The following is postulated:

  • The teacher is the reader. He is singing, using a picture of the heavens themselves as the script. He is the dumb who will sing to teach feeble hands for war. He sings when we place the psalms on his tongue.
  •  This means that the songs sung by the teacher each Sabbath was part of the heavenly declaration that God designed i.e. “He named the stars and called them out by name”
  • The characters in the scroll are star pictures, first identified (through the week that they appear).Then they began to speak their lines (when their star names are revealed). And finally they become alive and begin to take action as befits their characters.
  • Among the cast a special segment of Heroes are delineated. These heroes which are  that are part of a heavenly battle which relates to the Earth, can be surmised from the statement: “The battle of the heavenly heroes will span the Globe”.
  • These are seven glorious princes who provide the temple sacrifices needed on Yom Kippur. Seven Glorious Princes –are spirits in charge of the offerings.

The Book of Secrets (lQ27, 4Q299-301)

THE BOOK OF SECRETS-1Q27, 4Q299-301Narrative Synopsis

In a surprising turn of events Qumran offers” proof, that "it” (i.e. meaning the 1QM War scroll) is true. “This “Proof”, is based on the understanding of “Jacob's Ladder Vision”, which the “Book of Secrets” argues, proves everything. When the meaning of this document is interpreted, “Illumination” to become “wise” is also given.
The Book of Secrets”, addresses the subject as sort of a time capsule of information “so they did not rescue themselves without the secret of the way things are. Hear now what wisdom is. Picture the teacher speaking to our generation, saying;
·       “ The vision is sealed up from you, and you have not properly understood the eternal mysteries”

The Qumran prophesies will come to pass, the book warns;

·       “This is all ready to happen, it is a true oracle, and by this it shall be known to you that it cannot be averted.”

Apparently addressing Israel of the end time the author continues; “they did not know the secret of the way things are nor did they understand the things of old and they did not know what would come upon them, so they did not rescue themselves without the secret of the way things are”. The scroll describes the vision of Jacob in a portion that begins with: “Here now what wisdom is.”
THIS SCROLL DISCUSSES JACOB’S VISION =FIVE CLUES
The first four clues were about Archaeo-astronomy, the fifth is the Origen of things. This is a riddle. After reading the clues given, the answer should be apparent, to anyone initiated. Five clues are given to receive illumination and become wise.
·       The first four discuss the archeo astronomy of Jacob’s Vision.
·       The last clues relates to the microprosophus and its role to commemorate Jacob’s Vision.
 A subject which leads to the Microprosophus and its relationship to the Foundation stone.
1. Lights of the stars for a memorial of His name.
2. Hidden things of the mysteries of Light and the ways of Darkness.
3. The times of heat with the periods of cold.

