Min's Historical Calendar Of Jesus - Chapter 10

CHAPTER 10
JESUS WAS RESURRECTED three days and three nights [Mat 12:40]
after His body was entombed, resurrected Saturday evening, April
28, 31 AD, counted as Sunday, i.e. the first day of the Hebrew
calendar week [Mat 28:1; Mark 16:2,9; Luke 24:1; John 20:1,19];
His resurrection was discovered at sunrise[5 AM], early Sunday
morning. Covered by a swath cloth [`Sudarium of Oviedo'] and
wrapped in linen [`Shroud of Turin'], His body was sealed in the
nearby, newly-hewn stone sepulchre of the disciple Joseph of
Arimathaea [Mat 27:57-60]. Joseph, Nicodemus, Mary Magdalene and
Mary mother of Joses prepared and wrapped Jesus' body, arranging
flowers and preparing spices according to the ancient custom as
time permitted. These flower arrangements -- clearly evident in
the Turin shroud -- were not at first completed that frightful
evening of 15 Nisan, but were completed on Friday following the
High Sabbath, with the final spices and ointments to be applied
early Sunday morning, but of course, that final preparation was
not to be: JESUS WAS RISEN!
The astronomical data for Jesus' resurrection is calculated
thusly:

This resurrection process impressed the shroud with the image of
Lord Jesus' once-dead, mutilated body, apparently resulting from
bursts of radiant energy instantly emitted during the miraculous
resurrection process, an energy which immediately dispersed as
this process neared completion, given that there's no apparent
movement visible in the shroud's image. Mary and Martha's
brother Lazarus might have left some similar image in the
swathing bands and face cloth he was wrapped in [John 11:1-44,
12:17]? Notably, the clothes of persons who've died wearing them
for any length of time after their death's have never once been
shown to have any such image impressed into their clothing's
fibers, thus proving the shroud's image is not a function of any
process known to science, since the man in the shroud was very
clearly a man who'd been dead i.e. clinically and biologically
dead not living. Hence, by all scientific accounts, the image
should not be there, but there it is nonetheless, providing
compelling evidence for the shroud's authenticity;
but there's a lot more evidence to this...
The Turin shroud and Sudarium cloth are pages of Scripture
penned in the precious blood of our Lord & Savior Jesus-Christ
"signed" by the hand of God. Just as Scripture endures all
scrutiny in the Spirit of Prophecy which is testimony Jesus-
Christ, the shroud and face covering invite all manner of
secular-religious critiques, yet the artifacts do prevail under
the brightest lights that the scientific inquiry has to offer.
We know that the shroud & face covering are the genuine burial
linen of Jesus since the evidence clearly proves it--not that
any such evidence is "requisite" to the Christian faith, but
neither does this imply that one should simply turn a blind
eye to all this evidence, especially since the evidence is 100%
conclusive. If evidence sways a few doubting Thomas's out there,
then we as Christians have fared well. The following items are
my own redactions of key evidences posted on Internet websites:
* Doctors of medicine, those who are experts in the human
anatomy, particularly forensic pathologists, medical examiners,
coroners and the like, have examined the image in the shroud,
concluding that this adult male in his 30s had suffered severe
beatings and crucifixion precisely as is described in the New
Testament gospel accounts. Some of these medical professionals
have admitted openly that "this image could be of none other
than the One, crucified Jesus"[ref. Bucklin, M.D., J.D.; et al].
But one need not be an human anatomist to be horrified at the
obvious match between a Roman flagellum and the double-beaded
wounds on the victim's back, or the distinctive profile of the
lance where he was stabbed in the region of his 5th rib;
* The shroud measures 4.6 x 1.1 meters, which are the standard
measurements of 8 x 2 Philatelic cubits used in Palestine in the
first century AD. It bears the front and back images of our Lord
crucified in a manner identical to that which was testified to
in the Scriptures. The shroud is the most intensively
scrutinized artifact in recorded history, with scientific
testing proving time and again that the image was produced NOT
by artistic methods, but by profound physical changes in the
linen fibers themselves by process(es) unknown and to date
unidentified. Physicist Osward Schewermann, who'd conducted
experiments on the phenomenon of coronal discharge, i.e.,
emission of radiation from a surface charged with static
electricity, Schewermann observed that flat objects such as
leaves will discharge electrons from their edges when they touch
cloth, forming well-defined lines which follow contours where
the leaves and cloth make actual contact, but are more diffused
where the materials are close, but don't actually touch. This is
partially characteristic of most of the shroud's smaller images,
describing most images but the inexplicable image formed by the
crucified body: THIS image no scientist in the world can explain;
* The herringbone twill @ 3:1 weave is distinctively of first-
century Syrian manufacture. The flax fibrils contain entwisted
cotton fibrils from the very same loom, the cotton Gossypium
herbaceum, a Middle East species not found in Europe;
* The shroud contains myriad pollen grains from at least 58
species of plants, 17 of which are indigenous to Europe(where
it's been kept for the last seven centuries), but most are
