The Scroll
Of Times
There have
been Scrolls
written,
From many
centuries
ago,
All down through
the times.
On parchment
paper we're
told.

Words of the
Heavenly Father,
Written by
inspiration,
By those He
chose to write
them,
For His special
occasions.

It is believed
the Dead Sea
Scrolls,
Searching
for a stray
goat gone
astray,
Were found
in jars by
a young shepherd
boy,
In a Judean
desert cave.

There are
Dead Sea Scrolls,
Believed to
have been
found in the
land,
Of Masada,
Ein Gedi,
and Qumran,
Archaeological
Sites of interest
to man.

There were
fragments
from eleven
caves,
The questions
remain as
to who and
where,
Why were they
placed in
a cave?
Who placed
them there?

There are
all types
of Scrolls.
Scrolls for
birthdays,
graduations
and such,
But most are
interested
in,
Scrolls of
Ancient History
and Biblical
Scrolls,
That reveal
to us so much.

Shortly after
the discovery
of the Dead
Sea Scrolls,
The Scrolls
and Qumran
Ruin, established
as indeed
ancient,
From the time
when Jesus
of Nazareth
lived,
And older
than any other
surviving
manuscript.

What do they
mean as to
Judaism and
Christianity,
Of what importance
are they today?
Maybe to help
us understand,
The importance
about God's
way.

There are
tens of thousands
of fragments,
Yet to be
reconstructed,
Concerning
perhaps the
nature of
the Qumran,
And more about
their culture.

In the ancient
Roman Village
of Herculaneum,
Some mysterious
Scrolls were
found from
centuries
ago,
Buried by
an eruption
of Mount Vesuvius
in 79 A.D.
Entombed in
lava and ash,
the Papyruses
survived as
told.

We'll never
know of all
the past,
Not In this
lifetime we're
in,
But much can
be learned
from Scrolls,
And how so
many lived
and how their
life had been.

We'll know
just what
the Master
opens up to
us,
And someday
we can know
it all.
But until
this life
is over,
We'll be content
until He makes
that call.