INTERPRETAION
1. Lights of the stars for a memorial of His name….God named the stars he called them out by name. They are the characters that become alive in the celestial drama as part of  a memorial of His name.
2. Hidden things of the mysteries of Light and the ways of Darkness…Light was considered the Good principle darkness was considered evil. .Morels and Dogmas.
·       Around the central and simple idea of the annual death and resurrection of the Sun a multitude of circumstantial details soon clustered. p. 449   
·       Osirus and Typhon were…principle of good and evil, of light and darkness ever at war in the administration of the Universe.p.476
3. The times of heat with the periods of cold….The year itself was divided into periods of heat and cold. Heat was considered good and cold bad. Therefore during the time when the Sun ruled, warmth prevailed and this was good. During the after the Solstice it was cold and darkness ruled which was considered evil. Speaking of the Sun as seen by our ancient ancestors Albert Pike stated. And they lamented when, after the Autumnal Equinox, the malign influence of the venomous Scorpion, and the vindictive Archer, and the filthy ill-omened He-Goat dragged him down toward the Winter Solstice.
·       Arriving there; they said he had been slain (note *in Aries with the lamb), and had gone to the realm of darkness. Remaining there three days, he rose again, and ascended Northward in the heavens, to redeem the earth from gloom and darkness of Winter, which soon became emblematical of sin, and evil and suffering; as the spring, Summer and Autumn became emblems of happiness and immortality. Soon they personified the Sun, and worshipped him under the name of Osirus, and transmuted the legend of his descent among the Winter signs, into a fable of his death, his descent into the infernal regions, and his resurrection. (Morels and Dogmas p.447)
4. The breaking of day and the coming of night …According to Albert Pike the ancients were concerned not only with the diurnal activity but also the annual activity of the Sun. This concept is also seen Biblically in the term a day is as a year to God.
·       In the projection of the celestial sphere by the astronomical priests, the zodiac and constellations, arranged in a circle, presented their halves in diametrical opposition; and the hemisphere of Winter was said to be adverse, opposed, and contrary, to that of Summer. Over the angels of the latter ruled a king (OSIRIS or ORMUZD), enlightened, intelligent, creative, and beneficent. Over the fallen angels or evil genii of the former, the demons or Devs of the subterranean empire of darkness and sorrow, and its stars, ruled also a chief. In Egypt the Scorpion first ruled… the Evil Principle …The Sun does not arrive at the same moment in each year at the equinoctial point on the equator. The explanation of his anticipating that point belongs to the science of astronomy; and to that we refer you for it. …The precession amounts to 30° or a sign, in 2155.6 years. So that, as the sun now enters Pisces at the Vernal Equinox, he entered Aries at that period, 300 years B. C., and Taurus 2455 B. C. p. 450
Conclusions from above points describe the archeo astronomy of Jacobs Vision. The time period, corresponds to the building of the Great Pyramid. The House of the Sun is based  on the equinox points in that period.
·       Autumn Solstice The Sun entered Scorpio from Libra
·       Vernal Equinox. At this time the Sun entered Taurus from Aries
5. The origins of things…The Origin of the Earth relates to the foundation stone. The stone that Jacob laid  on was in Bethel, yet God choose to commemorate the event in Zion.
RABBINICAL COMMENTARY In the following Rabbinical commentary from the Zohar, we see Rabbi’s make the connection. They discuss how it is that Jacob, laid on a stone in Bethel, and was transported to the foundation stone in Jerusalem
ü  Rabbi Judah began to expand on the verse   And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house. "That stone “, he said was the foundation stone out of which the world revolved, and on which the temple was built.The Judean said how is that possible?This foundation stone was created before the world, to be the point which the world evolved, and yet you say that it is referred to in the verse, “this stone I have set up as a pillar”which indicates that Jacob put it there, this being the same stone of which it is said , and he took a stone and put it underneath his head.(ibid. 18)

A PROBLEM:
A further difficulty is that Jacob was in Bethel and the stone was in Jerusalem. The Judean the said, Regarding your remark that Jacobs stone was the foundation stone, I have asked you,  first , how can that be, seeing that the foundation stone preceded the creation of the world and was the one from which the world evolved , where as Jacobs stone was put by him in its place, as it is written this stone have I put”, also And he took a stone and put it under his head. And secondly, how can the two be identified, seeing that Jacob was in Bethel and the stone was in Jerusalem.  Judah then answered “It is as though the whole earth was folded up underneath him.”   The Judean repeated his question, quoting again the expression ‘that he put’ Said R. Judah to him, ‘If you know of a better answer, say it. The Judean then discoursed as        follows. It is written. As for me I shall be satisfied when I wake up in thy likeness (Ps 17; 150 )


ADAM AND JACOB PARALEL-The subject goes back to Genesis, a story relating to the serpent (i.e. Belial)

