Mystery tablet could redefine Jewish-Christian links
Posted Tue Jul 8, 2008 11:02am AEST
A tablet said to date back to the 1st century BC could redefine links between the Christian and Jewish religions by predicting a messiah who would rise again after three days.
Israel Knohl, a biblical studies professor at Jerusalem's Hebrew University, said his interpretation of the Hebrew text on the tablet could "overturn the vision we have of the historic personality of Jesus Christ".
"This text could be the missing link between Judaism and Christianity in so far as it roots the Christian belief in the resurrection of the Messiah in Jewish tradition," he said.
The tablet belongs to a collector living in Zurich who said he acquired the object from an antiquities dealer in Jordan.
It is believed to originate from the Jordanian bank of the Dead Sea.
The text is described as "the revelation of the Angel Gabriel" and is inscribed in ink on rock, over 87 lines, with some letters or entire words wiped out by the passage of time.
The Israeli researcher says that line 80 refers to a "three-day" period and a faded word which uses a part of the verb "to be".
Christians celebrate Easter as the resurrection of Jesus who rose from the dead three days after his crucifixion.
The text declares that the Angel Gabriel is to awaken "the prince of princes" three days after his death, in an echo of the Jewish tradition which applies to the Messiah, according to the Israeli professor.
The tablet was described and its text published last year in the Israeli historical and archaeological review Cathera.
Dr Knohl is to present his reading on Tuesday at a seminar in Jerusalem as part of events to mark the 60th anniversary of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The tablet has been described as a "Dead Sea Scroll on stone".
"If such a messianic description really is there, it will contribute to a developing re-evaluation of both popular and scholarly views of Jesus," according to The New York Times.
"It suggests that the story of his death and resurrection was not unique but part of a recognised Jewish tradition at the time."

Search All Things, Prove All Things True.
Dear reader. To read text articals pertaining Book of Mormon archaeology, scroll half way down.
If the Book of Mormon truly is an ancient history of America, we can search the Book of Mormon, then search archaeology to discover if the Book of Mormon is accurate. 1 Thessalonian's 5:21 states" Prove all things; hold fast that which is good". Only a fool does not test his or her Christian belief to see if it withstands scrutiny and " tough well reasoned questioning". He or she who does not test or question everything in life, religion or career has missed the boat, and the very meaning of life. Which is to find the better way spiritually and temporally, holding fast to that which is good.
THE BIBLICAL CHRIST CARRYING A SHEPHERDS STAFF
A Hebrew People In America?
Can there be Hebrews in America? What does the Bible say?
Matthew 15:24
But He ( Jesus ) answered them and said, I am not sent but unto the LOST SHEEP of the house of the house of Israel
Jesus told us He must minister to Israelites " other sheep I have not of this fold then also must I bring ", ( John 10:16 KJV ).
Ezekiel 34:6;11;12-13 declares:
6My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.
11For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
12As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day** that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
** ( in the day means during Christ earthly ministry 2000 years ago )
13And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
Matthew 15:24

11For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

13And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
For the Book of Mormon to be a valid history of an ancient people long dead, there must be Biblical evidence such a people exist. The words of Christ and Ezekiel confirm such a people are scattered world wide.
