TESTIMONY: Last Testament of Jesus Christ: Declared the Son of God with Power by His Resurrection - Romans 1:4

By Arlin Ewald Nusbaum

The book begins with Arlin’s tour of Israel with Our Lord as his personal guide. What was recorded in his previous title “Land of the Master” has been expanded with additional testimonies as mentioned below.

On his first night, he slept on the Mount of Olives, and from there, the Lord took him through the old city streets to the Garden Tomb on Good Friday. In the garden, he witnessed how Our Lord came forth from the tomb. Together, they traveled north to Nazareth and the areas surrounding the Sea of Galilee. Arlin saw the correct location of the Mount of Transfiguration and how Elijah and Moses arrived to meet with Jesus in a starship.

The Lord showed him events of His Passion as they occurred in history, confirming the locations of the Temple and Antonia Fortress. Arlin now has confirmation of the Shroud of Turin and that it is the true Banner of Heaven and the Tent of Isaiah.

Other testimonies include:

-Jesus was buried and resurrected at the Garden Tomb, not the Church of the Holy Sanctuary
-On Resurrection Morning the Lord was greeted by a welcoming committee including his ancestor King David
-The place revealed where King David resurrected
-The spot near Nazareth where Jesus spent years talking privately with His Father in Heaven
-The location where the townsfolk of Nazareth tried to throw Jesus off a precipice
-The site where the Lord’s earthly dad Joseph worked and was killed by Herod
-The location of Jacob’s ladder
-Enoch is described
-The Ancient of Days is explained, who he is, and where he will rule from

Arlin was shown how Our Lord ascended, creating a portal into Heaven over Jerusalem. The book includes an exhaustive Glossary regarding Israel and ends with a Call to Action against the coming Beast system. Also included is a list of Resources on Israel and the Holy Shroud.

Preface

This tells the incredible story of the man who was brought to Israel at Our Lord’s invitation and given a personal tour by Him of His homeland with very specific testimonies that the author would not understand for 15 years, and not in its fullest for an additional 5 years. Presented here for the first time is the full account under the new title of TESTIMONY: Last Testament of Jesus Christ.

This book is rightly called The Last… because a deception will soon arrive that will cause the majority of people to lose faith. It is packed with all the author’s testimonies of Our Lord in one volume and has everything needed to defeat the coming Antichrist. It was formerly released as Land of the Master in 2004:

In 2016, it was included as a chapter in Spiritual Journeys – Volume I.

Land of the Master Cover - 2

Then under its own title in 2020.

Introduction

Temple Mount, South East Corner

Temple Mount, South East Corner

In 2004, Our Savior invited me to His homeland Israel. You are about to read about my experience there with Jesus as my guide. Since then, I have received additional testimonies which are included in this edition along with other select testimonies that as a whole form the Final Testament of the Lord Jesus Christ before the Antichrist arrives.

I had never been to the Holy Land nor did I have plans to go when I received Our Lord’s invitation. Because this was going to be a private tour, I did not go with a group; I went alone with Our Lord and the Holy Spirit as my guides.

With a minimal amount of time, I started preparations to travel and within one week I made my arrangements but still did not know where I would stay. As I contemplated the trip, it occurred to me that Jesus wanted me to go during Passover. My thoughts turned to Jerusalem as I assumed that’s where I would spend most of my time, but Our Lord corrected me and said Galilee is where He spent most of His life.

When I thought upon His correction, I realized Jerusalem was part of His latter ministry. In fact, if He were going to take me for a tour of His homeland, Jerusalem would be a small part of it, with Galilee, including Nazareth and Capernaum, being the more significant parts.

What was the purpose of Jesus inviting me to His homeland? I didn’t know at the time and He never specified anything. One of the hardest things I had to deal with during this trip was that of reference. I was not from that culture and did not speak the language(s). If I were a local Arab or Jew, our dialogues would have possibly been greater in detail.

Many (but not all) who visit the Holy Land go with great expectations within the prophetic framework. They read of the prophecies already fulfilled, and the ones yet to come to pass, and that shapes their view of Israel.

Though I’m aware of said prophetic frameworks, none were fresh in my mind at the time. I recalled only minimal details of a Jewish temple to be built on the Temple Mount, and a last battle (Armageddon) to be fought. But because I know our Savior as a person[1] my interest in Israel was to know more about His way of life back then.

