The Temple Scroll was found in cave #11 amongst the Dead Sea Scroll finds; and has been revealed in the last days for the children of YAHWEH to return fully to the ancient path. We will be discussing supporting evidence as to why the Temple Scroll should not be avoided!
The Dead Sea Scrolls magazine (Special edition) page 12 says:
“This scroll (Temple Scroll), nearly thirty feet long, had been copied several times at Qumran, indicating that it was considered a KODESH (SET-APART) BOOK. It contains elaborate plans for the building of the Jewish Temple, and it’s overriding characteristic is STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE LAW, WHICH IS SPELLED OUT EXPLICITLY. The laws, pertaining to the city of the Temple, include instruction on furniture, utensils, sacrifices, personal hygiene, and separation of people according to gender, health, and standing with the community. The Temple Scroll also refers to some festivals and set-apart days not mentioned in scripture, such as the New Wine Festival, the New Oil Festival, and the Wood Offering Festival. The frequent use of the FIRST PERSON WHEN ELOHIM SPEAKS IS ANOTHER INDICATION that this scroll is related to the Pentateuch (The first five books of the Bible, called the Torah of Moses.)
TheTorah.com says:
“What is “Torah” in Second Temple Texts?”
“In the Second Temple Period, “Torah” was NOT LIMITED to the Five Books of Moses. The BOOK OF JUBILEES AND THE TEMPLE SCROLL saw themselves as “TORAH,” while Qumran’s Community rule and Damascus Document claim that their own sectarian rules likewise constituted Torah.”
An interesting article written in 1987 on the Temple Scroll says:
Is the Temple Scroll a Sixth Book of the Torah—Lost for 2,500 Years? Hartmut Stegemann, BAR 13:06, Nov-Dec 1987. : Center for Online Judaic Studies
The Dead Sea Scrolls
“The Temple Scrolls is the longest and, in my view, clearly the MOST IMPORTANT of the preserved Dead Sea Scrolls. It was composed, I believe as an addition or, still better, a supplement to the Pentateuch, as a SIXTH BOOK OF THE TORAH, ON THE SAME LEVEL OF AUTHORITY AS GENESIS, EXODUS, LEVITICUS, NUMBERS, AND DEUTERONOMY.”
I want to cover some evidence in support of the Temple Scroll and keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list!
Firstly, we know YAHWEH says:
Deuteronomy 4:2 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“In order to obey the commandments of YAHWEH your ELOHIM which I am giving you, do not ADD to what I am saying, and DO NOT SUBRACT FROM IT.”
Most believers are quick to say that someone has “added” to the Torah when it’s something that is new to them! However, if the same statement is being made of us “adding” to the Torah, then the same question is equally as valid for them, how do you know that commands have not been TAKEN AWAY? Nowhere in scripture is it stated that the Torah is ONLY Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy! That is something we have all been taught and accepted as factual without even questioning it.
2 Kings 23:25 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“No previous king was like him; because he turned to YAHWEH with all his heart, with all his being and with all his power, in ACCORDANCE WITH ALL THE TORAH OF MOSES; nor did any king like him arise afterwards.”
Luke 24:44 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“YESHUA said to them, “This what I meant when I was still with you and told you that everything written about Me in THE TORAH OF MOSHE, the Prophets and the Psalms had to be fulfilled.”
Ezra 7:6
“this ‘Ezra went up from Bavel. He was a scribe, expert in the TORAH OF MOSHE, which YAHWEH the ELOHIM of Yisra’el had given…”
Nowhere in scripture does it say the Torah was limited to those five books, but rather the Torah of Moshe! The Book of Jubilees features Moses receiving the TORAH on Mount Sinai and the Temple Scroll features Moses again with the statement:
Temple Scroll Column 44:5 page 205
“All that is to the right and to the left of the gate of Levi, you shall allot to AARON, YOUR BROTHER…”
This is YAHWEH speaking first person to Moses whose brother was Aaron.
And we know that the Zadok Priest in Qumran considered Jubilees and the Temple Scroll as TORAH! Again, “thetorah.com” says:
“What is “Torah” in Second Temple Texts?”
“In the Second Temple Period, “Torah” WAS NOT LIMITED TO THE FIVE BOOKS OF MOSES. The book of JUBILEES AND THE TEMPLE SCROLL saw themselves as “TORAH.”
In my opinion it would make sense that there would be 7 books of the Torah as we know that the number 7 represents perfection and completion.
