Testimonia

== TESTIMONIA or Messianic Anthology ==
The Qumran text [4QTest (4Q175)] is the best example of Old Testament Testimonia which includes five biblical quotations connected by interpretation. The first two quotations refer to the raising up of a prophet like Moses. The third quotation refers to a royal Messiah, the fourth to a priestly Messiah. The quotation from Joshua is connected to the coming of a time of great disaster, brought on by those dedicated to evil. Pieces of the messianic puzzle from a non-Christian document, no less. The manuscript is usually dated to the middle of the first century B.C.E. This one-page Dead Sea Scroll (4Q175) which seems to be the beginning of the sectarian evolution in messianic thought leading up to the Christian interpretation of the second entry below pertaining to Priest-King Messiah as a single entity. There are more references to one Messiah than two Messiahs in the DSS. The name like the BRANCH had to be Jeshua (Aramaic of Ezra 5:2) according to Zechariah. He was born to be Messiah. One for the ages, did Jesus follow a script, and if so, did he write it himself, the living moving temple discourse (Matt. 26: 61)? Something fascinated Andrew and John (beloved) for two hours on that first day with the Master, something that would be embedded in the memory forever. Insert the word in the Christian equation that is the Gospel of John. We know that His Testimonia (of Moses and the Prophets) is true:
:* John 1: 45 + John 21: 24
The Apostle John, later, apparently regurgitates or rehashes just such a little prophecy book in Revelation 10: 11. That Greek word for booklet, biblaridion, is the diminutive of the diminutive of biblion and is described as being held in one hand by the angel, evidently only a few pages. The impression is that an open scroll would require two hands. The modern day biblaridion is formulated as a Wikibook under Biblical Studies/Christianity: The Gospel of John.
Additional mention of Moses and the Prophets:
:* Luke 16: 31, Luke 24: 27, Luke 24: 44 
:* Acts 26: 22-23, Acts 28: 23
Other References:
:* Weymouth N.T. Appendix/Additional Notes on Mark 1:2
::"The first quotation [attributed to Isaiah], which is from Malachi, is inaccurate. It is either copied from Matthew 11: 10 (=Luke 7: 27) or from a book of Testimonies, in which Messianic oracles from the O.T. were collected. Perhaps, both quotations are later interpolations in Mark. They are awkwardly introduced, and it is the only instance in this gospel where Mark quotes prophecy on his own account."
:::To counter Weymouth here: An obvious compiled statement of prophecy that could not be changed (until the Vulgate omitted the word Isaiah) would rather lend itself to come from the Savior's own testimony which stood as unimpeachable. This is inherent in the Gospel of Mark being the earliest record overall. The key word in Mark's prophecy is "written" versus "spoken" by Isaiah in Matthew 3: 3. The source could have been a written commentary on Isaiah similar to 4Q175 above. As far as Malachi being identifiable, the LXX takes the word not as a proper name but as a common noun, and renders ‘my messenger’, which is the meaning of the Hebrew word. Other N.T. prophecies quote the LXX text.
:::To elevate Weymouth: HE IS before all things, and in and through Him the universe is one harmonious whole. (Col. 1:17)
