The shroud of Turin is proved to be from the time of Jesus.

"Beware of false leaders, who come to you in the garb of sheep, while
inwardly they are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you shall discover them."
(Jesus, by testimony of Matthew Levi; Matthew 7:15, The New Testament)

"You shall know the truth, because
the truth shall set you free."
(Jesus; John 8:32, The New Testament)

"I say that Jesus the Messiah is the son of Mary, he is the Word, and he has revealed the mysteries in the name of God."
(A Christian Bishop to a heathen Khazar king)

"[I speak in parables] because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. . . . I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. . . . The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn."
(Jesus; Matthew 13:11, 13:35 & 13:24, NT)

"I tell you that many will come from east and west and sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob [Israel] in the [fake] heavenly kingdom. But the [real] children of the kingdom will be thrown out into the dark where they will cry and suffer. [...] The one who plants the good seed is the son of man, the plantation is the world, the good seed is the children of the kingdom, but the tares are the children of the wicked one. The enemy that sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world... all who misleads man and breaks the law... will [be thrown...] into a furnace of fire... Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Hear, you who got ears."
(Jesus, in Matthew 8:11 & 13:37, the New Testament)

"When somebody hear the word of the kingdom, but don't
understand it, then comes the [children of the] wicked one, and
takes away that which was sown in his heart."
(Jesus, in Matthew 13:19, the New Testament)

"You have heard of a coming anti-Christ, and now many anti-Christs have stepped forward. . . . They have begun from us but are not part of us. Because if they were they would have stayed with us. But it should be known that none of them belongs to us. . . . You know that no lie comes from truth."
(I John 2:18, the New Testament)

"Israelites are not all that comes from Israel, and not all from
Abraham are his children... not all are children from God"
(Romans 9:4, the New Testament)

"I was sent for no others than the lost sheep of Israel."
(Jesus, Matthew 15:24, the New Testament)

"[Your so-called Mosaic Law is actually] commandments
of men... you reject the commandment of God, that
you may keep your own tradition."
(Jesus to the Pharisees; Mark 7:3, the New Testament)

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whited
sepulchres, which appear beautiful without but are within full of dead men's
bones, and of all uncleanness. Likewise you appear righteous outwardly, but within you're full of hypocrisy and iniquity."
(Jesus, in Matthew 23:27, the New Testament)

"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you shut up
the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves
neither suffer you them that are entering to go in."
(Jesus, in Lukas, 11:52, the New Testament)

"So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall
come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
and shall cast them into the furnace of fire"
(Jesus, in Matthew 13:49, the New Testament)

"I know your afflictions and your poverty - yet you are rich! I know the slander of those who say they are [Judahites/Judeans] and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you and you will suffer persecution... Be faithful, even to the point of death and I will give you the crown of life."
(Revelations 2:9, the New Testament)

"You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speak a lie he speak of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it."
(John 8:44, the New Testament)

"Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?"
(Jesus to the Pharisees; John 10:34, the New Testament)

"[T]hey have taught their tongue to speak lies...
through deceit they refuse to know me, said the Lord."
(Jeremiah 9:5, the Old Testament)

From Judahite-Benjaminite
to modern Jew; from "Ruler of
the Judeans" to "King of Jews"

Jesus - King Abgar - Emperor Constantine
Porphyrogenitus - the Knights of Templar

"Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb."
(Mark 15:43-46, The New Testament)

"[T]o Jesus who has appeared as a gracious saviour in the region of Jerusalem-greeting. I have heard about you, and the cures you perform. . . . In my thoughts I have arrived at two possible conclusions, that either you are God and have come down from heaven to achieve these things or you do these things because you are the Son of God... I have heard that the Jews murmur against you and wish to do you harm. My city is quite small, but it is honorable, and there is a place in it for both of us"
(Abgar, King of Edessa and the brilliantly successful monarch of the peoples of Mesopotamia, who was dying of a terrible physical disorder)

Thaddaeus, one of the original 12 disciples (Mark 13:18), later after the death of Jesus went to Abgar and gave him the Shroud for safekeeping.