Ponder upon this statement that YAHWEH makes to His people!
Hosea 8:12 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“I write him so many things from MY TORAH, yet he considers THEM FOREIGN.”
YAHWEH has written for us so many things from His Torah, yet they are foreign to many of us because they are written in other books like Jubilees and the Temple Scroll that garner no attention. This leads to people saying they are unclear on a lot of YAHWEH’s Torah, but the answers have been given to us in these other books, which is why the Zadok Priests say in the Damascus Document:
Damascus Document (Ken Johnson’s translation) page 31
“The Wall Builders blasphemy grieved the RUACH HA’KODESH when they spoke against the statutes of ELOHIM’s covenant, saying that they WERE NOT SPECIFIC ENOUGH. THEY CONSTANTLY SPEAK ABOMINATIONS AGAINST THE STATUTES.”
Damascus Document (Vermes translation) page 133, Chapter 5
“Furthermore, they DEFILE THEIR RUACH HA’KODESH and open their mouth with a blaspheming tongue AGAINST THE LAWS of the Covenant of ELOHIM saying, ‘THEY ARE NOT SURE.’
In other words, there are no gray areas in the Torah! YAHWEH has already told us what to do! Which again matches the Dead Sea Scrolls magazine I quoted in the introduction:
The Dead Sea Scrolls magazine (Special edition) page 12 says:
“This scroll (Temple Scroll), nearly thirty feet long, had been copied several times at Qumran, indicating that it was considered a KODESH (SET-APART) BOOK. It contains elaborate plans for the building of the Jewish Temple, and it’s overriding characteristic is STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE LAW, WHICH IS SPELLED OUT EXPLICITLY.”
Damascus Document (Ken Johnson)
“This brought down the ancient hills by departing from righteousness and moving the landmarks of the ancients in their inheritance. Then the curses of the covenant took hold on them, delivering them to the sword to avenge the breaches of the covenant. These “SEEKERS OF SMOOTH THINGS” chose DECEIT AND LOOPHOLES IN THE LAW.”
Damascus Document (Vermes) pg. 130
“For they SOUGHT SMOOTH THINGS and PREFERED ILLUSION (Isaiah 30:10) and WATCHED FOR BREAKS (Isaiah 30:13).”
Evidence for the Temple Scroll
Nehemiah 10:34-35 (Septuagint)
“And we cast lots for the office of WOOD BEARING, we the priests and the Levites and the people, TO BRING WOOD into the house of ELOHIM, according the HOUSE OF OUR FAMILIES AT CERTAIN SET TIMES, YEAR BY YEAR, to burn on the altar of YAHWEH our ELOHIM as it is WRITTEN IN THE LAW…”
Here we see that Nehemiah mentions a wood offering at a SET TIME, by families/Tribes, as it is WRITTEN IN THE LAW! The only question is, where in the first five books of Moshe is it written? It’s not! Where do we find it?
Vermes translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls version of the Temple Scroll is fragmented but still contains it on page 198-199 and 205. Page 205 is the clearest portion which reads:
“On the days of the firstfruits of the corn, of the wine, and the oil, and at the FESTIVAL OF THE OFFERING WOOD.”
The Temple Scroll (The Dead Sea Scrolls) translated by Charlesworth page 307
Column 23
“And AFTER the appointed time of the fresh oil (New oil), they shall present at the altar THE WOOD, the twelve clans of the sons of Yisra’el. And they shall be presenting (it) on the first day, the clans of Levi and Judah; and on the second day, Benjamin and the sons of Joseph together, Ephraim and Manasseh; and on the third day, Reuben and Simeon; and on the fourth day, Issachar and Zebulon, and on the fifth day, Gad and Asher; and on the sixth day, Dan and Naphtali…and they shall present upon the wood a burnt-offering for YAHWEH…”
So, we have a perfect match of what Nehemiah said was written in the Torah:
“And we cast lots for the office of WOOD BEARING, we the priests and the Levites and the people, TO BRING WOOD into the house of ELOHIM, according the HOUSE OF OUR FAMILIES AT CERTAIN SET TIMES, YEAR BY YEAR, to burn on the altar of YAHWEH our ELOHIM as it is WRITTEN IN THE LAW…”
We see that WOOD was brought during a festival at a SET TIME which was immediately after NEW OIL on the 22nd day of the 6th month and by FAMILIES as we saw that 12 tribes presented wood (2 tribes a day) for 6 days as it is WRITTEN IN THE LAW and that law is according to the TEMPLE SCROLL.”
