Coming to a Computer Near You: The Dead Sea Scrolls

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s Antiquities Authority is partnering with Google to bring the ancient Dead Sea Scrolls online.

The project will grant free access to the 2,000-year-old text — considered one of the greatest archaeological finds of the last century — by uploading high-resolution images. The first photographs are slated to be online within months.

The scrolls will be available in both original languages and in translation.

Antiquities official Pnina Shor said Tuesday this will ensure the originals are preserved while broadening access to the priceless artifact, which includes fragments of the Hebrew Bible.

Experts have complained only a small number of scholars were allowed access to the scrolls found in caves near the Dead Sea in the 1940s.

      The Scriptures support the Scriptures. How on earth can you say they do not support the Christian gospels, but do support the Morman foolishness? Let me get this right. Joseph Smith finds these golden tablets that show Jesus came here to preach to the natives living here. The only problem is that none of them handed anything down to their later generations. Then the golden tablets were translated with the help of an angel called Moroni, and then the tablets are taken back to heaven. Hmmmm. Wonder why? You would think that if they came from G-d, He would want there to be some kind of evidence left behind because the Word of G-d says that out of the mouths of two, or three witnesses is G-d’s word confirmed.The Jesus of the Mormons is not the Jesus of the Bible. The gospel of the Mormons is “Another Gospel”. In Galatians we read, I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel; which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven,preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” The Mormons try to say that the early church became totally apostate believing another gospel). Mormons try to read something into that Scripture that just simply is not there. We do have another man and an angel bringing another gospel. Their names are Joseph Smith and Moroni.

    While you are at it, how about some live video feeds throughout Israel and Palestine. Let the people see what life is like on both ends. This will do away with a lot of the “they attacked first”, or “we had to act in the name of safety”, from both sides.

    Let people make up their own minds without trying to be influenced by the media, lobbying groups, and other influential sources.

      To Blacktooth,
      The reason I use G-d instead of using the letter “o” is because I am Messianic in my overall beliefs, and even though I am not of Jewish descent myself It is considered by many Jewish people to be insulting and blasphemous to use the word G-d with the “o”. I guess you could say that they believe it is using the name in vain. Since my belief is centered on leading the Jewish people to Messiah, it makes no sense to give them something to use against me. I hope I have explained it to your understanding.

      Spookytruck, Thank you for your explanation. I understand now. I can offer this for your consideration; The term “God” is a title, not a name. I could call you “a man” (a title) but you would prefer I use your name (spooky)??? We can use that god title all the time, and we do, to refer to many people or even false gods. As you already know, The God of the Bible is distinguished from all false gods by His giving us knowledge of his actual name. YHWH, Ya-hew, or Jehovah is the name of God. The actual pronunciation of God’s name is now lost due to the explanation you gave. Ancient Israel/Judah stopped using God’s name and because of misuse, we now think it is pronounced Jehovah, the most common pronunciation. Psalm 83:18, Exodus 6:2-3

      Blacktooth, yes the Bible represents revealed truth up to the death of the last apostles. I find it quite arrogant to say that God won’t reveal more truths to His children as needed and as they are ready to live higher truths. That‘s God’s pattern. The truths of Christ are higher law than the Law of Moses. Most of the Jews would NOT accept that higher law. Today most Christians won’t accept the higher laws of the Restored Gospel. Human nature hardly changes.

      FYI, only 1/3rd of the plates upon which the Book of Mormon came from have been translated. These plates like the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden MUST be protected as I speak. Why? The world including Mormons aren’t living up to the already revealed truths so why give more?

      I’m a convert since 1965. I’m so grateful to God that He still loves us with all our faults to continue to speak through prophets. I’m sorry that is threatening to orthodox Christians.

