The Temple scroll delusion-Response to refute this Dead Sea Scroll

Quote The Temple scroll" you shall count of seven full weeks from the day on which you bring the Barley Sheaf"---This takes us to the 15th day of the third month. Parchment 4Q326, , "on the twenty-sixth of the month is the barley Festival End Quote

This is what Temple scroll parchment 4Q326 says…

In the first (month) on the fourth (day) is Sabbath... On the eighth (day) in it [is Sabbath] ... On the eleventh (day) in it is Sabbath... [On the 14th (day) in it is Passover on the third (day of the week). On the 15th (day) in it: the feast of the Unleavened Bread on the fourth (day of the week). On the 18th (day) is Sabbath. On the 25th (day) in it: Sabbath. On the 26th (day) in it:] feast of the Gr[ain after the Sabbath. In the first month] 30 (days). On the second (day) in it: [Sabbath. On the ninth (day) in it: Sabbath. On the 16th (day)] ..

And that’s why you celebrate Shabbat on the fourth day of the week i.e. Thursday. Joy you must first of all look at evidence within scripture and if any scroll/ historical document that contradicts Yahauh’s dabar should be discarded straight away.

When we go to Genesis 1 on the 4th day Yahuah made the time keepers as SIGNS (aut H226 which is a TOKEN pointing go the spiritual alaph tau)

Gen 1:14 And Elohim said, “Let lights come to be in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs/aut (alaph uau tau) and appointed times/muaed, and for days/yom and years/shanah,
Gen 1:15  and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.” And it came to be so.
Gen 1:16  And Elohim made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars.
Gen 1:17  And Elohim set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
Gen 1:18  and to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And Elohim saw that it was good.
Gen 1:19 And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the fourth day.

Genesis accounts the 6 days of creation as ‘evening and the morning’ which is sunset to sunset (with morning to evening included and not a half day as some suggest) which is not a solar calendar for sure. On the 7th day Yahuah rested from all his works.

Gen 2:2  And on the seventh day Elohim completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.
Gen 2:3 And Elohim blessed the seventh day and set it apart, because on it He rested from all His work which Elohim in creating had made.
This came as a command in Turah that 6 days you shall rest but the 7th day is a day of Solemn rest as Yahuah rested from all his works.  The days of the week also came written in a 7-day pattern as Yom- Reeshon- First day, Yom- Shanay- Second day, Yom- Shalashay- Third day, Yom Rabyay- fourth day, Yom chamishi- fifth day, Yom shishshi- sixth day and Shabbat- 7th day rest.

Please look up the history of the Temple scroll, there are so many discrepancies in it as it states that the revelation given from Alahym to Moses with the intended meaning that this is the more appropriate temple which was revealed to Moses, and that Moses' instructions were either forgotten or ignored when Solomon built the first temple. In other words, in the mind of the Scroll writer, "Solomon should actually have built the First Temple as it is described here in the Temple Scroll". This is blasphemy because if Solomon did not follow the pattern as given to Moses by Yahuah then Yahuah would never have entered it, we have scriptures recording that when Solomon built the temple and they began praising and thanking Yahuah, Yahuah’s esteem filled the house and the priests were unable to stand and perform the service because of the cloud, for the esteem of Yahuah filled the house of Alahym.

2Ch 5:13 Then it came to be, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking יהוה, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets, and with cymbals, and with instruments of song, and giving praise to יהוה, “For He is good, for His kindness is everlasting,” that the house, the House of יהוה, was filled with a cloud,
2Ch 5:14 and the priests were unable to stand and perform the service because of the cloud, for the esteem of יהוה filled the House of Elohim.
The writer of this Temple scroll is fleshly in making such an absurd claim of a temple of his imagination. You may read it here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Scroll

Moreover, this Temple scroll was written in the square script during late Second Temple period and is mostly a copy paste of things written in Turah but mismatch in feasts and days observance. Its dangerous to go outside into historical documents and believe what’s mentioned in it above Tanak. The Tanak clearly states that the Pesach is on the 14th day and also states that the Pesach lamb has to be sacrificed between the evenings…NOT THE MORNING showing a evening to evening feast observation. I also showed evidence from the NT that they didn’t want to leave the bodies of Mashiyach and the robbers impaled with him on the tree because the next day was a High Shabbat, they hastened to get the bodies down from the tree because in a couple of hours time after Yahusha died on the tree the feast of Unleavened bread would begin.

Joh 19:31 Therefore, since it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the stake on the Sabbath – for that Sabbath was a high one – the Yehuḏim asked Pilate to have their legs broken, and that they be taken away.

