The Old Testament Hebrew Scrolls will not be available for public viewing until the protective covers have been installed. An announcement will be made when they are viewable.
This is one of the greatest displays in the history of the Creation Evidence Museum. It defines the purpose and enhances the scope of our ministry until our Lord returns. Our focus is on evidence for creation; and the most profound evidence for creation and redemption is the written Word of God, beginning with the original creation events accurately recorded in the ancient Hebrew Scrolls in the Book of Genesis.
To the knowledge of researchers, there are only five complete collection sets (Genesis through Malachi) of the ancient Old Testament Hebrew Scrolls in existence. Three sets are housed in the Vatican in Rome, but they are not available for public viewing. One set is owned by a private collector in the Houston area, but it is also not available for public viewing. The Christian Heritage Foundation of Cleburne, Texas, spent thirty years collecting the last extremely rare complete set of the Old Testament Hebrew Scrolls at great effort and great expense. The stated purpose of the entity's founder, the late Walter Mize, was "to bless Israel and to make their Biblical Scrolls available for public viewing." And, this is the only complete set available for public viewing in the entire world.
The Christian Heritage Foundation has GIFTED THIS EXTREMELY RARE COMPLETE SET OF OLD TESTAMENT HEBREW SCROLLS TO THE CREATION EVIDENCE MUSEUM! We are overwhelmed and heartfully indebted to Maryanne Mize, the Christian Heritage Foundation Owner, and Charles Garrett, the entity's President, for carrying out the wishes of Walter Mize, the entity's Founder, to see that Israel continues to be blessed with the ongoing display of these scrolls for public viewing.
CHF Messianic Jewish Associate Ted Vanlandeghem was emotionally moved by the simultaneous convergence of the delivery of the Hebrew Scrolls to CEM and the Shiloh Tabernacle sacrificial bones we are DNA-sequencing in our Lab. He wrote, "What a powerful moment that was to carry into the Museum the Ancient Treasury of God's Word and then hold in my hands the bone of this ancient sacrifice that Eli and Samuel would have likely gazed upon. This bone is a powerful prophetic picture of Yeshua / Jesus... the final sacrificial Lamb who takes away the sin of the world."
In their public presentations CHF President Charles Garrett appropriately explains the Hebrew "kanaf" ("wing, corner, or hem" referred to in Malachi 4:2): "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings" as a prophesy of the coming Messiah. He then demonstrates the Jewish "Tallit" garment as having "wing hems" that could be touched by the woman with an issue of blood in Matthew 9:20. This seeking Jewish woman recognized that her Hebrew Scriptures were fulfilled by Jesus of Nazareth.
With these pointers from CHF in mind the scroll's display will be designed to bless Jews and Gentiles alike. The LED-lit acrylic support foundation will run around the entire parameter of the museum's second level. The display structure will form a representation of the twelve foundations of the New Jerusalem with the names of the twelve Apostles, with Gates of Pearl including the names of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. LED lighting will match the colors of the stones listed on the High Priest's Breastplate and in the New Jerusalem. Above this foundation will rest the LED-lit base for the Scrolls. The Scrolls will be encased in UV-filtered acrylic cases for long-term protection. Near the center of the open Scroll arrangement will be placed a large acrylic replica of the Breastplate worn by the High Priest. The names of the Twelve Tribes and their representative stones will be embedded in the LED-lighted Breastplate. At appropriate passages in the open Scrolls will appear electronic displays of prophecies relating to the promised Messiah. Adjacent to each Scroll will be placed a vintage New Testament Bible with electronic notations showing where Jesus Christ fulfilled all these prophecies. Electronic software will also be installed to permit scholars and lay-people to read all the passages in Hebrew, Greek, and English. At the appropriate position in the foundation will be a large acrylic LED-lit Cornerstone embedded with "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever." (Hebrews 13:8) and "...a Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek" (Psalm 110:4).
This professionally designed layout for these Treasures will be very expensive to build. We need your diligent prayers for our Lord to provide financial participation from all who have a heart for this ministry.