Nehemiah 13:31 (Septuagint)
“And the OFFERING OF THE WOOD BEARERS was at CERTAIN SET TIMES and the in the times of the first fruits. Remember me my ELOHIM for good.”
Another witness if found in the Dead Sea Scrolls:
The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls (Vermes translation) page 477 (Fragment 23)
“When you enter the land which I am giving to you as an inheritance, and you dwell upon it securely you shall BRING WOOD for a burnt offering and for all the service of the House of which you shall build for Me in the land, to lay it on the altar of burnt-offering, and the calves…for Passover sacrifices and peace-offerings and thank-offerings and free-will offerings and burnt-offerings daily…and for the doors and for all the service of the House you shall offer…THE FESTIVAL OF OIL, the twelve tribes THEY SHALL OFFER WOOD…Those who offer on the first day shall be Levi and…on the third day, Rueben and Simeon, and on the fourth day…”
Firstly, this fragment is acknowledges and confirms the Temple Scroll and we can easily fill in the fragmented portions with what we read from the Temple Scroll. AFTER “the festival of oil”, the twelve tribes they shall offer wood…those who offer on the first day shall be Levi and JUDAH…!
YAHWEH speaking in First Person
Nehemiah 1:8-9 (Septuagint)
“Remember please, the word with which you charged your servant MOSHEH saying, if you break covenant with Me, I will disperse you among the nations. But if you turn again to Me and keep My commandments and do them; if you are scattered under the utmost bound of heaven there I will gather them and I will bring them into the place which I have chosen to cause My Name to dwell there.”
Nehemiah is quoting Deuteronomy 30, except there is a difference. In Deuteronomy 30 records YAHWEH speaking in the THIRD PERSON, but Nehemiah is quoting YAHWEH as speaking in the FIRST PERSON! Again, the Special Edition magazine of the Dead Sea Scrolls said:
. “The frequent use of the FIRST PERSON WHEN ELOHIM SPEAKS IS ANOTHER INDICATION that this scroll is related to the Pentateuch (The first five books of the Bible, called the Torah of Moses.)”
Deuteronomy 30:1-4 (All translations)
“When the time arrives that all these things have come upon you, both the blessing and the curse which I have presented to you; and you are there among the nations to which YAHWEH your ELOHIM has driven you; then, at last, you will start thinking about what has happened to you; 2 and you will return to YAHWEH your ELOHIM and pay attention to what he has said, which will be exactly what I am ordering you to do today — you and your children, with all your heart and all your being. 3 At that point, YAHWEH your ELOHIM will reverse your exile and show you mercy; he will return and gather you from all the peoples to which YAHWEH your ELOHIM scattered you. 4 If one of yours was scattered to the far end of the sky, YAHWEH your ELOHIM will gather you even from there; he will go there and get you.”
How does it read in the Temple Scroll?
The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls (Vermes) page 215 Column 59
“Afterwards they shall return to Me with all their heart and all their soul, in conformity with all the words of this law, and I will save them from the hand of their enemies and redeem them from the hand of those who hate them, and I will bring them to the land of their fathers. I will redeem them, and increase them and exult over them. I will be their ELOHIM and they shall be My people.”
Don’t come near a woman!
Exodus 19:14-15 (Samaritan)
“And Moshe went down from the Mountain to the people, and consecrated the people. And they washed their garments. And he said to the people, be ready for the THREE DAYS, DO NOT APPROACH A WOMAN.”
Exodus 19:15 (Septuagint)
“And he said to the people, Be ready: FOR THREE DAYS DO NOT COME NEAR TO A WOMAN.”
They were about to enter the presence of YAHWEH and were told not to have sexual relations with a woman because we know that the act renders one unclean.
Leviticus 15:18 (Samaritan)
“And a woman, that her husband will lie with her having a seminal emission, THEY shall both bathe in water and be impure until evening.”
What does the Temple Scroll say?
Temple Scroll (Charlesworth translation) page 347 verses 11-12
“A man who lies with his wife having an ejaculation of semen, he shall NOT enter the entire city of the Sanctuary in which I shall allow My Name to dwell for THREE DAYS.”
The Septuagint agrees with Exodus and the Temple Scroll!
