It seems that the deeper you study science, the more it reveals God's fingerprints within the framework of creation.
It gets even more astounding when you consider that the primary function of the heart is to pump blood and circulate oxygen to the whole body. A crucial component of the red blood cell is iron, as it is the core component of the hemoglobin that binds to the oxygen.
Iron has an atomic number of 26, which corresponds to the gematric number of the Tetragrammaton, i.e. the name of God.
Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, which in Biblical numerology often symbolize new birth, new beginning, or resurrection. The name of Jesus, as rendered in the Greek NT manuscript (ΙΗΣΟΥΣ), adds up to 888 in the Greek isopsephy.
Furthermore, iron, particularly the isotope Fe-56, is one of the most stable element in the universe, and the most abundant. It marks the end point of stellar fusion (after which the element is too stable to undergo further fusion without losing net energy), and is the main component of the Earth's planetary core. It has a binding energy per nucleotide of around ~8.8 MeV.
Yup. Perry Stone has taught on these things for quite a while now. But This is why the New Covenant is so powerful, and so NEW. I expect our glorified bodies will have this ramped up to much more powerful levels. I expect that we will be aware of it, consciously.
He's fun. A hillbilly Pentecostal from West Virginia. But he's a compulsive researcher. The Holy Spirit gives him some good insights [in hillbilly garb].
Everything is connected <3 so we got to stay connected to the vine.
Our mouths steer our entire being. What comes from the mouth comes from the heart. Where our treasure lies our heart lies. Our heart is shaped and given a new one by God when we believe, as we make him our greatest treasure.
Connected to Christ the Vine. We can do all things. Thank you for this article. Such a great perspective of the rhythm of the heart because this is so true. My heart takes over in situations, n it makes me think terribly and it just reminded me of the hurt and pain and fear I felt of just the idea of things being bad that my hearts has been learning since childhood. 🙏 God significantly changes everything when we learn he is in control not us.
I thank you so much for your insight and your generosity. I came across your substack while conducting research for a book I'm writing and soon to be completing.
I believe emphatically in the blood covenant and while conducting my research I've come across much to challange me and much which I've not given any further thought to ( I do concede that this does at times cross into the realm of subjectivity, but so be it). I have long pondered Jeremiah 31:34 which has brought me to your doorstep. He writes of God saying He will enter into a new covenant with Israel and Judah to replace the previous one which had frequently been transgressed, and that He would now put the law on their minds and write it on their hearts.
A few questions which I cannot get to grips with:-
1) Is the new covenant a new law replacing the Mosaic law? I do note you frequently speak of Torah which is essentially the Mosaic law - part and parcel of the Mosaic covenant which He has just replaced. Maybe I'm missing something somewhere in the subtilities between law and covenant.
2) If it is the Mosaic law written on the hearts of Israel and Judah, what about Gentiles? I really don't think Mosaic law/Torah applies to Gentiles as Paul made this point in Romans 2:14-15, differentiating between the law written on the hearts of Jews and the "conscience" of Gentiles. This echo's his stance at the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15) where he made a case for not having Gentiles circumcised, which the council responded to positively by sending a letter to the churches at Antioch, Syria and Cilicia relieving them of the "burden" of the law.
3) If all this is the case, then am I right in comming to the conclusion that the law Jeremiah writes about is Torah for Jews and "conscience" (no doubt guided by the Holy Spirit) for Gentiles?
All this is pointing to what I believe to be our covenantal obligations in response to God having performed His by sending His Son to the cross, to be our blood sacrifice, our Yom Kippur.
My apologies, its a bit wordy, but I've been going around in circles.
There’s a lot to unpack there, and I’ll be digging into it next Thursday. I’ve got an article coming that will probably address most of your questions. When I get a moment, I’ll go back through your comment and see if there’s anything specific I can help you with that won’t be covered in the article—if that’s OK with you?
Thank you for this article. Very interesting. I’m still digesting it, particularly the section on free will. It is interesting to note that of our autonomic (involuntary) body functions, only one can be adjusted by conscious decision. By consciously regulating our breathing, we can slow down our heart rate. It’s as though the heart alerts us to when we are out of alignment with God’s will (unrighteousness) and through our conscious free will we can choose to obey Him to put us back in His right standing. (I may be taking your concept a bit too far…)
Have you thought of any other Bible passages that may be better understood knowing this physiological view of the heart? I think of 1 John 4:18, “There is no fear in love.” By God writing on our hearts a new coding, we can withstand our “natural” fears in a way our conscious minds cannot.
I don’t think you’re taking it too far. Honestly, “guard your heart” (Proverbs 4:23) stops sounding like a cliché and starts sounding like “watch what you let become your default.”
“Create in me a clean heart” (Psalm 51) feels less like “help me think better” and more like “rewrite me.” And Ezekiel’s “new heart… new spirit” (Ezekiel 36) is basically Jeremiah 31’s cousin — same idea: inner renewal that actually produces obedience, not just good intentions.
And I love the way Philippians says peace guards hearts and minds… like it’s not only mental calm, it’s whole-person stability.
So yeah — your thought actually fits the spirit of what I’m trying to say: breathing won’t save you, but it can help you come back to yourself… and from that place you can submit, obey, realign, and move in love instead of fear.
so, if we can co-regulate in close relationships, can we also become disregulated because of close relationships? Could this be another layer of being equally or unequally yoked?
Excellent article. The fact that medicine science connects the heartbeat rhythms with emotional and mental response is outstanding! This rhythm or frequency is like a hum or musical note. In Hebrew it's called higgayown (הִגָּיוֹן) meaning murmur, solemn sound and by implication musing or meditation.
"May the words of my mouth and the meditation (הִגָּיוֹן) of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. Ps19:14
This is fantastic. Experientially, I have found that the deeper I surrender to God, the deeper my trust becomes and the more healing I receive. It’s interesting because I feel the healing physiologically as you describe it. It usually comes with deep emotional releases followed by what I can only describe as my heart aglow and expanded. If I’m still enough as this process happens, then the rewrite on my heart can even be “heard” (really just a thought that I know is not mine and is being given). For example, a recent personal lesson, as I call this rewriting experience, was: “I do not need to be understood or have permission in order to be what I am.” This article helped me put the process into a new framework. Thank you!
This was such a cool piece! Reading it, Jeremiah 31 stops feeling like abstract poetry and starts feeling like covenant reality—God writing on the deepest parts of our being. The way it grounds “heart” language in physiology, trauma research, and HRV is fascinating, showing that healing, regulation, and even social perception are linked to the rhythms of our own bodies.