Abgar (who himself was an Israelite) lived until AD 50 and Edessa (Odessa or "Edessa" in Mesopotamia/Iraq?; "the first city to be evangelized in Byzantium") was known throughout the civilized world of that day as the first Christian city.

In 944, when the Byzantine emperor, having heard of its existence, sent an army (!) and brought it to Constantinople.

"[I]n 732... Emperor Constantine V married a Khazar princess. In due time their son became the Emperor Leo IV, known as Leo the Khazar. [...] the eastern confines of Europe between the Caucasus and the Volga were ruled by a Jewish state, known as the Khazar Empire. At the peak of its power, from the seventh to the tenth centuries AD, it played a significant part in shaping the destinies of mediaeval, and consequently of modern, Europe. The Byzantine Emperor and historian, Constantine Porphyrogenitus (913-959), must have been well aware of this"
(Arthur Koestler, "The Thirteenth Tribe")

The Christian European Knights of the Fourth Crusade stormed and sacked the Christian city of Constantinople (between 944 and 1452) and a French Knight, Robert de Clari, kept a careful record of what he had seen. Constantinople was stripped of its treasury of art and relics, and the shroud disappeared at the same time. Many historians believe it was given to the Knights of Templar (!), then the most powerful organization in Europe. (It is is here that the final connection is made.) A leading knight of the order at that time was Geoffrey de Charnay. It is believed the shroud was given to him for safekeeping, and even though de Charnay was burned at the stake (just as the leader de Molay), he went to his grave without ever revealing the whereabouts.

Finally, the granddaughter of de Charnay Marguerite transferred ownership of the shroud to the Savoy family (?) in 1452. There a fire broke out that damaged the shroud. Then the Savoys moved the shroud to Turin. And there it remains to this day.

"3D scan" (V-8 Image analyzer) of the
shroud, with two spears left and right:
from the "Scientific Journal Science"

"One of the most intriguing aspects of the Shroud image is the graphic evidence of the spear wound in Jesus' chest. The Gospel of John states that he was already dead when he was stabbed in the side in order to make sure that he was dead, and that blood and water proceeded from the wound. This mixture is visible on the Shroud. It proceeded from the chest wound, and is actually more visible on the dorsal [back] image, where the blood flowed horizontally across the waist. Physicians agree that the Shroud image of the wound is consistent with the gospel statement that a Roman lance [the 'spear of destiny'? -RCF] penetrated Jesus' heart."
("Verdict on the Shroud," pp 182-185)

"... a 5-foot, 11-inch male Caucasian
weighing about 178 pounds"
--Dr. Joseph Gambescia

One theory is that the image on the shroud was formed by a burst of radiation - from Jesus.

Physicians who have examined the Shroud image are unanimous in their belief that the man was dead when he was placed in the Shroud, and that his death was caused by crucifixion and the tortures (scourging and beating) that preceded it.

Pollens from Edessa, Palestine, Constaninople and Europe are found all over the shroud, which means the shroud must have been in these places in some point in time. 28 species of plants that grow in the Land of Israel were found.

Even blood spots are on the shroud, and have been identified as human and of type "AB"!

1) The word "Pharisee" comes from the Hebrew word "metaforaschm," which means interpretation. In this case interpretation of scriptures.

2) The root meaning of "Pharisee" is uncertain. It is probably related to the Hebrew parash (Aramaic perish), "one who separates."

"For there were three philosophical sects among the Jews. The followers of the first of whom are the Pharisees; of the second the Sadducees; and of the third sect, who pretend to a severer discipline, are called Essens [Essenes]. These last are Jews by birth, and seem to have a greater affection for one another than the other two sects have."
(Flavius Josephus, a famous Jewish historian, in "Wars of the Jews," Book 2, Chapter 8, Whiston Translation)

In Matthew 23, he called them: "Hypocrites," "sons of hell," "blind guides," "fools," "full of robbery and self-indulgence," "whitewashed tombs... full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness," "full of hypocrisy and lawlessness," "partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets," and "serpents and brood of vipers."