indigenous to the region of the Dead Sea and Turkey, including
Artemisia herba-alba, Nyoscyamus aureus, and Onosma syriacum.
Even the pollen the Guindellia naforte, the spiny plant which
formed the wreath of thorns, this was found to be of local
origin. But the Zygophyllum dumosum is identified as being the
most significant plant imaged in the shroud, as it grows only in
Israel, Jordan, and Sinai. The winter leaves all reveal their
previous year's petioles, proving the plants were picked in the
springtime, as does the state of growth for every plant thus far
identified. Some rather surprising images have also been
identified, including a hammer and a nail, a broom, an ancient-
style rope, even the sponge and reed[Mark 15:36]! These items
all by themselves are evidence enough, but the list continues.
* Blood was typed AB in all scientific testing performed. This
ancient blood was found to contain very high levels of bilirubin
consistent with the severe concussive injuries suffered by our
Lord on that prophesied Passover of 31 AD;
* C14 measurements of bacteria, fungi and bioplastic/biogenic
varnish deposited as a result of the symbiosis between the two
organisms had compromised the results of every C14 test done.
These 1988 radiocarbon dating tests averaged remnant C14 of the
original linen with the microorganisms Lichenothelia and
Rhodococcus AND the resultant calcium carbonate varnish. This
bioplastic varnish was NOT removed by the cleaning procedures
used in radiocarbon labs, and these microorganisms are still
present, living and multiplying on the linen shroud of Turin.
[ref. Mattingly/Garza-Vermes]; this was admitted to by the
test's inventor, yet the "debunkers" ignore these and all
other evidences proving the shroud is not a "painting";
* The swath cloth[Sudarium of Oviedo; John 20:6-7] shows an
obvious match with the image and stains on the shroud in at
least 120 points of coincidence, and the Sudarium is known to
date at its very least back to 613 AD from Palestine, and 1075
AD in Spain, further proving that the radiocarbon tests were
compromised. This by itself is evidence that the shroud is the
genuine burial linen of Jesus;
* Particulate iron-oxide permeating the shroud was proven NOT to
be some "artist's pigment", and likewise, was proven NOT to be
the cause of the image in the linen fibrils of the shroud,
irrespective of its origin(s). X-ray fluorescent analysis
confirmed that there was "no discernable relevance" between
concentrations of iron oxide particles and the varying densities
of the image. Microspectrophotometric analysis of blood from the
shroud found hemoglobin, but in its acid-methemoglobin form due
to its great antiquity and denaturation. Additional tests
identified the presence of porphyrin, albumin, bilirubin and
protein. Also, "when proteases were applied to a fibril
containing the denaturated blood, the blood dissolved, but left
an imageless fibril"[ref. Heller/Adler]. This proves the image
contemporaneous with the ancient blood by demonstrating that
those fresh bloodstains were absorbed by the cloth before
formation of the image contained in the linen fibrils, thus the
body's image is inextricably linked to the presence of that same
dead body's blood! Dr's Adler and Heller went further by
applying pleochroism, birefringence and chemical analysis,
thereby determining that, unlike artist's pigment which contains
iron oxide contaminated by manganese, cobalt, and nickel, the
iron oxide on the shroud is relatively pure. Subsequent research
into the procedures of flax preparation and linen manufacture
showed that pure iron oxide is perfectly normal to the process
of fermenting(retting) flax in large outdoor vats of water. This
is conclusive evidence that the iron oxide on the shroud of
Turin is NOT the remnant of "artist's pigment" [ref. STURP;
Morris, Schwalbe, London; X-Ray Spectrometry, Vol 9, no. 2,
1980, pp 40-47; Schwalbe, L.A. & Rogers, R.N., Analytica
Chimica Acta 135, 1982, pp 3-19];
* In 1532 the chapel at Chambery caught fire, and the heat was
so intense that part of the silver reliquary where the shroud
was stored melted, dripping onto the folded shroud. The shroud
was saved from the fire but the burns were significant, since
the shroud had been exposed to intense heat at low oxygen
levels. This may have contributed to the grossly inaccurate
radiocarbon dating of the shroud, as might've the centuries
of tallow candle smoke and incense residue, too;
* When iconography dating to the sixth century was rescaled
then superimposed on the shroud's face, at least 170 unique
points of congruity were clearly identified with the composite
image. This in itself has developed into a science, with the
shroud's singularly distinctive facial features depicted
everywhere in post- 6th century art. There is an illustration
of the entombed and enshrouded Jesus which was found in a
prayer book from Budapest, called the Pray Manuscript, which
illustration depicts the unique "L" pattern of burn holes
formed earlier in the shroud's long history, and even shows
the distinctive herringbone twill of the shroud's weave. This
manuscript and illustration dates to 1192, with the shroud
clearly used as its model, and is yet another of dozens of
positive evidences proving the radiocarbon tests grossly in
error and scientifically invalid, thus are properly ignored,
and our friends the "debunkers" are left out in the cold;
* &There's much more scientific and historical evidence for
the shroud, and this long, long list of incontrovertible
evidence keeps growing. and growing. and growing, and...