Being called to the Holy Land without time to study historical references was Our Lord’s way of ensuring I did not come with preconceived notions. My framework was the love of God first, and the glory of His presence second.

Good Friday

I arrived on Good [Holy or Great] Friday, which is observed by most Roman, Orthodox, Protestant, and Charismatic traditions. It was early on a Friday morning when our Lord was outside the city walls suffering from the weight of compressions (i.e., a convergence of the past with the future) upon Him. He knew that His time was near, but His disciples could not lend Him a hand, whether in knowing or by consoling, which is the loneliest feeling of all when your best friends can’t help with what you’re going through.

Instead of looking due east from Jerusalem as the place from which Jesus approached, we need to look more southeast, for Jesus showed me He had that view as He approached the city. Around a slight hill can be seen the village of Bethany where He and His disciples often went, away from the observations of those in Jerusalem. I saw trees were prevalent in the landscape back then, not bare as it is today.

<em>East-side view from Jerusalem looking further south than the Mount of Olives. Jesus often came and went between this first hill and the one behind it.</em>

East-side view from Jerusalem looking further south than the Mount of Olives. Jesus often came and went between this first hill and the one behind it.

Jesus was staring from that southerly outlook toward Jerusalem when He had His first impression that things would not end well for Him in Jerusalem this time. That is the direction He asked me to approach the city as I entered on foot late at night, and continued into the early hours of the morning.

I should say here that since I visited Jerusalem in 2004, many excavations have taken place and some areas are altogether different now. For example, the Giv’ati Parking Lot that I and many others regularly used is now a giant excavation pit that reveals the ancient pilgrim road that brought Jews from the cleansing pools in the south (as Jesus said He and the apostles came) and then through the small city of David then up further to the temple.

The City of David was the ancient epicenter of Jerusalem and whose boundaries stretched from the Temple Mount in the north, thence southward to the Pool of Siloam, including the area marking the Kidron brook in the east and the adjacent dale in the west. Its area is about 12.3 acres.[1]

"In 2004, Ronny Reich and Eli Shukron began an excavation in the southern part of the City of David, at the site of the Second Temple period Shiloah Pool. The first stage of the excavation uncovered a series of steps that led outside the designated excavation site, as well as a platform that approaches the area from the North."

"A year later, they began to excavate sections of the main road [Pilgrimage Road] of the city from the Second Temple period that leads in the direction of the Temple Mount. A water channel from the same time period was found beneath the road. Inside the channel, two complete cooking pots were found along with many coins, attesting to the presence of residents living inside these channels as they sought refuge from the Romans who destroyed the city and the Second Temple during the Great Revolt."[2]

This road is 2,000 years old and is the road millions of Jews would take three times a year for Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot:

"The ancient Pilgrimage Road in the City of David is one of the most sensational archaeological discoveries to be made in Jerusalem since Israel’s establishment. On this road, remarkably preserved under the ashes of the Roman destruction, many thousands of Jews in Second Temple times, after a ritual bath in the Shiloah Pool, walked about 700 meters up the hill to the Temple Mount."[3]

And,

"The Jerusalem road, which has been uncovered by archaeologists, was traveled by Jewish pilgrims obeying the biblical commandment to travel to Jerusalem three times a year for a Temple sacrifice – at Passover, Shavuot  (Pentecost), and Succoth (Feast of Tabernacles).

"‘The places and events and peoples that make Jerusalem, Jerusalem for Christians, for Jews, it all happened here. It happened here in the City of David,’ said Zeev Orenstein, Director of International Affairs at the City of David Foundation.

"‘This is where the beating heart of Jerusalem is.  We’re talking about the Pool of Siloam, we’re talking about Mt. Moriah, the Temple Mount. We’re talking about the City of David.  The Pilgrimage Road links them all together,’ Orenstein told CBN News.

"For Jews in ancient days, their pilgrimage began at the Pool of Siloam, a giant mikveh, or ritual bath.  The size of two Olympic swimming pools, they would purify themselves here before going up to the Temple to offer their sacrifices.

"‘The historian Josephus says, 2,000 years ago, on the pilgrimage festivals, there would have been more than 2 million people going up on pilgrimage. That’s a lot of people that need to bathe,’ Orenstein explained.