Luk 23:55 And the women who had come with Him from Galil followed after, and saw the tomb and how His body was laid.
Luk 23:56 And having returned, they prepared spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the command.

The biggest discrepancy of this Temple scroll is as it unfolds the courts from the Most Set-part to the Set-apart to the outer court and states purity laws more severe than the Pentateuch. Laws such as ‘Anyone who lies with his wife and has an ejaculation, for three days shall not enter anywhere in the city of the temple in which I shall install my name’ against what Turah states that whenever two come together in a sexual relationship, they need to bathe and are unclean until the evening. Also Turah never states that those dwelling within Yerushalam couldn’t have sex within marriage but the Temple scroll forbids even entrance into Yerushalam for three days.

Columns 48 to 51 list sources of impurity and the steps needed to become clean again.  Source:  Dwight D. Swanson (1995). The Temple Scroll & the Bible: The Methodology of 11QT. BRILL. p. 4. ISBN 978-90-04-09849-7. Retrieved 27 March 2013.

The holiness extends out from the inner court of the Temple to encompass not only the other two temple courts, but takes in the entire city. 

Some scholars attribute the Temple Scroll to the isolated Qumran community, while others see no connection with the Qumran community; instead they see the work as a priestly (possible Zadokite) document that was hidden in a cave by Zealots during their flight from Jerusalem in 70 CE before the Roman destruction of the Temple.

Quote Referring to the 14th and the 15th of the first month, because rabbincal Judiasm begin their day at sunset---And this never was it always began at sunrise---but beginning at sunset, makes the Passover not correct as the 14day day really turns into the 15th evening.----also the Passover meal is eaten with Unleavened Bread End Quote

You claim Yahusha followed a solar calendar and a day begins at sunrise, there is no evidence for your claims but there is a strong evidence he followed the evening to evening pattern for he also says of his possible coming in four watches beginning from the evening watch.

Mar 13:35 “Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming – in the evening or at midnight, or at the crowing of the cock, or in the morning,
I also showed you the Genesis 1 pattern ‘evening and the morning’

Quote Psalm 137--referrs to after the destruction of the first temple, when in Babylon at this time, is when some of the Israelite's began keeping the day from Sunset instead of sunrise End Quote

It’s actually vice versa because the temple scroll was written during late Second temple period and many have fallen for the falsehood stated outside Yahuah’s dabar.

Quote 2Chr 36:21 is also referring to the time after the destruction of the 1st temple End Quote

This shows you are not looking up Turah to see why 2Chr 36:21 says ‘in order to fill the word of יהוה by the mouth of Yirmeyahu, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths. As long as she lay waste she kept Sabbath, until seventy years were completed’

Please read Lev 25:3-6…every six years they were allowed to till their ground and eat and trade it’s produce but the SEVENTH year was a SABBATH year of rest for the land (not the fourth month corresponding to the 4th day Shabbat you are observing as per the Temple scroll). In the 7th year Shabbat rest of the land they were not to till the ground but eat of its produce of what grows up by itself and allow the poor of the land to eat of its produce. Also Lev 25: 8-12 says you shall number seven sabbaths of years unto yourself, SEVEN TIMES SEVEN YEARS and the 50th year would be a jubilee and again in the jubilee year they were not to till their ground and eat of its produce of what grows of itself and allow the poor of the land to eat freely from the produce.

Turah is about compassion and Yasharal transgressed his Shabbat rest law of the land, hence Yahuah took the Yahudites outside the land for 70 years in captivity while the land rested for 70 years in what grew of itself and if you remember Nebuzaradan left the poor of the land and didn’t carry them into captivity. When in captivity all their beginning of months, Shabbats, sacrifices etc ceased. Pslams 137 clearly shows that they refused to sing the song of Yahuah in a strange land, while you do 😊

