Video interview made available on line

Israel Knohl, a professor at Hebrew University and Senior Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, discusses the importance, to both Judaism and the followers of Christ, of the recent discovery of a stone since known as <a href="http://www.vision.org/visionmedia/article.aspx?id=6820&terms=Gabriel">Gabriel's Revelation</a>. The idea of a suffering Messiah has long been held by Christian scholarship to be an after-the-event concept added by the apostles to justify the death of Jesus Christ.  Knohl shows how this concept predated the birth of Jesus and explores the way this is shown in Gabriel's Revelation. 9 application/xml false Dead Sea Scrolls Gabriel's Revelation Herod Israel Knohl Jesus Christ Roman Empire Suffering Messiahs The Legacy of the Scrolls Sixty years after their discovery, the Dead Sea Scrolls still spark controversy and debate.

Retired professor, Stan Seidner contends that it reflects the Apocalyptic beliefs of the day, many which are found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, as antecedent and predictive writings of Christianity. He also suggested the use of infra-red technological applications, similar to what had been utilized on Dead Sea Scroll Material in the recent past. Challenging Knohl's "Two Messiahs" theory, Seidner noted that, "Knohl’s reliance upon what he calls, the 'Glorification Hymn,' in support of a first Messiah’s relationship with King Herod, failed in its Carbon 14 testing. It predates Herod’s ascendency to the throne by at least twelve years and as much as one hundred and fifty six." However, he does agree with Knohl's interpretation of the inscription,"to rise from the dead within three days."   Cited with permission from the author's paper , Seidner, Stanley S.
