In a TRANCE Peter saw a VISION

[tonychanyt]

Acts 11:

5 I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, something like a great sheet descending, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to me.

First God put Peter in a state of trance. Then he saw vividly:
