Jeremiah Johnston: “The NEW Shroud of Turin Evidence Is Not What You Think!”

They tested the blood.

And again, if you were a forger, you’d just use animal blood, right? But the blood comes back human.

Guess what the blood type is? Type AB.

Less than 3% of the world’s population has type AB blood, and it’s found primarily in the land of Israel.

Glenn Beck recently dropped a bombshell episode on the Shroud, and the details are not what you’ve heard before.

From AI recreations to a million-dollar challenge that no one can solve, the episode is full of surprises.

In this video, I reveal everything—including why the evidence has been suppressed for so long and the newest piece of evidence that scholars just unveiled.

You’re not going to want to miss this.

Skeptics dismissed the Shroud of Turin, calling it a medieval forgery for years.

But new evidence is turning heads.

The Shroud, a 14-foot linen cloth, is believed to have been used by Joseph of Arimathea for Jesus’s burial.

It has a rare, pricey herringbone weaving that’s fit for royalty.

Unlike ordinary burial cloths, even with a $1 million reward at stake, no one has been able to accurately replicate its distinctive features.

Historical and Modern Studies: The Search for Authenticity

Historical records and art connect the Shroud to ancient times long before it was housed in Turin.

Coins and paintings feature strikingly similar images of Jesus’s face.

He is always shown as a bearded, powerful man in early Christian art, rather than the more modest representations found in medieval art.

Additionally, AI is assisting researchers in merging historical data with modern technology to produce a picture of Jesus that is more accurate than before.

Could this historic relic serve as the final bridge between science, religion, and history? By taking that icon and the image of the Shroud, AI produced what many believe is the closest image of Jesus’s face—a Semitic man from the land of Israel, not the effeminate Jesus of medieval Christian art.

The Scientific Journey: How We Came to Know Jesus’s Face

Top scientists from 63 different academic fields have devoted over 500,000 hours to studying this relic—half a million hours.

That’s right.

And you know what? How this image appears on the Shroud of Turin is still a mystery to them.

In 1988, three laboratories analyzed a small fragment of the Shroud, about the size of a little finger.

They said it was fake, dating it to between 1260 and 1380.

Boom.

Headlines everywhere: The Shroud is fake.

But wait—where exactly was that sample taken from? It was from the worst possible spot.

If you’re looking at the Shroud, it was from the infamous corner on the upper right.

The original Shroud Study Team (STURP) knew something was wrong.

After a fire in the 1500s, nuns repaired this corner using a method that invisibly wove cotton into the original linen.

The labs didn’t test the original linen—they tested those patched fibers.

Naturally, the results were inaccurate.

Despite this, the headlines screamed, “Forgery!” One of the leading scientists on the Shroud research team, Barry Schwarz, began as a skeptic and an atheist.

A Jewish atheist, no less.

However, his entire viewpoint changed when he discovered that the sample used for the infamous 1988 carbon dating was taken from a patched area.

Over time, this skeptic became a believer—not just in the authenticity of the Shroud but in Christianity as a whole.

Barry Schwarz also served as the study’s official documenting photographer.

Scientists had direct access to the Shroud for only 5 days in history, a total of 120 hours.

During that limited time, Barry took a photograph of the Shroud.

The amazing thing is that when you flip the image on a phone or camera, the weak sepia-tone image of the crucified man suddenly springs to life.

The negative reveals a sharp, detailed, almost unreal image.

The Science Behind the Shroud’s Image

Take a moment to think.

If someone had fabricated this in the past, why would they make it so faint that it looks like a smudgy sheet until modern technologies uncover its details? Am I even seeing a face here? You would ask yourself as you stared.

But here is where things get really crazy.

A criminologist spent 5 years studying all of the pollen spores on the Shroud of Turin.

And you would think—okay, if this is a forgery, you’re going to find pollen, you’re going to find all kinds of things from plant life in Europe.

What does he find? The majority of the pollen found blooms in Jerusalem.

And it doesn’t bloom year-round.

It only blooms around the springtime—during Passover.

According to historical accounts, Jesus was crucified in the spring of 33 AD on April 3rd.

Additionally, two-thirds of the pollen matches Jerusalem plants from that particular season.

How could a forger even know that? How was it possible for someone to fabricate something so specific centuries ago?

The Shroud: A Test of Faith and History

The Shroud of Turin isn’t just the most researched artifact from antiquity.

It’s the most scrutinized relic ever, and there’s not a close second.

The Shroud of Turin rarely comes up when discussing the resurrection, even at advanced levels of academic research.

It is often ignored or even mocked.

Bible experts reject it.

Scientists suppress it.

The British Museum, which is associated with the labs that performed the carbon-14 dating, kept the raw data secret for more than 20 years.

It took a determined French lawyer who trusted the Shroud’s authenticity to finally force them to make it public.

And you know what? According to the raw data, the testing sample was tainted.

Or to put it simply, poisoned.

Why? What is the driving force?

The Lance Wound and Post-Mortem Blood

Examine John 11.

Even when Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead, some people don’t trust him.

Even with Lazarus, who was starting to decay, standing right in front of them, they didn’t believe it.

No evidence is ever sufficient for some people.

But breaking news: there are now other methods to ascertain the age of the Shroud of Turin besides carbon dating.

Here comes Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering (WEX).

It’s revolutionary.

Italian researchers compared the Shroud to another burial fabric from Masada, the last stand against Titus, which was dated to AD 70.

By analyzing the degradation of the Shroud’s fibers, they found evidence of 2,000 years of wear and tear—not 700 years, as skeptics once asserted.

Some might ask, “Can linen even last that long?” Yes.

There are linen garments much older than the Shroud, like the Taran dress, which is over 3,000 years old.

In the right circumstances, linen is extremely durable.

The Blood of Christ: Type AB and Its Significance

Let’s now discuss the blood.

You can find points of it everywhere—50 abrasions, 372 whip scars from a Roman flagrum, and even traces of the crown of thorns can be seen on the Shroud.

After analysis, scientists such as hematologist Alan Adler confirmed that it was human blood.

What’s more, it’s type AB—a rare blood type mostly found in Israel, and fewer than 3% of the global population has it.

Don’t believe the naysayers who say that animal blood may have been used by a forger.

This is male blood with human chromosomes.

This shows something significant: the data supports the biblical portrayal of Jesus, fully God, fully man.

You may see the lance wound in Jesus’s side if you examine the Shroud closely.

It’s right there, and it’s significant.

Guess what happened when they tested the blood from the wound? It’s post-mortem blood.

This type of blood originates after a person has passed away.

So, if you’re faking this, you’d need to kill someone, then somehow get post-mortem blood and place it perfectly on the Shroud.

Quite a tall order, wouldn’t you say?

Conclusion: The Shroud’s Unsolved Mysteries and Evidence

The Shroud of Turin continues to defy explanation, challenging historical, scientific, and theological assumptions.

New evidence—from AI reconstructions of Jesus’s face to revolutionary scientific analysis of the Shroud’s materials—suggests that it may indeed be the authentic burial cloth of Christ.

As more data emerges, the mystery surrounding this relic only deepens, inviting both believers and skeptics to reexamine the role it plays in understanding the resurrection and the life of Jesus Christ.
