Qumran as a Miracle
Christ Jesus suddenly appeared in a sense nowhere to preach, teach, and guide people with full confidence in terms of Judaism, the Hebrew Bible, and the Jewish history. Where had He learned them?
John the Baptist, before Christ Jesus, suddenly appeared in a sense nowhere to baptize, teach, and guide people with full confidence in terms of Judaism, the Hebrew Bible, and the Jewish history. Where had he learned them?
James, a brother of Christ Jesus, suddenly appeared in a sense nowhere to lead and teach people with full confidence in terms of Judaism, the Hebrew Bible, and the Jewish history. Where had he learned them?
Paul suddenly appeared in a sense nowhere to preach and teach people with full confidence in terms of Judaism, the Hebrew Bible, and the Jewish history. Where had he learned them?
The only place, so far possible enough to be a candidate, is Qumran where dead sea scrolls and other religious material were discovered in the 20th century almost 2000 years after the place had been abandoned.
Indeed it looks natural to assume that John the Baptist had left Qumran to baptize people, Christ Jesus left Qumran to preach among people, James visited Qumran after resurrection of Christ Jesus to succeed Him after coming back to Jerusalem, and Paul came to Qumran to learn the origin of the teaching of Christ Jesus and get determined to follow Him.
To give us this notion, God must have allowed the discovery of the dead sea scrolls in Qumran in the 20th century as if it had been a miracle, as stated "Luk 12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known."
The issue is why did God do this miracle? Because the end is near for Christians?
