The middle of the fourteenth century was a time of crisis for medieval France. At war with England, and racked by famine and plague, the country was beset with problems. Against this backdrop, at the tiny church of Lirey in central France, what we now know as the Shroud of Turin was first exposed to a troubled public. Portraying the image of a scourged and crucified man, it was claimed to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. But was it real … or a clever fake designed to earn its owner, the Middle Age knight Geoffroi de Charny, confidant and protector of King John the Good of France, fame and fortune?
In this extraordinary book, Geoffroi de Charny has been posthumously charged with murder – of killing an innocent victim in order to create the image on the shroud. Or, in the alternative, did he fraudulently acquire Christ’s burial cloth, obtaining for himself the clearest confirmation of Jesus’s resurrection? His trial calls on expert witnesses to examine the case, combining modern scientific evidence with insights into the religious and cultural background of first century Israel, and new understanding of the symbols on the shroud and concealed messages in the New Testament. The author takes a scholarly approach in presenting the judicial process, revealing new information regarding the history of the most precious relic of the Christian faith and the reasons why its early custodians were Sworn to Secrecy.
This detailed legal exposé puts the onus firmly on the Turin Shroud’s present custodian, the Pope, to put the record straight by allowing new scientific tests, in particular using two currently available methods that could be deployed without causing further damage to the shroud. This approach should settle the matter once and for all. The significance would be immense for a fractured world plagued by competing world views. It could serve as a definitive sign of Jesus’s second coming at the end of the Age, as prophesied in the Old Testament Book of Daniel by The Man Clothed in Linen.
Don's book, "The Man Clothed in Linen" is a breakthrough in predicting the return of Jesus Christ. Solving the coded messages given by the man clothed in linen in the Old Testament Book of Daniel, the date of the second coming is foretold, and the signs of this imminent occurrence are identified. The numeric sequences form complementary proof of the authenticity of the Turin Shroud, as disclosed in his second book, “Sworn to Secrecy”.
The outcome of Don's findings is mind-blowing and explains why our generation is witness to events predicted by Jesus to happen on Earth and in the heavens.
It is recommended that you acquire "The Man Clothed in Linen" as its contents will prepare you for the irrefutable evidence of authenticity of the Shroud of Turin in conjunction with Jesus’s second coming.
