2. Hebrews 4 pierc­ing even to the
Bones and Herbs
Hebrews 4
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,
pierc­ing even to the
di­viding asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and in­tents of the heart.
The astounding literalness of the Word of God is magnificent. The Bible teaches that bones are directly affected by sin, stress, anxiety, fear, grief, or conversely, by righteousness, peace, joy, hope, and faith.
When the bones are affected, not only can bone density and bone marrow be affected, but many things in the body can also be affected, such as detoxification, calcium deposits, red blood cells, white blood cells, the lymphatic system, and much more that science has yet to discover.
- The Soul and Spirit are likened unto Joints and Marrow

Hebrews 4
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,
pierc­ing even to the
di­viding asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and in­tents of the heart.
Job 21:24 “...his bones are moistened with marrow.”
>(Fat!?) Marrow (moistened with)
Psalm 63:5 “My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:”
>(Richest/choicest/best/finest fat)
Proverbs 3:8 “(fear of the Lord)… health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones”
>(Drink?!) Refreshment
Isaiah 25:6 “(the feast the Lord shall make)… of fat things full of marrow.”
>(To wipe out) Blot out/ erase with grease
Hebrews 4:12 “… dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow...”
>Marrow (inner bone)
- The Soul and Spirit are likened unto Joints and Marrow

If mankind was so primitive the farther we go back in history, and we’re SOOOOOO much more advanced in our modern day of information oversaturation…
… How’d they know so much about marrow?!? They had no x rays and laboratories and universities, right?!
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Truly, it is the GLORY of GOD to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
- The Soul and Spirit are likened unto Joints and Marrow

5. Bones and Herbs
Job 20
11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
Imagine! Scriptures recorded THOUSANDS of years ago continue to be vindicated by science’s investigating and skeptical eye.
These discoveries are simply more ‘I told you so’ proof that God is, and that He IS a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Bones are more than a frame to hang skin over. Bones, it turns out, are also a kind of an ORGAN!
They are directly affected by sin, stress, anxiety, fear, grief! And conversely by righteousness, peace, joy, hope, and faith!
When we say effected, we mean by everything from bone density, bone marrow production, detoxification, calcium deposits, production of red & white blood cells, the lymphatic system… and this is just what we are re-discovering now… who KNOWS what else is going to be unlocked!!!
- Can bones really be containers for sin?

6. “The Human skeleton is the single largest organ system in the body.”
Bones and Herbs
Julius Goepp, MD
“The Human skeleton is the single largest organ system in the body.”
The following article was featured in the Jan 2006 issue of Life Extension magazine.
“The HUMAN SKELETON IS THE SINGLE LARGEST ORGAN SYSTEM IN THE BODY. Composed of a complex mix of organic proteins and inorganic mineral crystals, bones are much more than just structural supports.
Bones are the body's only reservoir of important minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, which are critical for virtually every other organ system.
Calcium, for example, is used in every nerve and muscle cell in the body as a chemical signal. Phosphorous is used in every cell in the human body and is considered the universal energy "currency"; when fats, carbohydrates, and proteins are burned for energy, phosphate molecules move to or from carrier molecules to keep energy flowing.
- But aren’t bones just structural?!?

7. “The Human skeleton is the single largest organ system in the body.”
Bones and Herbs
Julius Goepp, MD
“The Human skeleton is the single largest organ system in the body.”
Levels of calcium and phosphorous must be precisely maintained to keep tissues working properly. Because there is no other internal storage area for these minerals, the skeleton functions as a strategic reserve, absorbing or releasing minerals as required to keep blood levels virtually constant.
Bones are able to fulfill this function due to their amazing complexity.
- But aren’t bones just structural?!?

8. “The Human skeleton is the single largest organ system in the body.”
Bones and Herbs
Julius Goepp, MD
“The Human skeleton is the single largest organ system in the body.”
To a structural engineer, bone would be considered a "composite" material, part mineral and part living tissue. It is formed mostly of calcium phosphate arranged in crystals called hydroxyapatite, embedded in a protein matrix primarily made of collagen.
This arrangement is very similar to reinforced concrete, in which strong steel bars are embedded in weaker cement. Like reinforced concrete, bone has remarkable strength when it is compressed (for example, when it supports the normal weight of a person standing or moving).” >[End of quote]
The skeletal system, as the Bible teaches and as science has discovered, is not just a composite material, but is a living organism directly affected by spiritual input, whether good or bad.
- But aren’t bones just structural?!?

9. Bones and Herbs
Leviticus 17
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the alter to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Inside our bones is found a spongy, moist tissue called bone marrow where all of our body's blood cells are produced.
The blood cells begin life in the moist marrow as stem cells. These stem cells divide and form the various cells that make up our blood and immune system.
Out of this moist bone marrow come red blood cells, which carry oxygen and nutrients to the body, and also the white blood cells that fight infection. Without bone marrow there could be no human life.
(LIFE OF THE FLESH IS IN THE BLOOD)
The amazing bone is strong as steel but light as aluminum, and inside the cancellous bones of the ribs, vertebrae, sternum, and pelvis is bone marrow, a moist hive of activity. Imagine, two million red blood cells are being replaced every second and they're being generated in the body's bone marrow.
So then, the red blood cells carry oxygen and nutrients to the body and the white blood cells defend against disease; and both, as stated above, find their beginnings in moist bone marrow.”
- 2 Million red blood cells are being replaced EVERY SECOND… generated in your bone morrow.