Lev 26:23  ‘And if you are not instructed by Me by these, but walk contrary to Me,
Lev 26:24 then I also shall walk contrary to you, and I Myself shall smite you SEVEN TIMES for your sins.
Lev 26:25  ‘And I shall bring against you a sword executing the vengeance of My covenant, and you shall gather together in your cities, and I shall send pestilence among you, and you shall be given into the hand of the enemy.
Lev 26:26  ‘When I have cut off your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall bring back to you your bread by weight, and you shall eat and not be satisfied.
Lev 26:27  ‘And if in spite of this, you do not obey Me, but walk contrary to Me,
Lev 26:28  then I shall walk contrary to you in wrath. And I Myself shall punish you seven times for your sins.
Lev 26:29  ‘And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and eat the flesh of your daughters.
Lev 26:30  ‘And I shall destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-pillars, and put your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols. And My being shall loathe you.
Lev 26:31  ‘And I shall turn your cities into ruins and lay your set-apart places waste, and not smell your sweet fragrances.
Lev 26:32  ‘And I shall lay the land waste, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.
Lev 26:33  ‘And I shall scatter you among the gentiles and draw out a sword after you. And your land shall be desert and your cities ruins,
Lev 26:34  and the land enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lies waste and you are in your enemies’ land. Then the land would rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.
Lev 26:35  ‘As long as it lies waste it rests, for the time it did not rest on your Sabbaths when you dwelt in it

See Lev 26:34-35……2 Chr 36:21 is fulfillment of what Yahuah told them he would do to them. In Lev 26:24 Yahuah tells them he would smite them SEVEN TIMES for their sins. While the punishment seemed to be severe but it was necessary to bring his remnant back to him in forgiveness. This is where Kepha got the idea of forgiving a brother who sins 7 times and asked Yahusha about it, but Yahusha said not 7 times but 70 x 7

Mat 18:21  Then Kĕpha came to Him and said, “Master, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”
Mat 18:22  יהושע said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

1Ki 6:1  And it came to be, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Yisra’ĕl had come out of the land of Mitsrayim, in the fourth year of the reign of Shelomoh over Yisra’ĕl, in the month of Ziw, which is the second month, that he began to build the House of יהוה.

1Ki 6:38  And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, the eighth month, the house was completed in all its matters and according to all its plans. Thus he built it for seven years.

Shelemoh/Solomon began to build the temple of Yahuah in the 484th year after the children of Yasharal came out of Egypt (480 years had passed) and he built the temple for SEVEN YEARS and completed it in the eleventh year (of children of Yasharal coming out of Egypt) which mean 484 + 7 = 491 …the 491st year is a Jubilee because if 7 x 7 = 49 and the 50th year is a jubilee then 70 x 7 = 490 with the 491st year as a jubilee spiritually.

1Ki 8:2  And all the men of Yisra’ĕl assembled to Sovereign Shelomoh at the festival in the month of Ěythanim, which is the seventh month.

2Ch 5:3  And all the men of Yisra’ĕl assembled to the sovereign at the festival, which was in the seventh month.
2Ch 5:4  And all the elders of Yisra’ĕl came, and the Lĕwites took up the ark,
2Ch 5:5  and they brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the set-apart utensils that were in the Tent. The Lĕwite priests brought them up.

We have 1 Kings 6:38 recording that the house was completed in the eighth month Bul and we have 1 Kings 8:2 & 2 Chr 5:3 recording that the dedication happened in the 7th month during the feast of Sukkot. We have 1 Kings 8:66 recording that Solomon sent the people away on the 8th day after the Solemn assembly and we have 2 Chr 7:10 recording that it was the 23rd day of the 7th month he sent the people away to their tents. The beginning of the 23rd began at sundown; the end of the 22nd which was the last day. Solomon sent them to their tents at the end of the 22nd, or the start of the 23rd day.

1Ki 8:65  And Shelomoh at that time observed the Festival, and all Yisra’ĕl with him, a great assembly from the entrance of Ḥamath to the wadi of Mitsrayim, before יהוה our Elohim, seven days and seven days – fourteen days.
1Ki 8:66  On the eighth day he sent the people away. And they blessed the sovereign, and went to their tents rejoicing and glad of heart for all the goodness that יהוה had done for His servant Dawiḏ, and for Yisra’ĕl His people.

2Ch 7:8  And Shelomoh at that time observed the Festival seven days, and all Yisra’ĕl with him, a very great assembly from the entrance of Ḥamath to the wadi of Mitsrayim.
2Ch 7:9  And on the eighth day they held an assembly, for they performed the dedication of the altar seven days, and the festival seven days.
2Ch 7:10  And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, rejoicing and glad of heart for the goodness that יהוה had done for Dawiḏ, and for Shelomoh, and for His people Yisra’ĕl.

When did the first seven of the fourteen days of the celebration begin? Would it have begun on the 8th day? Or would it mean that the two feasts would have run consecutively? The correct understanding is that the first seven day feast began before the Day of Atonement covering it (10th day of the seventh month) a day extended for seven days which corresponds to what 2 Chr 7:9…for they performed the dedication of the altar seven days AND THE FESTIVAL (SUKKOT) seven days.
If 23rd of the 7th month he sent them away, it shows he observed Sukkot exactly as Turah stated on the 15th day of the seventh month. We must minus 7 days from 15th to understand that he spent 7 days dedicating the altar along with the people covering the day of Atonement. 

