Fourteen years ago I visited this incredible place: The Shrine of the Book in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem which houses the Dead Sea Scrolls. This morning I met and listened to a lecture given by the man who curator of this incredible collection of ancient scripts: the complete and oldest manuscripts of the Old Testament known to date. It was awe-inspiring.
The story of their discovery and winding journey from Israel to the United States back to Israel is incredible, to say the least. The journey from a jar in a cave to this architectureal jar in display winds through inconceivable coincidences that could have only have been engineered and appointed by an all knowin, all loving God Who longs for us to know His Story as truth. What a thrill it was for me to relive the awesome experience of seeing these bits of God's Word retreived from the wilderness! As the Lord has said, "My Word will go forth and accomplish the thing for which I sent it. It shall not return void."