"Jeshu [Jesus], the Nazarene, who has brought the world away from belief in Jehovah [the 'Jewish God'], who be praised, will each Friday be again restored. At day break of Saturday he will be thrown into boiling oil. Hell will pass but his punishment and his tortures will never end. Jesus and Mohammed are those unclean bones of offal of which the Scripture says: 'Ye shall cast before the dogs. They are the dirt of the dog, the unclean, and because they have misled men, they are cast into Hell, from which they never again come out.'"
('Sepher-Ha-Zohar', second part of the Kabalah, translation by Jean de Pauly, Paris, Ernest Leroux 1907. Second Volume, p. 88)

In the Talmud one can read (if one is a Jew and knows Hebrew;
and therefore is ALLOWED to read it):

"Jesus was a magician who worked
his miracles through magic."
(Talmud, Shabbath, 104b)

"... in addition to a series of scurrilous sexual allegations against Jesus, the Talmud states that his punishment in hell is to be immersed in boiling excrement - a statement not exactly calculated to endear the Talmud to devout Christians.
"According to the Talmud, Jesus was executed by a proper rabbinical court for idolatry, inciting other Jews to idolatry, and contempt of rabbinical authority. All classical Jewish sources which mention his execution are quite happy to take responsibility for it; in the talmudic account the Romans are not even mentioned."
("Jewish history, Jewish religion" by Israel Shahak)

The Talmud, which is a compilation of the sayings of Jewish sages down through the years and which according to Jewish religious leaders is the "heart blood of modern Judaism," classifies the non-Jew, whom they call "goyim", as a "beast of burden created to serve the Jews; and is the property of Jews." So they conveniently appropriated the word "gentile," when in the original Hebrew and Greek, it referred to "nations." To the Jew it means "cattle" and "non-Jews."

Martin Luther (1483-1546) one of the key figures in the Protestant Reformation and an accomplished scholar in both Hebrew and Aramaic, after an initial "love affair" with Jews that turned to ashes in his mouth, wrote a startling expose titled "The Jews and their lies". In this book he argued brilliantly that the root cause of gentile "anti-Semitism," was Jewish "anti-Gentilism."

"Ask yourself [Jew], what do I know about the Talmud? From the birth of Jesus to the present there has never been recorded a more vicious, vile and libelous blasphemy against Jesus and Christians then you will find in the pages of these 63 volumes. The Talmud reviles Christ and Christians in unbelievably foul, obscene, indecent, lewd and vile language."
--Dr. Benjamin Freedman, a converted Jew, to a Dr. Goldstein

"Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost."
(Matthew 1:18, the New Testament)

"It shows a message, but I am not sure it is too hidden. You find that Yeshua is a Jew by looking at His genealogy [his adoptive father, Joseph]. You also see that there were Gentiles and people of poor reputation in His lineage. It shows that there is room for us all in His family. . . . Using the Biblical Names to get a message is called Shemology, now as a good teacher, I tell you to study it out for yourself. I will not give it to you but tell you it is a rich word picture."
(WWW: Ask the Messianic Rabbi)

