This website, "godsimage1.com," is the personal ministry platform of Joseph Edward Bonnette, who also operates "JEHOVAH'S PRAYER CAMP FOR ALL PEOPLE LLC." Born on August 5, 1961, Bonnette uses the site to share his unique theological interpretations, solicit donations, promote his ebook, and connect with like-minded individuals. He prefers contact via WhatsApp due to his unfamiliarity with other platforms like Facebook.
Key Themes and Beliefs Presented:
The Shroud of Turin as a Divine Document:
Bonnette believes the Shroud is a "theological document in picture form made by Jehovah," akin to the Ten Commandments.
He asserts it contains divinely made images not just of Jesus's body, but also:
The "3 main temples of the TRINITY (JEHOVAH, JESUS & MICHAEL THE ANGEL)."
The face of God over the crown of thorns (a "prototype human image").
Michael the Archangel (in the neck area).
Satan's "mugshot" (at the end of Jesus's pigtail-like hair on the back).
Satan in the lake of fire (on the lower back).
These images are said to illustrate specific Bible verses (e.g., REV 1:13-16, REV 10:1, REV 4:2-3, REV 12:9, REV 20:10).
He expresses a desire to obtain a 72GB high-resolution scan of the Shroud for further study.
"Meat in God's House" and the Image of God:
He interprets "meat in mine house" from Malachi 3:10 as "the image of God being the gospel of Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:4).
He laments the lack of sermons on this specific interpretation, suggesting it's key to receiving God's blessings from tithing.
Psalm 51 as the "Key of David":
An extensive exposition on Psalm 51, viewing it as a prophecy of Jesus, the cross, and the means of mercy and repentance.
He connects it to the daily carrying of one's cross and the creation of a clean heart by God.
Recitation of Revelation:
Bonnette strongly advocates for the daily recitation of the entire Book of Revelation (KJV version, which he states has 12,000 words).
He considers this a "PHYSICAL NECESSITY" and a commandment, promising blessings and a deeper connection to Christ (the Logos).
Unique Theological Interpretations:
His understanding of the Trinity and the Godhead appears distinct, focusing on "knowing nothing but Jesus and him crucified" but incorporating his Shroud-based visions.
He discusses the nature of souls, Christ as the Logos, the fall of Lucifer (Haylale), and the process of God making "all things new."
He interprets Ecclesiastes 7:27-29 ("one man among a thousand... a woman among all those I have not found") as Jesus being the one man and the church (as woman) being universally sinful.
He critiques some Catholic imagery of the infant Jesus as not reflecting true humility.
Theology of the USA Flag:
He presents a symbolic interpretation of the USA flag as an anointed "prayer cloth" with theological significance: stripes as Jesus's wounds, stars as angels/believers, etc. He suggests it could be the "official flag of the new universe."
Influence of Joseph Alleine:
He promotes the works of Joseph Alleine ("Alarm to the Unconverted," "Saint's Pocket Book") and advocates for rigorous self-examination and writing down past sins.
Calls to Action and Personal Information:
Donations: Repeated requests for donations via Cash App ($dollarjeb) to support his life, ministry, website, and his fiancée in Uganda whom he hopes to marry or see soon.
Ebook: Promotes his ebook "CRUCIFIXION SHOCKWAVE" available on Amazon.

Overall Nature of the Website:
The website serves as a deeply personal platform for Joseph Edward Bonnette to expound on his specific and often unconventional theological system, heavily influenced by his interpretations of the Shroud of Turin and select scriptures. It combines complex theological discourse with direct appeals for financial support and personal connection. The writing style is dense, sometimes stream-of-consciousness, and reflects a fervent desire to share what he believes are profound, divinely revealed truths.
