Seventy metal books found in cave in Jordan could change our view of Biblical history.....For scholars of faith and history, it is a treasure trove too precious for price.
This ancient collection of 70 tiny books, their lead pages bound with wire, could unlock some of the secrets of the earliest days of Christianity. Academics are divided as to their authenticity but say that if verified, they could prove as pivotal as the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947.
On pages not much bigger than a credit card, are images, symbols and words that appear to refer to the Messiah and, possibly even, to the Crucifixion and Resurrection.
Adding to the intrigue, many of the books are sealed, prompting academics to speculate they are actually the lost collection of codices mentioned in the Bible’s Book Of Revelation.......

Wow. I hope they’re genuine.
No one dot or tittle.
Very interesting, I wonder what’s in them.
X marks the spot: The cave in Jordan where the artifacts were discovered
Oh my heck! Proof positive that the golden plates truly exist!
</ sarcasm>
I pray this is not a centuries-in-the-works or otherwise hoax.
I pray God’s will and God’s will alone will govern what occurs vis a vis this find.
Ping. Interesting early Church related find.
Quix,
I believe they are genuine, all part of GOD’s divine plan to save human beings from eternal destruction...Revelaing his eternal truth in these *Last Days*

Dr Margaret Barker, a former president of the Society for Old Testament Study, said: ‘The Book of Revelation tells of a sealed book that was opened only by the Messiah.
‘Other texts from the period tell of sealed books of wisdom and of a secret tradition passed on by Jesus to his closest disciples. That is the context for this discovery
I suspect that this is going to turn out to be more reinforcement for the accuracy of the fragments we already have.
Daniel 12:28
Does say GOD will reveal his secrets in latter days.....

:)
GOD works in Mysterious ways....
That's Gnosticism, and it is heretical. Although the amount of gnosticism present in today's world is extraordinary. Many people are led astray by the thought that they can get secret wisdom which mere Christians do not have access to.
Agreed, Daniel does say that secrets would be revealed in the last days but could this be Daniel’s book? I would think that it’s much too young for that.
