The Shroud of Turin
On the morning of 7/13/20, I awoke to Yahweh saying, “Shroud of Turin.”
Although I had heard of the Shroud of Turin, and knew that it was thought to be the cloth that covered Jesus Christ’s body while in the tomb, I had never researched it for myself. So I started my research, and what I found out about the shroud is absolutely fascinating. In fact, just the other morning I was reminded of this incredible artifact as I listened to Tucker Carlson interview a man who has been studying the Shroud of Turin for decades. He said that the only conclusion you can come to, when considering all the evidence, is that this shroud did indeed cover the crucified body of Jesus Christ of Nazareth in the tomb.
What has been discovered and yet cannot be fully explained is that the Shroud of Turin is a photographic 3D negative image of Jesus Christ’s crucified body lying on this burial cloth. The image on the cloth is believed to have been created with ultraviolet white light. Over the centuries, man has tried to recreate the Shroud, but have been unsuccessful, even with all of today’s technology. Therefore, scientists have come to the conclusion that the Shroud of Turin is real.
So what could have created this image on a cloth, made out of linen, in 30 AD?
The only explanation that makes sense, is that when Yahweh’s Holy Spirit entered back into Jesus’s dead body on the third day, Jesus’s IMAGE was forever imprinted onto the linen cloth that was placed over him. For it was Yahweh’s instantaneous and supernatural flash of LIGHT of the Holy Spirit entering into Jesus’s body that not only raised Jesus from the dead, but also created a negative image of Jesus’s body. It happened in order to provide proof to mankind that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was indeed dead, before Yahweh’s Holy Spirit brought him back to life.
The image on the shroud is historical proof of Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection, ALL preserved on ONE linen cloth, proved to be a rich man’s burial linen cloth. This Shroud of Turin proves ALL that is written in the Bible concerning Jesus’s beatings, crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection.
What this reminds me of in Scripture is when Jesus was transfigured on the mount, when his countenance and garments were changed into Yahweh’s ultraviolet light before his disciple’s eyes. Because Jesus’s soul was so “ONE with the FATHER” while he walked this earth, it was Yahweh’s Holy Spirit within Jesus that the disciples saw shining before them. They could not see Jesus, because the Holy Spirit’s light within him overtook his flesh and garments. Jesus’s spiritual reality of having Yahweh’s Holy Spirit within him overtook his natural reality of being fully human. This is how Matthew, Mark and Luke describe what happened that day:
Matthew 17:1-2 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain apart. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as light.
Mark 9:2-3 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them, and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them.
Luke 9:29 And as he (Jesus) was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became dazzling white.
Peter, James, and John were witnesses to what happens when we allow Yahweh to renew our minds, our will, and our emotions through the Holy Spirit inside of us. We become Yahweh’s BRIGHT LIGHT to this dark world. At Jesus’s transfiguration Yahweh said, out loud for the disciples to hear, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am WELL PLEASED; LISTEN to him" (Mark 9:7).
Jesus says to believers, “You are the LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16
I wonder what takes place when we allow God’s ultraviolet white light to shine through us? Is Yahweh’s light within us capable of imprinting the image of Jesus onto others, like it did on the Shroud of Turin? I BELIEVE IT IS, when we allow Yahweh’s Holy Spirit to completely renew our souls and we become “One with the Father,” like Jesus did. When we become obedient to Yahweh’s will, and become Jesus’s hands, feet, and mouth to this dark world, we leave Jesus’s fingerprint, HIS IMAGE, upon those who we come into contact with!!!
The Shroud of Turin is proof of the power of Yahweh’s ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT in believers! Therefore…we need to be careful never to minimize the power of Yahweh’s light that is within us, and LET IT SHINE!
May Yahweh bless you and keep you,
