Just asking and I'll probably make a fool of myself & this discussion
will likely go on forever with such esoteric compounds, but if we accept
for a minute that Jesus if he ever existed had at least some relation to
the Essenes, what language were the Dead Sea scrolls or various other
apocrypha written in? And were they entirely unfamiliar, in the light of
Messianic prophesies, and assuming for a moment that JC believed himself
to be the fulfillment of those prophecies, with such concepts as the
ones at hand, I repeat:

"When my day is upon us, a chosen one shall be reborn of body and
spirit."

I have an old translation of the Scrolls right here but I have a feeling
Peter Daniels can put me right straightaway.
