Qumran as the mirror of Jerusalem
| Here is contained a very detailed scholarly study of the premise of Dr. Barbara Thiering that there were two Jerusalems: Jerusalem and Qumran. Her conjectures on the Jesus' ministry and the place of his birth and crucifixion and subsequent resuscitation depend on this proof. In addition, if Qumran can be established as the site of the Jerusalem of Jesus, the seeming connection between the recently found Dead Sea Scrolls and the early Church of Jesus can be affirmed. This connection was observed by John Allegro, who was on of the original team that translated the DSS, and has been since been ridiculed. The details shown here do in fact consistently show the correctness of Dr. Thiering's premise and clearly support the assumptions of Allegro. Also, in the next Inductive Reasoning, it will also be shown that the the Qumran location for Jerusalem resolves all of the discrepancies of location and distance in Jesus' journeys. (See Jesus' Journeys) (In order to verify the correctness of the Greek, the actual images of the Codex Vaticanus are used.) |
