THE COPPER SCROLL

Zoroaster was the founder of one of oldest, still existing religions or religious movements, on this planet. Recent studies have proven that Zoroaster lived between 1400 – 1200 BC, somewhere in Persia. He divided the world into two opposite forces. Good and evil; darkness or light. The so-called “Copper Scroll”, one of the many scrolls found around Qum'ran. This was a central place of worship and studies for the Essenes, a pre-christian sect, which the Romans slaughtered and driven out of Qum'ran. It seemed that the Essenes sensed that they were doomed (which they thought anyway) and they hid their library in the desert caves. The first scrolls were discovered by shepherds and many more followed. After World War 2 many scrolls, papyri and documents have been found. In total it set historical and religious thinking up side down. A gospel of Thomas was found, a gospel of Mary Magdalene and even a gospel of Judas. Mary Magdalena's gospel consists of a few scratches of parchment, but the message was sensational. It clearly stated, that Jesus kissed Mary on the …. Nobody knows for sure, because rats ate away the rest of the sentence. But I am not so sure about that.

“The Copper scroll” is one of the few metallic scrolls or booklets found. It could date from before the birth of Jesus. This scroll contains information about that war, mentioned by Zoroaster. 7 wars would be fought. 6 of them have passed. Three of the wars were won by darkness, three of them by “the light”. We live in the stale-mate before the last, definitive war. For cosmic reasons Zoroaster and the writer of the “Copper Scroll” believed that good will triumph. Many religions are openly praying for the arrival of a leader and spiritual guide. He will do the fighting for us.

I am not so sure about that either.

What major decisive wars do I know of. At school we learned more about the occupation by the Romans, then they did about World War 1 and even, World War 2. In Russia the liberation from the Nazi's is still a driving and inspiring force. But later on I got slightly possessed by this period and especially, what did my family do, my future parents. World War One was a slaughterhouse too. Millions of victims. It toppled 4 empires. The Austrian-Hungarian, Russian, German and Ottoman dynasties were, in Russia four sure, replaced by secular government. This was a definite change of power. Had the good side one? And what happened to the entourage of the royal court and the heirs to the throne. The German Elite did choose for Hitler. Not out of revenge, but they thought that he could win.
