Why do the events of the vision happen three times?

Acts 10:16 (ESV)

16 This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.

The threefold repetition underscores the significance of the change in practice as well as the importance of the divine revelation for Peter.1 Peter is prepared by God to enter the home of Cornelius and enjoy unbroken table fellowship with him.2
