by Shelina (of Shelina and Gregory) Tonight there was another television program about Jesus on, called ‘The Faces- Jesus in Art’ on PBS which spoke about images of Jesus as portrayed in art throughout history. It told how there is no actual record of what Jesus looked like and how images change according to the artist and their culture. He was a middle eastern man with a dark complexion, dark hair and dark eyes.
When researching the most obvious faces in The Jesus Opal, I discovered three prominent ones that match the images in this apparition healing stone. The main one or first one that most people see looks like Warner Sallman’s ‘Head of Christ’. It is the most well known painting of Jesus and was a card given to WWII soldiers. Painted in 1941, it sold 51 million copies and now resides at Anderson University, Indiana USA. Gregory is a visionary and has said that is how Jesus appears to him when speaking, except as a middle eastern man.
Turning the stone counterclockwise the next face to appear is one that resembles the Jesus painting by Leanardo Da Vinci known as ‘The Last Supper’. Da Vinci is the most searched artist on the web. Of course, his painting was made even more famous by Dan Brown’s book ‘The Da Vinci Code’ which is searched for twice as much as the artist according to Dean Tsouvalas at Lycos. Then after turning the opal counter clockwise again, the third clear Jesus face appears. This one has a resemblance to the Rembrandt Harmenzoon Van Rijn painting ‘Portrait of Christ’ done in 1655-1657 which I like.
Some people see other images but for me those three are the most obvious. I was amazed at the number of paintings and drawings that have been done throughout history of Jesus as the Christ. He certainly influenced cultures all over the world no matter what their beliefs are. I used to call ‘The Jesus Opal’ by the name of ‘The Many Faces of Jesus Opal’. Others have called it ‘The Healing Opal’ since many other prophets and visions also show up on it, but to Gregory, who was given the opal and speaks to Jesus, it will always be ‘The Jesus Opal’. This is the only American or world Jesus apparition with many faces of Jesus appearing from the same spot on the stone.
Jesus Speaks through Gregory 7/28/07: “When you have love in your heart for yourself, others, and life itself, it makes life easier and lighter and you tend to laugh more which is also healing. And as you laugh more and love more, you are more aware and able to go through the rough bumps easier. Sometimes it is not easy to take the first steps but try and succeed in it and you will know that I am telling the truth. Please check out The Jesus Opal. It was given as a gift to Gregory, and later Shelina, to be able to show the world that there is always hope. Many aspects of my face as painted by the great masters appear on the stone and in reality no matter what religion you are, I tried to teach self empowerment, love and peace. For once you become self empowered, you can connect with your heart and soul and feel contentment. And you will feel a connection to myself, God, and your angels and guides, who will start showing themselves to you and start teaching you by giving you true understanding. Bless the world” Jesus
