And he (Jesus)went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. - New Testament (Matthew 26:39) And when the disciples heard it,they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. - New Testament (Matthew 17:6) AndAbram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Genesis 17:3) ThenAbraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Genesis 17:17) AndMosesmade haste, andbowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Exodus 34:8) “And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.” - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Numbers 20:6) And the LORD spake untoMoses and unto Aaron, saying, Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. Andthey fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation? - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Numbers 16:20-22) And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen,with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with [their] faces to the ground. - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Nehemiah 8:6) And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. AndJoshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant? - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Joshua 5:14) And it came to pass, while they were slaying them,and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem? - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Ezekiel 9:8) AndJehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD. - Old Testament (Tanakh) (2 Chronicles 20:18) And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Thenfell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel? - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Ezekiel 11:13) So although some people may admit : “Ok, yea these verses speak of Jesus and the other Prophets prostrating themselves in prayer but we still dont know the exact details on how they prostrated and/or if they did so in the same manner as Muslims do today?” this is the way all Gods prophets worship God almighty including jesus. Not dancing and clapping of now adays xtain. Or show me wia jesus said u should worship God by clapping, druming and dancing?
