Ancient Patriarchs in the Dead Sea Scrolls: Interview with Ken Johnson

The Talmud teaches that the ancient patriarchs were all prophets, and that each one of them left testaments for their descendants to read. These contain commands for their children, moral lessons, and prophecy. This legend is not only repeated among the Essene community, but fragments of twenty such records have been found in the Dead Sea scrolls.

Ken’s book shares the testaments of Enos (Adam’s grandson), Enoch, Lamech (Noah’s father), Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Levi, Judah, Naphtali, Joseph, Benjamin, Kohath (son of Levi, and father of Amram), Amram (father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam), and Aaron. In addition, he addresses many extra-biblical prophecies of the Messiah, including Aaron’s warning about the Messiah's First Coming.

This was a fascinating episode - an awesome crossover between theology, church history and the gifts of the Spirit.

Highly recommend!
