Yeshua the Fence Builder


The Mishnah, which is called the Oral Law, records the sayings and teachings of generations of Jewish teachers. Its earliest teachers preceded or were contemporaries of Yeshua (the real name of “Jesus”).

And he was handed the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had unrolled the scroll, he found the place where it was written . . . Between late 1946 and early 1947 the first Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in Qumran Cave 1 , by a group of three Ta'amireh shepherds, near the Ein Feshka spring off the northwest shore of the Dead Sea. One of those scrolls is the Great Isaiah Scroll . It is the oldest complete copy of the Book of Isaiah , being approximately 1000 years older than the oldest Hebrew manuscripts known before the discovery....