Next, there were two, comparatively minor events which occurred
about forty years after our Lord's Resurrection, events which
deserve only brief mention; the first is the date in which the
daily sacrifice had ceased and the temple was soon destroyed:

_______________________________________________________________
Excerpts from the Book of Daniel 9:27 (KJV): "and in the midst
of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to
cease." This cause was clearly the Lamb of God's crucifixion
nearly 40 years (14,337 days, or 39 years + 93 days) prior to
this date, ".and for the overspreading of abominations." The
Jewish hierarchy had flatly rejected their One True Lord and
Rightful King, rendering the temple at Jerusalem the veritable
"synagogue of Satan"[ref. Rev 2:9], kindling the Lord God YHWH's
almighty wrath once again, thus ".he shall make it desolate,
even until the consummation" was made manifest and the prophecy
was fulfilled ".and the people of the prince that shall come
shall destroy the city and the sanctuary".
The Prince that shall come is Jesus resurrected to eternal glory
as King of kings. Jesus promised to return at His Second Advent,
thus His people were the Roman soldiers under Titus, since
they'd taken it upon themselves to foolishly act as "a revenger
to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil."[Rom 13:4]. But this
is not to imply endorsement of the Roman's murderous rampage,
rather, this reminder from `Toward Romans' admonishes us to love
and forgive, being sure of God's promise:
"...avenge not yourselves, but rather give place
unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine;
I will repay, saith the Lord."--Rom 12:19 AV
Just 24 days later, the temple was set ablaze by an overzealous
Roman soldier. Within hours, the temple was destroyed, August
10, 70 AD, which was on 15 Av 3830, not 9 Av of talmudic
tradition which has accorded "adjustments" thereto presumably
in remembrance of the first temple's destruction. The new moon
preceding the fire occurred July 26 70 AD @ 7:09:03 AM JST[JD
1746831.71462], with the full moon @ 6:54:42 PM JST August 10
[JD 1746847.20466], and 1 Tishri of the following Hebrew
calendar year 3831 was Monday, Sep 24, 70 AD, so 15 Av 3830
is most definitely the correct Hebrew calendar date of the
fire. Again, "9 Av" is orthodox myth.
&The second of these noteworthy events is when the city of
Jerusalem was utterly destroyed and lade waste, i.e. the
city was literally "razed flat":
Julian day: 1746876

Moonset: 6:21:09 PM JST; JD 1746861.18135
Gabriel's promised "desolate...consummation"[Dan 9:27] was
fulfilled. But Titus spared the western wall and the three
towers, Hippicon, Phasaelus and Mariamme ".for their great
beauty and strength.a monument to posterity to the magnificence
of that city." [B. Ussher's `Annals' 4073bAM,4783JP,70AD#6978].
- - - - From that time "unto the end of the war" means these end-times,
that is, these almost two millennia since Jesus' ascension to
the right hand of God, up until His promised return[see Chapter
11]. Look at the same passage in Green's Literal Translation:
"ruins are determined, and war shall be until the end"[Dan 9:26].
This "end" has been prophesied by gifted seers from virtually every
race-culture in the world, but the Book of Daniel and Revelation
of John enjoy no rival. This final test is commonly known as the
3 1/2-year tribulation, the last war on Earth before Daniel's
"divided fourth kingdom of iron/miry clay" is eradicated: the
terrible destruction of which we are beginning to see already...
"Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not
thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because
of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from
anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to
do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that
wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. For yet
a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou
shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight
themselves in the abundance of peace.-- Psa 37:7-11 AV