I wrote an article on this few months ago: https://evangel108.substack.com/p/the-divine-fingerprints
It really puts Psalm 19 into perspective.
Love this...
"He can heal what trauma wrote.
He can renew what sin distorted.
He can restore what generations broke.
He can transform what we’ve learned to call “just who I am.”
And that’s why obedience isn’t a cold concept to me.
Obedience is alignment.
Obedience is what happens when the heart stops resisting and starts trusting."
I'll cap it with Nahum 1:7..(as opposed to Matthew 7:23) 'The Lord knows those who trust Him'..
Amen!
Very interesting and presented.Thank You Sir.
Thank you for taking the time to read it!

I have friends that attend the Tent in Tennessee. I have never researched his stuff.. But . But I will!
He has been focused on Hebraic Roots for a very long time.
It’s interesting—I talk to my friends who go to the Tent, and yet it still operates with a very ladder-based hierarchy. There’s nuance, yes, but…
I'm sorry. I don't know what the Tent is. Perplexity doesn't have a URL or current link to The Tent Ministries I McKenzie, Tenn. Is that it?
Its Bill Clouds church.
Ahhh! Bill Cloud is very close to Perry. That is good. He knows Hebrew better than anyone I Know.
He's fun. A hillbilly Pentecostal from West Virginia. But he's a compulsive researcher. The Holy Spirit gives him some good insights [in hillbilly garb].
Banjo’s during worship 😊
I should have said, Pentecostal Holiness. He's a prophetic speaker and doesn't have a church. https://perrystone.org
He was mainly a revival-style evangelist for decades.
So many words of wisdom but this one WOW!!!
“Because the God who designed the system is the One who can rewrite it.”
Amen!
Indeed
So profound
Praise God for the New Covenant the fulfilment of the law Jesus our LORD
amen!

God has so incredibly and intentionally woven His creation to point back to Him. I’m in awe.
Appreciate it, thanks & blessings.

A beautiful perspective, might help.
So beautiful, thank you. A very calming perspective and the perfect antidote for the binary ADHD in me

Amen, brother. Your article forever changed for me the expression “learned by heart”.
🙏 Love it! Thank you for taking the time to engage with Joe!

That's a great perspective, Vicki! I never thought of it that way, but now you have me thinking. (love it!)
