- There's a lot more than Bible in the Dead Sea Scrolls and in this video we'll talk about most of it.

Previous Dead Sea Scroll video: • What Are the Dead Sea ...
The Thrawn Trilogy is higher canon than the Disney Trilogy as far as I'm concerned. And I'm not the only one.
Just wish they'd simply recast the actors (to have the correct ages for the novels, sad but true).... forget the stupid PC movement... and make the Zahn books into movies. Nuff said. Boom Star Wars saved and probably better actors and new faces to boot.
Heck they could make a TV series off of the The New Jedi Order books ALONE when the Yuzhan Vong take over because of the PC movement taking over the Star Wars universe politically... thus why the Vong were able to take over so easily. Like the previous 8 years for us... have an enemy, not allowed to name it, so no fear of it, afraid to retaliate, thus getting taken over by the false 'new normal' as if we have to be beat down the whole people because we should all feel guilty because of the country we live in... preposterous.
I 100% support this comment.
Darn straight.
@Da Cashman Calm down, man, Star Wars is all fiction, anyway. And as the Disney Trilogy story wasn't written by Lucas, it was written by fans, a.k.a. fan fiction. Some of us just prefer the fiction of some fans over the fiction of others. But no one said "canon" had to be decided unilaterally. To parallel the scriptural canon, there were many different versions of the canon that developed over time before they were (more or less) resolved.

Matt I think you are the only person who can skillfully, and believable, draw a connection between a box of Apple Jacks and the Dead Sea Scrolls. I had no idea there was that much other stuff among the Scrolls. Very interesting and entertaining
Are you purposely ignoring Star Wars? 😡
I just pictured Indy showing up to where the scrolls were found, yelling, “It belongs in a museum!”
“It’s a bar of dove soap. That reminds me about something in the DSS.”
A+ segway
I like the idea that all the rules about nakedness all had to come into place because of this ONE guy who everyone got sick of
Vasily the Blessed is a Saint canonized by the Orthodox church and his whole thing was running around naked yelling at people and crying while shouting at the sky. "Fools for Christ" are a type of Saint where they appear insane or inappropriate to outsiders but when viewed by the lens of a believer they are extremely on the pulse and appropriate.
Lovely message. Whoever is reading this focus on Jesus no matter how bad your situation looks like God will never fail you.
Praise God 🙏
Pretending is never good!
@@snowrider4495 no one is pretending
Our Lord Jesus Christ did not establish a religion. Our Lord did not establish Christianity. Our Lord gave us one Church.
@@JamesMartinelli-jr9mh tell that to muslims, Judaism, Zuesers, RA and SET,ect? And prove your god,
That intro was great!
Matt, this has to be one of your best videos. It's creative as well as educational. For me, the most impressive "fact" is the accuracy of pre-Qumran biblical texts that have been hand-written for almost 2,000 years with NO major textural errors. All the very best, Luke, an Arizona Cowboy
I will never look at a box of AppleJacks in the same way. . . ever again. Thoroughly, an entertaining and thought provoking presentation, Matt. Thank you.

Just listening to your Dead Sea scroll episode on the ‘No Dumb Questions’ podcast. Loved it!
A New The Ten Minute Bible Hour...One more proof there is a God and he wants me to be Happy!
with apologies to Ben Franklin :-)
Why am I laughing so hard at this???
Just in, a new rodent was discovered near the West Bank ... they call it Dead Sea squirrel.
😂
If you are against the Apocrypha/Deutrocanonicals being part of the Bible, I would avoid bringing up the Thrawn Trilogy. It was part of the Star Wars Expanded Universe that was canon until Disney bought the franchise from George Lucas. The Catholics would say that Protestants did the same thing with the Apocrypha that Disney did with Star Wars.
The Catholics are wrong. Jewish scribes created both texts. The Septuagint and the Masoretic. Catholics didn't add anything and Protestants didn't remove anything. Stop causing divisions. That being said, pretty sure Lucas is also a Jew.
@@larrywarner1630 And my point about the Star Wars Thrawn Trilogy was that his analogy acutally refutes his argument.
Excellent further extension of the analogy, Charlie. I love when Protestants call you "divisive" when they literally have been dividing Christianity for 500 years!
