A verse for 4/3/14

4/3/14

In TM (Transcendental Meditation) you use a “Mantra”

man·tra

[man-truh, mahn-, muhn-] .

Hinduism. a word or formula, as from the Veda, chanted or sung as an incantation or prayer.

an often repeated word, formula, or phrase, often a truism: If I hear the “less is more” mantra one more time, I'll scream.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has been given credit for coming up with a “Mantra” for meditation. But I think the bible gives us some examples of using a “Mantra”.  For example; in Isaiah chapter 6 when Isaiah was in the Temple and he saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. And he saw the above it seraphims: And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.  I think the seraphims were using a “Mantra” to express the holiness of God in there meditation of HIM!

And in Revelations 4:8 the word holy is used 3 times in a row.  To repeat a word in the Hebrew is to give a greater infuses to that word to repeat it three times is even more so.

Just as a side note the word goes on to say about the time when Isaiah saw the Lord in the temple it says;

Isa 6:4  And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

Isa 6:5  Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone;

I guarantee you if you come in contact with the LORD you will know that you are undone!
