Political concerns (cont'd):

'....Fear that Jesus would make good his revival on the third  day.....;fear that the Dead....(ghosts)   which were said to have been seen WALKING IN THE  CITY....WOULD ATTACK THEM;    fear of the  great darkness that gripped all the empire on that Good Friday; fear of the massive  quake  that shook the earth like a bell being rung(said  JOSEPHUS).   And, so   also, like Cain,fear of God's wrath; fear of the innocent blood spilled at his word (Pialate's); in a word, TERROR, THE TERROR  OF GOD SHOOK THIS MAN TO HIS VERY CORE (Judas went insane and killed himself).
 

 An officer's tack & armor:

Someone else in the local chain of command seems  to have ordered Jesus' body and shroud, to be covered over with sword and armor.  I have identified the standard issue sword of the Roman Army, called the Gladiius, it's total length being approximately  27"; it being located from just inside the knee on the side of the lung wound.  The sword's  point being approximately 4" above the crossed hands.

In earlier writings of mine,  I had not yet realized  the continuous nature of the armor covering  i.e.  probable armor of an officer's mount.   "WHAT HAVEN'T I LOCATED?" -  just this: where does one section of scales end and the other start, is there a standard shield or shields, and are there edges and handholds seen?  Of some interest may be the iron used in making many armors and weapons, in as much as iron oxides have been identified upon the Shroud's surface.

Possible...TOTAL TACK....OF AN OFFICER AT JESUS TOMB SHIELF; a 2-1/2 ft. long sword//2ft. long scabard//a shirt of scale armor//a horse's armored eye-guards// bronze scale armor of his mount// a dagger// goat-skin saddle with it's four bronze stiffeners (corner) horns.  helmet with  cast -iron mask//aloes,...leg bindings,arm-phylactory(seen close to one elbow),forehead phylactory (scripture box) removed parchment scripture...about 4" above..(top of head)...container.

What is THE DIVIDING LINE....BETWEEN THESE MILITARY ITEMS AND  THE JEWISH BURIAL ITSELF?  The THE TURINO Shroud is that line.

THE EFFECTS OF BRONZE, IRON OR COPPER ARMOR arms surrounding the flesh of one that is  swooning from  trauma during AN EARTHQUAKE , WITH IT'S RELATED HEAT AND LIGHT, ELECTRIC DISCHARGE AND VIOLENCE;  could this result in the revival of the  dead?
 

The two parts of the equation:

Possibly Christ awoke from coma and was acted upon by external forces, e.g. the ways coma patients are awaken or  how heart failure is  agressively treated,  violently;strong drugs are injected, extreme shock via  metal  plates tried repeatedly or  the  violence of the resurrection was a side-effect of  the powers involved---G O D .
 

Ancient armor's decay:

Also, it would seem.the very Shroud of their victim has out- lasted most all of the weapons of war of that era.  There is a great lack of armor dating from the era of the 1st. century.  Very little has little has lasted all these many yeare, to enlighten us as to details  (mostly were bronze or iron, either woven at all four corners to form a covering, or at an inner , hidden edge, to form a sort of fish-scale protection, of somewhat more modern Roman types, about 40 have been identified, yet these are almost always found in heaps, hardly ever as fairly large intact segments of armor (penny armor, imaged)types, at times mistaken as hourdes).

Much identification of these type is done via stone carvings of battles.  Often, the war-horses are depicted as being enscaled.  A few horse-armors of the 1st century have survived mostly intact; three known by me to be fairly
recognizable.   The closest match to the upper body covering seen over the flesh of Christ is a  bronze armor at the National Museum, Damascus, Syria.
 

Medical Concerns:

A thought comes to mind, that  when someone is bleeding, various ways are used to stem the flow: direct  pressure, bandage, stay calm, don't move  around, (thus keeping the heart rate low),  stay warm, lie down flat, rest, tourniquet.
THE WEIGHT OF THE ARMOR WOULD ACT TO CAUSE THE SHROUD ITSELF TO ACT AS A BANDAGE, AND  BEING   A GOOD DEAL OF DIRECT PRESSURE BEING DOWN.  BODY TEMPATURE WOULD BE KEPT HIGHER.

Any and all of these factors  may have been at play that Sabboth day in the tomb.  Also direct contact with the earth itself is said by many cultures to be of great benefit.  Note this  effect  at the forehead area: blood splotches, exactly where the  contact of covering coin -scales would press down on the  bandage-like shroud.
 

