Commentary: It is written in Jeremiah 32:27, Behold, I am YHWH, the God of all flesh, which forms the God of All Flesh Cross. (Cipher 27) Jesus announces his authority also through the cross above to connect humans (flesh) on earth to eternal life in heaven. And this is life eternal, that they should know thee (YHWH) the only true God.  Likewise, it can also mean; And this is not life eternal, that they should not know thee (YHWH) the only true God.
