FINAL WARNING: Setting the Stage for Destruction
Bel and the Dragon were works of fiction, and for that reason were not
included in the Bible. Many apocryphal writings were found at Qumran.
When it comes to analyzing the contents of a text, how do you decide
that it is a historically accurate document, if you don’t know the
intention of the writer, or even who the writer was. Just as the writers
of the Gospels have been accused of embellishment, do some of the
Qumran texts contain embellishments.Because of the initial secrecy surrounding the Scrolls, how will we
really know that all of the fragments found, will be released. It was said
that some fragments had been taken to the Ecole Biblique. Were they
ever returned to the Rockefeller Museum? I guess, what I am thinking
here, is that if they had discovered something that would have shaken
the very foundation of the Christian Church, would the Scroll team
have allowed it to remain, or would it have found its way into the dark
recesses of the Vatican, never again to see the light of day, or perhaps
only locked away for a short time, to be released when the time is
right.As Price maintains, there may very well be nothing to the negative
slant that has been applied to the Scrolls; and yet, it is very hard not to
think conspiratorially because of all the circumstances surrounding
them. I believe that the Scrolls are part of the ‘last days’ trigger, and as
such, I believe that they are going to be used in some way to
perpetuate an end-time deception.In addition, how about the existence of other scrolls which haven’t
made their way into official hands so they can scrutinized by scholars.
Strugnell revealed the existence of four other scrolls from Cave 11. Of
the two he saw, one was a complete copy of the Book of Enoch. On his
deathbed, Lankester Harding, the director of Jordan’s Department of
Antiquities, claimed to have seen two more scrolls that Strugnell had
not seen. All four are located in Jordan. Stories have also circulated
about Bedouin discoveries which were not given to de Vaux, and have
yet to surface. Plus there have been other optimistic forays into the
area which could eventually turn up more scrolls or fragments. In one
case, archaeologists Dr. Gary Collett and Dr. Aubry L. Richardson,
using sophisticated equipment developed by NASA (which can sense
non-visible elements of the electromagnetic spectrum and interpret the
type of molecules found in its makeup), claimed that there were still
