Proverbs 8:34-36 Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts. For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh. But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.” Psalm 84: 11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly. 12 Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you. 1 John 5:5 Now who is the one overcoming the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

UPDATE 4/August/2016. Our Search For The Tomb of Jesus and The Great Stone Video Climbs over 200,000 Views.


Our film: Our Search for the Tomb of Jesus has jumped to over 200,000 views on YouTube which is greatly encouraging.

Some years ago, on another film of ours, Sodom and Gomorrah, I was left this comment by a viewer:

"God always chooses 'nobodies' - men and women who do not have power, wealth, titles or statuses - to reveal and share the truth. Nice video."

Though this was aimed at our Sodom and Gomorrah film the comment stands true for Our Search for the Tomb of Jesus film.

We were nobodies attempting to discover the Tomb of Jesus, but God worked through us to help us to produce this film and share the news of Jesus.

As God worked through David, the lowly shepherd boy in 1 Samuel 16 who went on to sly the giant Goliath and was rewarded by becoming the King of Israel, our struggles may seem monumental, but with the help of God, we can conquer them.

With open minds, this story should encourage us to be happy in our lives, to help us to ignore those who try to discourage us and ignore our gifts and talents.

After all, serving God with all of your heart is more important than what you can 'do' for Him! Whether we are a scientist, archaeologist, teacher, preacher or just a man on the street, God can use us for His glory.

The way may be paved with obstacles and enemies, but if we remain steadfast in our love for God, He will build us up like He did with David so that we may conquer even the greatest obstacles!

As a nobody who had the wonderful opportunity of travelling to Israel, 
ABRAHAMS TOMB
Abrahams Tomb.

I wondered at the disbelief that many of my crew had as we set out. I wondered what we would find and whether God would work through us to share our findings.

As it is written in Matthew 7:7, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."  Throughout our time in Israel looking for the Tomb of Jesus, there were many times when we were seeking and asking. It is through God's grace that we were able to bring you this film with our findings.

I thank God and stand in amazement at how he has used our work to bless others and to raise it to a level of influence for His Kingdom. I feel truly humbled at what he can do with a little, and like with the loaves and fishes, multiply it to feed the thousands.

Thank you Lord for all you have done and may this story encourage others to step out in faith for you.

Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? Jeremiah 32:27.

UPDATE 4/August/2016.
I am returning back to the Holy land very soon after I have learned how to operate my new drone to take 4 K footage and photos and share with you more new evidence proving this is indeed the GREAT Stone from the Tomb of Jesus Christ cut and made by Joseph of Arimathaea.








Thank you for reading this article, and may God bless those who seek him, in Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Our Search for the Tomb of Jesus.


Is the Garden Tomb, the Tomb of Jesus?

 Abrahams Tomb.


Friday, 4 September 2015

New research by others confirm the GREAT STONE of Mark 16:4, at Mount Nebo.

The GREAT STONE of Mark 16:4, at Mount Nebo.

Is it God's desire for the world to know, the GREAT STONE at Mount Nebo was preserved by Him, available for ALL to see, reminding the world, He woke the guards up who were guarding the body of Jesus in Joseph of Arimathaea's tomb, after they thought they were being clever, by placing a great chain attached to a seal on each side of the GREAT STONE. 
GREAT STONE SEALING THE TOMB.

GREAT STONE SEALING THE TOMB.

God almighty shocked the guards from their lovely sleep with a shocking surprise, with a great earthquake,and sent from heaven a mighty angel, who's countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow, and by the blink of an eye, he broke open the seal's and rolled open the GREAT STONE, to reveal to the whole world, the greatest day still in human history, that caused the guards to became as dead men.

Did God preserve the GREAT STONE at Mount Nebo to continually remind a sleeping, unbelieving world He has raised our King Jesus from the dead?
Is the GREAT STONE there to remind ALL about this GREAT EVENT, which was the missing link, no longer missing, which now proves the true tomb of Jesus.
The Real GREAT STONE at the tomb.

The Real GREAT STONE at the tomb.

Has God fallen asleep on a cloud and forgotten about us, as some seem to think?
The GREAT STONE at Mount Nebo seems to prove this is not the case. 

The Catholic Christians at Mount Nebo guard the GREAT STONE like a treasure and yet they do not know why, or where it comes from, as they tell me.
Are they hiding something, by keeping this GREAT STONE, out the way?

It's  interesting to note. 
I find it interesting to find there always seems to be a second witnesses proving a place or article to be genuine

1. Research and discoveries by born again Christians Penny and Jim  Discovered The Split Rock as told in Exodus 17:5.  Which   confirms the REAL Mount Sinai in Arabia as genuine.
2. We have the  Sudarium  of Oviedo,  which seems to  confirm  with the Shroud of Turin as  genuine.
3. And we have this GREAT STONE which fits  only  one tomb in the  world,  as perfect as a  glove. The Garden Tomb.
Is God telling us something to validate the Bible?

