Scripture and alchemy began to read as two archives of the same world. Once the evidence began to come into focus, the rejected stone looked increasingly like the cornerstone of reality.
I am surprised that a post about Scripture and Alchemy made no mention of Song of Solomon. Perhaps AI lacks the true understanding of the oft coded language of the alchemists. Thankfully.
Some good stuff, and one might investigate homeopathic...along with noted herbs in scripture, we already know about "energy" actions (even "spirit" comes to mind along with thinking on good things), a little wine for good of tummy and sad heart. Medicines from herbs (God's created substances). Whereas as revelation 18:23 tells us how merchants and pharmakia(today's manmade substances) are deceptive.
I love watching, in real time, an MD, researcher, a scientist bringing to us what Indigenous Peoples have long known, and what the witches before them also understood, now being translated into modern language. And look what happened to them and others because of this knowledge. The destruction was so complete that even the memory of these keystone species was erased. The cats were killed before the plague, and then there were no cats left to keep the rats under control as an example.
Today, Native Nations still carry an intimate relationship with Earth (sadly many are forgetting) because the Earth is their relative. And the Stone People...They didn’t just know these things intellectually; they lived them and many still do. Knowing the stones as alive beings to mention a few. Our task now is to remember and put the pieces back together so we stop repeating the same cycle over and over again.
And let’s stop fighting over God, whose God is more real, whose belief system is superior, or whose ideal vision of the past (that is now gone) and the future (that is not here yet) is the perfect world; the right one.
Hopefully we will remember what’s gone before and include everyone so the frozen river of life can move again. Now or never. Thanks, Pierre, and thanks to everyone reading and commenting. Without readers, there is no Kory and no research like this -- the one Pierre is bringing.
The Rock Was Never Peter It Was Revelation From the Father
One of the greatest misunderstandings in modern Christianity is the idea that the Church was built upon a man. Scripture says otherwise.
When Peter declares who Jesus is, Christ does not praise Peter’s intellect, education, or position. He praises what Peter received from above.
Matthew 16:16–18 (KJV)
“And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
What was the “rock”?
Was it Peter the man?
Or was it what Jesus just emphasized that the Father Himself revealed truth directly?
Christ explicitly says the revelation did not come from “flesh and blood.” Peter did not arrive at truth through human reasoning, religious institutions, or intellectual deduction. The Father revealed it.
That is the rock.
The Church is built upon truth revealed by the Father, not human authority, tradition, councils, or theological systems.
And Scripture proves this immediately.
Only moments later, Peter stops operating in revelation and starts operating in human reasoning.
When Jesus explains His coming suffering, Peter rebukes Him:
Matthew 16:22–23 (KJV)
“Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.”
Think about this.
The same Peter who had just spoken by revelation from the Father is now rebuked as “Satan” the moment he begins pushing his own thoughts and agenda.
Why?
Because Peter moved from revelation to the reasoning of men.
Jesus draws a sharp line:
What comes from the Father = truth.
What comes from man = stumbling block.
This distinction matters when discussing who Christ actually is.
Jesus repeatedly distinguished Himself from the Father.
John 14:28 (KJV)
“My Father is greater than I.”
He did not say equal in authority. He said greater.
He said the Son receives from the Father.
And when Jesus speaks of His return, He identifies Himself as the Son of Man, using the language of Daniel.
Matthew 24:30 (KJV)
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
This directly points to:
Daniel 7:13–14 (KJV)
“And, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him…”
Read that carefully.
The Son of Man comes to the Ancient of Days.
And authority is given to Him.
If authority is given, then there is One greater who gives it.
The text does not show the Son of Man giving authority to Himself. It shows distinction.
Jesus Himself said:
Matthew 7:21 (KJV)
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
Notice again the emphasis:
The Father’s will.
Not religious performance.
Not theology alone.
Not saying “Lord, Lord.”
Jesus warns that many who claim Him will be rejected despite works done in His name.
The warning is sobering: sincerity is not the same as truth.
The question believers must wrestle with is this:
Are we building upon what men teach about God?
Or are we standing upon the rock that Jesus identified — what the Father reveals?
Because Peter himself demonstrates both possibilities:
I caught a hint of this when I came across the stones in Aaron’s Breastplate in Exodus. I started looking at identifying the stones and it struck me that it was possible that these stones contained the minerals within the human body. To me it looked and felt like a key, almost like an ingredient list. Why did I go there? I felt called through a weird circuitous channel, starting with memories of my 5 year old self fixated on a page in a reference book with a single page on gem stones. Not studying. Just noticing things over time until something whispers ‘just go and look’. And when the power of discovery gets overwhelming, I run my wrists under cold water to reregulate my nervous system 🤭
Just watch out for paranoia. I think it’s an indicator something isn’t right or ready to share. Honour it. And you couldn’t stop me reading at this point unless you stopped writing 🤣
I’m extremely interested in how mercury, is mercury an element involved in this puzzle? Thx for sharing and informing us all. I’m rather astonished at the implications.
Purpose. Why did God make the world? One explanation I have seen said the God made the world as a present for his Son.
