A thread for any discussions and postings on/of the dead sea scrolls and the associated community.

Melchizedek scroll audio starts at about 13:45 on my Diatessaron prologue


Very, very interesting......most portentious. Thanks. Hidden mystery lost in caves until..........like what said to Daniel; seal it up till the time of the end! How privileged we are God Pill. Just think over 2 millenia have passed and only now we have the full spirit of Isaiah's message, but those copyists knowing it's importance did a most wonderful thing hiding them. Now we can compare the authenticity of God's word with confidence!

Very true on the Isaiah scrolls Isaiah was so important to early Christians sometimes called it the fifth gospel. I want to thank you for your posts I think I'm one of the youngest brother's on the forum so I always appreciate the input and contributions of many throughout the forum with more life experience.

I'm still waiting for a Christian-Greek manuscript to be found that includes God's name in it. That would shut a lot of mouths... I'm betting it happens before the end of this system. It would be the topper that reveals the significance of God's name to regular joes and scholars and will help people turn to him...I hope.

I'm reading the hymns from the dead sea scrolls I'm going to wait till I've finished to report on them but so far they tie in with the bible a lot even the new testament.

Maybe they already have found God’s name in some of the scrolls and are hiding it…maybe.

4q521 the Messianic apocalypse people typically link it to what Jesus told John the Baptists disciples to tell him when he was in prison.

I’ve read some of the DSS and found it interesting as they have prophecies or writings relating to the Christ. So I think that God indeed is with them during those times. Could they have been the revived school of prophets that was lost when the first Temple was destroyed? There was a theory that John the Baptizer was part of that community—they are known for baptizing often ceremonially, as he lives near the Jordan river and the wilderness.

It's certainly plausible he was among them as a child and became there leader as an adult. All the stories from the first few centuries I've read however much or little stock I put in them that mention the baptist's family have him taken to the desert as an infant to avoid Herod's genocide.

The War of The Sons of Light Against The Sons of Darkness



Only really related to the war scroll in regard to the topic of War banners but the four faces of the cherubim in the bible correspond to the banners of the tribes that led the three tribe divisions of Israel's army army during the exodus north, south, east and west etc.

Judah/East=lion, Reuben/South=man, Ephraim/West=bull Dan/North=eagle

I presume seers (weeds) at Bethel are awake to the imminent threat from what's happening. They keep the truth for themselves and give worthless advice to the sheep! I sincerely hope and pray we survive this coming tribulation and become the lovely feet bringing the good news on the mountains!

Dan 11:30's 'ships of Kittim' possibly Turkey's Nato alliance?

An interesting take whoever it is it would have to be in opposition to the British empire though given at its point in prophecy its aligned with KOS against KON.

Honestly I'm pretty unsure as far as identifying kittim but it's definitely important in the future given not only Daniel but the end times prophecies in Numbers. My old hypothesis was china because the kittim as a people group migrated from cyprus to mongolia and china where they were known as the Khitan in the fourth century where they founded the Liao dynasty in the twelfth century.

I stuck with Cyprus and obviously Turkey: I knew you would help...thanks.

On jw.org it says

The Targum and the Vulgate both use “Italy” in place of “Kittim,” at a certain text. (Num. 24:24, Vg; 1 Chron. 1:7, Targum); while the apocryphal book of 1 Maccabees (1:1, JB) uses Kittim to represent the land of Macedonia.

This Kittim, it's context has definite reference to the geo political movements of today! It's a joy sharing this watch with you GP.
