When discussing the Dead Sea Scrolls, the term “fragments” comes-up often. It refers to the small, often broken, pieces of parchment or papyrus that make up much of the collection. Keep that in mind.

Welcome to Prophecy Updates #820, part of our ongoing Bible prophecy series from a Calvary Chapel perspective. In this episode, we explore current world trends aligning with biblical predictions about the end times. Topics include biometrics, artificial intelligence, cashless commerce, human DNA manipulation, global government, instantaneous global communication, and the push to rebuild the Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. These signs, foretold in Scripture, are accelerating like never before, offering insight into God’s prophetic timeline.
We dive into Daniel 12:4, where the prophet is told to “seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” This verse could point to a growing understanding of Bible prophecy, especially Israel’s dispensational role in the last days. Alternatively, it may predict the explosion of technology, science, and global travel in the modern era—clear end times indicators. Yet, a third interpretation ties this prophecy to the Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient manuscripts discovered between 1947 and 2021 near Qumran. These fragments, including Zechariah and Nahum translations, reveal biblical truths preserved for the end times.
The Dead Sea Scrolls connect to Elijah’s prophetic school and the Tanna Eliyihu, referenced in 3rd-century commentaries. Elijah’s words, “Truth will be found in fragments,” may foreshadow these discoveries, unveiling hidden insights from Daniel and John’s sealed writings for the last days. For deeper study, check out Dr. Ken Johnson at biblefacts.org.
This Bible study unpacks how these trends and discoveries signal the nearness of the rapture, as promised in Revelation 3:10. Jesus assures His Church protection from the coming global trial. The resurrection and rapture are imminent—nothing stands in its way. Are you ready? Get ready, stay ready, and keep looking up, because Jesus is coming soon!
