We learned in Part 30 that the False Prophet will be a false Elijah. He calls fire down from heaven like Elijah did. We are also told that he commands the people to worship the Beast. He will build an image to the Beast and causes the people to have a mark on their hand and their forehead. We know that Jews put the name of God on their foreheads and hands (the letter Shin) when they put on Tefillin. A Mezuzah is a small container that is put on the doorpost of houses, and it has a letter Shin on it. This command is also found in the Shema. It has the name “Shaddai” written on it. A mezuzah may only have a Shin on it also, and not the name Shaddai spelled out. It just depends on what you prefer. Basically, you are putting the name of God on your hand, forehead and doorpost.
In Deut 16.2 it says they were to slaughter the Passover “where the Lord chooses to put his name.” In 1 Kings 8.29 Solomon tells us “that your eyes may be open toward this Temple night and day, toward the place of which you said ‘My name shall be there’ that you may hear the prayer which your servant makes towards this place.” So, we are told that Jerusalem is where God has put his name. It is where the Temple was. 2 Chr 6.6 says, “But I have chosen Jerusalem that my name might be there.” When you look at a topographical map of Jerusalem, you will see the letter Shin on it, formed by the Hinnom, Tyropean and Kidron valleys. Where the Temple is located on this topographical Shin, that is where you put the accent mark in the letter Shin to give it an “sh” sound. If the mark was on the left, it would give the Shin an “s” sound, as in Satan. Both the name of God (Shaddai) and Satan begin with the Shin!
Rev 13.18 says that the number of the False Messiah (Beast) is 6,6,6. People say it should be 666, but we believe it is 6,6,6. The number of man is “6” which is the Hebrew letter Vav. If you put three Vavs together a certain way, it will look like a Shin, but it isn’t. It is a “false Shin” or “false Shaddai.” It is man declaring he is God. This would be a total counterfeit. Everything being done with Replacement Theology, the False Messiah, the false Prophet and the image is a counterfeit.
Now, we are going to look into a very well known counterfeit. In John 19.39-40 we have the burial of Yeshua. They brought 100 pounds of myrrh and aloes and the body was “bound in linen wrappings” not a shroud. In John 11.43-44 we read about the raising of Lazarus. He was bound and had a facecloth, like a mummy. That is what they did to Yeshua. Lazarus walked out of the tomb because both legs were wrapped separately. In John 20.1-9 we find out that the stone had been rolled away to let people into the tomb. Mary’s report to the talmidim was that his body was taken by someone because the stone had been rolled away before she got there. John stooped and looked in first and “saw.” Peter came next and “saw” the linen wrappings and the face cloth by itself. John came in, “saw” and believed, based on what he had seen. He knew the body had not been snatched because they would have taken the body in the wrappings, not unwrapped it, and then took the body alone. He knew Yeshua had been resurrected. Because of the myrrh and aloes, the wrappings had hardened like a cocoon. He could look into the space where the face was and it was an empty shell. The question is, how could they come to that conclusion. Their belief is based only on what they were seeing, “for as yet they did not understand the Scripture that he must rise again from the dead” (v 9).
Now, where do we get the image of “Jesus” today that we see everywhere? We believe that the “Jesus” of Christianity has no resemblance to the “Yeshua” of the Scriptures. He did not look like that, act like that, or dress like that. All of what you see in movies, paintings and statues is part of the delusion. It is all part of what people expect to see, and each follow the other in their depictions because they “toe the party line.” If you don’t agree with this depiction, you are a heretic and not “one of us.” We believe the images in pictures, movies and statues are from what is called “The Shroud of Turin.” But wait, we have this image on a cloth and many believe that that image is “Jesus”, right? They will cite all the “wondrous” things associated with the Shroud and we don’t doubt that. But, we believe that there is a “power” behind all of this. The Shroud is not a painting, it is not a fake, it is not a “scorched image” because of the resurrection. We don’t believe or “buy” any of that.
Images of “Jesus” have appeared on doors, windows, tacos, clouds and other places. People will flock to see these images. News organizations from around the world will come and cover these things and the “miracle” of the image. And they all look like the Shroud of Turin. People have claimed to have died and gone to heaven. Some say they saw “Jesus.” When asked what he looked like, one person said, “Like the Shroud of Turin!” The Shroud cannot be the burial cloth of Yeshua, it is impossible. But, the Shroud is part of a greater deception and delusion that has gone on for hundreds of years in order to condition the people into accepting the Abomination of Desolation. It is to get everyone “on the same page” of believing that the image on the Shroud is what “Jesus” looked like. If you went into a church and took one of those images of “Jesus” and tore it up, what do you think the reaction would be? How would people react if you went on You Tube and ripped an image up, stepped on it or crushed it under your feet? You would be hated and reviled, and called an “Antichrist!”
In Part 32, we will pick up here and continue to look at the Shroud of Turin and its role in the Abomination of Desolation. We will look at the coins found over the eyes of the man on the Shroud, and show many times over that the image does not match up to what really happened to Yeshua.