@@p.doetsch6209 Protestants never intended to leave the Roman Church, the murderous sprees of papist forced it. Who is divisive?
@@larrywarner1630 It’s so easy for people to judge others without taking the time to deeply analyze the reasons and the history that lead to those events to occur. Yes, around the time of the reform were dark times for the catholic church, but what was the main reason leading to that dark period? Around 1350 occurred something in the known world that was the equivalent of a massive nuclear war, in the course of 10 years the ‘’black death’’ killed more than 50% of the worlds population, but in the church it took more than 75% of the priests, deacons, monks, nuns, etc. because they were in charge of taking care of the ill and the dying, thus were put in risk from contracting this devastating pandemic. To make up for the lack of personnel to attend the multiple church services and obligations pushed the church to relax the selection process and the requirements (the lord of the manor would now see a young peasant boy that look bright and would recommend him to be a deacon for example), celibacy had been in stablished in the church since 371 (the council of Elvira) but under such circumstances many of the new priest became married, many of them didn’t even had the grace of vocation or couldn’t even read properly, and had no previous knowledge of the early church traditions. This situation starting to generate deep corruption within the church and lead into practices like the selling of indulgences, the bishops were appointed or nominated by the kings lead to corrupt popes like Alexander VI, etc. The “reformation” starting with Luther in the 1517 (he wasn´t the first reformer at that period btw, he own much to Cardinal Viterbo and to Saint Catherin of Genoa) should have been like any other movements of reform that the catholic church had in the past (reforms that lead the church to correct its ways, like the ones lead by Saint Augustin, Thomas Aquinas, etc.) but unfortunately Luther “reform” lead into the split of the church mainly because of some of the new doctrines that he pushed like “grazia sola” (for grace alone are we saved) or “sola scriptura” (that only the scripture was the only authority) that completely contradicted the tradition of the church and the church fathers (many of which received the oral tradition directly from the apostles and many others who were responsible for stablishing the cannon of the old and the new testament for the church). The catholic church had a reform in that period though, reformers like Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Saint Catherine of Genoa, Saint Teresa of Avila, Saint John of the Cross, Saint Philip Neri, etc. Reform led to the council of Trent that paid close attention to some good points that the protestant “reform” offered and corrected its ways.
That was great intro Matt!!! God bless you, greetings from Christian Catholic brother in God.
Thank you for your review on the Dead Sea scrolls. I received my copy today. Glad to be on this journey.
BEST CEREAL BOX EVER!! I never get those things in my box! Thanks Matt for good info and outrageous deliveries. I am so glad to have found you! Long time watcher!
Really? I find grenades in my cereal all the time! 😂
This is amazing 🤣 brings the community to life. That rule part makes me think of how there was always that one kid at school or a camp that caused new rules to be made- there's always a story behind oddly specific rules
“No Pokemon cards in the playground, this is slowly becoming an anarcho-capitalist dystopia”
Hey, Matt, I see you gesticulating with your left hand there! Start your pennance!
Story there?
Edit: OH!!
@@Paulthored well now I'm confused 😕
@@4309chris I'd seen the comment above, about using his left hand.
Before watching the video. So I was wondering if there was a story about this, that I had missed in a previous video.
Then I watched the video. Oh! That's what the Left Hand comment meant!!
That's basically what happened.
God Bless! ✌😇⛪
Im so confused
Your videos always make stuff like this fun to watch. Thank you so much for these!
Thank you Matt for sharing your time with all of us and educating us in ways we may not approach studies with regularly, God bless.
I'm starting to think he's just putting those things in that box. To me it seems like they would be crammed. You have been EXPOSED SIR !
😂
This was so helpful and very entertaining! I just discovered your channel and can't wait to watch more of your videos!
Thanks Matt! Very interesting content today!
Ive been waiting for this video to come out! YES!
Interesting, educational, and fun, Matt. You are very good at creating these videos.
Matt I loved your presentation! Thank you for teaching us about the dead sea scrolls.
Hey, Matt! Would you consider talking to a Calvanist theologian or pastor in the same style you did with Jeremy?
He should let Douglas Wilson grill him... and let Doug grill us all...
