#293 Jeremiah Johnston - Codex Vaticanus, Book of Enoch and the Resurrection of Jesus

“I wanted to make it clear that this idea of forgiving debts, this idea of free enterprise, these ideals that built Western civilization come from one event horizon, the physical, bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. That message rehumanized humanity, ideas of loving your enemies, forgiving debts that didn't come from Marxism, that didn't come from socialism.”

“He said, I want you to bring the gospel and the evidence and the receipts for the Resurrection to Davos. And so Gillian Tett, editor of Financial Times, provost of King's College, Cambridge University, interviewed me at USA House with a Washington Post-sponsored session, if you can believe that. It was shocking to me.”

“What you're holding in your hand is a replica of the spear that pierced our Lord's ribs through rib five and six. John's Gospel accurately records that blood and water spewed out. And the signature of that wound I just showed you is on the Shroud of Turin. You can actually see it; it almost looks like a figure eight blood pool.”

“I had to just keep following truth because I had more demonic spiritual warfare on me that week than I've ever had. I gave three presentations at WEF and could not wait to get home. It was just the weight of understanding that this is the first time in 55 years Jesus has ever been mentioned at the World Economic Forum.”

“What rises and falls, the stakes of if Jesus rose from the grave is the greatest X factor the world has ever known. This is not some kind of religious exercise we're doing just because it's a holiday and it's Easter. Everyone needs the gospel, and no one is beyond God's reach.”