"The pool is also where Jesus healed the blind man as recounted in the book of John.  Its location was hidden by a road until fifteen years ago when a sewage leak led to excavations, the discovery of the pool and much more.

"‘The archaeologists when they find the pool of Siloam, they understand that that’s the pool and they know where the Temple stood on the Temple Mount 2,000 years ago, the same Temple Mount as today,’ Orenstein said.

"Orenstein said then archaeologists wondered how the pilgrims traveled from the pool to the Temple Mount.

"‘So the archaeologists widen the excavation,’ he explained and that is now what they’re calling the ancient Pilgrimage Road.

"The stones are that Jesus would have walked on, on his way up to the Temple.  The significance of the excavation of the Pilgrimage Road is that for the first time in 2,000 years, visitors will be able to walk all the way from the Pool of Siloam up to the Western Wall.

"‘The word in the Bible, the Hebrew word is Aliyah b’regel, oleh regel.  Now what we understand that to mean is that it’s a spiritual ascent, going up to Jerusalem, going up to the Temple. It’s a very holy place,’ Orenstein explained.  ‘But, when you’re in the place where the Bible happened, the words of the Bible come to life,’ he said pointing out that the road actually goes uphill.

"And it was more than that.

"‘This would have been a Times Square.  We would have had on both sides of the road, keep in mind the road is about three, four or five times wider than what we see.  You would have had shops, stalls along both sides of the road. This is the center of Jerusalem from a spiritual perspective, from a communal perspective, also from a commerce perspective,’ he said.

"‘Now, one of the major issues of Jerusalem is that it’s a living city. All the archaeological layers are built on top of one another and the modern quarters and everything (is) built on top of the archaeological layers,’ said IAA Excavation Manager Ari Levy.

Although the ancient road was out in the open 2,000 years ago, it’s currently underground, beneath the Jerusalem Arab neighborhood of Silwan. So walking on the road is like being in a tunnel. Levy says uncovering the road is a major engineering feat.[4]

Shiloach Pool Filled

Shiloach Pool Filled

"The Siloam Pool has long been considered a sacred Christian site, even if the correct identification of the site itself was uncertain. According to the Gospel of John, it was at the Siloam Pool where Jesus healed the blind man (John 9:1–11).

"Traditionally, the Christian site of the Siloam Pool was the pool and church that were built by the Byzantine empress Eudocia (c. 400–460 A.D.) to commemorate the miracle recounted in the New Testament. However, the exact location of the original pool as it existed during the time of Jesus remained a mystery until June 2004.

"During construction work to repair a large water pipe south of Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, at the southern end of the ridge known as the City of David, archaeologists Ronny Reich and Eli Shukron identified two ancient stone steps. Further excavation revealed that they were part of a monumental pool from the Second Temple period, the period in which Jesus lived. The structure Reich and Shukron discovered was 225 feet long, with corners that are slightly greater than 90 degrees, indicating a trapezoidal shape, with the widening end oriented toward Tyropoeon valley.

"What was the function of the Siloam Pool during Jesus’ time? Because the pool is fed by waters from the Gihon Spring, located in the Kidron Valley,  the naturally flowing spring water would have qualified the pool for use as a mikveh for ritual bathing… the Siloam Pool where Jesus healed the blind man is an important Christian site, and its discovery represents a watershed moment in the field of Biblical archaeology."[5]

The timing of Jesus bringing me to Israel and the discovery of the Siloam Pool two months later is no coincidence. Readers can keep up on all the news on their Twitter feed,[6] YouTube channel,[7] and website.[8]

Had Jesus opened my spiritual view to that ancient road, I would not have been able to grasp that where I was standing was many feet above it.

Outside the city walls, I passed a Nomad who was sleeping in a field with his son and their camel. Such is the view today, with the old and new alongside each other; I marveled at it.

I walked through the city’s long, narrow streets, all made of stone, just like it was back in His day. But to see the real stone streets, one must go to select archaeological locations. Eventually, I came to a small group of people who were just then funneling out of one of the Orthodox churches on the Via Dolorosa or Way of Sorrows—the alleged route Jesus bore His cross.

