I suppose it depends on what Giovanna might have meant by
HUGE.
In that culture and reference group—
IT IS PUBLICALLY UNHEARD OF. BEYOND SHOCKING. THEREFORE, HUGE.
Yes, I think Sid Roth claims there are 60 ORTHODOX Rabbis who accept Jesus as their Messiah. However, I doubt more then their closest intimates know that.
I perceive Jewish society to be an interesting mix of collectivist and individualist culstures, social structures. There’s tons of group pressure to group conformity while allowing some significant individuality along some lines—such as choice of kosher business etc.
For the MOST EXALTED RABBI for decades to JUMP SHIP even posthumously IS A BIG DEAL.
TO THAT REFERENCE GROUP, THAT CULTURE, THAT SOCIETY.
Of course, folks still will be as willfully blind as they want to be.
In addition to everything else, it proves that God is not finished with the Jews and indeed chose a rabbi, not any Christian minister, to bless with the revealing of His name and the revelation that it will be after the death of Ariel Sharon that He will return. Jesus Christ will go to that length to bring His people to Him.
This is HUGE.

Other than the acronym derived from his last, posthumously opened note, what is the objective evidence that he actually “jumped ship”?