I don't know for sure, if this was God 's intention, to preserve the GREAT STONE, for this purpose, in the last days, but what I do know, is there are other people coming forward with their new and interesting research confirming this is the actual GREAT STONE as told in Mark 16:4, built and Owned By Joseph of Arimathaea.

Last week I told you about the research of Dr. Howard Davis.
In which Dr. Howard took us back 2000 years by wonderfully explaining this amazing event, where the two women arriving at the tomb after 3 days from Jesus being burred, and had to gaze upwards in surprise at the [great] height of the [circular] stone.

Dr. Howard also confirmed the disciple of Jesus, Mark, was a detailed writer who confirmed the GREAT stone was no usual size stone, but one of a kind, and a unique size, a GREAT STONE never known to be used on any other tomb in the world.

This week I received another email from João Oliveira .
Who has made his own discovery on the GREAT STONE at Mount Nebo.
I did not know him, until he sent this email below, which I would like to share with you.

I have also added another updated email sent to me from Dr. Howard Davis at the end.

In the mean time if you have any new and interesting info regarding the GREAT STONE at Mount Nebo, please do let me know, and I will share it to my subscribers all over the world.

And just to update you, I am also making a new part 3 film with brand new evidence supporting the Garden Tomb and this GREAT STONE, when I will be returning to do some more research in the Holy land, so keep watch, as you become more inspired by the accuracy and the proof of the Gospels.
Thank you and God bless you.

Yes Simon, I also believe it is the GREAT stone, and it is amazing that you found the picture of the door on the net!!!!! I went to google maps, to Mount Nebo in Jordan,   

and they link  up the photos taken at the site, to my surprise I started to worry that I could not find the door!!!! eventually in photo 20 or something, I saw somebody next to the door.   
It is totally overlooked! not many people take notice of it, in an official Jordanian tourist site it does not feature either.   

I will gladly do the drawings (before Monday they will be done), I hope I do not infringe any copyright using those two stills I sent.   

I think that if we use the left of the channel as reference, instead of the right, it becomes very easy to see what size the door should be, by looking at another tomb that has a door.   
Once I do the picture, i think this will be clear.
God Bless 
João 

Diameter 1 /length of channel 1   =  diameter 2 / length of channel 2 this equality only holds because the GREAT stone's diameter is correct   in other words, the proportions between GREAT stone's diameter and the existing channel length to the left of the door   are identical to   the same proportions used elsewhere.  
This picture is of a typical tomb in the Holy Land; between four and five feet in diameter: a typical stone.

This picture is of a typical tomb in the Holy Land; between four and five feet in diameter: a typical stone.


This is the Great Stone at Mount Nebo and is the only one on this planet.

Orally it is fair to say that the proportions of the diameter of the GREAT stone  

and the length of the channel are consistent with the proportions of the diameter  
of other tomb doors and their respective channels.  
God bless

Here is an expanded translation based on the Greek in Mark 16:4:


 "And [the two women] having gazed upwards in surprise at the [great] height of the [circular] stone they were viewing  that this very heavy [implied in the Gk.-it was large but also very weighty] extremely gigantic in magnitude stone was [actually] rolled away." 


Or "As the two women were walking [up to the tomb] they had to really stretch to look up very high to even see the height of the ponderous extremely massive in magnitude stone to see that it was actually rolled away."   (Hyper expanded based on Greek)


The idea presented by Mark -the writer of particular "details" as some called him -was this round stone was like no other stone covering the door to a memorial tomb at that time-it was extremely gigantic in magnitude (megas) circumference and very heavy.  


Where it says rolled away from is from the Greek "cut out"  from the bottom of the incline or track for the large stone just as Simon shows us in his epic video!  So two hidden features or details from Mark again-it was easier to close than to open due to an incline or constructed trough or slot and it was "cut out" from  stone at the bottom where the huge stone would roll. 


He had to use certain Greek words to convey this. The word I translate as "extremely"(spodra) is also "vehement "in Greek conveying very forceful emotion; here the word in context  refers to the over sized stone! He pulled out all stops under inspiration to show the reader just how heavy and large in circumference this stone was.


I noted something else. Megas or great in the English Bible in our verse can mean enormous in height ! Rich and influential Joseph wanted to really secure his tomb, with a magnificent massive stone and perhaps to display his great wealth in those days. This was common. He was a 'good man' and 'waiting for the kingdom of God.' He was as we know mentioned in prophecy Isa.53:9. I  t's a rich  [  man-Joseph ] in Hebrew. 

