I posted the next page about a lawsuit in an Israeli court to illustrate a point. This case is only a tip of the iceberg. Imagine what the Christian World has had to do to hide the truth about the prophesy of Isaiah regarding the Coming of Eashoa (Jesus) to the World?At the very bottom of this page is the link to the case. Read it if you have the time and the interest. I can tell you beforehand that the whole subject of the Dead Sea Scrolls is strictly academic; the Dead Sea Scrolls are neither the oldest, nor the authentic recordings of the Scriptures. They are religious manuscripts copied by cave dwellers in the days of the Roman occupation. The copies are themselves real and properly dated; however, they are not the official canon of the Jews of those days. The official canon was what Eashoa (Jesus) read from when He came to the world two thousand years ago. Eashoa (Jesus) never said that the Scriptures He read from were not authentic. He would have known about the Dead Sea Scrolls if they were the real recordings of the Scriptures.
The Dead Sea Scrolls found in 1947 are simply a collection of hand-copied manuscripts that have been paraded by the detractors of Christianity to discredit that Eashoa (Jesus) is the Messiah prophesied by the Scriptures. The Roman Catholic Church has declared that Chapters 40 to 66 are not the work of Isaiah, that they were tacked on to the Book of Isaiah later. These are the chapters that clearly prophesy about Eashoa (Jesus) and the Christian faith of the Apostles.
With respect to the first thirty-nine chapters of Isaiah (which don't mention Eashoa directly), there is also much disagreement. The Roman Catholic Church has translated them one way, the Protestants have translated them another way. All the Western translations are wrong and biased. They are self-serving and distortions of the truth. Even the Muslims have their own take on the Book of Isaiah. Certain Muslim scholars have indicated that Isaiah prophesied about the coming of the prophet Muhammad.
The Google Dead Sea Scrolls Project exposes most of the controversies and interpretations, without taking a stance on their theological accuracy. Google is secular; however, with this project, Google is no longer just a search engine. Google has thrown its hat into the arena of providing content to which advertisers can attach their ads. So the Dead Sea Scrolls have been commercialized finally. Google has grown too big and needs to monetize its own search results. By treating the Ancient Church of the East Book of Isaiah (the oldest and most authentic original) as just another version, Google has made a terrible mistake, a mistake that will ultimately diminish it as a search engine.
Google is showing video clips on Youtube that depict the language of the Book of Isaiah as being Hebrew. Isaiah wrote in the Ancient Aramaic language. Ancient Aramaic is the only scribal language of the Jewish people. This is a deliberate distortion. When I publish the Book of Isaiah and make it available from this website, it will be the only true translation of Isaiah in existence.

Here is a fragment of Isaiah from the Dead Sea Scrolls in the
Google articles.
It is in Ancient Aramaic, yet Google states that this is in
Hebrew.
The Dead Sea Scrolls Project launched by Google opens up many avenues for error regarding the Book of Isaiah. The Book of Isaiah is the central Scripture that reveals the prophesy regarding Eashoa (Jesus), recorded half a millennium before He actually appeared, the preparation of the Jewish nation to receive Him, and the essential history of the New Testament -- all this was prophesied by Isaiah in this magnificent Scripture, a Scripture that Google and the detractors of true Christianity would like to cover up and use only as a source of making money and achieving influence.
