Were there any merit at all to this it would be all over all the usual sites folks refer others to in order to allow them to read the whole Rapture doctrine. They’re just not all hyping and using as proof anything from the Dead Sea Scrolls.
This is taking something that is a blessing because it proves to doubters that the Old Testament and the prophesies about Christ are accurate, and you drag it into the most contentious forum you can find and taint it with an argument sure to cause those who might be seeking Christ to turn away and seek information where there isn’t constant argument.
Now, that’s a real soul winners’ attitude. Trash anything and everything to prove your point about the Rapture when it makes no difference whatsoever to finding Christ if you’re lost. Ya’ll argue this til the Rapture you’re waiting on arrives, or more likely, you find out the hard way how this drives more people away from Christ than it leads to Him. Making up or spreading made up references is even worse than the tearing from context I’ve seen in these mud wrestling matches.
May God have mercy on you for driving people away from His Son because you prefer playing games to witnessing. It is much, much, easiar. I'll grant you that.
What a stinking pile of assumptions
arguing from silence.
Impressive cognitions there.

BTW, Holly Deo is not that much of a slouch researcher.
Sheesh.
| The only small problem with this is that the Dead Sea Scrolls have nothing in them that doesn't translate to the same thing that is already in the OT. Just like someone claimed that the Dead Sea Scrolls mention the piercing of the Messiah and therefore Christ was not the Messiah, this is someone (Jack Van Impe in ’05 it seems) trying to add credence to their belief in the Rapture. I think that's just before the scrolls were finally released, so I give them the benefit of the doubt and say maybe they were expecting to find the word or had heard a rumor that it was in there. http://www.grantjeffrey.com/article/article1.htm http://www.bibleprophecyblog.com/2009/12/importance-of-dead-sea-scrolls.html And I’m positive you have been to innumerable others that make no mention of the verse you refer to because it isn’t there.

A sane, sensible post, and what answer do you get?
What a stinking pile of assumptions. arguing from silence.
Very lucid....
