What is truly amazing is how the launching of the Google Dead Sea Scrolls Online coincided with my translation of the Book of Isaiah. It is almost without precedent.
Satan was working so hard to discredit the true Scriptures that he didn't realize how successful he was when the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered and everybody accepted them as the oldest and most authentic record of the Scriptures. The Google Dead Sea Scrolls Project, in its portrayal of the Scriptures as a work in progress, a sort of evolving record of spirituality and not as the Word of God delivered to mankind through the oracles of prophets, has convinced the scientifically oriented scholars and theologians that the Scriptures are little more than a literary record of religious thought and history of faith, a record that is always changing and evolving.
At a time when nobody cares about the Scriptures anyway, when the Bibles are relegated to the domain of weak minds, Satan doesn't have to prove anything. He has without firing a shot destroyed the faith of millions of Americans and Europeans through the introduction of the modified Scriptures of the Essenes.
Since 1947, when the Scrolls were discovered by an Arab shepherd in a cave, the Scrolls have been in the hands of those who couldn't figure out what they were or didn't want to know. Then the articles by Google, Wikipedia, newspapers, best-selling authors, and other Internet content providers came out with the explanation that the Scrolls indicate that Christianity emerged out of a continuously changing record of pragmatic or politically expedient writings that religious men and political leaders have always used to lead the masses into following them blindly.
And so that most of the people have been blinded by this view of what the Scriptures represent. Now it is nearly impossible to prove anything or to get the truth out. The Internet is now inundated by people driven with profit motives, hateful intentions, or delusions of grandeur. It's a difficult time to spread the true knowledge of the Scriptures. Yet for those few of us who still care, we must do our best nevertheless.