      Contrarianthinker, Look, I realize you love to talk about your Mormon church, but you have to realize that we who love and respect the Bible can not in any way buy your new religion. It is so at odds with the Bible that we cannot accept the Mormon apostasy from the 1st century Christian Congregation model. Even the so-called christian churches of today have apostatized from that 1st century model. Joseph Smith’s “revelation” is definitely not sanctioned in God’s Word, the Bible. You cannot throw the Bible aside in favor of other a different book.

      the Dead Sea Scrolls are far from scripture—whatever your definition of scripture might be, they represent the writings of rebellious members who believed that they came up with better solutions, and theology then those passed down from Christ. The human mind is superior enough to decipher and draw it’s own conclusions, the only way to “enlightenment” is through efforts pursued by man–not by the gift of grace. This is their belief, which is far from mine.

      Citizen,
      I don’t know where you get your information, but Scripture IS the Word of G-d. I have been prayerfully studying Scripture for over thirty years and portions of the DSS have been on the internet already for years through Hebrew University and Jerusalem University. There is only a fragment of the Book of Enoch. People often wonder why the so called “Lost Books of the Bible” were not included in the Bible. It’s simple. Most of those books were written over two hundred years after the fact and what is known to be fact is often distorted, or in conflict with inspired prophesy. The book of Judas is dated to around 225 A.D. Judas hanged himself during the same Passover season that Yeshuah (Jesus) was crucified. How on earth could he possibly have written a gospel. Use your head.

      The beautiful thing about Scripture is that all of the books are in agreement in a way that takes it out of the realm of human creativity, or cunning, or even total understanding. The whole Old Testament for example points to Messiah (Christ) in ways that most Bible scholars miss through their intellectual searching. I will give a couple of examples. The Jewish people have for thousands of years have kept the Passover. The Passover is a feast given to them by G-d to be a perpetual feast. They were to place the blood of a lamb without spot, or blemish (indicating a perfect lamb, without sin. Healthy and innocent) on the door posts and top of the door. (the vertical and horizontal portions of the door. This is the indication of the blood of the innocent and sinless lamb of G-d (Yeshuah) on the cross (with a cross beam). When the angel sees the blood, he will passover you and you will live. Just as when G-d sees the blood of Messiah, He will passover our sins and we shall live forever. Now look at the passover bread. It is Bread. Jesus is the Bread of life. He was born in Bethlehem (House of bread in the Hebrew) The bread is without leaven which is a representation of sin. It is with stripes, from the way it is baked. Messiah received the stripes on his back from the whipping He received before going to the cross. It is pierced. Messiah was pierced by the nails in His hands and feet and the spear of the Roman soldier. There are literally thousands of examples of Messiah planted in Scripture that agree with Yeshuah (Jesus) being the Messiah (Christ). I could go on for days giving examples that have come by revelation and not from intellectual study. I haven’t even gotten into the hundreds of prophesies that point directly to Yeshuah.

      You cannot understand the Bible through your intellectual understanding. The wisdom of G-d is foolishness to (natural) man and the wisdom of man is foolishness with G-d. The Bible is Spirit and must be Spiritually discerned. That which is Spirit is Spirit and that which is flesh is flesh is flesh.
      The DSS were not written by agnostics but by very devout Jews called the Essenes during a time of severe persecution about two hundred years before Messiah. It’s amazing that all ancient copies of Scripture found to this date agree with only a letter difference hear and there. I believe the Bible is the inspired and true Word of G-d given to man through revelation by His Holy Spirit. There is just too much overwhelming evidence to support it. This evidence demands a verdict.

      I understand and agree with what you are saying. I understand from a Christian standpoint that you are indeed correct. However, I am accustomed to dealing with Jewish people that do not “as of yet” have this revelation. By the way, YHVH, or later JHVH are the corresponding Hebrew letters. The closest rendering of the name of G-d is more likely YaHaVeHy. The name Jehovah was unknown until around the eighth century, and came from the Latin rendering.