Im a calvinist (not a pastor or anything though)
Yes, please do. It would be great! 😊
Your videos are awesome! Very good explainations, bytheway!
Scholars have determined that the Old Testament translations from the Scrolls, coincide more with the Greek Septuagint version than the current Hebrew version. Thus the Dead Sea Scrolls are the oldest Old Testament documents.
From what I've heard, it's a mix. Some are closer to the LXX, (more I think) are closer to the Masoretic (i.e. the modern hebrew version in the main part).
No! Read Isaiah 30.
Absolutely love your videos brother. Keep it up!!
I absolutely love your videos! You are hilarious and also give good information. Glad I found your channel.
Thank you so much LaToya! Glad you're here!
Brother you blew up in subscriptions congratulations! Praise God that people are coming to hear the word
This is an absolutely brilliant presentation, fun for adults and teens alike! Thanks Matt! And thank God for giving you the wits to do this!
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and knowledge!
Love the analogies.
Thanks for this. It’s really interesting.
“ free toy inside!” Look up Weird Al Yankovic is movie UHF. The janitor opens a box of cereal just to get the toy inside also he’s a really known actor now but he wasn’t when he played that part.
Dude. Thank you so much for all that you do!
This video auto-played after a Business Blaze video, and the intro is exactly the sort of rant Simon would go on. I was so excited that Matt was doing a cameo on Business Blaze...
Matt! Dude this is why I love you my brotha..
You just took one of thee most important archeological discoveries in the history of mankind and explained it using freakin Apple Jacks™️ and freakin free cereal prizes...
AND IT ACTUALLY WORKS!
A massive round of applause is deserved NAY required.
👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks! I was hoping people would have more fun with it and remember it better this way. Say hi to Gavin for me.
The Ten Minute Bible Hour haha yeah I probably should switch back to my actual name. I’m pretty sure the whole red dead redemption fanaticism has passed🤣😂
But you absolutely killed it on this one. This will definitely be my go to video reference when people ask me “why aren’t there cereal prizes??”
Wait no..that’s not right ..umm umm..the scrolls!
FYI, Protestant Bibles, both the 1560 Geneva and the 1611 KJV, contained the Letter of Jeremiah at the end of Baruch
He means including it as scripture, not including it as an appendix.
IamGrimalkin yeah men like Luther had no idea what was and wasn’t Scripture seeing that he wanted to take out James as well. I put no stock in them to determine much of anything. Their desire to be the opposite of most everything Catholic drove them more than anything else. Sorry.
As far as the Anglican view of the Apocrypha which represents the 1611 KJV it is included to be read in the morning and evening prayers. On top of that the 1611 cross referenced the Apocrypha dozens if not hundreds of times between the OT and NT but these references have been lost in later editions of the KJV. In every Bible I’ve ever owned cross references have been given to point to other Scriptures so it’s not an “appendix” as you claim.
Now as far as the Geneva Bible goes it was the first to include the chapter and verse numbering to the Scriptures. If they considered it nothing more than an “appendix” then why would they apply the chapter and verse format which is used only for Scripture?? What say you??
Keep up the good work brother
Your intros, good sir, are magical.
Oh my goodness that was so fun and informative...
Really enjoying this series Matt, thanks for explaining everything in such a fun and interesting way! Now then.... where do I find a box of Apple Jacks with all that neat stuff? (minus the hand grenade of course) Much love - Stewart and Julie
Awesome and amazing!!! Thanks for this! :)
The Deuterocanonical texts were declared scripture right along with the rest of Scripture from the very beginning, when the Bible was formally compiled into the official canon in 395 AD. Some leaders of the Church went through periods where they viewed these books as secondary, but most of them came to regard them as fully equal to the rest of scripture by the time they died. Jerome initially thought they were not very important, but he too came to regard them as fully equal to the rest of the Old Testament in his later years.
Love this comparison!!! U are a genius Matt! 🤯
the cereal box for references was genius 😂
This was a fantastic video, man
Very nice Bro! I like your 10 Minute Bible Power Hour!
