Acts 10:7

"And when the angel that spake unto him was departed, he called two of his household-servants, and. devout soldier of them that waited on him continually; and having rehearsed all things unto them, he sent them to Joppa" "He called" Note the prompt obedience of Cornelius, and that he is not offended that the angel has revealed the fact that he is presently in. lost condition (Acts 11:13). At this point the sincerity of many "good moral people" departs. But Cornelius is determined to have. relationship with the true God and nothing will stop him, not even. temporary blow to his ego. "A devout soldier" Possibly. soldier that he had influenced. Cornelius, who was accustomed to giving orders, now promptly obeys the command given by the angel, and he takes every precaution to insure that these messengers are unhindered in their quest to find Peter. "He sent them to Joppa" Even though it was three in the afternoon, Cornelius is eager to hear the message that Peter will preach. The trip was. full day's journey and these men probably even traveled during the night or early morning hours.
