YAWN for Yahweh!

We’ve been hearing about these scrolls for decades but I can’t remember a single significant finding that has come from them, despite all the hoohah and jealous guarding of them from scholars who aren’t on the “A” list.

The major finding is that the continuously surviving (and translated and transliterated and paraphrased) versions of the Scriptures are very nearly unchanged since the DSS were secreted in those jars in the caves.

What can come from tomorrows Vacuum of space and time?,
except to start everyday anew and live in, or near, the present.
The reality of "Past" might have something to tell us, but do not know what or if it is any good.
The scrolls - someone cooked it up 2000 years ago, not sure if it pays my rent next month.
