John the Baptist
baptized people less than 10 miles from where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.
There are thematic parallels between gospel passages concerning John the
Baptist and the Dead Sea Scrolls.
His winnowing fork
is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into
the barn. But the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” Matthew 3:12
The obliteration of
all the inhabitants of the earth - Gather together and huddle up, people, before
you scatter like chaff which passes in one day without shame, before the fire
of the Lord’s wrath overtakes you, before the day of the Lord’s wrath overtakes
you. The interpretation of the word concerns all the occupants of the land of
Judah…