1 Samuel 21:4-5 (Septuagint)
“And the priest answered David and said, there are no common loaves under my hand, for I have none but set-apart loaves: if the young men have been kept AT LEAST FROM WOMEN, then they shall eat them. And David answered the priest and said to him, Yes, we have been KEPT FROM WOMEN FOR THREE DAYS…”
This matches what Moshe said to the children of Yisra’el to not have sexual relations with their wives for THREE DAYS because they would have not been able to be in YAHWEH’s presence for THREE DAYS as He commanded.
Commands for a king
1 Samuel 10:24-25 (Septuagint)
“And Samuel said to all the people, have you seen whom YAHWEH has chosen for Himself, that there is none like to him among you all? And all the people took notice and said, let the KING LIVE! And Samuel told the people the MANNER OF THE KING and WROTE IT IN A BOOK AND SET IT BEFORE YAHWEH…”
Samuel told people the manner of a king meaning the laws of the king and wrote them in a book and we can see that Samuel already knew what they were. Where do we find the laws concerning a king? In Deuteronomy 17, but we don’t have them all because the rest are in the Temple Scroll!
Deuteronomy 17:18-20 (All translations)
“When he (the king) has come to occupy the throne of his kingdom, he is to write a copy of THIS TORAH for himself in a SCROLL, from the one the priests and Levites use. 19 It is to remain with him, and he is to read in it every day, as long as he lives; so that he will learn to fear YAHWEH his ELOHIM and keep all the words of this Torah and these laws and obey them; 20 so that he will not think he is better than his kinsmen; and so that he will not turn aside either to the right or to the left from the mitzvah (commandment). In this way he will prolong his own reign and that of his children in Isra’el.”
This is exactly what Samuel the priest did! He wrote down the laws concerning the king to obey! However, the version we have is incomplete! If the king is to read from this portion of the Torah everyday, then that means there were more laws that he had to know than what we read in our version of Deuteronomy. The complete list is found in the Temple Scroll pages 213-215 and Chapters 56-58. I’ll give an example of a law of a king found in the Temple Scroll!
Complete Dead Sea Scrolls (Chapter 57:20 Temple Scroll page 214)
“And shall not COVET a field OR A VINEYARD, any riches or house, or anything desirable in Yisra’el. He shall not rob”
Isn’t there a king in scripture who coveted a VINEYARD something he desired which got a man killed?
1 Kings 21:1-8
“A while later, an incident occurred involving Navot the Yizre‘eli. He owned a VINEYARD in Yizre‘el, right next to the palace of ACH’AV KING of Shomron. 2 Ach’av spoke to Navot and said, “Give me your VINEYARD, so that I can have it as my vegetable garden, because it’s close to my palace. In exchange I will give you a better vineyard; or, if you prefer, I will give you its monetary value.” 3 But Navot said to Ach’av, “YAHWEH forbid that I should give you my ancestral heritage!” 4 Ach’av went home resentful and depressed at what Navot the Yizre‘eli had said to him, since he had said, “I won’t give you my ancestral heritage.” He lay down on his bed, turned his face away and refused to eat. 5 Izevel (Jezebel) his wife went and said to him, “Why are you so depressed that you refuse to eat?” 6 He answered her, “Because I spoke to Navot the Yizre‘eli and said to him, “Sell me your vineyard for money; or else, if you prefer, I will give you another vineyard for it”; but he answered, “I won’t give you my vineyard.” 7 “Are you the KING of Isra’el or not?” asked his wife Izevel. “Get up, eat some food, and cheer up! I will give you the vineyard of Navot the Yizre‘eli.”
Another example of a law for the king that is in the Temple Scroll but not in Deuteronomy 17 is:
Temple Scroll (Complete Dead Sea Scrolls) page 215
“If he (the king) goes to war against his enemies, one fifth of the people shall go with him, the warriors, all the mighty men of valor. They shall avoid everything unclean, everything shameful, every iniquity and guilt. He shall not go until he has presented himself before the HIGH PRIEST who shall inquire on his behalf for a DECISION BY THE URIM AND TUMMIN. It is at his word that he shall go and at his word that he shall come, he and all the children of Israel who are with him. He shall not go following after his heart’s counsel until he (the High Priest) has inquired a decision by the Urim and Tummin. He shall (then) succeed in all his ways in which he has set out according to the decision which…”
Notice that the king could not act independently in making a decision to go to war? He had to go to the high priest for a decision first, which matches what Judah said:
Testament of Judah 21:1-4 (12 Patriarchs)
“And now, my children, I command you, love LEVI, that you may stay, and do not exalt yourselves against him, lest you be utterly destroyed. For YAHWEH gave the kingdom to me, and the priesthood to him, and HE SET THE KINGDOM BENEATH THE PRIESTHOOD. He gave the things upon the earth to me; and the things IN THE HEAVENS TO HIM. As the heaven is higher than the earth, so IS THE PRIESTHOOD OF ELOHIM HIGHER THAN THE EARLTHLY KINGDOM, unless it falls away from YAHWEH through iniquity and is dominated by the earthly kingdom.”
