What remarkable action does the female crimson worm take that parallels Jesus' crucifixion?

Did you know there is a worm that dies for its children… and leaves a crimson stain that turns white? Could this tiny creature, hidden in the pages of Scripture, be one of the most powerful symbols of Christ’s sacrifice?

For centuries, the Crimson Worm (coccus ilicis) has been used to produce a deep red dye, coloring ancient fabrics—including those in the biblical Tabernacle. But what’s more astonishing is how it lives… and how it dies. When the mother worm is ready to bring new life into the world, she attaches herself to a tree, gives her body as food for her young, and leaves behind a scarlet stain that fades to white. Sound familiar?

Join Eric Hovind and Dr. Jobe Martin, as they uncover the mind-blowing parallels between this tiny worm and the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Did God place this creature in nature as a hidden prophecy of the cross? Is it coincidence—or divine design?