      Whitefang,

      If man were able to destroy G-d’s words, that would mean man is greater than G-d and G-d is inferior to man. I don’t think so. In fact, I know better. Those who do not believe the Bible is the complete inspired word of G-d, do not know the Eternal G-d of the Bible. They do not believe, so they are constantly searching for something else. They need a new revelation. The only problem with that is that there is so much revelation in the Bible that the more G-d reveals to you, the more you understand how little you know. It’s paradoxical. The more you know the G-d of the Bible, the more hungry you become to know Him more, but the more you don’t know the G-d of the Bible, the more you try to find Him in places other than the Bible. Every time I study the Bible, G-d opens it up more and more. Every time I study the “Lost books of the Bible” I understand why they are not inspired and were not included in the Bible. First of all, they are too far after the fact and too often
      contrary to sound doctrine set forth by the Apostles. When I study The Apostolic Fathers like Clement, who was a disciple of John, Ignatius, and Polycarp, I can understand that the early church did not fall into apostasy as some would have us believe, but were rather martyred for their faith and the truth they loved so dearly. It is the same when I study the commentary of the New Testament from the Talmud and the Hebraica. Those who believe that we need other revelations outside the Bible know a small and weak god who does not have it in his power to protect his words from man. I serve an awesome G-d. He is able.

    Please don’t anyone freak out about this, I have read the DSS, and I can sum it up for you like this.

    No one can honestly read these. Whole paragraphs are missing, sentences, words and letters. It is a combination of scraps. Here’s an example:

    “What I really feel is that we should bring pain to these people”.

    It reads pretty bad right? Too bad we lost ONE letter in that sentence, a T. With it included, it reads like this:
    “What I really feel is that we should bring paint to these people”.

    See how easy it is to misread? The whole thing is like that.

    It is like people who take 1 line from the Bible and twist it to stand for something outside of the context in which it was written. The whole DSS are so out of context it is sad.

    They were written by Agnostics, so I’m sure liberals will jump for joy over it, but it really is only an old document, terribly preserved, and unholy….in my opinion of course—the unholy part that is.

      There is nothing wrong with Gnostic texts……Just because Emperor Constantine and the Catholic church decided what was “supposed” to be in the Bible doesn’t mean they were right. Gospel of Mary Magdalene, Judas, Thomas, Peter…….Why were those not considered back then? Nowadays, people don’t pay attention to these because there are only the single copies of each found, unlike the other books which are more numerous. I would love to read the gospel of Mary Magdalene, apparently Jesus revealed something special to her, and Peter got jealous about it…..And you wonder why wives are “supposed” to submit to their husbands.

      NoName,
      Gnostic texts are not holy because they directly oppose the Gospel of Christ, which is that salvation cannot be earned as it is a gift already given, only to be received.

      Concerning the other books, like you mentioned, the oldest copies might be ridden with the damage of age, but alas there are hundreds and in some cases thousands of other copies that verbatim support the context and content of the text. I would much rather place faith in something that time has preserved in volume, then scattered pieces that time has destroyed. What better way to see God’s approval then through the eyes of time?

      I believe that the Apocrypha is an amazing book with wonderful stories in it, my favorite is the Book of Judith. Why it is not included in the Holy Bible is frankly not for me to worry with. if you like it, read it. It is there for your consumption. There are plenty of great passages in the Qu’ran that are worth reading, but in that case as well as in other texts, like the DSS, it is not the 90% that is agreeable that matters, but the 10% that is not.

      I have watched and read up on the DSS, the History Channel and there is this Canadian guy that I just love called the Naked Archaeologist. there are many theories on the scrolls. some believe that when the Romans sacked Jerusalem, the refugees carried the books from the Temple and hid them. some think that the area around where the scrolls were found were written by the Essenes. National Geo has a new one called the Lost Books of the Bible. it is assumed that these books were written by Gnostic’s. Agnostics don’t believe in divine intervention. Gnostic’s do. the Gospel of Thomas is a wonderful read-it is just quotes from Jesus-no narrative like they walked yadda yadda. just His words. Split a log and I am there, lift up a stone and you will find me. (paraphrasing) the program also brings up the fact that women were very involved as teachers and disciples of Jesus…I believe that Mary Magdalene was given the ‘key’ not Peter. what we have now is mans construct of how to control the people. reading the words Jesus shows that his Way is not the way we have gone.

