The great revelation of the Dead Sea Scrolls is a person, the historic, real head of the Essenes called the "Teacher of Righteousness." The name comes from II Chronicles 15:3: "Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law." The Teacher filled that void. His existence has been both hidden and known. In his own words in the Thanksgiving Scroll, he said: "Thou willt conceal the truth until its time." Its time is now. The Scrolls were discovered in caves in the Judean desert after WW II. They were concealed by the Essenes fleeing Palestine to rejoin their cousins in Mesopotamia in the face of the Romans who, unknown to themselves, were about to destroy the Second Temple of Jerusalem. The Scrolls when found were at first a sensation but then were placed behind a curtain which G. Vermes called "the academic scandal par excellence of the twentieth century." Their contents unsettled, perhaps frightened, the keepers of the Scrolls. Even when first written the Scrolls had to veil their message in cryptic visions. The Gospels retell the story and split some roles which are too large for one figure into two actors. The Gospels, written in Greek to address the world at large, are also a sequel. They explain a contemporary sign of their age, the destruction of the Second Temple. But the seemingly simple original facts are in no way less than the version created by Mark, and embellished by the others. Two thousand years later, it is possible to know the terribly real person, powerful and profound, behind these events in a new light, perhaps truly for the first time, and hear his voice. The Scrolls are the key to the Gospels; the Gospels are the key to the Scrolls. A symbol revealed is two fragments reunited which restore the full meaning and prove the identities of the rightful owners.