ü  Observe the parallelism.  When the serpent brought curses upon the world God said to Adam;” Because thou hast hardened unto the voice of thy wife    cursed is the ground for thy sake.etc.” Meaning that it should not bring forth fruit of any vegetation in proper measure. Corresponding to this curse we have here the blessing, “ o f the Fat of the earth”  Again, there it is written  “ In toil thou shalt eat it”  here comes the corrective, “ of the dew  of heaven”  There it says; “ Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth unto thee”  Here, “and plenty of corn and wine”. There we have “  In the sweat of thy face thou shalt eat bread” Here, “Let peoples serve, and nations bow down to thee”, tilling the earth and cultivating the field, as it is written; “And aliens shall be your plowmen and your vine dressers” Jacob thus turned each curse into a blessing, and what he took was his own, God brought all this about so that Jacob should remain attached to his own place and portion’ 
WHAT LIKENESS?
From the commentary above we note that “I wake up in thy likeness” (Ps 17; 150) refers to Jacob who woke up in the image of God as if to take the place of Adam, made in the image of God.
Isaiah 45; 11-12 Thus saith the LORD , the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.  I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.    
  *created man. The word here for man is Adam
The Book of Isaiah speaks a graven image which is not like other images. It  is likened to God, noting he sits on the circle of the Earth
Isaiah 40; 18-22 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?   man melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image,  that shall not be moved. …: Heb. is poor of oblation} Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath I t not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in. the earth. he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth
·       from the beginning? *The word “ beginning comes from the root of the Hebrew word “Rayshith” meaning face
Genesis 1,1-3 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters… have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth
ü  The foundation stone-Shitayah stone….he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth,The Zohar tells us; the Microprosophus lays on the sh’thyiah stone in Zion. Under it are three circles, one being called “the circle of the earth”. ..So he (the microprosophus) sitteth upon the stone, which sitteth upon the circle of the earth.

The Vision of Jacob is part of the very core of Judaism and yet remains a mystery. When the vision is solved the Qumran code will be broken. This scroll lets us know more about Jacob’s Vision. Jacob saw a celestial Temple with star men offering Yom Kipper sacrifices. He would have built a Temple in Jerusalem but the Angel told him he would go on to another place. THE VISION OF JACOB 4QAJa—4Q537   
The Vision of Jacob explains Jacob saw in the Vision
1. An angel come down from heaven /can be seen in the ladder -pyramid
The days of his life / can be seen in the Zodiac
Priests at the alter / are demonstrated in the Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifices
Paraphrase:4Q537Frag.1
[Then I had a vision at night. An angel of God came down from heaven with seven tablets in his hand. He told me, "God Most High has blessed you, and] 1 your later generations[6]. All just and upright men will survive [...and no more] 2 evil [will be done]; lying should not be found among [...] 3 Now, take the tablets and read everything [that is written on them." So I took the tablets and read. There were written all my sufferings,] 4 troubles and everything that would happen to me [during the one hundred and forty seven] years of my life. [Then he told me," Take] this tablet." [...] 5 [So] I took that tablet [and ... read everything on it.] I saw that it said [no temple should be built in this place,] 6 [...

1. AN ANGEL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN
The angel that comes down from heaven is Orion. This is hinted at in the statement from Morels and Dogmas.;

Orion is visible to all  the habitable world. The equinoctial line passes through the center of it. When Alderman rose in the East, the three Kings in Orion followed him; as Taurus set the Scorpion , by whose sting it was said Orion died rose in the East.

. Revelation 20

 1.  And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
 2.  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

ABOUT THE PICTURE
 The Serpent holder/Orion is the star “angel come down from heaven”
 The line depicts his fall to “ the bottomless pit
the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. The key allowed Orion to escape and the descending chamber forms a line to represent a chain.
He laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan.  He is holding Serpentarius on of the seven heads of Draco the dragon , which represents the Devil and Satan



3.  And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.



ABOUT THE PICTURE

shut him up, and set a seal upon him
Cetus the celestial sea monster has two stars whose names tell us the story.  

*      Menkar = The chained enemy
Tells us to picture a chain going to Orion’s hand from that point.
*      Deneb Kaitos = overthrown or thrust down
This is the seal upon the serpent.

*      The word Alef (in addition to meaning Chief and One as discussed earlier) means Ox and Thousand. Hence the term a thousand years” can be seen in Taurus.
*      Thousand The letter “alef” which means thousand in the ancient Hebrew script was the form of the Ox head. So we can see the word “thousand “ when looking at Taurus.Taurus was a symbol of the New Year, so we can see the word “year” by looking at Taurus.


