-> Essenes maybe (incld in) the scribes/priests/rabbis/Levites/jews/lawyers/elders/israelites of the Gospels.
-> It seems there may be connection(s) between Qumran & the Ethiopians: both no book of Esther (cp Misler, Luther), both treasure/eunuch/baptism/Isaiah (Philip & Ethiopian in Acts).
-> The earthquake which damaged building at Qumran may be the one at/after JC's crucifiction, or one in Acts? (tho Qumran date supp earlier.)
-> The hidden treasure of the Copper Scroll(s) may be connected with the ark &/or Solomon's temple furnature (cp Temple Scroll), [or may be scrolls/scriptures?] (Cp "store up treasure in heaven".)
-> It is debated whether the Qumran building and Qumran caves/scrolls were connected or not, and/or whether the scrolls and Essenes connected or not, (&/or building & Essenes conn or not?). Hence they called Essene-LIKE sect. Distinction between Qumran DSS and Nag Hammadi DSS.
-> 11 DSS caves have been found, is there still one more to be found (12 tribes/patriarchs/apostles/disciples)? cp 11 apostles (minus Judas), (cp lost tribe Dan revelation.) Grant Jeffrey mentions "recently detected caves" & "new dig".
-> there might be a possibility of a connection of the Yahad 'uni' sect/grp of/in the qumran Dead Sea Scrolls with the YeHuD/yhw coin(s) of persian-greek times, and/or with Jihad 'holy war', but I guess the difference of semi-vowels (ayin or aleph) may make it unlikely?
-> (4000) "celibate/ascetic/monastic/communistic/..." Qumran sect recalls (144000) virgins of Revel (tho some of them did/were married and as evidenced by that they had (a) yr/s trial marriage period custom/tradition/rule.) (Virgin may be figurative? Trial marriage maybe trial membership?)
-> (3) Teacher(s) (rabbi?) of Righteousness matches (2) messiahs &/or 2 comings &/or 2 witnesses &/or forerunner &/or elijah.
-> T of R lead sect out from Jerusalem (flee) to wilderness refuge recalls woman/144,000 flee to wilderness (Petra?) in Revelation (cp Waco).
-> T of R preceeds messiah like Elijah (Malachi) &/or John &/or 2 witnesses preceed Jesus Christ, &/or 1st coming before 2nd coming. (Jesus said John was "Elijah", John said he was not Elijah.)
-> T of R called the prophet, the Prophet spoken of by Moses who John denied being (and Mohammed claimed to be) but who was Jesus Christ.
-> T of R called the interpreter of the law (mosaic), matches Jews saying messiah will interpret even spaces between letters, and JC saying not one jot or tiddle will pass away without being fulfilled.
-> T of R & (Jesus) Christ in common: Melchizedek, martyred, persecuted, teacher/rabbi, baptism, messiah?, ['priests'], etc.
-> James Just & Paul Apostle (as opp to Saul Tarsus), &/or Jesus Christ & John Baptist were not dualistic "enemies". (Written earlier) New Testament (Roman) Jesus Christ more reliable than ("orally earlier"?) Talmud (Maccabean) Ye(i)shu(a) ha-Notzri (disputed by some whether even same or not).
-> the son of God scroll says "He shall be called the son of God, & they shall designate him son of the Most High. Like the appearance of comets, so shall be their kingdom. For brief yrs they shall reign over the earth & shall trample on all; 1 people shall trample on another & 1 province on another until the people of God shall rise & all shall rest from the sword." The "son of God" here is the Antichrist not (Jesus) Christ (as Jeffries/Jeffreys would have it), the time length is more like Tribulation (than the Millenium or AD).
-> Melkiresha &/or (3) Wicked Priest(s) &/or Man (ish?) of the Lie match the Dragon &/or Antichrist/Beast &/or False Prophet (&/or Harlot) of Revelation. (Disputed whether W Pr & Liar are same person, or Liar agent of W Pr.)
-> wicked (resha?) priest/melki-resha maybe related to prophetic prince Rosh? Wicked (resha?) priest/Melki-resha maybe chief (rosh?) priest/high king?
-> Wicked Priest committs abonimations recalls abomination of desolation(s) of Daniel.
-> the spouter of lies recalls the little horn with mouth speaking grt things of Daniel, the false prophet, &/or the Lie they shall believe of Paul's letter/Revelation (= "you shall not die but become like God(s)"?)
-> the Liar is not = Jesus Christ "because of his birth/[resurrection/ascension]".
-> Jesus Christ not wicked, nor of (high) priestly descent tho he was priest of Melchizedek.
