This incredible discovery could prove to be the most important thing since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The ancient collection of 70 tiny books bound with wire, could reveal some of the biggest secrets of the early days of Christianity.
As everything that challenged conventional thinking and science, the discovery of these artifacts has caused experts to have divided opinions and to question their authenticity. Located on these miniature pages are images, symbols and words that seem to refer to the Messiah and, possibly, to the crucifixion and resurrection. But most importantly, some of the books are sealed, arousing doubts among academics if these could actually be the lost collection of codices mentioned in the Book of Revelations in the Bible. Dr. Margaret Barker, former president of the Society for the Study of the Old Testament, said, “The Book of Revelations speaks of sealed books that were only open for the Messiah. There are other texts of the same period of history that speak of great wisdom that has been locked away in the sealed books. These contain a secret tradition passed by Jesus to his closest disciples.
The books were found in a cave situated in a remote part of Jordan known to be a location to where Christian refugees fled after the fall of Jerusalem. Other important and authentic documents of the same period have previously been discovered in the area.
Jordanian government officials are in talks at the highest levels to repatriate and safeguard the historical collection.
After the discovery by Jordanian Bedouin, this potentially “priceless treasure” was acquired by an Israeli who said he smuggled the books outside the border into Israel, where they remain.
After initial studies, metallurgical testing indicates that some of the books would go back to sometime near the first century after Christ. Some researchers believe this discovery to be one of the most important findings in history, crucial evidence from the beginning of the Christian era, prior to the writings of St. Paul.
These writings could contain, within their inscriptions, contemporary stories of the final days of Jesus’ life. David Elkington, a British scholar of ancient religious history and archeology, and one of the few to examine the books, said that might well be “the greatest discovery in the history of Christianity.” “It’s exciting to think that we in the hands objects that may have been held by the early saints of the Church,” he added.
Philip Davies, emeritus professor of biblical studies at the University of Sheffield, believes that this is an authentic historical findings. according to Davies, there is strong evidence that the books have a Christian origin because there are plaques showing a map of the holy city of Jerusalem. According to professor Davies, there is a cross in the foreground, and behind it is something which could be interpreted as a grave. The books seem to describe the crucifixion that takes place outside the walls of the city.

“…the lost collection of codices mentioned in the Book of Revelations in the Bible.”
There is no ‘lost collection of codices’ mentioned in the Book of Revelation, nor in any other Book of the Bible. Way to establish motive right out of the gate.
“There are other texts of the same period of history that speak of great wisdom that has been locked away in the sealed books.”
That didn’t even rise to the level of sleight-of-hand. So no, these imagined codices are not mentioned in Scripture, but they’re spoken of in OTHER texts of the same period. First the lie, then the rejection of the lie, all in the first few paragraphs. This is about as honest as your side gets, Jeffery. And you brazenly associate yourself with this noise by reposting it beneath your banner? Why? Can’t you do any better than this?
So the liars:
“These contain a secret tradition passed by Jesus to his closest disciples.”
So the Word:
John 18:20
I spake OPENLY to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said NOTHING.
Believe whom you will.