The word 'laid' is "appoint in Heb."   Joseph 'appointed' Jesus to his own tomb and Isaiah tells us why hundreds of years before this event- "Because He [Jesus] had done no violence,Nor was any deceit in His mouth."

After all Joseph of Armimathea  had created and planned as well as maintained with his own gardener a spacious beautiful garden too! That alone was expansive as well as the funds to create and maintain the garden. 


The symbolism in all this is not missed. Adam fell in a garden. Jesus was buried because of the fall in a garden area. He probably prayed and restorted to this same garden in the days of His ministry!    

Jesus is called the "Stone" that the builders rejected. The stone in the garden tomb was massive and great as He is-with His height reaching into the heavens! He was rich while in heaven ,but as it says He became poor for our sakes. Joseph was rich and prominent, but gave up his spacious tomb that had cost him so much in time, money and labor, including hand chiseled by craftsmen a huge round stone such as was not done up until then.
The stone was circular not a square plug push in/out stone as some were at that time with round stones covering very prominent peoples tombs then. Who is more prominent than Jesus? A circle was symbolic of eternity and also with no beginning or end as we see in Jesus!

Again, congratulations on your massive discovery Simon!!! I have always wondered where that gigantic (megas) stone went and God led you in these last days to it! A very great blessing was bestowed on you from our Lord! 

Again, if I can help with my knowledge of Hebrew and Greek or in any way please ask. It would be a great honor!

Blessings,



Dr.Howard.

 UPDATE.
By Dr Howard.

 Simon,
Lots of work so in segments with grave clothes and position next. Still need to check on some words which takes time and thought and checking a multiple references ,etc.

So here's this one:
In John 20:1 it literally says:

"But on one day of the Sabbaths[Sunday first day of the week] Mary (the) Magdalene is coming early when it is yet  dark to the memorial tomb and is looking at the stone HAVING BEEN LIFTED OUT [ek Greek out of i. e, the channel]..."

I believe- and this startled me your work caused me to examine this in amazing detail- based on the Greek words it says the stone was not rolled back, but was lifted up (ermenon) and away from Greek prep. ek out of so and out of the channel !  Lifted up we get our work air from this Greek word. It is translated in various ways, but means lifted upwards even when Jesus 'lifted his eyes' up to heaven. Now with that ek. it is saying the massive stone was lifted OUT and UP from that stone channel. I believe an angel did his. It shows the power of God in spite of what mighty Rome does by 'sealing' the tomb door way just one of God's angels can grasp a huge multi ton stone  lift it up and remove it out of the track or channel and move it to the side where Mary walks up to see the site of the stone having been removed.

John gives us signs (semions) with dual miraculous elements. Wals on water gets in boat boat is at the shore in an instant. Water into wine but well aged Gk;feeds themuliitpute but fish an brask coked!Etc.Same here. He is showing or focuses in his 'scroll' Jesus is God in the flesh.
Not only was this immense stone removed, but it was taken up and out of the track in the air and laid aside by an angel of God.

I flashed on that 'strong' angel in Revelation 18:21"

Remember the same author John as in Jn.20:1  "And LIFTED  UP [same Greek word in Jn. 20:1] one powerful angel a stone as it were a massive [megas again!] millstone[belonging to a mill] and he hurled   it with violent force into the sea [Mediterrian ?]  thus with great rushing speed will Babylon the great [megas] city will never[Gk. a double negative not -not!] be found again."

So we see another very strong angle pick up or lifted up a massive stone and move it -in this case into the sea!

Now is it possible -and just thinking out loud no set view here- that a strong angel eventually easily (before Rome invaded?) lifted the stone taking it to the Mt. Nebo area where Moses a type of Christ died (Deut.18: 15;18 ; Jn. 4 :25: 8 :28; Jn.1:21 -"the Prophet' of Deut.18:15:18! ;Matt 16 :14; Jude 9!) and left it there ( in a cave?)  knowing it would be discovered and later used as a 'gate stone'  then put out on display many years later with it's history obscured for another Simon in these last days to find ?!  Dan.12:4 b "increased"- to shoot an arrow -'knowledge' in the last days is swift or fast!)
This would keep it safe from Roman invaders, including Muslims, and others, etc.
But, we know they moved large stones in those days with cart and oxen too.

Will try and get info about your last question.

We Belong To Christ, and We Have A Receipt to Prove it!

The Shroud of Turin an Enduring Mystery. Part 5 End.


Dear friends, I am pleased to reach the end of this amazing adventure and Series. 

