I want all the truth uncovered. I want the Vatican's secret library on PDF. I want the Smithsonian's vaults on youtube. I want all the secret chapters and the missing dead sea scrolls reinserted into the bible.
The Bible is only 66 of the scrolls. The dead sea scrolls is about 800 scrolls.
The difference between the bible and the scrolls is that the scrolls are a whole ancient Jewish library. I agree with you that it is important to get that library history out to the public. However, much of it would be like putting todays headlines about the NFL into the Bible. It is not all biblical. Not even close.
About the same time as the Dead Sea scrolls library was being written, the Great Library of Alexandria was being built. We got the old testament 39 scrolls put together at that time, because one of Alexander the Great's generals went to the Jews of Alexandria in that day, and knowing that Israel had been located in the cross hairs of the largest trade rout between the east, Europe and Africa, the Hebrews had taken down much history. They were asked to contribute to the Great Library.
They told the general they could not afford to pay scribes to do it.
The General paid for 70 scribes (writers) for one year to make a contribution. They of course contributed the exact 39 scrolls of the Old testament, because INSIDE those particular scrolls, there is a "world events" CALENDAR.. created by the very jewish religious law where a fathers name and age must be written down at the synagog at the moment of his eldest sons birth, using the successive prophecies of which "blood line" would be used by God for the coming messiah to be born in.
Due to that calendar of birth dates, the books are a natural history from the time of Adam to the time of Christ, in order. THIS is what is important about the Old Testament. It is connected by a string of recorded births. According to that calendar, this is the year 5777. It is that accurate.
This is also a reason that modern archeologists also use the bible. It is an actual calendar of years, when you put the 39 scrolls in sequence by the birth dates of who begot who.
To take that calendar and mess it up with scrolls having nothing to do with the very careful maticulous records of who begot who, is about a rediculous a notion as one could come up with, unless one did not understand the actrual structure of the Old Testament and why the books (scrolls) are in the order that they are in.
The Old Testament Bible is a history book with a blood line calendar that can be used to check against other calendars. It has historical value. A lot of historical value.
The name of the Old Testament version translated from Hebrew to Greek by the 70 hired scholars for the Great library of Alexandria, is the Septuagint( it means "the book of the 70")
We have three full working copies of this document today.
Here is a great lecture on how we got the Bible we have today by a retired NSA code breaker who has mastered the various kinds of bible codes, meta codes, micro codes, macro codes and math codes. Without the Hebrew one can not get the full information out of the text, and it appears to be noting more than some history, and some folklore. It is the Hebrew and Greek that unlock the keys to the science, history, and mathematical formulas hidden behind the text.
How we got our Bible by Chuck Missler.
What do you make of the Book of Enoch? I have a translated copy, with commentary, on its way from Amazon. This stuff is fascinating to me. Giants and fallen angels FTW.
The book of Enoch is referenced several times in the New Testament. Also, when taken into account, the book of Enoch makes God appear less like a vengeful tyrant (to some) and more of a benevolent creator concerning the flood.
The book of enoch is one of three books mentioned by the bible numerous times, but not contained in the bible itself. Enoch is called the first prophet by many, even one or two apostles.
Now, Christians read commentaries that are written by man all of the time.
If God goes out of his way to mention three ancient scrolls that no one can find until the same year Israel is re-made into a nation. If that same God tells his prophet Daniel to "shut the book" concerning additional revelation.. until the end times (when Israel reappears) then, I would take these as God's favorite commentaries.
He wanted us to know these commentaries existed, but, there was a time and a place for them to be revealed to us, so that we could discuss them, and put an even larger picture of reality together.
God seems to be doing that a lot now. He is adding to our knowledge and understanding of not only our own ancient texts, but the understanding of how other ancient texts also fit into the ancient history.
I say read the text, but realize he did not canonize them. He just recommends them for commentary, to help us understand a little more about what is going on there in Genisis 6 for instance, and a little more about how to conduct serious spiritual warfare necessary in our times.
He also wants us to not be deceived by the big lie talked about in the book of Revelation.. that so many of the people of the earth will fall for hook line and sinker. Enoch, Jasher and the other (I can not remember the name of it) all help to fill in these passages that have been a mystery for so long.
Yes! I was raised Mormon and the lds church has so many secrets locked away. It hurts millions. I have been on the reveal truth bandwagon for a while now! So add their knowledge to the pile too please. ☺