This was in accordance as Turah said the jubilee was to be sounded by the ram’s horn on the 10th day of the Seventh month which is the Day of Atonement. (Lev 25:9) and this is in relation to the Sabbath of years.

 Lev 25:8 ‘And you shall count seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years. And the time of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years.
Lev 25:9  ‘You shall then sound a ram’s horn to pass through on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the Day of Atonement cause a ram’s horn to pass through all your land.
Lev 25:10  ‘And you shall set the fiftieth year apart, and proclaim release throughout all the land to all its inhabitants, it is a Jubilee for you. And each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you return to his clan.

In summary of what we just learnt, 480 years passed from the children of Yasharal coming out of Egypt and in the 4th year of his reign Shelemoh began building the temple i.e. 484 years and built it for 7 years in the 11th year of the coming out of children of Yasharal i.e. 484 + 7 = 491 and it was completed in the eighth month i.e. Bul, the following year in the 7th month he gathered Yasharal and dedicated the temple during the Day of Atonement followed by the feasting at Sukkot and the jubilee year is from sounding the ram’s horn on the 10th day of Atonement to the next year 10th day of Atonement we see Shelemoh perfectly following the 7 x 7 pattern (7 times pattern) concealed in the exact years of the children of Yasharal coming out of Egypt in a 70 x 7 pattern.

Why did Yahuah command Yasharal into a 70 year captivity, not more and not less?

Eze 4:5 “For I Myself have laid on you the years of their crookedness, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days. And you shall bear the crookedness of the house of Yisra’ĕl.
Eze 4:6 “And when you have completed them, you shall lie again on your right side and shall bear the crookedness of the house of Yehuḏah forty days, a day for a year. I have laid on you a day for a year.

Ezekiel was told to lie on his left side for 390 days to bear the iniquity of Yasharal for the symbolic 390 years as verse 6 says ‘’I have laid on you a day for a year’’ and for Yahudah to lie on the right side for 40 days which each day is for a year. So 390 + 40 =430 years which is well short of 490 days for years?

In order for 70 Sabbath years to be missed, Yasharal must have lived in Yasharal– without observing the Sabbath year – for a total of 490 years. This is because only one year out of seven is a Sabbath year – and 490 total years / 7 = 70 Sabbath years.

Ezekiel 4:1-6 prophecy shows the northern kingdom of Yasharal had failed to keep Alahym’s commandments (including the Sabbath year and the jubilees during the 390 years) for 390 years;
The southern kingdom of Yahudah had failed to keep Alahym’s commandments for 40 years (including the Sabbath year only because 40 years doesn’t attain a jubilee). Hence put together 390 + 40 = 430 years
As mentioned above, the land must rest on Jubilee years as well – and as a result, Jubilee years are also “Sabbath” years. Jubilee years fall within the seven year “Sabbath cycle”. Basically, each Jubilee year is also the first year of a new Sabbath cycle. So, during the course of 49 years, there will be 8 years in which the land must rest – the first year, which is a Jubilee year; and every seven years, which are Sabbath years

Northern tribes:

The following years will be years of rest, during each 49 year “group”: 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, and 49 (Total 8)

and in the 390 years the following would be the jubilee years

1, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350 (Total 8)

Hence 8 x 8 = 64 years of Sabbath years and jubilees missed by the northern tribes

Southern tribes (Yahudah and Benyamyan):

 The following years of Sabbath rest 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 (Total 6 Sabbath years missed)

Hence 64 +6 = 70 years of captivity.

When we say that they missed we understand that they fully did not obey Yahuah’s commands as stated in Turah to not sow and reap in the 7th year and to release captives and restore in the 50th year as among them were the guym/nations or tribes who had turned their backs to Yahuah and were outwardly showing they were obeying the commands but their hearts were far away from loving Yahuah and his commands.

Their coming out of Egypt to the completion of the first temple to its dedication of 490 years shows the time (70 Sabbath years) they missed the Shabbat years and the Shabbat of years in a spiritual vs spiritual comparison. Hence as long as the first tabernacle followed by the first temple stood as types and shadow of the true temple i.e. Mashiyach in whom is the true rest because we look upto New Yerushalam the qodesh city where the Sabbath of years finds it’s fulfillment in him. A complete time when Yahuah takes his children into his forgiveness of 70 times 7.