Marrying a niece is forbidden
Rabbinic Judaism says that it is lawful for a man to marry his niece because it is not specified in Leviticus 18 laws, but that is NOT the case in the Temple Scroll.
Temple Scroll Column 66 page 220
“A man shall not take his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother, for this is abominable. A man shall not take his father’s sister or his mother’s sister, for this is immoral. A man shall NOT TAKE THE DAUGHTER OF HIS BROTHER OR THE DAUGHTER OF HIS SISTER for this is abominable.”
Again, the Zadok Priest in the Damascus Document understood this:
Covenant of Damascus 5:7 (Compete Dead Sea Scrolls page 133).
“And each man marries the DAUGHTER OF HIS BROTHER OR SISTER, whereas Moses said, You shall not approach your mother’s sister; she is your mother’s near kin (Leviticus 18:13). But although the laws against incest are written for men, they also apply to women. When, therefore, a brother’s daughter uncovers the nakedness of her father’s brother, she is also his near kin.”
Clean birds to eat!
In Leviticus 11 YAHWEH tells us what cattle and fish are clean and unclean, but we aren’t given a list of clean birds, but rather a list of the unclean only. We know for certain that in Exodus 16 and Numbers 11 YAHWEH sent quail into the camp for the Israelites to eat. However, the Temple Scroll lists two outside of quail:
Temple Scroll (The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls) page 203
“…There they SHALL EAT…THE BIRD, THE TURTLE-DOVE AND THE YOUNG PIGEONS…”
Temple Scroll (Charlesworth) pg. 333, Column 38:10
“There they SHALL EAT the purification-offerings of the fowl-TURTLE DOVES, AND THE YOUNG DOVES.”
This makes complete sense because only clean birds and animals can be sacrificed to YAHWEH and if they can be sacrificed, they are permissible for food:
Genesis 8:20 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“Noah built an altar to YAHWEH. Then he took from every CLEAN ANIMAL AND EVERY CLEAN BIRD, and he offered BURNT OFFERINGS ON THE ALTAR.”
Only clean animals and birds can be offered as a sacrifice to YAHWEH because unclean animals were forbidden for sacrifice. For example:
Exodus 13:13 (Septuagint)
“Every offspring opening the womb of the DONKEY you shall CHANGE FOR A SHEEP; and if you will not change it you shall redeem it: every firstborn of man of your sons you shall redeem.”
Exodus 13:14-15 (Septuagint)
“And if your son asks you hereafter saying, What is this? Then you shall say to him, with a strong hand YAHWEH brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. And when Pharaoh hardened his heart so as not to send us away, he killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast; there I SACFRICE EVERY OFFSPRING THAT OPEN THE WOMB, THE MALES TO YAHWEH and every firstborn of my sons I will redeem.:
The donkey is unclean and cannot be sacrificed to YAHWEH which is why the donkey had to be exchanged for a sheep which is a clean animal. So, what were the clean birds that Noah sacrificed in Genesis 8:20?
Jubilees 6:1-3
“ And on the new month of the third month he went forth from the ark, and built an altar on that mountain.
And he made atonement for the earth, and took a kid and made atonement by its blood for all the guilt of the earth; for everything that had been on it had been destroyed, save those that were in the ark with Noah.
And he placed the fat thereof on the altar, and he took an ox, and a goat, and a sheep and kids, and salt, and a TURTLE-DOVE, and the YOUNG OF A DOVE, and placed a burnt sacrifice on the altar, and poured thereon an offering mingled with oil, and sprinkled wine and strewed frankincense over everything, and caused a goodly savor to arise, acceptable before YAHWEH."
