6. Revelation 2:23 - "I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts."
"Reins" are kidneys. So someday Jesus will be searching through your kidneys, if he hasn't done it already.
Response: Kidneys are not used figuratively today the way the heart still is often used, but in Bible the Hebrew and Greek they were applied figuratively to indicate the innermost aspects of ones personality. The deepest and most inaccessible thoughts and emotions. In sacrifice, the kidneys were the choicest part, and so Moses used the term "the kidney fat of wheat" at Deuteronomy 32:14.
