BACK COVER NOTES

Freemasonry's darkest secret

The Second Messiah reveals that the Turin Shroud, far from being

an icon of the established church, provides scientific evidence of

an alternative, hidden history of Western civilisation and the secret

societies that have controlled it. For seven and a half centuries a

piece of cloth was venerated because it bore the image of the

crucified Christ, but in 1988 results of carbon dating showed that

the fabric could not pre-date 12.60. Now new evidence

conclusively proves that it h not a take... yet neither is it the image

of Jesus Christ.

In solving the riddle of the shroud this book unravels a far deeper

mystery, how this medieval artefact links directly both to Jesus and

the man believed to he Jesus's successor. The guardians of this

great secret tried hard to hide it from the world and even their own

members. But they failed to destroy the evidence,,, hidden in

abandoned rituals of Freemasonry.

To my wife and our three children.