PLAY
*      The teacher of the Thanksgiving Hymns  is “an edifice of dust” (5:20-21) Adam was made out of dust, so all men are made from dust or clay. One might think the repeated reference used in the text to one made from clay is a therefore man. To Rabbis in the Zohar, repetition is a cause for inquiry. So we might guess something else is meant in the text. In the following we quote some of the verses and see how they relate to the image of the face of Jacob.
*      And I know that there is hopefor someone you fashion out of clay to be an everlasting community.
*      The clay image of Jacob is to be the everlasting community of Israel
*      And I, a creature of clay, what am I? Mixed with water, with whom am I counted What is my strength ?
The clay image is counted as the image of God who is his strength
Through me have You illumined the faces of full many, and countless be the times You have shown Your power through m~ For You have made known unto me Your deep, mysterious things, have shared Your secret with me and so shown forth Your power; and before the eyes of full many this token stands revealed, that Your glory may be shown forth, and all living know of Your power. Yet, never could flesh alone attain unto this, nor that which is molded of clay do wonders so great
The clay image is not human so flesh alone could not do these things
a vessel of clay and kneaded with water, a foundation of shame and a spring of filth, a melting pot of iniquity and a structure of sin, a spirit of error, perverted without understanding and terrified by righteous judgment (9:21-23)
The clay image as Jerusalem is a structure of sin
A Voice to lead the people in the way / The Face of Jacob also Known as Asaph
Scripture tell’s us there is a testimony in Jacob ; this testimony will gather God’s elect.
So it is that David called the face under the code name Asaph ,meaning the gatherer

Asaph

In book entitled the Hiram Key  the author discuses a The Assumption of Moses..
The mysterious figure Taxo appears. He urges his sons to retire to a cave to die there rather than be disloyal to their faith. Their death is to be the trigger for the expected intervention of God in history and in the establishment of His kingdom. This kingdom appears to be the heavenly kingdom rather than one that is established on earth .Many attempts have been made to identify Taxo with a historical character, but none have been successful so far. Some writers have attempted to identify him with the Teacher of Righteousness…But it was the mention of an unidentified character called “Taxo” that excited us We already know that Taxo and Tacho are the same name, and that the  Atbash cipher (*Note Atbash code is a method of folding over the alphabet and substituting  letters) translates Tacho to Asaph-the man who assisted Solomon at the building of the first temple and the name used by Free Masons for the Grand Master.
ASAPH+THE GATHERER
The Dead Sea Scrolls tell us that all David’s Psalms were given by the spirit of God. David brought his Psalms to Asaph. Asaph was referred to as the Choirmaster.
The Scroll notes the Psalm 45  and its designation to Asaph.
“ Addressed to the choirmaster” Col.4 states - thus denoting Asaph. The commentary goes on and identifies Asaph as the teacher of righteousness. It does so by dividing Psalms 45 in two parts to help veil the testimony. But since both parts are speaking of Asaph , the choirmaster it follows that Asaph is the teacher.
Below we have placed the Psalm in bold type with the fragmented commentary of Qumran below.
Psalms 45;1a My heart is [astir] a good matter: I address my poem to the king
This refers to…holy spirit, for[…] books of […]
Psalms451b My tongue is the pen of [an adept scribe.]
This refers to the teacher of [Righteousness …]God gave with an eloquent tongue.
Although parts are missing we can easily unravel the riddle in relationship to the face of the Microprsophus which we have also called the face of Jacob.

Noting Psalms from the KJV we note the following line vs.2
Psalms 45
 1.  My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
 2.  Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
In other words Asaph is not of the children of men ..he is not human.

