing. The timetable is in fact:

There would appear to be also two baptisms for the pre great crowd and the great crowd, the latter of which would run from 2000Elul to 2008Elul. 

Jesus was sanctified when he was born as was Adam, since God blew into both of his nostrils, two receptacles for the spirit of life, and since he was not born under a judicial death sentence:

And Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul (Genesis 2:7).

So Jesus was sanctified, when he came into existence without a death sentence on Tishri10 2BC.

Technical note on the counting dimension of the bible code

2x
present participles multiply

[existing in which was (singular):, not, 'were' existing - substitution - in branches they lived, birds of the airs]

1x.2x.1x.1x.2x.24x=96x, multiply 24x by 5x to get 120x upon the earth, physically in cases of first and second baptism, administratively in case of third baptism. Or the 'like' clause is telling us how to do the calculation, i.e. multiply the stuff in the sheet by 4x.

The 6 men in Acts 11:13 are the 6^th watches in the first and last centuries. The wild beasts come after FDS2 and FDS4, and are the Gad and Asher baptisms into Christendom and the Zoar class baptism, the two unclean animals of Noah. Wild beasts who are sanctified, are those who are outside the true congregation, non - water baptised, but sanctified. In Acts 11 the sheet is let down from heaven, in Acts 10 it is let down upon the earth. So Acts 11 has people who are sanctified outside God’s organisation. Peter asks the marvelous question:

Who was I that I should be able to hinder God? (Acts 11:17).

The answer is the evil slaves of FDS1 and FDS3 in their last watches and the wicked & sluggish slave of Matthew 25.

Jehovah's witnesses certainly count all our hours in the field service, so why have we not counted these hours here? If only the JWs had concentrated on counting the hours in the bible more than they did on counting hours in the field service (door knocking)!