As Entropy (correctly defined as an increase in available microstates) increases over time due to the wonders of the "organic chemistry' atom, Carbon, more and more amazing structures and life-forms appear. The universe is a kaleidoscope!
I love this thesis: "If the Earth is the product of intelligence, then coherence, efficiency, and self-perpetuation should be visible in its most fundamental systems." And I love how you're crossing the boundaries of all the "languages" you're decoding to open the wisdom in each. Many languages / one reality, as you say. You keep expanding my own concepts - thank you! -P.S. The graphics you're creating are beautiful!-
It's encouraging to see all the contributors responding in helpful ways and encouraging Dr. Kory in "the way". God has given each of us talents, He encourages righteousness, even Christ said "thy will be done". Let us all continue to strive for those goals.
Yes God created the heavens and the earth! I had hoped at some point your eyes would be opened. I also have to thank you for all your information during Covid (which probably saved my dad and husband) and I loved your books on Ivermectin and Chlorine Dioxide!
Thank you for this post using AI to connect what the human brain cannot adequately hold. My internationally known chemistry professor father & his published theology professor brother had life long discussions regarding “by chance” vs. “by design”. Both were in church every Sunday because of their strong faith in Jesus Christ. Your line about science requiring testable methodology reminded me of Dad’s dinner table mini chemistry lectures! Oh how I miss him & wish I could forward this post. Not necessary as he truly has all the answers now. Of that I’m blessedly assured.
Enjoying the articles. Scripture is multilevel. God reveals more and more through the Holy Spirit as we pursue Him. It's helpful to remember that Christ is preeminent in all things, like Psalm 118:22. But, in my spirit, I also feel that this scripture speaks of Freemasonry - and no doubt even deeper revelation. The Freemasons, which seem to be a very large group, idolize alchemy over Jesus. They claim a "secret" knowledge. After reading God's Word I'm certain that's a position, a belief, that comes from a different spirit. The bible is amazingly supernatural and God loves to do things different every time to avoid man from striving to "market" who He is. He loves when we seek Him out and I'm certain He works through all to reveal how things work in the earth to those who want to go deeper with Him. I hope He reveals Himself to you as you go through this journey.
If you have followed this series, although I did not state it as a conclusion, but I believe few truly understand the nature and intent of alchemy. It was about purification and renewal and sought the divine, or received the divine.. the real alchemists, like Eudoxus, purposely hid their knowledge, not to keep it secret in a malevolent way but rather becuase because it was powerful and could be misused by those without a humble devotion to God, plus alchemy was dangerous. I know little of the Freemasons, but I would guarantee that they understand little of what it was really about, and are instead "lost in the labyrinth" of alchemy, they probably think it was about transmutation or something, or claim it for something other than its intended goal
Hey Doc. You’re getting great at connecting the dots. WRT the Bible may I suggest a literal not theological translation of it to draw from. It reads differently more like an historical account aligning with other accounts from disparate cultures. MAURO BIGLINO has done such translation from Hebrew. His path as a translation expert has parallels to your path as a medical expert in how you both are treated by the establishment.
I hesitated to say this—but this is blasphemy. As others clearly stated, Jesus Christ, the eternal God, the Creator and Sustainer of all things— IS the Chief Cornerstone. Please don’t miss Him in the study of His own creation. He alone must be worshipped. ALL have sinned, and have come short of the glory of God. But…..God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, to become the Substitute for all who will repent and put their trust in Christ as Savior. With all due respect, THIS is what everyone should make their life’s study.
You and several others have cited cheap Protestant sayings in immense self-righteous ignorance. It has me shaking my fists in fury--and I learned from Emerald Echo that this kind of anger means one's heart values have been trampled upon. The value here is REASON, the ability to think. Many Protestants are more humble than this, but many write similar platitudes all over the web, making it look like you have to be an IDIOT to be Christian. You will agree that is absurd.
I just watched a video about Schopenhauer's idea that many people cannot be reasoned with and how to conquer them. The narrator said that trying to teach advanced thinking to someone like you is like trying to download a computer operating system unto a typewriter.
I disagree. You CAN be taught how to think, step by step. We need to study how this is done. A basic aspect of philosophy and reason is Comparison weighing one item against another to decide what is most likely.
You have done this in the most important subject of all--Jesus IS Lord, God, and Savior.
If you read my post, I carefully stated that the cornerstone is traditionally understood as referring to Jesus, and that I was instead using the metaphor for something more foundational - belief in God as our Creator
I’m humbled for your response Dr Kory. With all due respect I did understand your intent. However, to use Christ as a “metaphor” as such is, at minimum, confusing, given the definition of what a metaphor is. BTW….Thanks ever so much for all your sacrificial and investigative work during cv, I was one who benefited immensely.
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
Daniel 7:13–14 (KJV)
“13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.”
So are you to tell me The Ancient of days has to give authroity to the person who already had it? No that is blasphemy to suggest this. The scirpture is clear
Matthew 7:21–23 (KJV)
21 “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
“Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.”
I am surprised that a post about Scripture and Alchemy made no mention of Song of Solomon. Perhaps AI lacks the true understanding of the oft coded language of the alchemists. Thankfully.
I am loving watching this walk …
