Does the Shroud of Turin Preserve the Face of Yeshua?
The city of Turin is holding on to a potential treasure: the supposed linen burial cloth of Yeshua of Nazareth. The Shroud of Turin, is a length of linen cloth bearing the negative image of a man. Some claim the image depicts Jesus of Nazareth and the fabric is the burial shroud in which he was wrapped after crucifixion.
Looking Closely at the Eyes...
The eyes appear to have circular disks over the eyelids and some have speculated that these are coins - an ancient Judaic burial practice. The source of this tradition is in question: it parallels a Pagan practice of providing coins for the ferryman to cross the river Stix.
The Judean practice may be more practical. There was great discomfort in seeing the eyes of the dead. In order to prevent the eyelids from rising, due to the tightening of muscles after death, people preparing the body would place something weighted over the eyelids. Coins were perfect for this, since they were small, flat and relatively heavy.
The coins common to 30AD in Judea are shown below. If coins were place in the eyelids of Yeshua, it could appear similar to these below.
What is interesting is these coins seem to depict various biblical concepts (whether intentional or not).
The first is the bending stalks of grain from Joseph's dream.
The second and third depict a shepherd's staff, reminiscent of the various famous shepherds in the bible, such as Moses and David.
Bless the Most High!
Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin
We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.
No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny
Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations. Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.
