The reflection in the author's sunglasses depicts the opening of the Western Gate of the Citadel in Sanliurfa, which in recent years has been completely sealed up for yet unknown reasons.
Note the white stone block (in the reflection) at the foot of the entrance...its importance is discussed in the article.

The KERAMION
In his article, "FACE of the GOD-Man", Dayvault describes the 2002 rediscovery of a small mosaic tile which contains significant implications. The Image on the mosaic is derived from the Face Image on the Shroud of Turin, and subsequently has been determined to be the prototypic model of numerous early (c. AD1st-6th Centuries) classical Sacred Artistic depictions of Jesus Christ throughout the ancient world. This small mosaic, called the ISA Tile, has also been determined by Dayvault to be the historical Keramion which hung over the Western Gate of the Citadel in ancient Edessa, (now-Şanliurfa, Turkey). It was displayed there reportedly to commemorate the entrance through which St. Thaddaeus, the likely transporter of the unique cloth, (the "Image of Edessa", considered by many to be the Shroud), entered to see King Abgar V during AD1st Century. The forensic, circumstantial, documentary and historical associations of the ISA Tile with numerous, ancient classical depictions of Jesus Christ, and derived from the Shroud, in Dayvault's opinion, strongly confirm the authenticity of the Shroud as the actual AD1st Century burial cloth of Jesus Christ. |
*PLEASE NOTE*—“ISA Tile”—Clarification:
The following clarification is provided for a more precise understanding of the above-described "ISA Mosaic Tile."
Yehovah (Old Testament Name of God) of the Christian and Jewish faiths IS the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. However, the moon-god worshiped by the Islamic faith IS NOT the same as Yehovah God, the Creator of the Universe. Further, it is strongly emphasized that the name of the Muslim prophet, Isa, or jesus, DOES NOT represent the same-named Second Person of the Christian faith, Jesus Christ. The Muslim prophet, Isa, or jesus, IS NOT the same as Jesus Christ, or Yeshua (Hebrew Name of Jesus), the Messiah, the Triune Savior and Son of Father Yehovah. The Muslim moon-god, All-h, had no son.
However, for clarification purposes of the title of the mosaic tile, the name, “ISA, ISA", was loudly exclaimed by the Muslim curator at the very moment I discovered the mosaic in the museum depots of the Şanliurfa (Turkey) Archaeological Museum in May 2002. As soon as my flashlight beam shone across its surface, I immediately recognized the Facial Image of the mosaic as having derived from the Shroud of Turin, the traditional burial cloth of Jesus Christ, and which I have studied since 1973. Subsequent research concluded forensically that the "ISA Tile", as called, had served as the prototypic model for numerous, ancient classical depictions of Jesus Christ, as present throughout the Old World. The identifications were based on the presence of unique, individual characteristics present on both images, as well as other supporting factors. Most of the compared depictions included a “Christogram”, or inscription, e.g., “IC~XC”, specifically identifying the subject as Jesus Christ!
Therefore, the accurately expressed title during the momentous discovery, “ISA Tile”, explicitly and exclusively refers to what I saw and what is actually depicted on the mosaic; and that is, the FACIAL Image of the Risen JESUS CHRIST, Yeshua HaMessiach, Son of Father Yehovah GOD, of the Christian faith! HALLELUYAH!
God so loved the world that He gave His only son, Jesus, to die for our sins. Through His grace and by our faith and belief in Him, we shall have eternal life with Him. His Love is everlasting. Jesus Christ, our only Hope, openly invites people of ALL faiths, or none, to come to Him in sincere repentance and ask Him into their lives. "Thomas said to him, 'Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"(John 14:5-6-NIV). Make a personal decision for Him today, before it is too late! Your eternal destiny depends on it!
