I saw a book title in a Christian catalog to do with 3:00 a.m. in the morning. It said "Why do people wake up at 3:00a.m. in the morning?" I was thinking of buying it but I thought what if it is a book not approval to God. I did not buy it. I still think about that question off and on like now. Any body on here know what that is about? Is it something scary???

Dear Brian, I am not making this up. I did see it in a Christian catalog. Faustina just said it right. It is a book written by Perry Stone. He is Jewish. So why would that 3:00 a.m. would be something made up. It sounnded interesting but yet scary. Faustina saw the same book, see?

To make a small comment to the other posts here. The time really means very little. 3pm is doubtfully the exact yime that christ was crucified, as they did not have clocks and they had a different time system than we have today. Even with the use of a sun dial, the dial would be off by as much as several hours from our current time system, 3pm is really just a speculation, there is no accurate account of the exact time that Jesus was crucified. 3am is just a time, and has nothing to do with the devil, demons, or the antichrist. There are dozens of superstitions regarding times of day, and numbered days, but to be honest they are just superstitions.

3:00pm is considered the Hour of Mercy, for that is the time that Jesus died on the cross.
I get woken up a lot in the 3:00am hour, and will often pray The Chaplet of Divine Mercy at that time. I've heard of this same phenomenon happening to others that I've talked to. Maybe that's what the book is about.
I'd be interested in the name/author or a link so I could check it out.
Edited to add: I just found a website that sells a DVD about this. This is what the description says about 3:00.
the CD entitled, "3:00 in the Morning - Tapping into the Spirit World" Have you ever awoke at 3:00 a.m. unable to return back to sleep? Did you know that 3:00 a.m. is the beginning of the Biblical 4th watch of the night and the time that Jesus would pray? What is the spiritual meaning and mystery about 3:00 o'clock in the morning? On this 2-hour CD Perry will reveal the ancient Jewish belief that this time frame is when the demonic spirits are limited and when God's presence visits the earth. Discover what you should do when awakened at 3:00 in the morning!
Here's a link to the website. I don't know anything about it. It just came up in Google: http://www.voiceofevangelism.org/store/store.cfm?CFID=2002886&CFTOKEN=3932&fxn=detail&pid=IR-48D

Hi there. Traditionally it is agreed that our lord and saviour died at exactly 3:00 p.m on the cross. Naturally this moment was the greatest horror for Satan because it was the moment of redemption of mankind- something which Satan hates beyond hate, and so he despises the hour-traditionally known as the hour of mercy- 3 p.m. The inverse or opposite of the hour of redemption is 3:00 a.m- and so that is attributed to the devil as being an hour of great evil as opposed to 3:oo p.m the hour of greatest love. Many times, one may hear of, or experience waking up at exactly 3:00 a.m for no apparent reason, and especially when this happens regularly it is believed that the devil is the cause of this disturbance.
If you would like to see this in a simple way you can watch The Exorcism of Emily Rose (actually it's a good movie so see it anyway).
I hope this has helped....

No, nothing to be scared of. It was a catchy title to get you to buy a book.
As far as meeting God's approval, I believe He had a hand in the creation of a very large book. This would lead me to believe He would like his children to be well educated, and to make informed decisions.
best wishes.

I think 3:00 AM is the "Witching Hour," which is the inverse of the alleged time that Jesus died on the cross. It is a demonic mockery of the holy hour, and a time when demonic activity is at its height.

I bet you haven't read anything of the sort, but watched the Exorcism of Emily Rose...
Lol..it;s based on fact, but there are so many lies...the girl it's based on went through so much more torture than they showed in the movie.
You've seen many things where 1 demon has possessed a body...try a few demons...a dozen demons, 50 demons, or even more". "My name is legion for we are many."