The dozen guards were "silenced":

Consider the question:  was the "Large Money" (i.e. a large amount)  that was given to the tomb-guards for their silence,  in reality the armors themselves?
What do you give a military man, anyway?  Perhaps they gambled over this also.
 

Air Force computer 3D imaging:

Many researchers trying to put together the "best face" out of the raw data that came from Air Force 3D computer imaging did not look human.  This is  fine, except,  with  enlargments of the whole body, I've discovered that this effort to "humanize" (i.e. make it look like flesh) is a false goal and not to the point. The 3D imaging is an uneven reflection and is only that.

Computer Images,  such as the one on the cover one an edition of the Shroud International Spectrum magazine ignore the real information and imagry and try to filter out the uneven reflection (armor covering).  The true computer images on one edition was a popular WASHED version of the data of the  head area. The rough-edges and unevenness had been filtered away to leave a strangish looking .....mask-like computer's idea.   One of the workers on this project was Mr. Ralph Grasiber; he wrote me that he had spent nearly three years...to GET RID OF OF ....OBJECTS images  that ruined the finished product...

Image processing still in infancy

Please help in the effort to use the very computers that manifest the  Shroud image, to not be used to smooth over the realities; rather, to ELECTRONICLY REMOVE THEM.
 

Solar versus Lunar / Reflected light:

WHY?  The Turin Shroud is more than a projected image of the resurrection, it also contains faint reflected imagry of the un-even covering of the coin scale armor.  What a first seems to be a man's image...with study, is found to be much more....i.e., if you shot a photo of yourself, looking into a calm stream ( as in a mirror), many other things are to be noted.  It would seem that this cocoon-like state, as imaged, contains more objects and data....than many might suspect:  a solid covering, allowing in some air, acting like a thermal blanket, keeping the heat in.

Remember Christ's words "be not like unto the foolish man, that, looketh into the perfect mirror of the law, and straight way forgeteth..."  All that I AM REALLY DOING  IS TAKING THE FACTS AND IMAGES, and putting these together  to make manifest Christ's gospel:  "for whatever maketh manifest, IS LIGHT."   also "...a city that is set upon a hill ,can not be hid."
 

Pilate's Fall:

A short bit from one of my bible concordances:  PI'LATE, Pon'tius "...one of his acts was to remove the headquarters of the Army from Caesarea to Jerusalem.  THE SOLDIERS, OF COURSE TOOK WITH THEM STANDARDS, BEARING THE IMAGE OF THE EMPEROR , INTO THE HOLY CITY. NO PREVIOUS GOVERNER HAD VENTURED ON SUCH  AN OUTRAGE . resistance to(such) an idolatrous innovation..." "...he was banished to Vienna..."

Help from above:

       I would like to note the idea of the chosen of God....in the revelations of John/   The standard  Size of the Roman military was ,for a good many years...only 26-30 Legions ...,of about 5000 men each/that is  ,130,000....to 150,000 men....under arms/ John spoke of the  12 tribes ....x12,000 choosen ones  in a  squared-off formation...a cube,  in the  NEW CITY OF GOD..../ THE IDEA THAT COMES TO MIND IS THAT OF  WANTING A FAIR  FIGHT... THE ONE THING THAT ROME WAS IN NO MOOD for GIVing ANYONE ANYTHING LIKE A CHANCE.
 

Ranking Officer:

THE FAVORED WAY OF MOVING TROOPS ABOUT THE FIELD OF CONFLICT WAS OF  COURSE ....THE SQUARE.   It  WAS STATED by ONE ROMAN OF HIGH RANK....UPON SEEING THE EVENTS OF THE CRUSIFICTION...."SURELY,THIS MAN WAS THE SON OF GOD."  This very man, being quite possibly the ranking man of the hour, a Centurion,...may well of had some influence upon  the disposition of the SON OF GOD.   The armor of someone was placed over  his  battered flesh; much of it indicating it's origins a man of  high rank.

One item that is very recognizable is a silvered-iron mask, possibly attached to a standard helmet of the time.  This can be see seen at JESUS' HIP, on the Shroud image, AND TURNED AT APPROX. 35 DEGREE ANGLE...DETAILS  ARE WITHIN 10 PERCENT OF THE FACIAL FEATURES OF OF Christ.  In size, it  may indicate an owner with fairly small features.

A fairly thick and round object covers the mask, from the upper lip down.  Most of the helmet is not seen at all, only the upper frontal area....where it formed a reflective surface and was in close contact with the image source, as it were....the firey  skin-aura.  The eyes, brow, nose, checks, are evident.
 