The text seems to be telling us that teacher has a tongue is the pen of [an adept scribe.] and therefore speaks under the unction of the holy spirit.
We discern that David is the adept scribe who according to Qumran received all his psalms under the unction of the holy spirit.
In time the Temple would be built in the position of the tongue of the imaga and the levites would sing on the porch therefore giving a voice to the image.
The Hebrew word for  porch is Ulam and also means hold your tongue.
During David’s day the tabernacle was placed on the mount which we presume had the Levites sing from the same spot. In fact the Tabernacle was built in relation ship to the human tongue. It had a two third to one third ratio with the oracle being in back just like the human tongue.
The Tabernacle and Temple both sat in relationship to the face which also had the image of a left hand under it , reminding us of the words. If I forget the Jerusalem , I have engraved thee on the palm of my hand. This explains why in relating to the image David was able to deliver the psalm to the hand of asaph.
In context this should really mean he had the Levites sing in the position of the image. The first psalm reads as follows;
Psalm7-36  Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the Lord into the hand of Asaph and his brethren. Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.  Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;  O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth. Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations  Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it. And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people; He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes  Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation. Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.  For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.  For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place. Give unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in beauty of holiness. Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.  Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The Lord reigneth..  Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.  Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the Lord, because he cometh to judge the earth..  O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for ever And ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the Lord.

 The Scroll starts out…the heavens and the earth will listen to His Messiah
We know that Jesus (Y’shua) had the geneology to be the Messiah, and of him it was said,
 “What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him “(Matt 8:27 KJV.)
John the Baptist questioned, to see if Jesus was the Holy One, “Art thou he that should come?”
*      These and other ideas written in the New Testament have caused Christians to see this scroll as speaking about Jesus. It follows that Jesus must be the Teacher of Righteousness



States the following about scroll 4Q421         in the Dead Sea Scrolls


We now have an unambiguous statement that “raising the dead” was one of the key expectations of the Messianic age in this community.
Line 11 of this text also contains another highly striking feature. Indeed, it appears to be the closest and most direct linguistic parallel to a New Testament text that we have yet discovered. The line reads:
        For he will heal the wounded, resurrect the dead,
and proclaim glad tiding to the poor.
In both Matthew and Luke we read of a deputation that John the Baptist sends to Jesus while John is imprisoned. John’s …Jesus answers:
        Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have the glad tiding preached to them (Luke 7:22-23 and Matthew 11:4-5).


[the hea]vens and the earth will listen to His Messiah, and none therein will stray from the commandments of the holy ones.
Seekers of the Lord, strengthen yourselves in His service!
All you hopeful in (your) heart, will you not find the Lord in this?
For the Lord will consider the pious (hasidim) and call the righteous by name.
Over the poor His spirit will hover and will renew the faithful with His power.
And He will glorify the pious on the throne of the eternal Kingdom.
He who liberates the captives, restores sight to the blind, straightens the b[ent]
And f[or] ever I will cleav[ve to the h]opeful and in His mercy . . .
And the fr[uit . . .] will not be delayed for anyone.
And the Lord will accomplish glorious things which have never been as [He . . .]
For He will heal the wounded, and revive the dead and bring good news to the poor
. . .He will lead the uprooted and knowledge . . . and smoke (?)

Seekers of the Lord, strengthen yourselves in His service!
All you hopeful in (your) heart, will you not find the Lord in this?
may be interpreted “Seekers of the Lord” (Christians) will you not find the Lord (Jesus) in this (5Q 521)  This scrolls speak of Jesus and no one else.



Jesus accomplished liberated the captives restored sight to the blind. And it was said, “It was never so seen in Israel”


·       Matthew 9 25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

Since Jesus did that which was never done and the Teacher did so. It follows that they must be the same. Jesus is the teacher!



This quote is from

·               Isaiah 61The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."

But something more is happening here. “revive the dead”, is not read in any currant translation of this text. These words are not in the Isaiah quote but are in 5Q 521.and Matthew 11:19

·       And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?.... 22Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached

Again, Jesus quotes from the verse ands claims to be the fulfilment and therefore the Messiah.

·       Luke 4 (17) The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: (18) The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, (19) to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."(20) Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him...  and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."




