NEW YORK -- The Dead Sea Scrolls, dating between 250 B.C. and A.D. 70, have nearly all been published 54 years after their discovery in caves on the western shore of the Dead Sea.
The announcement of their publication was scheduled for Thursday at the New York Public Library by Emmanuel Tov, a professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and the project's editor in chief.

It figures.
The Tri-lateral commission and the Jesuits couldn't agree with the Bilderburgers
about releasing the scrolls that pertain to Elvis and the Kennedy murder.
"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearer's is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from judgement: and who shall declare his generation: For he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities."
Never in the history of humanity, and specifically the Jewish race, has anyone's life even partially fulfill the 'prophetic picture' they way a certain carpentar from Nazareth did in complete detail.
"The people that walked in darkeness have seem a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined."
Hey, we should feel lucky. Deep Thought took 7 milllion years and all he came up with was 42!
The Roman Catholic hierarchy and the Jesuits sat on them for decades. The scrolls didn't follow the desired line.
No, but they've got a recipe for beer that's to die for.
