New Testament

The Son runs away with the dux and is depicted standing with him on a mountain-top, as in the New Testament account of the temptation of Christ by Satan. Meanwhile, in the absence of the Son the Father dies from sorrow and yearning. He revives when the Son returns. Embracing him the Father devours him moved by the intensity of his love (fig. 29) ... 

Those who are justihed on the Day of Doom will be welcomed by the banquet which the Eucharist anticipates, a covenant proclaimed at the time of the Last Supper, as in Luke 22 20, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. In the engraving, another symbol of the sacramental covenant is the rainbow around the throne, an citation of God s promise to Noah in Genesis 9 13, reiterated in Revelation 4 3 where John sees around the throne of the Lamb a rainbow like an emerald in appearance. 

Yet, unlike Paracelsus innovatory medical pharmacopoeia, Fludd prescribes very few physical remedies and the ones which he does use are uncanny, as in the case of his sacramental red oil of wheat. In this context, Fludd pondered extensively the mystery of common bread which was chosen to be the material of the miracle of tran-substantiation. He traced all mentions of bread in the Old and New Testament, emphasising its physical and spiritual potency and its sacramental nature.

In the New Testament, Kundalini is referred to as the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, who is the Lord, the Giver of Life. The planetary reservoir of Kundalini is termed the Laboratory of the Holy Spirit and initiation as the work of the Holy Spirit. Hence, Jesus question takes on deeper import, Know ye not that ye are temples of the Holy Spirit and that the Power of the Most High dwells within you The human body is the temple, and the heart is the temple s sanctuary (literally, holy place ). But the Adytum, the temple s Holy of Holies, is the pineal gland, the rudimentary third eye. The Stone is confected in the pineal gland by the Spirit-Fire of Chokmah and so the favorite name that the old alchemists awarded themselves was philosophers, the lovers of Wisdom. ... 

In 1639 Robert and his older brother, Francis, were sent to Europe in the company of a tutor. The three went first to France and passed some time in Paris before going on to Geneva, where their education was to continue. All in all, they spent some 21 months in Geneva. The two boys studied Latin and rhetoric and read Roman history in French. Part of each day was set aside for reading and discussing the Old and New Testaments, and the afternoons were devoted to such activities as fencing and tennis. 

Iron is mentioned also in the New Testament. When Peter, for example, was delivered from the prison of Herod Agrippa I, he passed through the iron gate that leadeth unto the city of Antioch, Syria (Acts 12,10). 

The prescriptions in the Ebers papyrus (sixteenth century B.C.) mention both common salt and soda (natron) (31). Both the Old and New Testaments abound in literal and figurative allusions to salt Ye are the salt of the earth , Have salt in yourselves and have peace one with another (32). Strabo described the mining of rock salt and its preparation from salt springs in 18 A.D. (1). Dioscorides of Anazarba said in 64 A.D. that the best salt came from Cyprus, Sicily, Africa, and Phrygia (I). 

The whole history of these books [the Gospels] is so defective and doubtful that it seems vain to attempt minute inquiry into it and such tricks have been played with their text.. that we have a right, from that cause, to entertain much doubt what parts of them are genuine. In the New Testament there is internal evidence that parts of it have proceeded from an extraordinary man and that other parts are of the fabric of very inferior minds. It is as easy to separate those parts, as to pick out diamonds from dunghills. ... 

The next serious challenger to that integrity was Christianity. After some abortive forays by British and American Protestants in the early nineteenth century, a systematic mission to the Toba Batak was inaugurated by Ludwig Nommensen (1834-1918) and his colleagues of the German Rhenisch mission in 1862. He laboured particularly to have a Batak New Testament published as the first significant work in a... 

The problem of drunkenness was well known in ancient and early Christian times, and many religious and other leaders condemned the use of alcohol. At the same time, though, wine was celebrated in Greek religion as the gift of Dionysus (or Bacchus), and in the New Testament and subsequent Christian tradition it became the blood of Christ. Alcohol had a less prominent role in Jewish culture. The Muslims, however, banned its use. Attitudes toward alcohol and other intoxicating beverages vary widely in other world cultures. 

Research on BNF almost ceased during the first World War and, even before 1914, its focus had shifted from Europe to America. All movements have their scriptures for BNF the Old Testament was Fred, Baldwin and McCoy s The Root Nodule Bacteria and Leguminous Plants (1932), and the New Testament, P. W. Wilson s The Biochemistry of Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation (1940) both published by the University of Wisconsin Press in Madison. 

All through the Bible allusions are made to this rejected "Stone." Moses in his Song alludes to it. Job speaks of it. Also David, Solomon, Isaiah and Zechariah. It is also mentioned by the apostles in the New Testament, who in some vague, mysterious way, connect the Stone with Christ and his appearing.
