Holy Spirit (Quotations from Qumran Scrolls)“During the period of destruction of the land, the Boundary Movers appeared and led Israel astray. The land
was desolated because they spoke rebellion against the commandments of God through Moses, and those He
anointed with the Spirit.”“He created mankind to rule this world. Mankind has two spiritual natures in which he can walk until the timeof his Visitation. These are the Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Deceit.[ lxxix] From the source of light come thegenerations[ lxxx] of truth and from the source of darkness come the generations of deceit.”

“God’s truth will change the way of man by purifying his nature. He will remove the spirit of unrighteousness
from the innermost part of his flesh by cleansing him with a spirit of holiness which cleanses him from his
wicked works. God will sprinkle the Spirit of Truth over him like holy water, cleansing him from the abhorrent
deceit of the defilement of the unclean spirit. Then he will be able to teach the upright the knowledge of theMost High and make sure they understand the wisdom of the Sons of Heaven, perfecting their behavior. God
chose them to be in His everlasting covenant, this is the Glory of Adam. No longer will unrighteousness or
dishonorable deceit exist. Up till now, the spirit of truth and the spirit of unrighteousness war against eachother in the hearts of men. Each must choose to walk in wisdom or folly. A man who accepts the truth will
walk in righteousness and abhor unrighteousness. The lot of the unrighteous will walk in wickedness andabhor the truth. God sorts men into one of these two divisions until the appointed end and the New Creation.
He knows the result of their works throughout all the Ages. He has allowed the sons of Adam to know goodand evil and to choose for themselves their lot in life until the time of the Visitation.”

“Only by the Spirit’s true counsel of God can a man’s path, together with his iniquities, be atoned for so that
he can see the Light of Life. By following the Holy Spirit of the Community, in truth, he is cleansed of all hisiniquities. Once his spirit becomes upright and humble, his sin is atoned. When his soul accepts all the laws ofGod, his flesh will be cleansed by the sprinkling of cleansing waters because he is made holy by the waters ofrepentance. Then he will be able to perfect his walk in the ordinances of God, as He had decreed, concerning
the appointed times of his assemblies and not turn aside to the right or to the left, nor twist even one of His
ways. This is the true atonement that is pleasing to God by which he enters the covenant of the everlasting
Community.”

“Open your lips as an ever-flowing fountain, praise Him, and bless the holy. He separated you from all thespirit of flesh. So, separate yourself from everyone He hates and keep away from all abominations of theSpirit. He made everyone and gave each man his inheritance. He is your portion and your inheritance among
the sons of Adam. In His inheritance, He gave you authority. Honor Him in this way: Sanctify yourself to Him.
He set you apart to sanctify the saints.”

and no sin will be found in Him. The heavens will be opened above Him, to shed forth the blessing of theSpirit from the Holy Father. He will shed forth a spirit of grace on you. You will be to Him sons in truth, andyou will walk in His commandments, the first and the last. This is the Branch of God Most High, and this is thewell-spring unto life for all flesh.

will arise. In it will arise a rod of righteousness to the Gentiles, to judge and to save all that call upon theLord.” (Testament of Judah 24)

Those who walk in the spirit of deceit are always walking in all the ways of darkness with the evil inclination. Atthe Visitation all who walk in these things will suffer great affliction by the angels of destruction, eternallydamned by the flames of God’s revenge.
