Hebrew Hour’s Significances
The three Biblical memorial hours of prayer are specifically the third hour, the sixth hour and the ninth hour of the day. These were important prayer disciplines faithfully observed by the Old Testament saints, the New Testament Church and by our Lord Jesus Christ. The hours of Prayer were continually honored because they were divinely appointed. The practice of observing them is being restored to the prayer system of the Body of Christ. In the Old Testament era the hours of prayer were also known as the hours of “oblation” or sacrifice (Daniel 9:21, II Kings 16:15). It is recorded that the prophet Daniel prayed three times a day (Daniel 6:10). Daniel did not pray three times a day just because he felt strangely “inspired” to do it. He prayed three times a day because it was part of his Godly Judaic heritage. It was a meaningful component of his daily prayer system.

The Third hour is considered to be the first hour of prayer ( Acts 2:15 ). This is the hour when the Temple gates opened. The Hebrew word for this hour of prayer is “Shacharit”(morning). This was the time that the first burnt offering was offered up to the Lord ( Exodus 29:38-42 , Numbers 28:3-8). Jesus our supreme sacrifice was crucified in the third hour of the day (Mark 15:25). It was the third hour on the memorial day of Pentecost, when the one hundred and twenty disciples were in the upper room praying for the promise of the Father when cloven tongues of fire sat upon each of them and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:3, 15).