10. Bones and Herbs
Isaiah 66
14 Hand when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb:
In Isaiah 66:14, God speaks of a time of great rejoicing, and in referring to bones He says:
>"And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb:"
Bones flourishing like an herb? Relatively modern science had yet to begin to discover this amazing anatomical insight, yet this passage was written over 2,500 years ago.
Only the Creator could know that bones and herbs GROW and DEVELOP through a process of absorption, also known as osmosis.
Yes, bones that rejoice flourish like an herb.
Psalms 35:10: "All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee...?" The bones are definitely talking and I heard what they said. They said, "The God of the Bible made me."
- So… how do herbs flourish?

11. Isaiah 66 Can a person sin right down to their bones?!?
Bones and Herbs
Isaiah 66
14 Hand when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb:
Can a person sin right down to their bones?!?
God tells us in Job 20:11:”His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.”
And Psalms 6:2: “Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.” >>(bawhal – disturbed, alarmed, terrified, hurried, anxious, made nervous)
And again in Proverbs 3:7-8: “Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.”
So, let me get this straight. The key to healthy living is to have healthy blood… and that means I need to keep healthy bones to keep making healthy life-blood. Who’d’ve thought?!?!
- So… how do herbs flourish?

12. PSYCHO-NERURO-IMMUNOLOGY NEURO-IMMUNO-MODULATION
Bones and Herbs
Our bone structure does a LOT more than simply hold up our muscles and tissues. They function much like organs, as they absorb, store, process, and dispense Calcium and Phosphate.
It should be noted that they also produce RED and WHITE blood cells… over 2-million per second!
Concerning WHITE BLOOD CELLS (body’s defense network) there are studies emerging from the field of
PSYCHO-NERURO-IMMUNOLOGY
NEURO-IMMUNO-MODULATION
These study the effects of stress, depression, sorrow, grief, anger, and other negative stresses, and it turns out (predictably) that these negatively affect the white-blood cell production and effectiveness… because it seems to affect BONE DENSITY.
- Our bones are not just a skeleton frame… they are an organ that store and give calcium and phosphate?

13. Bones and Herbs
PSYCHOLOGY TODAY published an article “The Blues Are A Bone Breaker” reviewing the research conducted by Dr. Ulrich Schweiger in Germany.
Schweiger measures BONE DENSITY of 18 depressed, hospitalized men and women and another group of 21 patients who were free from depression. (All over the age of 40!!!)
RESULTS: In (2) years, Schweiger measured BONE DENSITY again, and the depressed patients lost SIGNIFICANTLY more bone mass than his non-depressed group.
He said: “It provides a vital link in explaining the increased mortality observed particularly in men with major depression.”
We could also word it another way, “A Merry Heart Doeth Good Like A Medicine! And a Broken Spirit Drieth Up The Bones.”… and we mean DRIES out the moist bone marrow.
- Our bones are not just a skeleton frame… they are an organ that store and give calcium and phosphate?

14. CONSIDER THIS: 75% of our daily thoughts are negative.

CONSIDER THIS: 75% of our daily thoughts are negative.
Jason’s WEDNESDAY PM Bible studies on goodness and looking for/responding to the Goodness of God have been very challenging, because when I am tempted to paint a poor circumstance in hues of BLUE, I’m admonished to re-consider the hand that forms the strokes.
“Scientists investigating why people under chronic stress, such as those caring for someone with a degenerative disease are especially prone to ill health recently closed in on an answer: Their bodies can’t produce enough white blood cells (LYMPHOCYTES) to fight off invaders.”
It is no surprise that bugs target stressed trees, and the best defense against bugs, pests, and fungus is a healthy plant.
Why? Cause a sick tree is a ‘soft target’. It’s easier to bore into the wood to get to the cambium layer, it’s easier to munch on the leaves and draw the sap out.
… and consequently, because the tree is already stressed, instead of bouncing back like a healthy tree can, the damage takes all the worse toll on it.
- Our bones are not just a skeleton frame… they are an organ that store and give calcium and phosphate?

15. Job 20 I’ll not lie… this one creeped me out!
Bones and Herbs
Job 20
11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
I’ll not lie… this one creeped me out!
This isn’t a skeleton with ACNE.
SYPHILIS is a disease classified as “TREPONEMAL”.
Inflammatory changes in tissues throughout the body.
Initially, the infected person may notice an area of inflammation at the site where the bacteria entered the body. Then, the individual can expect more widespread soft tissue changes, and lastly, the disease starts to affect the bones.
Pinta, Yaws, Endemic Syphilis, Venereal Syphilis.
PALEOPATHOLOGY (the study of ancient diseases) has discovered BONES with evidences of SYPHILIS etched into them.
Bone changes can ACTUALLY be seen in the archaeological record through LESIONS on the surface of the bone.
- Bones can record SIN?!?

16. Bones and Herbs
Job 20
11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
For example, VENEREAL SYPHILIS, the bone change is characterized by damage to the knee and joints. The damaged joints can be the source of infection or they could be damaged because of disruption in the nervous systems and the ability to feel.
In the beginning stages of the disease, the bone forms small lesions on the skull and tibiae.
LESIONS CAUSED BY INFLAMMATION OF THE MARROW. In it’s final stages, the bones start to be destroyed. These lesions resemble ‘Worm Holes” in the bone.
WOW!!! Does anyone know how people usually contract venereal disease!?
- Bones can record SIN?!?
