This article focuses on evidence supporting the belief that the Shroud of Turin, which depicts a front and back image of the entire body of a crucified man, actually depicts the crucified Christ at the moment of His resurrection from the dead. As such, it has been the subject of intense research and debate for centuries.
The faint image
upon the Shroud reveals a well-formed, bearded man that was fit, trim,
broad-shouldered, and almost 6 feet tall. Furthermore, this man had wounds that
are consistent with a severe scourging of the body with whips followed by crucifixion.
The wounds that can be detected on the body include multiple whip marks all
over the front and back of the body, a spear wound to the side, nail holes in the
ankles and wrists, and blood flows from the head from deep puncture wounds such
as those that could have been caused by a crown of thorns.

Fascinatingly,
a river is depicted extending downward in a wide arc from the feet of the
constellation Orion in the heavens. This celestial river is the constellation
called “Eridanus” after the Jordan River . Also
interesting to note is that Orion depicts the resurrected Christ as a
conquering King wearing a belt that depicts His crucifixion between two
robbers. The crosses on Golgotha are depicted
by the three bright belt stars of Orion’s Belt.
Even the blood that flowed from those crosses is depicted in the Orion Nebula and
Horsehead Nebula near to those three bright stars. The Horsehead Nebula can be
seen south of the star “Al Nitak” in the graphic below:

Recent tests
done on the Shroud that dated it to the Middle Ages used corner swatches that
were portions of the Shroud that had been repaired with medieval era cloth.
This had been woven into the much older fabric of the Shroud after it had been
damaged in a fire back then.
Not
surprisingly, new tests done in Italy
Here is a
link to an article about the most recent findings on the Shroud that appear to
prove its authenticity:

Alleged Burial Shroud

It’s Real
Objections to the Shroud’s authenticity as the
alleged burial cloth of Christ are often based on a supposed lack of Biblical
evidence for the Shroud. However, as shown in the composite graphic that I
created and uploaded below, there is no doubt that the Shroud of Turin did
cover the entire head of the man depicted on it, as the Gospel of John
suggests. Please open this graphic to a larger size to see all the important details on it clearly:

John’s Gospel
states that a separate cloth had been placed over the head of Christ’s body,
just as the Shroud had obviously been, as seen in the photographic collage
above. Here are two translations of that section of the Bible supporting the
authenticity of the Shroud as the possible one-piece Burial Cloth that covered
Yahshua’s head when He was prepared for burial:
“Then Simon
Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips
of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped
around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from
the linen.” - John 20:6-7 (NIV)
“Then,
following him, Shim‘on Kefa arrived, entered the tomb and saw the burial-sheets
lying there, 7 also the cloth that had been around his head, lying
not with the sheets but in a separate place and still folded up.” - John 20:6-7
(CJB)
These
Scriptures tell us that, when Yahshua’s disciples went inside the tomb, they saw
the burial sheets or strips of cloth lying there, as well as a separate cloth that
had been folded up and placed apart from the other strips of linen that
Yahshua’s body had been bound with. This folded piece of cloth was likely the
Burial Shroud that had covered the entire body after it had been embalmed.
Scripture
also tells us that Yahshua was buried in a wealthy man’s private stone-cut
tomb. Furthermore, the description given of how Joseph of Arimathea and
Nicodemus prepared Yahshua’s body for burial by binding it in spice-soaked
strips of linen comply with procedures that were followed for preparing the
body for burial in ancient times, especially the wealthier classes living in
Judea. Judging by the amount of myrrh and aloes that Nicodemus brought to
embalm Yahshua’s body with, which Scripture states was about 100 pounds’ worth,
Yahshua was indeed buried in the manner of a rich man:

“After this,
Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the
Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate
gave him permission. So he came and took the body of
Jesus. 39 And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also
came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred
pounds. 40 Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips
of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to
bury. 41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden,
and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.42 So there
they laid Jesus, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day, for the tomb
was nearby.” - John 19:38-42 (NKJ)
Note how this
scripture tells us how Yahshua’s body was embalmed with strips of linen soaked
with spices, which included the aloe gels and myrrh resins that Nicodemus had
brought. My own research into ancient burial customs shows what Joseph and
Nicodemus may have done to embalm Yahshua’s body. The embalming methods used by
the wealthy at the time of Christ included the following steps.
1. The body
was washed, then anointed with fragrant and purifying oils and sprinkled with a
germ-killing herb and spice blend.
2. The body
and head were then wrapped in several long strips of linen that had been soaked
in aloes and fragrant oils, and sprinkled with the same spice blend on the body.
3. Over this,
for the wealthy, a burial shroud of one piece was often placed, and then tied
into position by strips of linen or rope.
This is why
the wealthy man Lazarus, who had his own villa in Bethany ,
a suburb of Jerusalem
Since the
Gospel of John states that Lazarus walked out of the tomb on his own, his legs
apparently had kicked open the bottom of the shroud covering him enough for him
to walk. The Scriptures also say that Lazarus was still bound hand and foot by
his grave clothes and needed human assistance to get the shroud, embalming
strips, and binds wrapped over and around him completely off:
“Now when He
had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come forth!’ 44 And
he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face
was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, ‘Loose him, and let him go.’”
- John 11:43-44 (NKJ)
Thus, the
raising of Lazarus gives us a clear idea of how bodies were prepared for burial
in ancient Judea . Although none of this can
prove that the image on the Shroud depicts the crucified body of Yahshua, it
does indicate that there is no reason to doubt that the Shroud couldn’t be
authentic, despite the claims by numerous doubters that it was a medieval
forgery.
Some who
insist the Shroud is a painted forgery say that it was created by Leonardo DaVinci as a slick prank, and that the face on the shroud is a painted image of
Leonardo DaVinci himself. This composite image showing Leonardo’s hand drawn self
portrait next to the Shroud image didn’t convince me, however. There are too
many glaring differences between the images, especially in the length of the
nose and face, and in the height and shape of eyebrows and forehead:

There are
still others who claim that the Shroud is authentic, but that it was used to
gather Yahshua’s DNA from the bloodstains on the cloth to create a clone of
Christ. They also assert that this cloned copy of Yahshua is none other than
Prince William of the United
Kingdom
Although I do
think that Prince William’s father Prince Charles is a definite candidate for
the Antichrist or leader of the Illuminati, I am not convinced that Price William
is a Clone of Christ, or that his face actually resembles the face on the
Shroud.
Personally, I
think William looks very much like his English mother Princess Diana, and not
like a Jewish man at all. I have researched this myself and don’t see a perfect
correlation between the features on the face on the Shroud and the face of
William.

As the image above shows, the features on the Shroud and William’s face are NOT the same or even similar. To start with, the face on the Shroud has a longer nose, broader chin, much larger and deeper-set eye sockets, a larger space between eye and brow, and much higher cheek bones than those on Prince William’s face:
Another
distinct difference is that 2013 images of Prince William show that he is beginning
to go bald. William, who turned 30 in 2012 and thus was around the same age as
Yahshua when he was photographed in 2013, was showing a significant loss of
hair. Below is a photo of Prince William holding his newborn son Prince George

I, for one,
believe that the Shroud of Turin is indeed the Burial Cloth that was wrapped
around the embalmed body of Yahshua and over His head, and that the image on
this Shroud was created by the energy released at the very moment of His
resurrection from the dead.
Ultimately, the
choice to believe whether the Shroud of Turin is the authentic Burial Cloth of
Christ or not depends on one’s faith in the Gospels, as well as in the power of
miracles. Because, if this Shroud is indeed the cloth that covered Yahshua’s
head that was found folded up in the tomb where He had been laid, then it truly
is a miracle that it not only contains Christ’s crucified image at the moment of His resurrection, but that it
has survived all these years to remain as a testimony to the power of God and
His Son to resurrect the dead, starting with Yahshua Himself.