      FWIW, the Book of Mormon predicts the coming forth of many pieces of the word of God that were lost until just before the last days. In addition to these, there will be writings coming from the Lost Tribes. God visits all people and leaves His word with them. Many witnesses for God aqnd Christ, not just the Bible.

      You make my point for me. How do you know the church did not go out and destroy all these texts, imprison those who read and worshipped them, and burn the scripts? The Gospel of Christ…..according to the Bible that we know today. How do you know that the scattered pieces of one text are not on par or above the tons of copies that have been consistently written? Just cause it’s popular or it is what some HUMAN institution says. The Catholic Church used fear in the Dark Ages to spread the word and demanded money from peasents, so they could “repent.” Look at how they protect their own child molesting members, like a teacher’s union…….Again, you wonder why when Jesus shared a special vision with Mary Magdalene, according to the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, that women are supposed to be silent in church and be submissive to their husbands. Only Paul says that, not Jesus.

      I’m not saying the Bible itself is bad, but you see how those in power made the attempt to edit and control the word.

      Hopefully it doesn’t stop here with findings as ContrarianThinker has alluded to.

      No Name, what I’m about to say will offend many but truth often cuts to the very soul. Yes many precious truths revealed by Christ and the Apostles have been purposely destroyed and/or distorted. That’s a basic tenet of Mormon Theology. It is the reason why God called Joseph Smith: to restore that which was lost and to correct the errors. That is why many orthodox Christians claim we teach a different Gospel. We actually do in many important ways.

      All one has to do is look at the history of Orthodox Christainity to see how much of what we are taught comes from who had the most influence with the reigning monarch of the time. Interpretations such as the Trinity were voted on. No one claims that this was directly revealed by God as His truth.

      The battle lines for truth are clearly drawn.

    I think this is really neat. However, I am not too thrilled with Google’s hand in the mix. I do not trust Google, talk about “too big”, this group of peps, wanna control all communications, and it seems they have a great number of governments, educators and etc willing to turn over all parts of our lives to them. The new world order in the hands of Google…just google as they say,”we want to read your mind! And your next thought too”! Stranger than fiction you say, the things we most feared are upon us. oh well, I like the scrolls being available, I had to do it the old fashion way,

      I wish the Catholic church would release some of their ancient documents, afterall, it’s our history too.

      Rita, there are very sound reasons why the Catholic Church keeps their records very close to the vest.

    I’ve always wanted to see what these are all about, glad to hear it. I do hope it is translated and with various commentary from experts to get an idea what it says and means.

      Or at least you’ll get and idea of what the experts (say) they meant. It all boils down to whose expects your listening to.

    this is exciting yet scary at the same time. I would like to view these yet their servers must be extremely secure – I can just imagine some one hacking in and “changing” the translation or something along those lines.

      Exactly, Surely you really don’t believe that the almighty Google could possibly be hacked? I know they don’t.

      They’d be able to change them back… it’s not like the originals are going to be affected. Even if it did happen, it would be petty vandalism, hardly a scandal that would alter the course of history.

      There’s nothing stopping people from downloading them and altering them though. But even so, what purpose would it serve? People would have to be pretty clueless to fall for that.

    I love it! Let people make up their own minds, and how better to do it than to give them access to the information they need to do so? Hey, this internet thing just might catch on!

      Excellent, I have two books based on english translations of the scrolls – or at least what they had at the time of publishing.

      Love to be able to see the whole of the scrolls.

      @John: haven’t you heard? All this information is too distracting. We should probably wait for the Government’s synopsis instead of reading them ourselves.

      I wonder if Algore regrets inventing the internet yet :)
