This is a Kindle edition of the author's material which was published in 1995 as a section in a cloth bound book. The principles are still the same in the discussion of the preservation of the text of God's Word to men. Before the still relatively recent discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls (1947), writers were saying that we have over 1700 Old Testament manuscripts.31 Now, however, since the Dead Sea Scrolls from the ruins of Khirbet Qumran (the site was fully excavated during 1953-1956), we now have an additional 40,000 fragments of ancient manuscripts from 11 caves. "Some 800 manuscripts are represented, of which 170 are fragments of Old Testament books (including manuscripts of each OT book, except Esther)".32 Also, prior to 1947 the earliest Hebrew manuscripts we had dated back to the late ninth century A.D. The Dead Sea Scrolls gave us Hebrew manuscripts which were one thousand years older than any extant Hebrew OT manuscripts! (being dated from the 2nd century B.C. through the 1st century A.D.) These manuscripts "presuppose originals, thus offering another verification of an early date for the actual writing of the Old Testament."33 The Isaiah manuscript is in Hebrew on a leather scroll 24 feet long and dated about 100 B.C. This old text of Isaiah is strikingly similar to the Hebrew texts of later dating! Two copper scrolls were also discovered and were dated about 200 B.C.-70 A.D. Scrolls were found in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek (material included both parchment and papyrus). Could any honest, clear-thinking observer deny that God providentially preserved His Word on leather scrolls by the use of eleven dry caves near the Dead Sea in Palestine?