Soldiers following orders:

No doubt the murder of Christ by the Church elders and goverment was no more well recieved than the orders to kill civilians in many other wars, Kosovo included.   In the eyes of the even slightly enlightened officers, the best they could do and still keep there skin was to bury the Christ in their best  armor, as the honored dead in battle; indeed, Christ went to his fate showing no little bit of grit.  IN EFFECT,THEY WERE MAKING A  STATEMENT....AS ONLY  A SOLDIER COULD

OR...contra-wise, the images of Ceasar were allowed to even pursue Jesus, even unto and beyond the grave.  - his  visage, via the  Shroud  of the firey resurrection.    "jealousy is cruel as the grave; THE COALS THEREOF ARE COALS OF FIRE, WHICH BURN WITH THE MOST VEHEMENT FIRE..." - song of Solomon.

"...many waters can not quench love,neither can the floods drown it; IF A MAN WERE TO GIVE ALL THE SUBSTANCE OF HIS HOUSE FOR LOVE, IT WOULD UTTERLY BE CONTEMNED".

Left-hand, right-hand, not knowing the other:

The armor of one...somewhat believing soldier may have been the very means God used to preserve the  IMAGE OF A VERY HOLY PERSON...TO THESE TIMES VIA THE  STROBE-FLASH.   A related topic...the strange facts surrounding  what are best known as SPONTANEOUS HUMAN COMBUSTION; the facts thereof seem to defy the standard model of the universe; incineration yet little heat, ignition source, rarely to be found, a mystery of this and earlier times.
 

Items of a mobil army:

Other items that might have been in burial area// sword belt,18 inch dagger, horse-blanket, spear, spears...horse's face-mask, and connected neck armor...(coin-scale type) connectors thereof, straps  thereof  and  soldier's own armor (upper and lower body).  One place  some of these straps or belts are most obvious...,is the upper-back of Christ's bloodied head// the one side...seems to be about 4 inches wide belt, and rounded  there-like/ the other  end, buckle like?  at the other  side...,both running front to back...toward his cheeks...the buckle-like  device above the (RIGHT-side?) ear ,is  made  up of two 4 inch  pins...at end,...facing ear to ear...with  small flatenings...at  both ends of each.
 

A Nazerine of uncut hair:

THE HAIR ITSELF, IS GATHERED TOGETHER AND UNCUT; RUNNING DOWN THE  BACK,OVER THE  SPINE AND  COMING TO A POINT, 1/2 WAY DOWN HIS BACK.  IT WAS SEEMINGLY COMBED AND CENTERED...,THOUGH NOT WASHED.  AT THE BACK OF HIS NECK,  SOME LEATHER  DEVICE...TO  HOLD IT ALL IN PLACE.
 

His words:

AN IDEA OF  A HINT, as to the reality of his future burial?   "...and,you soldiers,
be content  of your wages..."  perhaps he knew the double meaning there contained;that the  wages of these men  was oft directly used....via heating and iron-punch...,as a type of  scale-covering(oft a life-saver,no doubt)     Job 39/   "...HE PAWETH THE VALLEY AND REJOICETH IN HIS STRENGTH: HE GOETH ON TO MEET THE ARMED MEN.  HE MOCKETH AT FEAR AND IS NOT AFFRIGHTENED, NEATHER TURNETH HE BACK FROM THE SWORD.THE QUIVER  ... R A T T L E T  H   A G A I N S T   H I M, the glittering spear and the shield".....who is "he"....if not the  Christ...,coming up the hill...to the armed camp of the Temple...of the Roman Military.

JUDAS SOLD OUT FOR A FEW COINS AND THEN KILLED HIMSELF; IS THE WESTERN WORLD FACING A CHOICE OF LIKE  MAMMON OR CHRIST  ?   whom to serve?  Again, about the hated empire and the dragon-like military machine thereof revelations".  AND THE GREAT DRAGON WAS CAST OUT, that old serpent  called the devil, and satan, which deceieveth the whole world: he was cast  out , and his angels (gods thereof) with him.  AND I HEARD A LOUD VOICE SAYING IN HEAVEN,  the  accuser of our brethren is cast down"
 

Armor types noted:

A few ideas as to standard Roman arms and armor, possibly seen over and around Jesus' flesh:

1) The SCALOPS:  used as a curved area of transition, from the  solid upper -body  coverings,down to the  hanging pteruges...of the legs (often had large cast  faces of medusa/demons.   leather face armor(horse-type)
----SEEN TO BE CENTERED ON THE CHEST AREA OF CHRIST...AND  COMING DOWN TO THE STOMACH AREA (THIS IS BEST SEEN IN STANDARD...HIGH CONTRAST PHOTOS//

2)  A LARGE RECTANGULAR ROMAN shield....AS VIEWED FROM THE INSIDE), which curves around the  body, WITH A CENTERED  HANDLE, WHICH  IS ATTACHED VERTICALY ;THE LOWER EDGE,BEING SEEN, RUNNING ACROSS THE  THIGH REGION, THE UPPER EDGE,AT THE NECK, showing up as a 1/2" ridge.

3) WARHORSE NECK ARMOR:  I have studied for quite some time  the chest area of the wounded savior; the look thereof is very muscular...as if he had been working in heavy lifting;this is indeed another distortion, due to the  ends of the  semi-detached  warhorse neck armor giving a deceptive look to the body.  The connecting devices thereof are easily compared with the literature  existant; the  mask, when worn, atached  at the top and at both  sides;these side pieces   end, running across the image area, from the top of both arm covering SHROUD PATCHES.

4) SHIELD HANDLE:  Centered between the inverted v -shaped eyes of said  face armor....may well be  the  shield  handle...10 inches tall, 2 inches wide// or..

5) perhaps a FALSE HORN...to mimic a rhino...,A TERROR WEAPON (AS THEY ALL WERE)  just below the height of his elbows,...what seems to be  a mouth...or death-head imagry....,ie---an exposed row of  teeth-like scales... that have no doubt puzzled generations of researchers.  I am unsure of the exact  item to point to  for this detail; there may  have been a  cloth or  belt drapped over this upper-stomach area, but are most probably bridle cords, giving the look of a lower-lip;  teeth-like items are probably  reworked bronze coins of the empire.
PERHAPS THE WARHORSE WAS MORE OF A TERROR WEAPON THAN MOST HISTORIAN KNOW...IF INDEED  THESE HORRIFIC LOOKS ARE STANDARD ISSUE (DEMON) IMAGRY.

(I'LL TRY TO GEY A PHOTO  OR DRAWING...ON-LINE TO SORT SOME OF THESE DETAILS OUT ///A BLOW-UP OF THIS AREA BETWEEN THE ELBOWS WOULD SEEM TO POINT TO THE  POSIBILITY OF A ROW OF SCALOPS(SMALL 3X4 INCH PLATES...IN A ROW...ATTACHED TOGETHER,SIDE BY SIDE,FORMING A  LARGE BELT...OF  IMAGED PLATES.

REVELATIONS 14/ "...INTO THE   GREAT WINEPRESS OF THE WRATH OF GOD.  AND THE WINEPRESS WAS TRODDEN WITHOUT THE CITY, AND BLOOD CAME OUT OF THE  WINEPRESS, EVEN UNTO THE  HORSE BRIDLES".  THE SWALLOWING UP OF THE EGYPTIAN CHARIOTS?

A strange passover:

During the Sabboth, the  Passover  was to be celebrated; all Jeruselem tried to maintain sanity....in the wake of the quaking...,the un-earthly darkness ...;there  lay Jesus under a weigh of arms,cloth,aloes ,leather ,silver,bronze, iron, ;under images of Rome..----rams, medusas, Ceasar, eagles...wolves.  1st Corinthians, chapter 10:  "...ye can not  drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils; YE CAN NOT BE PARTAKERS OF  THE LORD'S TABLE,  AND THE TABLE OF DEVILS.
 

Early Schism:

"JUST TO POINT OUT ONE RIFT IN THE EARLY CHURCH,...THE GENTILE MEN, WERE THEY TO UNDERGO ADULT CIRCUMCISION? THUS...AS IT WAS IN HITLER'S EUROPE...WHEN EXPOSED ...THEY WERE EASILY ROUNDED UP AND ELIMIMINATED.  Some founders of the Church disagreed greatly as to what extent the Faith of Moses...was to carry over...into the world  abroad.
 