While the lineage of the Messiah had to come through the seed of David. Legally this proceeded through Solomon to Joseph, the adopted Father of Jesus. But Joseph could not have ruled due to a curse placed on the seed of his forefather Johiokim.
·       Jeremiah 2218 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah…29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.30 Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.

·       The problem solved was that Joseph adopted Jesus, as his son, legally the King.
·       Jesus through had been born through the seed of the woman Mary.  .
·        Since it was required that the Messiah must be of the seed of David and also from the seed of a woman. Mary’s lineage going back to David through Nathan is shown.


Royal Psalms 4Q380, 4Q381-This scroll addressing end time Israel indicates the importance of “the seven spirits.”

You have many judges, and witnesses without number, except...He will send his seven spirits to give you reliable decisions. Is there understanding? Then learn…


Today Israel does not officially accept God. A new form of higher critism has arrived saying that the Bible is not true. A declaration is to come forward. It is to be received by Israel because “It is the truth”.
Isaiah 43:9.  Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

This message is to be delivered by messengers and a servant.
Isaiah 43: 10.  Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

Q. But how is Israel to recognize it when it comes?
A. The answer is obvious. It is the only truth that will save. The message will save Israel and at the same time fulfill major prophecies. Since there is no other available plan that will do this, Israel must follow the Lord’s plan. Therefore Israel is told. “bring forth your messengers or else hear and say, it is the truth.”
This truth will cause the remnant to return Isa.20-22.  And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy  One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
Q. How is this truth established? A. The law requires two or three witnesses to establish truth.  If two messengers come with the Microprosophus, which is called the face of Jacob; then you will have two or three witnesses. The message requires witnesses plus one called “my servant” who witness that the Lord is God.
 Isa; 43 :10.-12.  Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord; beside me there is no saviour. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God
 Incense is mentioned  Isa;43 :22.  But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.  Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense. Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities. I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches

The Coming of Melchizedek (11 Q 1 3) Teacher Messiah, like Jesus, linked with Daniel’s calendars
The visitation is the Day of Salvation that He has decreed through Isaiah the prophet concerning all the captives, inasmuch as Scripture says, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace, who brings good news, who announces salvation, who says to Zion "Your divine being reigns"." (Isa. 52;7) This scriptures interpretation : "the mountains" are the prophets, they who were sent to proclaim God's truth and to prophesy to all Israel. "The messengers" is the Anointed of the spirit, of whom Daniel spoke; "After the sixty-two weeks, an Anointed shall be cut off" (Dan. 9;26) The "messenger who brings good news, who announces Salvation" is the one of whom it is written; "to proclaim the year of the LORD`s favor, the day of the vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn" (Isa. 61;2)
*      This means the Teacher died Passover 30 AD
Clarence Larkin writes that Daniels Calendars finished  Sunday April 2, AD. Allowing the Messiah to come as this was the Day Jesus proclaimed he was the Messiah in fulfill met of Psalm 118. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. It was because of this proclamation that Jesus was cut off ( crucified)  on Passover
*      The "Seventy Weeks" are divided into "THREE PERIODS" of 7 Weeks, and 62 Weeks, and 1 Week. They cover the time from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem, which was the 14th day of the month Nisan (March) B. C. 445, to the Second Stage (The Revelation) of the Second Coming of Christ. The "First Period," 7 WEEKS, refers to the time required to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, which was 49 years, thus giving us the "Key" to the meaning of the word "WEEK," for if 7 WEEKS are equal to 49 YEARS, then 1 WEEK is equal to 7 YEARS. Now we are told that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem B. C. 445) unto the "MESSIAH THE PRINCE," shall be 7 WEEKS, and THREESCORE AND TWO WEEKS, or 69 WEEKS, or, if 1 WEEK is equal to 7 YEARS, 7 x 69 or 483 YEARS. Now Jesus, as "MESSIAH THE PRINCE," rode in triumph into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, April 2, A. D. 30. The difference in time between B. C. 445 and A. D. 30 is 475 years, but, as we have seen, 69 WEEKS equal 483 years, a difference of 8 years. How are we to explain this difference?  The 475 years between B. C. 445 and A. D. 30, are Julian or Astronomical years of 365¼ days each, but when we reduce them to Calendar years of 360 days each, the year used in the Scriptures, we find that we have exactly 483 years of 360 days each. This proves that there was no break between the "First" and "Second" Periods of the "Seventy Weeks," and that the prophecy that there should be 69 WEEKS to the coming of "MESSIAH THE PRINCE" was literally fulfilled

