One of a row, a letter (of the alphabet): στοιχεῖα – stoixeion

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
(2 Peter 3:10-13) KJV

Stoixeíon is translated as rudiments, principles or elements. It’s the origin of the word stoichiometry, a term with specific meaning in physics and chemistry. The periodic table of elements is an example of stoichiometry.

Stoicheia tou Kosmou

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
(Colossians 2:8) KJV

The periodic table of elements is an example of stoichiometry. Considering the use of the word stoicheia in Colossians 2:8, we can do some simple deduction based on Genesis 1:2 and resolve the Holy Trinity as a chemical formula.

The Milk of the Word

Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
(1 Peter 2:1-3) KJV

If a baby needs milk to survive before it can tolerate solid food, has this been patterned after the processes which took place on the first and second days of the creation of the universe?

Water

Lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground.
(Exodus 14:16) ESV

If you’ve ever studied biology, biochemistry or chemistry you may have noticed that practically all introductory textbooks in those subjects have a chapter on water at or near the beginning. It’s obligatory.

Deep Water

Stylalized ball-and-stick water molecule

The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.
(Proverbs 20:5) ESV

Before moving on to the physics of what God did with the waters of the deep, we need to see if there’s anything to be learned from the Bible about what water actually IS.

Hydroxyl (OH^–)

Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil,
(Isaiah 1:16) ESV

Chemically, Hydroxyl (OH) is a cleaning agent. Cleansing goes with the concepts of purification, refinement and sanctification. For what purpose was Jesus Christ begotten? Our cleansing.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
(2 Peter 3:10-12) NKJV

The elements will melt with fervent heat? Is Peter referring to the elements of the periodic table? We don’t need to know what Peter was thinking, we take it at face value as an example of Hypothesis 22.

God is Light

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
(1 John 1:5-7) KJV

Christ became sin for us by sacrificially allowing protons to emit their light and become neutrons during nucleosynthesis. “The lamb slain from the foundation of the world,” isn’t poetic or symbolic, it’s physics.