Early Hindu text:

FROM THE RAMA-YANA  "...FROM UNDERGROUND ROSE FOUR TALL NAGAS, LIKE GREAT  COBRAS (......);they were all dressed in jewels and rippling siklver scales ,like the moonlight(reflective) on rthe ocean's waves at night (>>>>>>) the NAGAS DOVE BENEATH THE GROUND AND THE CREVICE CLOSED GENTLY OVER THEM(.......)WATCHING  SITA'S DECENT INTO THE EARTH.."///    "....that didn't bother  thunder-tooth a bit. HE JUST STOOD THERE  GRINNING WITYH HIS MOUTH AT HIS WAIST,ASND HIS EYES ON HIS BREAST,HEADLESS,ON STUMPY LEGS. THEN, HE WINKED ONE EYE  AT KING  SUGRIVA ,AND TOUCHED   HIS TOUTH. A STAIRCASE THAT SEEMED TO LEAD DOWN TO HELL ROSE OUT OF THE GROUND(>>>>)  T H E   W H O L E    T H I N G   DISAPPEARED...(UFO) BEFORE SUGRIVA COULD FOLLOW."

EVEN THOUGH, FOR THE MOST PART, THE VISAGE OF CHRIST CAN BE SEEN, IN NO FEW  PLACES, SATAN'S VISAGE OR IMPS (DEMON ARMOR OF THE LEGIONS) CAN JUST AS EASILY BE VIEWED (ONE BURN REPAIR  VERY MUCH HAS THE LOOK OF AN OWL....ANOTHER...A HORNED DEMON)
AS JESUS OVERCAME AND ASSENDED UP TO HEAVEN, SO MUST THE VICTORIOUS IN HIM TAKE UNTO THEMSELVES THE  REALITIES AND SUFFERING INVOLVED.  ATTACKS TO HIS VERY BEING; THE LEAD -TIPPED WHIP ....OPENING HIS SIDES AND BACK//AS  DID THE SHROUD PASS THROUGH THE FIRE (CHAMBERY, FRANCE), AND  OVER THE FLOOD (EDESSA)...,SO MUST THE STUDY THEREOF GO THROUGH SEEMING SETBACKS AND FALSE-STARTS    '....BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN,AND YET  BELIEVED..."///

"YE CAN NOT SERVE TWO MASTERS,YE CAN NOT SERVE GOD AND MAMMON...(riches)>>>   ..." IF YOU WONDER WHY I'D INCLUDE A HINDU TEXT...I would only say , for some little bit of perspective as to where Christ  falls into the specrtum of faiths and of the Holy.Magic is in no short supply in the Books of the Exodus; AARON'S ROD....,THE RED SEA, RIVER OF BLOOD,.../COMPARE WITH RAMA'S BRIDGE ,THE REVIVAL OF THE DYING ,IN ONE CASE BY THE SERPENT OF BRASS...IN THE GREAT WILDERNESS, WAS TO BE LIFTED UP.  In the Ramayana, a mountain is lifted up, in-total  And what of the blue-skinned KHRISHNA,...WAS IT NOT  DISCOVERED THAT WITHIN HIS VERY MOUTH...WAS ...all of creation...,worlds without number//  "...like as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the son of man be lifted up (on the cross)..."
 

Comparative Burials:

AN IDEA...THE BELT OVER THE  LOWER CHEST OF  JESUS,... PERHAPS IT IS A SINCH-STRAP...OF SOME SORT///IF YOU THINK MY INNUMERATION OF POSSIBLE TOMB ITEMS IS A BIT MUTCH...STUDY THE LAYERS OF COVERINGS FOUND AT TUTANKAMON'S BURIAL!;...DAGGER,MASKS,GOLD OF ALL SORTS OF SHAPES, AN EAGLE OVER-SPREADING HIS CHEST,BINDINGS,FLOWERS,  DOZENS OF ITEMS;AT THE TIME EGYPT JUST ANOTHER PROVENCE OF THE EMPIRE...AND  AS YET...IT'S Pyramid's SMOOTH CASING STONES... were  LARGELY INTACT.

IF INDEED (ISSA, CHRIST, HOMESHEA-YESHUA...the WOMAN'S SEED...), if he was at all well travelled would have perhaps have visited the hiding place of the Lost Ark...on the upper Nile (as some  have placed it); or KASHMIRE, other areas of the near east...or even  his father's home...,hanging in the heavens  for all to see...,hiding in plain-sight heaven and hell are states of mind...,and being such are always with  us;yet also, they are homeworlds...they are seperated from us by a very thin veil...we all call reality,...the  3-D world that seems  so solid, yet is not,as manifested by such acts as assention ,walking on the sea, bio-location, over-night  healings. "....From whence he is, I know not, all I know is that....whereas I was blind, now I see."
