What happened at the Qumran Caves?

We're here at Qumran. This is where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found out here in these, what look to be very desolate hills, and I've never seen any topography like this anywhere in the world. This is astounding. But apparently a community lived here, and we've seen the remains of it today, where a community lived back at the time of Christ. But what was important about these Dead Sea Scrolls that were found, there were scrolls found by a shepherd who was out with his sheep and threw a rock into the cave and he heard a crashing noise that was unusual and it turned out to be a clay pottery, and it was a piece of a scroll that he found there written on some animal skin. And it turns out that it's unlocked some of the mysteries of the Bible. It's shown us that the Bible is real and true. The copy of Isaiah that they found in these scrolls is from back in 68 A.D. And this is the oldest manuscript of the Bible ever found. It predates any other copy of Isaiah that's been found up until this point by 1,000 years. And they have found portions, over the years, starting in 1947 even through today, they're still finding scrolls, fragments of these scrolls in these caves and in these jars that this community has preserved back in those years. And they've found every, pieces from every book of the [Hebrew] Bible, except for Esther, to date. So these are the Qumran Caves, here near the Dead Sea, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.

@elitemathlete The core value of the dead sea scrolls are pure in concept. Life is worthy of honor, respect, all life! This means you too! Your life has value, you are here experiencing this life for a purpose, it is to wake up, hour by hour, day by day, year by year. Embrace all the gifts you have been given, and realize all life is sacred.
