Matthew 12:38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees told Jesus, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
39 But he replied to them, An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign. Yet no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah, 40 because just as Jonah was in the stomach of the sea creature for three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. 41 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment and condemn the people living today, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. But look—something greater than Jonah is here! 42 The queen of the south will stand up and condemn the people living today, because she came from so far away to hear the wisdom of Solomon. But look! Something greater than Solomon is here!
The Sign of Jonah
The most extraordinary thing has happened, the sign of Jonah has appeared in the form of the Shroud that covered our LORD after His crucifixion. Everyone now can see and examine it. Atheists and even Jews have converted to Christianity after studying the Shroud.
The Facts of the Shroud
- The Shroud of Turin is a 14-foot-long linen cloth bearing the front and back image of a man who appears to have suffered crucifixion.
- It is kept in Turin, Italy and has been venerated for centuries as the burial cloth of Jesus Christ.
- It is dated from the 1st Century matching the time of our LORD.
- Plant life found on the Shroud is from Jerusalem.
- Coins over the eyes imprinted with the mark, Tiberius Caesar also dating it to the 1st century. The markings match a lepton coin circulated in Judea in the 1st century.
- The image of the Shroud was made with radiant Light
- There are over 700 wounds on the Shroud
- There was a crown of thorns placed upon the head blood stains indicate this crown was concave converging the entire head unlike a band that just went around the head on the brow area.
- Imprints of nail wounds on the wrist and ankles confirming it is a crucified victim
- Long hair and beard indicates to us that the man was a Jew.
- Parted Hair down the middle tells us that the man's style was from Nazareth
- The high quality material of the the shroud matches the Bible's description that a wealthy man, Joseph of Arimathea took Jesus off the cross and wrapped Him in the cloth.
- Limestone residue on the cloth lets us know that it was used in a Jerusalem tomb
- The blood stains are still red on the cloth indicating that bilirubin is present, bilirubin is a chemical in the blood that is created when the victim is under extreme stress or torture that will make the blood cells break down and stay red and never turn black or brown.
- There is no paint or brush strokes found on the cloth
- It contains 3D encoding, meaning the intensity of the image corresponds to distance from the cloth.
- A Large side wound on the victim
- Scourging marks consistent with a Roman flagrum (whip with metal or bone tips)
- The blood stains on the Shroud are real human blood (Type AB).
- The image is a negative, meaning when viewed in a photographic negative, the details become sharper.

To Believers
Are you not glad that you are a believer? I mean think of it, we were way ahead of the game years ago when the lied to us about the Shroud and many other things. Science is foolishness to God because it is man's wisdom.
To The Foolish Skeptic and Atheist
The fool has said in his heart, "There is no god". Ps 14:1. I do not feel bad for you at all. No doubt, you are willingly ignorant. You would accept less facts to justify anything else. Well, for you and people like you, your time is coming to an end. You have been warned and here is the sign of Jonah staring you right in the face. Your destruction is justified and pure. The lame excuses you keep telling yourself and preaching to other people are numbered. The truth stares at you in the face but, you are like the deer in the headlights of a car on a dark night.
I'm not interested in being right about my past ideas. I'm not interested in self justification. I am interested in the truth.
