Cryptic Qumran Code Broken?

Possible breakthrough in reading mystery scroll script???
December 22, 2025
"...The Dead Sea Scrolls were written in a wide range of languages and scripts, including two scripts written in code, commonly known as Cryptic A and B. Both scripts used signs and symbols that were not part of any known writing system, but rather were crafted to make certain texts more difficult to read. The first of these enigmatic scripts, Cryptic A, was broken in 1955. Now, according to an article published in the journal Dead Sea Discoveries. Cryptic B may have been cracked as well..."

}}}===>>> Do (we) think the Dead Sea Scrolls are extra-Biblical against approved Canon?
Should we ignore them or not?


What of the Book of Isaiah Scroll discovered in Qumran that appears to agree with the complete Canon published?

What is our position on this group called the Essenes?
Were they corrupted as were the Sadducees and Pharisees of their time?

Just asking ...

Good morning, Mabel;

I don't know, sister.

I'm always challenged by the Dead Sea Scrolls, Cryptic Qumran A and B. I admire seasoned Christians, scholars and theologians and inquisitors who love to explore these mysteries of symbols for Hebrew letters, Biblical themes or specific teachings. But what little I know is these findings from some 80 years ago can be used to assure Old Testament reliability.

I say good for them!

What challenges me is how does the DSC, Qumran A and B benefit the Christian disciple in these times? Aside from assurance of Old Testament reliability, is this considered a prerequisite for approved "extra Biblical" to what we're already studying?

I am grateful for existing countless Biblical text books from authors that are also anointed and assure us of Old and New Testament reliability.

Alas, in my personal study of God's Word and the extra Biblical text books will keep me challenged and busy in the ministry God calls me.

God bless
you, Mabel, and thank you for sharing

Thanks Bob.

It all comes down to FAITH.

Just read a treatise on this today.

Don’t Let the Devil Snatch Away God’s Word

Luke 8:12

“Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.”

——-

Apart from the real knock ✊🏾 s I heard after becoming alive and eating and drinking Scripture with joy and delight ARE my stays always when doubt caused by minions I recall all the circles of red I made in my Bible throughout all the Books of

I AM

And traced The Son of GOD I AM in each as well as the proof that Jesus Christos I AM fulfilled OT prophesy by logarithmic verification that He indeed is The Messiah.

Keep the FAITH no matter what!
