VIDEO: REAL FACE OF JESUS - SHROUD OF TURIN

**VIDEO BELOW COMES WITH SPOILER ALERT** This documentary first aired on the History channel on March 30th. I made a point to watch it. I was skeptical of how this network would portray the Shroud but was not only pleasantly surprised in that regard but my expectations were blown away. Using the modern technology of 3D computer software, the researchers discovered that within the two dimensional linen exists a three dimensional image.

Throughout the documentary, the suspense builds as you know the ending will contain the actual face of the Son of Yahweh. If you plan on watching the 2nd or 3rd airing of the program on Saturday, April 3rd at 8pm EST or Sunday April 4th at 5pm EST, consider yourself warned about the one minute clip below that shows the transformation. That said, one thing I will divulge - and this was an incredibly powerful moment - is that the expression of the head researcher on this project, Ray Downing, appeared to be captured as he watched the fruits of his labor for the first time - as the actual Face on the Shroud comes to life.

However, I personally found the most awe-inspiring part of the documentary to involve something other than the very climactic ending. Without giving it away, I will say it involves the Gospel of John, Chapter 20, Verse 7:
7 But the burial napkin (kerchief) which had been around Jesus' head, was not lying with the other linen cloths, but was [still] [a]rolled up (wrapped round and round) in a place by itself.
If you decide to watch one of the re-airings, be sure to pay particularly close attention when this comes up. Utterly mind-blowing.

SPOILER ALERT
