The Incredible Journey

222,359 views

In AD 67, members of a mysterious religious sect hid a collection of over 900 sacred scrolls in caves in the Judean desert bordering the Dead Sea. The chance discovery of the ancient scrolls 2000 years later was considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time and sent shock waves through the world of Bible scholarship. Who wrote them? Why were they hidden? And why are they so important to us today?

I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL SO VERY OLD WHEN I WATCH A VIDEO LIKE THIS. I CAN REMEMBER BACK IN THE DAY WHEN THE DEAD SEA WAS JUST SICK.

Praise God for His Sovereign Hand in orchestrating the events of this discovery to give us confidence in His unchanging Word. INCREDIBLE!!

We have to seek God and God does not use learned men but shepherds, this is the second time and this is a message for us. This is not in any way to dismiss the works of his learned servants and teachers as Gary Kent, it is a collective effort where all involved represents a love and obedience to our God and the spreading of the good news of His Son...Thank You. This ministry is sustaining, let us keep them alive with our gratitude for the unselfish and saving work they have obviously dedicated themselves to doing.

The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has to be one of the greatest archaeological finds of all time. Fascinating from beginning to end.

That's a fascinating family heritage — Welsh craftsmen building both ships and siege engines shows remarkable skill! It's wonderful that you share Mary Jones' passion for collecting Bibles; her dedication to God's Word at such a young age still inspires so many. There's something special about holding physical copies of Scripture, knowing the care taken to preserve it through generations. May your collection continue to deepen your walk with the Lord!