"Jesus name in Hebrew was probably something . . . [like] Y'shua ben Yosef (Jesus the son of Joseph). You have to keep in mind that Y'shua, or Yeshua, or Yashua, which ever way you want to transliterate the spelling of the Hebrew, is a shortened form of his name. In essence, Y'shua, etc. is a nickname. . . . [H]is [full] name would probably be Yehoshua ben Yosef . . . [with the title] 'The Carpenter'. Natzaret was a small town, but it's reasonable to assume that there may have been more than one Yosef dwelling there. [...] There is no letter 'J' in Hebrew, Joshua is an anglo derivitive of Yehoshua. Another point of interest is that in the Galil, Hebrew was and still is to a point spoken with a regional dialect. Folks from the Galil tended to drop the 'ah' sound, especially in names, so Yeshua's friends from the Galil may have called him 'Yeshu'. This however is not a practice I would recommend, as the word Yeshu in Hebrew is also an acronym which some of our sages came up with which mean 'May his name be blotted out.' [!- as mentioned by Israel Shahak or Rev. Pranaitis] . . . As to whether the name Jesus is of Greek or Hebrew origin, I will say it's definately not Hebrew. Yeshua in Hebrew means 'Salvation'. Jesus is not the Greek equivilent of this word. Salvation in Greek is 'Soter' [??]. . . . Jesus is a Latinized version of the Hellenized Hebrew name of Yeshua. . . . Hebrew: Yode + Shin + Vav + Ayin = Yeshua [and in] Greek: Iota + Eta + Sigma + Omicron + Upsilon + Sigma = Iesous"
(WWW: Ask the Messianic Rabbi)

(Name spelled Pandira, Pandera, Pantheras, Panthera
or Panther - first name: Joseph? Joseph P. later married
the "hairdresser" Miriam, Maria, of Bethlehem)

The Jews (and the Talmud) claim that Jesus mother Maria got pregnant with 1. a ghost 2. a Roman soldier named Panthera. The latter is probably more correct.

This whole conspiraracy or plot against the memory of Jesus is called "Toledot Yeshu" or "Sepher Toldoth Jeschu."

The Talmudic authors of the Sota and the Sanhedrim states that Jesus (or Jeschu) was taking during his boyhood to Egypt, where he was initiated into the secret doctrines of the priests.

The Talmud (also) states that the disciples of Jesus healed the sick "in the name of Jesus Pandera" (Yer. Shab. 14d; Ab. Zarah 27b; EccI. R. i. 8). Pharisees and Sadducees identified Jesus father as the Roman soldier Pandera (and not God, or even Josef).

In the "Acts of Pilate" ("Gospel of Nicodemus" ed. Thilo, in "Codex Apoc. Novi Testamenti," i. 526 Leipaic, 1832; comp. Origem, "Contra Celsum," i. 38) a Mr. Celsus makes the same statement in another passage where he refers even to a written source: adding that the seducer was a soldier by the name of Panthera. The name "Panthera" occurs here for the first time; two centuries later it occurs in Epiphanius ("Haeres."Ixxvii. 7), who ascribes the surname "Panther" to Jacob, and ancestor of Jesus; and John of Damascus (Do Orthod. Fide." iv. ss 15) includes the names "Panther" and "Barpanther" in the genealogy of Mary. It is certain, in any case, that the rabbinical sources also regard Jesus as the "son of Pandera," afthough it is noteworthy that he is called also "Ben Stada" (Shab. 104b; Sanh .67a).

The sojourn of Jesus in Egypt is an essential part of the story of his youth. According to the Gospels he was in that country in his early infancy, but Celsus says that he was in service there and learned magic; hence he was there in early manhood. This assumption may serve to throw more light on the obscure history of Jesus that the account found in the Gospels. The Talmud also says that Jesus was in Egypt in early manhood. H. Joshua b. Perahyah is said to have fled with his pupil Jesus to Alexandria in order to escape the persecutions of the "Jewish" king Yannai (103-76 B.C.); on their return Jesus made a remark on the not faultless beauty of their hostess, whereupon H. Joshua excommunicated him; and when Jesus approached him again and was not received he set up a brick for his god, and led all Israel into apostasy (Sanh. 107b; Sotah 47a; Yer. Hag. 77d). This account is supplemented by the statement, made on the assumption that Ben Stada is identical with Ben Pandera, that Ben Stada brought magic from Egypt.