Genesis 15:7-10 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
7 Then he said to him, “I am YAHWEH, who brought you out from Ur-Kasdim to give you this land as your possession.” 8 He replied, “YAHWEH, ELOHIM, how am I to know that I will possess it?” 9 He answered him, “Bring me a three-year-old cow, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a DOVE and a YOUNG PIGEON.” 10 He brought him all these, cut the animals in two and placed the pieces opposite each other; but he didn’t cut the birds in half.”
Leviticus 1:14-17 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
‘If his offering to YAHWEH is a BURNT OFFERING OF BIRDS, he must offer a DOVE OR A YOUNG PIGEON. 15 The cohen (priest) is to bring it to the altar, snap off its head and make it go up in smoke on the altar; its blood is to be drained out on the side of the altar. 16 He is to remove the food pouch and its feathers from its neck and discard it on the pile of ashes just east of the altar. 17 He is to pull it open with a wing on each side, but without tearing it in half. The cohen is to make it go up in smoke on the altar, on the wood which is on the fire, as a burnt offering; it is an offering made by fire, a fragrant aroma for YAHWEH”.
Leviticus 12:6-8 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“‘When the days of her purification are over, whether for a son or for a daughter, she is to bring a lamb in its first year for a burnt offering and a YOUNG PIGEON OR DOVE for a sin offering to the entrance of the tent of meeting, to the cohen. 7 He will offer it before YAHWEH and make atonement for her; thus she will be purified from her discharge of blood. Such is the law for a woman who gives birth, whether to a boy or to a girl. 8 If she can’t afford a lamb, she is to take TWO DOVES or TWO YOUNG PIGEONS, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; the cohen will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’
Luke 2:22-24 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“When the time came for their purification according to the Torah of Moshe, they took him up to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) to present him to yahweh 23 (as it is written in the Torah of YAHWEH, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to yahweh”[a]) 24 and also to offer a sacrifice of a pair of DOVES or TWO YOUNG PIGEONS,[b] as required by the Torah of YAHWEH.”
The Torah has been lost before!
These are a few examples of the authority of the Torah in it’s fullness! Has the Torah been lost before? YES!
2 Kings 22:8-12
8 Hilkiyahu the cohen hagadol said to Shafan the secretary, “I have found the scroll of the Torah in the house of YAHWEH.” Hilkiyah gave the scroll to Shafan, who read it. 9 Then Shafan the secretary went back to the king and gave the king this report: “Your servants have poured out the money found in the house and handed it over to the people supervising the work in the house of YAHWEH.” 10 Shafan the secretary also told the king, “Hilkiyah the cohen hagadol gave me a scroll.” Then Shafan read it aloud before the king. 11 After the king had heard what was written in the scroll of the Torah, he tore his clothes. 12 Then the king issued this order to Hilkiyah the cohen, Achikam the son of Shafan, ‘Akhbor the son of Mikhayah, Shafan the secretary and ‘Asayah the king’s servant: 13 “Go; and consult YAHWEH for me, for the people and for all Y’hudah in regard to what is written in this scroll which has been found. For YAHWEH must be furious at us, since our ancestors did not listen to the words written in this scroll and didn’t do everything written there that concerns us.”
We all should tear our clothes and weep because we had not been obeying all of YAHWEH’s Torah! We now about the first day of the first month being a high-Shabbat, New Wine, New Oil, Wood offering, and the strict guidelines of YAHWEH’s Torah. But just as it was discovered during the days of Josiah, so has the full Torah been restored to us in these last days, which includes Jubilees and the Temple Scroll!
Even in the Damascus Document we see the Torah was sealed up in the Ark of the Covenant and was not available!
Covenant of Damascus 5:3
“David could not read the Book of the Law because it was SEALED IN THE ARK after the death of Eleazar and Joshua by those elders who worshipped the elohim Ashtaroth. It remained HIDDEN until it was discovered by Zadok the priest. They esteemed the deeds of David, except the murder of Uriah, but ELOHIM forgave him for that.”
The complete Torah will be given to YAHWEH’s children in the last days so that we can return back to the ancient path.
Enoch 104:12-13
“Then, I know another mystery, that BOOKS will be given to the righteous and the wise to become A CAUSE OF JOY AND UPRIGHTNESS AND MUCH WISDOM. And THE BOOKS will be given to them, and they will BELIEVE IN THEM AND REJOICE OVER THEM, and then all the righteous who have LEARNED FROM THEM ALL THE PATHS OF UPRIGHTNESS WILL BE REPAID.”
As always may YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!