Night Procession

Night Procession

I stood and watched as priests and nuns aligned in a procession, each bearing a cross and a candle, with the leader carrying the larger cross. At this late hour, they all knew what they were doing, and only slightly minded my observing them.

With nothing being said, the Savior stood beside me watching them and expressed His appreciation for remembering Him. Here was a faithful group whom I felt were in the discipline of honoring the sacred, whereas in the daytime the area was busy with shoppers and merchants. This silent procession led east out of the old city through St. Stephen’s Gate, down the main road, past the grotto, and into a convent, ending in a hush; I was left outside.

Next, I walked down the street to a gate that read, Orson Hyde Memorial Garden.[9] In the quiet of the night, I proceeded into the garden, which was on the Mount of Olives. I climbed high on the mount to take in a magnificent view of the Dome of the Rock.

There was something very surreal about being so close to ancient history in the night’s stillness. Here is where Our Lord told me to sleep, for He said it’s where He and the apostles did the same.

Dome of the Rock at Night

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.

2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. (John 18)

Western Wall

Early in the day, I could view the Kotel or Western Wall (also called the Wailing Wall) during this Passover season, which brought in large numbers of Jewish people from all around the world, similar to how they came at the time of Our Lord and long before.

These visitors were all nicely dressed. They were very beautiful and delightsome people, men, women, and children. For them, Passover was a family event, and their children were amazingly content. I stood back for a time to observe it all. However, the glory of Our Lord was not there at the Kotel in a significant way.

I could see that the effect of their efforts went no higher than the top of the wall as if they believed (consciously or unconsciously) their prayers were stuck at the base of the wall, rather than on top of the Holy Mount.

In recent years Our Lord told me they could build scaffolding along the wall, a little at a time so as not to alarm anyone, in the guise of repairing it or providing more access to insert prayers, with walkways, railings, and stairs at both ends to funnel the people across it.

Doing this in stages could raise their collective consciousness until it is eventually flush with the top.

Garden Tomb

Next, I went to the Garden Tomb. There was a special Good Friday service, and that is what most people came for; the anniversary of the Crucifixion of Jesus.

"Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, the day on which Christians annually observe the commemoration of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. From the early days of Christianity, Good Friday was observed as a day of SORROW, PENANCE, and FASTING… Good Friday has, because of its intense religious connotation, not led to an overlay of secular customs and practices."[1]

While it’s true that a person can be born within a Christian home, it’s not true that a person is born a Christian; it’s a choice that must be made.

Garden Tomb

I walked through the gate, and on my left I beheld the glory of Our Lord permeating the entire area. As the Father had multiplied the robins for me in the glory of his presence (see my book Immortal Convergence, chapter Day of the Robin) so, too, were the birds multiplying in response to the presence of Our Lord.

I saw that the way they planned the Garden is conducive to the manner the glory radiates. For example, the area overhead should be, and was, left open for the glory to emanate upward, interacting with the sun’s rays. The terrain ascends upward from the tomb, with seating centered around it (I could imagine someone with no spiritual discernment doing it differently).

I noticed a well-known author who writes about the Temple Mount basking in God’s light in a semi-reclined manner, wearing sunglasses as one would bask in the sunlight. It was almost comical.

Finding a spot to observe the glory, I noticed it centered about 10 feet out in front of the tomb, which tells me the current rock facing is not where it was 2000 years ago. Even though a sign said the tomb was closed for the day, I felt I needed to go inside and see from that viewpoint where the glory was.

I approached a worker and asked why it was closed.

She said, It was not yet Sunday and His body was still in the tomb. I asked if they would make an exception because I would not be here on Sunday, and they granted an exception.

Before I went into the tomb, I walked into the center of the glory and noticed, again, that it was 10 feet in front of the tomb, and I saw in the glory that when Jesus emerged, He first looked up to the east, towards the rising sun. The residual glory that’s there continues to radiate in that direction, and the large tree you see is highly conducive to the way the glory rises upward.

Golgotha

On the far side of the Garden is a purported view of Golgotha, which is now a bus parking lot. It may be listed as Golgotha, but it’s not the true Golgotha where Jesus was murdered. The Lord showed me His view after He passed; He did not immediately go to God, or to Hell, but did what most spirits do; they stay to see what becomes of their body.

This is Not Golgotha
