The Christ of the Cross

However, both the "Gospel Pesher" and the

"Torah Codes" reveal that the "cross" was

only temporary suffering before Christ's

real mission began....the living then, and

still living Christ should be our major focus!

Another ignored Dead Sea Scroll is about Ascension!

And, if one looks closely, its about UFO's also!

Travelling through TIME and to OTHER WORLDS!

So far, there is only ONE human being Who has

really done that and returned to talk about it

convincingly! However, as usual, Dead Sea Scrolls

reserchers have mislabeled this scroll also. ..........

Neither a LIVING Christ nor even a REAL Christ

fit into the plans of a modern world!

HE is here.....WAITING for someone

to TALK TO [ in CODE!].............................

......"(El Elyon gave me a seat among) those perfect forever, a mighty

throne in the congregation of the gods.....None of the kings of the east

shall sit in it and their nobles shall not (come near to it). ...No Edomite

shall be like me in glory, and none shall be exalted save me, nor come

against me...

......For I have taken my seat in the (congregation) in the heavens

And none (find fault with me). ...I shall be reckoned with gods and

established in the holy congregation. ...I do not desire (gold,) as

would a man of flesh; everything precious to me is in the glory of

(my God).

......(The status of a holy temple,) not to be violated, has been

attributed to me, and who can compare with me in glory? ...What

voyager will return and tell (of my equivalent) ...Who (laughs) at

griefs as I do? ...And who is like me (in bearing) evil?

.....Moreover, if I lay down the law in a lecture (my instruction) is

beyond comparison (with any man's). ...And who will attack me for

my utterances? ...And who will contain the flow of my speech?

And who will call me into court and be my equal? ...In my legal

judgement (none will stand against) me. ...I shall be reconed with

gods, and my glory, with (that of) the king's sons. ...Neither refined

gold, nor gold of Ophir (can match my wisdom)."

Once again, to a sensible, logical person, who also

happens to be a Christian, this scroll could only

refer to Jesus Christ, and to NO OTHER...It makes

all the claims that Jesus made, and that billions of

people believe that He and only He is entiltled to!

But again, the professional critics cannot even

entertain the possibility that this scroll refers to

Jesus, because it only partly matches the claims the

"Church" has made for Jesus, complete divinity,

equality with God, and doesn't support the "Trinity"!

Let's first read what Martin Abegg, Jr. has to say to avoid linking

this scroll to Jesus in The Dead Sea Scrolls, A New Translation,

then I will do my best to show you why it could only refer to Jesus!

Page 167, bottom of page..............4Q491 (4QMilhamah)

"In the publication by the original editors, the fragments of 4Q491 were considered to

be the remains of a single work...This work was thought to be a form of the War Scroll,

one with extensive portions that found no exact match in the Cave 1 copy. ...A recent

thorough study of the evidence, however, suggests that 4Q491 is instead three distinct

manuscriptd. ...The original editors had been deceived by the similar appearance of

these manuscripts and had mistakenly grouped the three texts together."

........."Thus recognized, the manuscripts can now be characterized as follows...

Manuscript A represents a text that is similar to the Cave 1 copy, but with a fuller

representation of the seven engagements of the troops in the final battle...

B appears to be a shorter, "Reader's Digest" form of the Cave 1 composition...

Manuscript C [the one we are concerned with here] comprises a hymn that

is not even related to the War Scroll. ...Rather, it is related to the Thanksgiving

Psalms (text 3)."

........"The original publication of Manuscript C's poem suggested it was spoken

by the Archangel Michael (cf. Dan. 10:13; Rev. 12:7), who features prominently

in the War Scroll (1QM 17:6-7). ...The recently available manuscripts from Cave

4, however, now show that this notion is mistaken. ...Instead, the identity of the

speaker here must be directly connected to that of the speaker in the Thanksgiving

Psalms, in the form of address in both places. ..Moreover, in both poems the author

makes the fantastic claim that none can be compared to him, because he is on equal

footing with the heavenly beings (probably to be understood as angels)! . ...If it is

concluded that the Teacher of Righteousness wrote the Thanksgiving Psalms,

he penned Manuscript C's text as well."

In summary, Scholar Abegg has thoughtfully saved his

fellow scholars embarassment and conflict with the

"Church" by attributing this "hymn" to someone no-

one has ever been able to identify, and probably never

will...a possibly fictitious or composite "Teacher of

Righteousness"....not to Jesus Christ, the obvious

choice!

First I'll let Saint Paul of the New Testament speak...As someone whose

CREDENTIALS are not often questioned by Christians of every church!

Philippians 2:6-11 "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery

to be equal with god: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him

the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found

in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death,

even the death of the cross....

.....Wherefore God has also highly exalted him, and given him a name which

is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of

things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that

every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God

the Father."

Now let's ignore for the time being the CROSS routine, which every Christian knows ad

nauseum by now, and compare the SECOND HALF of Paul's "creed" with 4Q491 ii.1.

Scholar Abegg says, and I quote .."in both poems the

author makes the fantastic claim that none can be com-

pared to him, because he is on equal footing with

heavenly beings..."could it be that Scholar Abegg is

totally ignorant of Paul's claims for Jesus in the New

Testament? It seems these "consensus scholars" have been in a

completely closed conversation with each other so long that they might

as well be living on some other planet than this one!

Once again, if we have been made in the "Image of God"..."I think, therefore I AM", and

are changing for the BETTER...."I AM what I am BECOMING"...We can use logical

thinking here, and ASSUME Paul had a copy of 4Q491 ii.1 before him as he composed

2 Philippians 2:6-11, and after starting out with his favorite subject, the "Cross of Christ",

then quoted 4Q491 ii.1 rewording it slightly for brevity and better Greek syntax....

Why would he do that?...Because he knew Jesus wrote it, and he believed Jesus had

the experience He described, and took the "trip" up into the heavens he said he

did, one that no other voyager had taken.

......In support of this odd claim, no doubt quite "fantastic" to all of these professional

critics, let me point out this is not the only time Paul spoke of such things, if indeed I

am correct in my supposition.....Reminiscing in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4, he says....

"I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body,

I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

such as one caught up to the third heaven...And I knew such a man,

(whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

......How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable

words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

......Of such a one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in

mine infirmities." Admittedly, Paul is here being even more "hard to understand"

than usual, but seems to be describing exactly the "trip" described in 4Q491 ii.1...

In spite of, or perhaps because of all this verbal dodging, one can suppose that Paul

not only knew Jesus took such a "trip" but that Paul took a similar trip himself, the

"hint" being that he rather awkwardly repeats the description of this experience!

My conclusion, both Jesus and Paul and possibly

Peter were TIME-SPACE Travelers.......

They had first-hand experience of what they wrote!

Forever and ever!Amen and Amen!
