The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Tanach: 1_Kings 7: 37 After this manner he made the ten bases; all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.

1_Kings 7: 40 And Hiram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of the LORD:
1_Kings 7: 41 the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;
1_Kings 7: 42 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars;
1_Kings 7: 43 and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases;
1_Kings 7: 44 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
1_Kings 7: 45 and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins; even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of the LORD, were of burnished brass.
1_Kings 7: 46 In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
