The Jewish mind had a hard time accepting the idea that the Gospel was for any others but the Jews. The Jewish mind had a difficult time accepting the idea that Gentiles could be part of the Lord's people. So difficult – that the Lord had to give Peter this dramatic vision in order to make it thinkable and accepted by the early Jewish believers.
The primary point of this passage regarding this vision was not about whether you can eat unclean animals or not per Leviticus 11, rather, the primary point of this passage and vision is that the Gentiles – whom the Jews considered unclean – were able to be part of the people of God also. The Gospel was not just for the Jew – but also for the Gentile. For all men.