Oh boy, Another Video. I visited Qumran once. 😍
I have come to really love your channel. You seamlessly juxtapose the bible with everyday modern concepts/things and bring out a truly rich bible lesson that even the most skeptical person will want to listen what you are talking about. .... Until today I never knew the dead see scrolls contains other literature eg war scrolls , bible commentaries, Horoscopes etc . I always thought {based on the first time I heard about them } that they only contain all the bible except the book of Esther . Also thanks for explaining succinctly Why the book of Esther is Possibly missing.
Suffice to say that TMBH has taken Apologetics and Polemics in a very unique and fresh path.
Receive My Love and pray for the good work you are doing .
Watching all the way from Nairobi Kenya.
Excellent video!
You sure the founders of Applejacks are named Dick and Linda Applejack? I can’t locate a source for that? Is it maybe on the copper scroll?
Loved the vid! I don't think the fact that because there weren't many fragments from the aprocrypha, it shows that they weren't important and not considered canon. Some books like Joshua, Ecclesiastes got less fragments. I assume not because they were unimportant but because many of the Dead Sea scroll fragments have been damaged and made illegible.
Great video Matt, from pulling out Spongebob, to pulling out Eusebius, and Star Wars book, can't forget the bar of soap neither and then tying those all together with the Dead Sea Scrolls.
P.S. Dead Sea Scrolls is a dope name as well lol.
Awesome as always! Subscribed & Bell Icon rung!
Side note the red border made it look like I had already watched the video on iOS.
Excellent note. I will change that; thank you!
In ALL my decades- and specifically in college at a big state university where I took a NT class to satisfy an elective- NEVER HAVE I HEARD such an EXCELLENT break down and specificities of the Dead Sea Scrolls. You e done a masterful job as to WHY we should look at them more critically! Thank you Matt! You ARE A TREASURE & I am sharing your channel far and wide. Your gift is enormous to the now dulled, dumbed down minds of the millennial + generation.
Thanks very much for the vote of confidence. These were a blast to make.
@@MattWhitmanTMBH are you on your new site. Just saw a TicTok short or vid short saying you are. Thx Deb 🥰🌴
Can't take it anymore Matt! You sit and talk in front of those massive bookshelves with that massive selection of books. Can we get a video on your library, please?
Your analogy to the toy in cereal is EXACTLY CORRECT. I greatly appreciate your insight.
Brilliantly well done.
I'm enjoying all this. Makes me think of what our "time capsules" will lead to when opened?!
Ay I appreciate your content 👌🏼and I’m from Wyoming so I extra appreciate it
Fun & informative !
Thanks !
Thanks for making it fun.
It was a good entertaining session to introduce an old manuscript like dead sea scrolls.
There is a lot of stuf in that apple jacks cereal box!
Lawsuits might be incoming, considering the literal 'explosive' nature of a certain item!
All kidding aside, LOVE this video. It enlightens us in a fun and engaging way
Keep up the amazing work, Matt!
Idea: come to Amish country, PA! There’s a bunch of branches. Thanks for your videos!
Nice use of the apple Jack's! Cereal toys for the win 😆
That box of apple jacks sure does have an interesting mix of items inside.
If you're ever over in Israel it's very easy to get to. We were headed back from a tour of Masada, and driving next two the Dead Sea and just about back to the beginning of the dead sea where there was a place to go swimming (also a must do) and looked off to the left (going north we'd be looking west) and all of a sudden there was that very recognizable cave. "Stop! Stop!", our guide was like, " you know what that is"?" It wasn't at all well publicized/signage (this was 20 years ago) , but once you turned off the highway and checked it out, it had a lot more than you could see from the highway. Well worth the visit.
Awesome! Thank you.
Nice intro!
Instant like simply for this hilarious analogy with the cereal. I love your videos every time Matt.
Good stuff! Might be worth adding that the Book of Enoch is Cannon in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church -
Funny how arbitrarily the people of different branches of religion decided the Bible includes the “books” they want to include and edit out the books they want to leave out. All the books were written by someone either “channeling”’ god or giving their opinion, so what makes them better than anything someone “channels” now or writes today? If the books were actually scribed by Jesus then it would be different.
I suddenly feel the urge to wear a brown fedora... and possibly move to Qumran
That calendar stuff reminds me on of the quest to find the tallest naturally grown cactus in Minecraft. A lot of thinking and a lot of work to find out the best solution for a problem most people don't care about.
