For the first time, two of Israel’s Dead Sea Scrolls, dating from c.200 BC and written in Hebrew and Aramaic - the language of the Jews of Palestine - are to be displayed publically in Denver. One reads Musar LeMevin, instruction to One who understands. Two artifacts, two messages to the world. Absolute, unequivocal, undeniable proof that Israel has always been the land of the Jewish people, and the importance of understanding. Stephen Hawking, who died this week, knew that. To be able to explain his supreme knowledge of physics from a physically-useless body he used a remarkable, world-beating voice microchip developed in Israel. He died on Einstein’s birth date and the 300th anniversary of the death of Gallileo, Hawking’s now famous instruction being Look to the stars not to your feet. Maybe the title of his book should read A short history of timing?  In an increasingly dangerous world, we should all learn something from both Israel and Hawking. Biblical history is shouting to us from the cosmos. Understand each other before it’s too late.
