The Dead Sea Scrolls

​  I have been discovering what is claimed to be “new” information that has been released from The Dead Sea Scrolls. Of course, that is only new to the modern man, because it was kept hidden for various reasons, but it certainly is new to me and in the context of writing the Libretto for “I Am Alpha & Omega” this information poses a real challenge.


   My long term goal has been to use scripture to craft a theatrical presentation centered on God and His Creation, a theatrical presentation that gives voice to God and brings forth His message to mankind. Clearly, such an endeavor must be derived from the Word of God.


  But now, apparently, new information has appeared that makes claims which answered some questions, but leaves others unanswered, or indeed brings up new questions in regard to its authenticity. It is a challenge, because those writing were volitionally excluded from the canon of the church. Was that by Divine Providence or by the interference of men? If by Divine Providence, was it with the intent that these writings only be revealed at the proper time? Is that proper time now? How should we view this “new” information in our modern world?


   These are question I am grappling with. In the context of the material that I am once again rewriting, how does this or should this fit in? I’ve yet to have been fully instructed in this regard by the Lord. But He has shown me many things, just not the beginning point yet. I feel as though I cannot, practically speaking, craft the body, at least if Act One, without the beginning point being absolutely clear and legitimate. As it stands now, in my mind, there are “suggestions” by revelators which diverge from foundational elements that are a prerequisite to faith in the Ultimate Divine, which absolutely must be present in this work.

Terminology

    a photo taken by Jane Blair          on New Church Day              June 19th 2025   I will post pertinent terminology here, which will be foundational to the restructured Libretto. Forr the most part, I will number thoughts, that will generally apply to the rewrite. 1)  I was reading a new translation of the book "Heaven and Hell". In it, the latin phrase "filius hominis" , traditionally translated as "the Son of Man" is translated as "the Human born One" . This changes the perspective overall in a huge way and I think this will be a big part of A&O, because it infers a larger context in conveying the structure from the Ultimate Divine to the outermosts of the natural degree and further down into the deepest hell  I thought I should convey this 2) 5/29/25 - a conversation at church today was in this regard;  Creation was effected from the Prime to the Outermosts and  from thence int...

Rewrites

UPDATE:    Having read about three quarters of the The Book of Jubilees, I believe I will begin structuring a revamped version of Act One, I still need to redress The Book of Enoch. I will be reading both of these books over again, as well as The Acrana Coelesetia (Swedenborg) to determine the which sequence of events will be selected to present. It is advancing. ARCHIVE: So, I am still pursuing research with ancient writings, but I have gained much more understanding about the components that need to be part of the picture. I am concerned about how to reduce the material down to an impressionistic summary that conveys both magnitude and clarity, without overwhelming the viewer with the time-frame allotted for Act One.     There is a lot of material that needs to be included in some fashion. I do think an abstract representation will be necessary, but that cannot occur without some way to convey justification. Justification suffers when the expressio...

NOTES on Acts One & Two

Update 8/29/25  It is said in  The Writings that the Ancient Word still exists and is located somewhere in Tartary. Fragments of The Book of Giants were found in Tartary. The book of Giants was also found in The Dead Sea Scrolls and is tied to the Books of. Enoch and The Jubilees . Events Leading up to the Flood    Research into the documents discovered in The Dead Sea Scrolls leads to the possibility that The Creation began well before the creation of man in the natural degree. The implication is that "the Sons of God" refers to the angels that were created, presumably in or above the Celestial Degree. Further, the inference is that when those angels placed "Love of Self" above Love of God, they fell (from Grace). The sequence of events surrounding that fall from Grace, leads one to believe that upon such fall, hell was created. One might conclude that when hell was created it necessitated the creation of heaven as a balancing factor. If th...
