Premise

For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

Malachi 4:1

Dating to the Hasmonean period between 75–50 BC, this Hebrew manuscript was discovered in Cave 4 at Qumran, as a part of the Dead Sea Scroll designated 4Q80.

The following was written nearly a century prior to Christ’s crucifixion:

“And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.”
Zechariah 12:10

Unpacking this: 50-75 years before the historically verified birth of Jesus of Nazareth—the Christ—Christos: (the anointed one) … Christ spoke through the prophet Zechariah telling of what was to come. “Me whom they have pierced” and “as one mourneth for his only son” — the Trinity encompassed in one verse, confirmed and in a scroll tangible copy dated from the century prior to his birth.

God is not bound by time. That is why the tense changes from present to future to past, all in the same passage.

The oldest known manuscript containing Malachi 3:1 is a fragment from the Dead Sea Scrolls collection known as 4QXIIa (also designated 4Q76 or 4Q Minor Prophets^a), which dates to approximately 150 BC:

“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts”
Malachi 3:1

Here, we have the prophet Malachi, who lived about 500 years before the crucifixion, and this scroll being written 2 centuries prior to Christ’s birth, relaying to the Priests of Israel directly: Christ’s warning of his impending arrival. Specifically, the ‘messenger’ who will ‘prepare the way’ (John The Baptist), Jesus entering the Temple (fulfilled in the weeks prior to his resurrection, flipping the tables and predicting it’s destruction-which occurred in 70 AD), and a final last warning, that ‘he shall come’. With these things in mind, It’s very relevant that the book of Malachi is the last recorded book in the Old Testament.

We have scrolls reflecting the text which our Bibles today contain, exactly, dating to 150 years before the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, the anointed one.

There has never been a better time than today to come back to God and get right with eternity.

A glimpse into how the world power structure is laid out. The Committee of 300 was exposed by Dr. John Coleman, former MI6 British Operative, in the 1990’s. Prior to his death, he left behind multiple books detailing and illustrating the mechanisms, tactics, organizations, and corresponding elements that control the world. You were NOT taught this.

Above all, taking the shield of faith…
