Gabriel Revelation?? what is your opinion?

Gabriel Revelation, Essenes & Kabbalah
Professor, author and researcher Dr. Ken Hanson returned to discuss the new stone tablet unearthed near the Dead Sea, which contains prophecies about the Messiah as well as revelations from the Angel Gabriel. He's been studying the 3-ft. tablet, known as the 'Gabriel Revelation,' for the last year. Containing 87 lines of Hebrew, the ink is inscribed directly into the stone, which prevents it from being carbon dated, he explained, noting that it's possible the artifact is a forgery.

But Hanson said he's come to believe the tablet is genuine. Thought to be made in the decade before Jesus' birth, it speaks of a messianic figure who will rise from the dead after three days. "The implications are overwhelming," he said, in that the resurrection of a messiah could be part of Jewish tradition. The ancient Judeans known as the Essenes believed in the coming of two messiahs-- one from the priestly branch, the other from the lineage of King David, Hanson pointed out.

He also touched on such topics as Kabbalah and the Book of Revelation. Kabbalah, the mystical side of Judaism, has an energy and power to it beyond just rote tradition, he said. Regarding the Book of Revelation, many of its 'end time' prophecies could apply to the time it was written in, as well as to other historical periods such as our current one, he commented.

Tablet stirs resurrection debate     BBC NEWS middle east

The Gabriel's Vision of Revelations tablet is believed to pre-date Jesus
An ancient tablet shows the idea of the resurrection of a messiah after three days was part of Jewish tradition before Jesus's birth, it is claimed.

The theory has been proposed by Israel Knohl, a professor of biblical studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

His reading of the Hebrew text raises questions about when the concept of a resurrected messiah first emerged.

Questions remain over the tablet's precise origins, however, and some scholars doubt its authenticity.

The tablet, known as Gabriel's Vision of Revelations, is believed to date from the first century BC. It is believed to have originated from the Jordanian, east bank of the Dead Sea.

It was discovered 10 years ago and now belongs to a collector living in Zurich, David Jeselsohn, who acquired it in Jordan.

 
This text could be the missing link between Judaism and Christianity in so far as it roots the Christian belief in the resurrection of the Messiah in Jewish tradition

The tablet is a metre (three feet) tall with 87 lines of Hebrew in two columns.

Unusually, the text is written onto the tablet, rather than engraved. Some letters, and entire words, on the tablet are illegible.

'Revolt against Romans'

Israel Knohl argues that his interpretation of the Hebrew text could "overturn the vision we have of the historic personality of Jesus".

"This text could be the missing link between Judaism and Christianity in so far as it roots the Christian belief in the resurrection of the Messiah in Jewish tradition," he told the AFP news agency.

According to Professor Knohl's interpretation, the key line of the text quotes the Archangel Gabriel telling a "Prince of Princes" that "In three days you shall live: I Gabriel command you."

Professor Knohl argues that other lines on the tablet refer to blood and slaughter as ways to achieve righteousness, which he places in the context of a Jewish revolt against the Romans.

He argues that the tablet refers specifically to the resurrection of a Jewish leader at the time.

The professor's theory is not unchallenged. With much of the text missing, debate on the overall meaning of the text on the tablet rages.

Ada Yardeni, a specialist in ancient languages at the Hebrew University who has studied the tablet in question, does not agree with Professor Knohl's conclusions - but acknowledges that the key word in the quotation could mean "live", despite being spelt unusually.
