Three Days … Everywhere in the bible

Exodus 3:8 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LordGod of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.
19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.
21 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty.
22 But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.

Resting on the Seventh (S-Even-th)

Genesis 8:4-6King James Version (KJV)

And the ark rested in the seventh month (Libra) , on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month (Capricorn): in the tenth month, on the first day of the month (12/21), were the tops of the mountains seen.

And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:

And the seventh month would be Libra, the judge. God created the universe from Aires to Virgo and then rested and judged what he made in the seventh month, Libra, the judge.

Psalm 143 - More meaning to the Lord's Prayer

Psalm 143:1-12 Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

Our father who art in heaven - I remember the days of old

Hallowed be thy Name (the way) -  I meditate on all thy works; I muse(1) on the work of thy hands.

Thy Kingdom Come - . I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land.

Thy Will Be Done- Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good;

On Earth as it is in Heaven - lead me into the land of uprightness

Give us This Day Our Daily Bread - Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust

And Forgive us Our Trespasses - And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

As we forgive those who trespass against us - cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

Lead us not into temptation - lead me into the land of uprightness. For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

But deliver us from evil - Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.  Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

(1) muse |myo͞oz| verb - be absorbed in thought: noun - an instance or period of reflection.

For those who think they are Jews ...



For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

(As usual, I couldn't have put it better. Becoming circumcised means cutting away the thoughts of the lower mind through meditation. Add "cutting off" to drown, stab, beat, burn … every story in the bible is an allegorical of violence toward the thoughts of the lower, human, material mind. You can't rise to heaven in meditation until you destroy the lower mind.)