This is so creative and informative 😂👌
I appreciate the work you do on this channel, but I have one complaint: it's inaccurate to say that nobody considers the Book of Enoch canon, it's survived in Ge'ez, considered canon by both Christians and Jews of Ethiopia and Eritrea.
To counterbalance my complaint with a compliment - I thoroughly enjoy the framing bit at the beginning of each video! You're really talented at reeling the viewer in, thank you for keeping things fun, entertaining, and understandable. I also love your interviews with members of other denominations, and am excited to see more of those. Do you ever think of interviewing someone from a Muslim or non-"Christian" denomination?
Thanks again for the content 👍
Matt, that military excerpt you read is I think their military doctrine. It sounds like how they would conduct battle hypothetically, at least to me, thought that was interesting, thanks for this series it's fascinating.
Man thank you so much!!! I have my work cutout for me haha
Hey sweet. My men's bible study just finished our study using Bock's commentary on Acts.
The book of Ester could have been what the boy's mom used as paper to start cooking fires with. It is sad, but she actually did apparently use some of the scrolls to do that, so some scrolls will be missing.
Much of That “other stuff” is not “other stuff”. It’s parts of scripture that have been fully acknowledged all along by the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox Churches. Protestants call these things “apocrypha”. Luther removed this stuff because no original Hebrew texts of them were still in known existence. This other stuff was only known to exist in Ancient Greek texts, but the Dead Sea Scrolls changed all that because much of these extra books and additions to Daniel and Esther were there and they were in Hebrew.
Love this!
Ive watched 2 videos about this and now im getting an ad for learning biblical hewbrew
Man, what a haul! I need to go buy a box of Apple Jacks!
But Apple Jacks didn’t want to sponsor the video!
This is really entertaining and informative hahaha
Whoa!!! Funk beats and the Dead Sea scrolls? That is definitely takin’ it to the bridge on the one. “Pow!!! Here is your surprise.” 😀
Excellent
What a creative video!
I was hoping you would present the recording of Batnaclese and Testiclese!
Hey Matt, What do you think of the Assembly of God pastor from Kentucky and his prophetic dreams/visions?
We have a family meeting each week where we thrash out how to function well as a family. We keep minutes and write down particular consequences, rules and ideas on how to run well. The nudity guidelines felt very familiar... Excellent work Matt, I loved it 😁
Subbed after seeing the intro.
In Germany, they didn't put the toy inside of the cereal, but outside of the plastic bag inside the cardboard box. Was / Is that the case as well in the USA? Because I've only ever seen it on TV Shows, that the toy falls right out of the cereal bag into the bowl.
Some did it that way. But before that it was in with cereal
Yup. Many kids would just stick their dirty arm in the cereal to dig for it. No patience lol
Yeah... originally they were IN the cereal, but after about 10 to 12 years (or more) the companies wised up and started putting then in between the bag and box and not IN the cereal
Are you talking about cereal or the Apocrypha?
I'm an American and I never encountered a toy being directly in the cereal. It was always outside of the bag. So I never had a toy fall out into my bowl, like he explains, or like how cereal commercials would show.
Kinda disappointed me as a kid. But not as much as it would disappoint me to get cereal and realize that you only got the toy from a mail order. Lol
First, I love the way you present stuff! I've been an avid Bible student for years and appreciate the way you teach. Having said that, I've heard some Jewish historians postulate that Yeshua was an Essene, and probably John the Baptist as well, what's your take on that? Do you think he was part of their sect? Maybe was the one they described? Or maybe took teaching from them, or I'd say in reverse, maybe they had some things right that the Sadducees and Pharisees did not or had no comment on?
"I write these words in copper, for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted"
??? Hmm!?
Nice job! Well done. Now I want apple Jax 😤
I would love to see you sit down with Bishop Robert Baron of the Roman Catholic Church and discuss the 7 books that were removed at the time of the Reformation.
Or Dr. John Bergsma - I think he's an expert on the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Timothy Flanders would be well-informed. He was a Protestant, then Orthodox, now Catholic. He has a podcast: 'The Meaning of Catholic'.