Commentaries on Isaiah (4Ql6l-l65) Identifies Zadokites as giving voice to face of Jacob through the Dead Sea Scrolls


The Last Days: A Commentary on Selected Verses (4Ql74) Tribes fly to mount Zion and are the ‘Poor and Meek’ of the Yahad
Col. I (Frgs. 1-3) (FROM INTERNET). . . [I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them in order that they may dwell there and no more be troubled by their] enemies. No son of iniquity [will afflict them again] as before, from the day that 2 [I set judges] over my people Israel (2 Sam 7:10). This is the house which [       in the] last days according as it is written in the book 3 [             the sanctuary, O Lord,] which your hands have established, Yahweh shall reign for ever and ever (Exod 15:17-18) This is the house in which [    ] shall not enter there 4 [   f]orever, nor the Ammonite, the Moabite, nor the bastard, nor the foreigner, nor the stranger forever because there shall be the ones who bear the holy name 5 [f]orever. Continually it will appear above it. And strangers will no longer destroy it as they previously destroyed 6 the sanctuary of Israel because of its sins. He commanded that a sanctuary of men be built for himself in order to offer up to him like the smoke of incense 7 the works of the Law. And according to his words to David, (2 "And I [will give] you [rest] from all your enemies" (2 Sam 7:11). This means that he will give them rest from a[ll] 8 the sons of Belial, who cause them to stumble to destroy them [       ] according as they come with a plan of [B]el[i]al to cause the s[ons of] 9 light to stumble, to think upon them wicked plans in order to deli[ver] his [s]oul to Belial in their w[ic]ked error. 10 [And] Yahweh has [de]clared to you that he will build you a house (2 Sam 7:11c). I will raise up your seed after you (2 Sam 7:12). I will establish the throne of his kingdom 11 f[orever] (2 Sam 7:13). I wi[ll be] a father to me and he shall be a son to me (2 Sam 7:14). He is the branch of David who will arise with the interpreter of the Law who 12 [      ] in Zi[on in the la]st days according as it is written: "I will raise up the tent of 13 David that has falle[n] (Amos 9:11), who will arise to save Israel. 14 An in[ter]pretation of "Blessed is [the] man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked" (Ps 1:1). Interpretation of the wor[d concerns] those who depart from the way [       ] 15 which is written in the Book of Isaiah the prophet for the last [d]ays, "It happened that with a strong [hand he turned me aside from walking on the path] of 16 this people" (Isa 8:11). And they are those about whom it is written in the Book of Ezekiel the prophet, "[They should] not [defile themselves any longer with all] 17 their idols (Ezek 37:23; see 44:10). These are the sons of Zadok and the m[e]n of his his cou[ns]el [    ] after them to the council of the community. 18 "[Why] do the nations [rag]e and the people im[agine] a vain thing? [Kings of the earth] ris[e up] and [and p]rinces conspire together against Yahweh and against [his anointed] (Ps 2:1-2). 19 [In]terpretation of the saying [concerns na]tions and th[ey    ] the chosen of Israel in the last days.
Col. 2 (Frgs. 1-3)1 This is the time of the trial that c[omes J]udah to complete [      ] 2 Belial, and a remnant will remain [l]ot and they do all the Law [      ] 3 Moses. It is [       a]s it is written in the Book of Daniel, "The wicked [act wickedly]" 4a and the righteous [       shall be made wh]ite and be purified (Dan 12:10) And a people who know God will remain strong [       ] . After [      ] which is for them [       ] in their descent