Watching and re editing Raymond J. Schneider research on the Shroud of Turin has led me to my own discovery, a discovery of believing we may think we know it all, until we open our hearts and listen to others, we find others know a lot more, and what we know was very small.

This is an astonishing story, full of twist's and turns, and a heroic adventure going back 2000 years to the ancient histories and mysteries of God/Jesus, His disciples and Holy Bible, where we looked at a treasure which has immense religious, political and historical importance and has uncovered an element of surprise, from carbon dating proving the Shroud was a great hoax,
Shroud of Turin is a hoax.
to countless and brilliant investigation's by the best experts, researchers and scientist in history, proving the carbon dating of the Shroud, mistaken, notoriously inaccurate and flawed.
Now with extremely, astonishing scientific papers, evidence and articles confirming and evaluating the scientific, academic and professional work taking us on a  roller coaster  ride,  going right back to where Jesus spent His last hours at His crucifixion death and resurrection.
 Jesus on the cross from the gospel of John film.
Jesus on the cross. From the gospel of John film. 

We Followed Raymond back to a concealed mystery which emerged from its secret hiding places.

And yet there are still secrets not yet discovered, and it all started at Golgotha, by an extremely famous person, from an honourable counsellor, who was a rich man and secret disciple of Jesus who is now the famous Joseph of Arimathaea.

Joseph of Arimathaea became the founder of the greatest mysteries and most priceless treasure's in the world, the burial cloths that covered the body of Jesus, and the GREAT STONE that sealed our King in the rich man's tomb.

Including the popular legend of  keeping and being responsible for the Holy Grail, with people still searching, which connect's him to a traditional popular historical story and site, the founder of the earliest Christian church, known as the famous Glastonbury abbey in the UK.

Raymond showed us the overwhelming evidence, where Joseph took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in fine linen and laid it in his own new tomb cut out of rock.
Joseph of Arimathaea proved to be a true Samaritan who assisted and created the most debatable and controversial artefacts known in world history, which many now believe is, The Shroud of Turin and The Sudarium of Oviedo .

We went over sea's, mountains, and terrain, following Ray as he showed us the history of the Shroud and the forensic medical science.

We looked at what many believe is the very face of Jesus, God's actual real perfect blood, the torture of the forty lashes, the scars and pierced body, and the painful puncture wounds from the crown of thorns.

We saw the humiliation Jesus patiently and humbly endured by the Romans, who punched and bruised His swollen cheekbones.
His agony from the blood shed of His pierced hands and feet, that bears silent witness to the horror of the cross. 
That bears the spear wound in His side, and yes, the ultimate triumph of the Resurrection of Jesus (Yeshua) meaning Salvation.
God's supernatural love is clearly preserved like a fossil in a time capsule, 'for all humans' to gain faith and have no excuse not to believe and follow Jesus and be saved.
Our kind creator has beautiful, gracefully, elegantly, sufficiently, clearly, preserved and revealed to all believers, the rock solid evidence for those who doubt the Christian faith.

Seek and you will find said Jesus, and when we do we truly find the Christian faith is no blind faith, thanks be to God who has lovingly provided 'real scientific fact's' proving and confirming every single word recorded in the Gospels over 2000 years ago is a matter of actual certainty, in deed, truthful and truly reliable.

The most important time in history, when God Himself became the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, who so bravely, voluntary and amazingly, humbly gave His life to buy our soul's and grant us eternal life, when we believe and follow, was all recorded supernaturally as a 3 D hologram. All because: God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:8 - 9. The topographical 3 d image of the Shroud created by the VP-8 computer ©1978 Barrie M.

Said by a group of 26 scientists, 'could not be reproduced' with the best applications machinery and devices ever developed by scientific knowledge in world history.
Jesus said: unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possibleMatthew 19:26.

We followed Ray through his course divided into five sessions; 1) Introduction, 2) Science, 3) History, 4) Sceptics & Images, 5) Integration & Conclusions.

And I have to say, while editing the last part 5, it truly touched my heart, Ray talked about Concept Four, while Ray was at a Russ Breault conference, Russ explained about, 
The Proof of Purchase.

(See slide below)
The Shroud of Turin an Enduring Mystery part 5.

My Conclusions.
As The Great Stone at Mount Nebo overlooking the promised land is a testimony by God Almighty reminding all mankind that he sent from heaven an angel to roll away the stone, so is, The Shroud of Turin, truly a visible witness to God's word and love in His Holy Bible, signifying that the debt was fully paid, and Yeshua is now legally discharged, and So are those who believe and follow him. 
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 

I now believe, The Shroud of Turin,
 is no longer an Enduring Mystery.
 The End. 

I am Simon Brown. 
May God bless you.
