Is there any significance in the fact that Cornelius has his vision at three in the afternoon?
Actes 10:3 (NEG79)
3Vers la neuvième heure du jour, il vit clairement dans une vision un ange de Dieu qui entra chez lui, et qui lui dit: Corneille!
In the Jewish calendar, the ninth hour of the day (three in the afternoon) was a time of prayer.1 Since Cornelius is a God-fearing Gentile, he has learned to adopt the old covenant Jewish practices for piety. He was most likely praying when he had a vision.2
3 Vers la neuvième heure du jour, il vit clairement dans une vision un ange de Dieu qui entra chez lui, et qui lui dit: Corneille!
