Sworn To Secrecy:
A Factual Approach to the Supernatural.

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.

THE MAN CLOTHED IN LINEN:

We live in interesting times, on the frontiers of explicit understanding. More than 2,500 years ago, the 'Man Clothed in Linen' gave the prophet Daniel a series of numbers: 1290, 1335 and 45. Until now, their interpretation has remained a mystery.

This book was written to inform readers that our world is about to face a life-changing event according to Biblical prophecy. Newly discovered mathematical phenomena on the subject have laid dormant for more than 2,500 years in the Hebrew text of the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament.

The numerical design of the 1290, 1335 and 45 were found to disclose the end-of-the-age message by the Man Clothed In Linen. His prophetic numbers were found to integrate with the numeric pattern identified with the first advent of Jesus Christ! Called the Messianic 'footprint', it provides a numeric pattern of personal data in respect of the life and mission of Christ, the Redeemer. The resulting formulae identify the generation that will see in a new chapter in the history of humanity and concurs with Jesus's well documented discourse concerning the 'signs of the times' at his second coming.

A highlight of the cumulative introduction of topics of interest will enable the reader to appraise the moment in time when human solutions fall short to resolve an existential crisis. It shows that natural life is frail and of short duration from the perspective of eternity.

Yet, a pending crisis arouses an inward hope for salvation, a deserved continuation in a safe world transformed into a state of perfection. This expectation will be sustained in the coming new world structure to last a thousand years when history enters a multi-dimensional phase. Uncertainty and speculation are lifted somewhat by recent well-attested evidence of extra-dimensional realities operating in the global theater right now.

Sadly, at the end of the 7th millennium on the Hebrew calendar, evil forces will seek to sabotage the then prevailing conditions of peace and security. Their extermination marks the close of history on this planet.

What happens next is disclosed in the final pages of this book.
