Gabriel's Vision - Dead Sea Scroll in Stone?

In July 2008 there was an article in 'BAR Magazine' Biblical Archaeology Review,  in respect of a stone that had been found. The text on the stone is called 'Gabriel's Vision' and the scholars state that it relates to the two different Messiahs that were predicted to come. [1]

First the dating of it is said to be "about the late first century B.C. and early first century A.D." I would say that is required to be verified if hasn't already been done so.  Is there any evidence to back up the views of what the scholars are saying about the transcript of the stone? 


I will pick out the most important lines for you to digest. 


15. One, two, three, forty prophets and the returners. 
16. My servant, David, asked from before Ephraim. 
17. To put the sign I ask from you, because he said, namely. 

In my humble view this text relates to Psalm 92, due to the text mentioning the fact that King David asked. In Psalm 92, David was told about two and that one would come before Ephraim e.g. Joseph. King David was fully aware that Joseph would not be born in Israel. As such in Psalm 92 he is very happy when he is told about the 'Lute of Lovingkindness' that would come in the daytime. 

So verse 16 is saying that King David asked before about Joseph e.g the one promised to Moses.

In this stone text, King David was told to put the sign that was asked of him by giving the names. e.g Lute of Lovingkindness and Harp of Faithfulness. The Harp of Faithfulness is also supported by the NT and the book of Revelation when it states that the 24 elders have a harp.

19. Sanctify, sanctify, Israel, in three days you shall know, that for, he said.

If we take into account that this is the 3rd millennium, then that would make sense in regard to the Harp of Faithfulness that was predicted to come in the night time e.g. the last days of the end times. Psalm 92.

The text then tells Israel that the land will broken down before justice comes, and that they will be told what the bad plant is. That they are standing the messenger/angel. He will ordain you to Torah. It then mentions that in a little while, it then mentions tiny, it is. and I will shake the (tree) of heaven and the earth.

It then mentions chariots and the number seven. Gates of Jerusalem and gates of Judah.

1. Israel is broken down before justice comes.

2. They are told what the bad plant is, and they were warned about the fig tree various times in the history of Israel.

3. Standing the messenger/angel.

4. Then tiny comes and thats when the LORD shakes the heaven and earth.

5. Chariots and number seven relate to Joseph.


28. His angel Michael and to all the others asked.

The name Michael is mentioned by Daniel, and Rev 12 when the wondrous woman from heaven comes.
Both those passages are to do with the last days of the end times.

It then mentions Israel again and seven of his angels.

31. 'What is it?' said the 'blossom' 'diadem'.

In the bible there are different blossoms.  In the book of Numbers the tribe of Levi, budded, blossomed and produced almonds. In the book of Kings, the Lilly blossoms. In Job the olive tree blossoms. In Isaiah the redeemed blossom e.g. the healed.

However, in line 31, we have the word 'blossom' and diadem' together and there is only one passage in the bible that does that. Isaiah 61 is about the last days of the end times, and Daughter Zion that is also mentioned in Micah 4. 

32. Leader/ruler the second. 

As this text appears to be confirming the earlier declaration by King David in Psalm 92. The second would relate to the Harp of Faithfulness in my humble view. That also relates to other biblical prophecies. 

33. Jerusalem three in the greatness of.

Line 33 could be talking about the third person. That would also align with the book of Revelation, after New Jerusalem is built.

The above text is talking about a lot of people not just two people. How can the scholars not see that?

There is a third page, so let us look at that next.

51 Your people with you
52 the messengers angels

It then mentions three days again and the closing of the blood slaughters and sacrifices. When the wall was built in Israel, the people being killed reduced by 90%.

60 me spirit wind of, in it loved.
65 three saints of the world eternity.

The text also mentions three shepherds and sons of saints, and it finishes with Gabriel asking who am I, and out of three Gabriel chooses the tiny one.

Do I know someone in Israel with the name of Gabriel? Yes. He is a healer.
