2019 Bank of Eternity £1M Notes Feature Cumberbatch

2019 Bank of Eternity £1M Notes Feature Cumberbatch

 “… notice into eternity.”

– The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge (WIST)

Living Waters Europe, an online organization inspiring and equipping Christians, created a series of celebrity £1M banknotes featuring 9 different celebrities that include Benedict Cumberbatch of BBC’s Sherlock fame.

The other celebrities honored in this series are: Albert Einstein, Ant and Dec, Daniel Craig, Daniel Redcliffe, David Beckham, Jamie Oliver, Mr Bean, Simon Cowell and Stephen Hawking.

The back of the note reads: Celebrities are known for their fame and fortune, but what really matters most in life? The million-pound question: If Heaven exists, are you good enough to go there? Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” If you have, you will be guilty on Judgement Day and end up in God’s prison: Hell. But the Bible says God is rich in mercy and offered us a way out of Hell and into Heaven. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine by suffering and dying on the cross. Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then show your gratitude by obeying His command to be baptized. Make sure to also join a church, and read the Bible daily. www.WhyDidIGetThis.org.

These notes are 76 millimeters in height and are 140 millimeters in width and are printed on a lightweight glossy paper.

The Cumberbatch banknote is often found paired with other notes from the series and can be found on a major online auction service for under $10 in cost. As this post is being written, these notes can be obtained for “free” by making a donation at the group’s website.

They also have a dinosaur note available for purchase, if anyone want’s to tie into Professor Challenger.
