Special Biblical Scrolls Display Dedication

October 4, 2025 at 11:00 a.m.


Special dedication event of the new scroll display housing a collection of Old Testament Hebrew Scrolls.

The special dedication even is on the week of Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. Present on that day will be Jewish archaeologist Eli Shukrun who discovered the Pool of Siloam, the Altar of Melchizedek, and the Pomegranate Bell from the hem of the High Priest's garment in Jerusalem. Archaeologist Scott Stipling will describe sacrificial bones discovered at Shiloh in Israel. Present from Fiji - the uttermost distance from Jerusalem on earth - will be High Court Justice Asa Asawa. Special guest speaker will be Messianic Jewish Pastor Mark Robinson. His message will be "Jesus and Yom Kippur - the Day of Atonement." Maryanne Mize, Charles Garrett, and Ted Vanlandeghem will give testimonies. Pastor Jim Scudder will offer the Dedicatory Prayer. Special guest vocalist will sing “I Bowed On My Knees and Cried Holy”, and “The Holy City.” And, Violinist Isaac Young will close with "The Hallelujah Chorus"!  We need your presence to make this a day of Glorious Victory in the Messiah!

This is one of the greatest events in the history of the Creation Evidence Museum. This event defines the purpose and enhances the scope of our ministry until our Lord returns. Our focus is on evidence for creation; and the most profound evidence for creation and redemption is the written Word of God, beginning with the original creation events accurately recorded in the ancient Hebrew Scrolls in the Book of Genesis.

To the knowledge of researchers, there are only five complete collection sets (Genesis through Malachi) of the ancient Old Testament Hebrew Scrolls in existence. Three sets are housed in the Vatican in Rome, but they are not available for public viewing. One set is owned by a private collector in the Houston area, but it is also not available for public viewing. The Christian Heritage Foundation of Cleburne, Texas, spent thirty years collecting the last extremely rare complete set of the Old Testament Hebrew Scrolls at great effort and great expense. The stated purpose of the entity's founder, the late Walter Mize, was "to bless Israel and to make their Biblical Scrolls available for public viewing." And, this is the only complete set available for public viewing in the entire world.

The Christian Heritage Foundation has now GIFTED THIS EXTREMELY RARE COMPLETE SET OF OLD TESTAMENT HEBREW SCROLLS TO THE CREATION EVIDENCE MUSEUM! We are overwhelmed and heartfully indebted to Maryanne Mize, the Christian Heritage Foundation Owner, and Charles Garrett, the entity's President, for carrying out the wishes of Walter Mize, the entity's Founder, to see that Israel continues to be blessed with the ongoing display of these priceless scrolls for public viewing. Our gratitude will be shown by displaying these treasures in the most effective way possible.

CHF Messianic Jewish Associate Ted Vanlandeghem was emotionally moved by the simultaneous convergence of the delivery of the Hebrew Scrolls to CEM and the Shiloh Tabernacle sacrificial bones we are DNA-sequencing in our Lab. He wrote, "What a powerful moment that was to carry into the Museum the Ancient Treasury of God's Word and then hold in my hands the bone of this ancient sacrifice that Eli and Samuel would have likely gazed upon. This bone is a powerful prophetic picture of Yeshua / Jesus... the final sacrificial Lamb who takes away the sin of the world."

In their public presentations CHF President Charles Garrett appropriately explains the Hebrew "kanaf" ("wing, corner, or hem" referred to in Malachi 4:2): "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings" as a prophesy of the coming Messiah. He then demonstrates the Jewish "Tallit" garment as having "wing hems" that could be touched by the woman with an issue of blood in Matthew 9:20. This seeking Jewish woman recognized that her Hebrew Scriptures were fulfilled by Jesus of Nazareth.

With these pointers from CHF in mind, here is our plan for public display of these priceless Scroll Treasures to bless Jews and Gentiles alike:

1. The two-inch thick LED-lighted acrylic support foundation will run around the entire parameter of the museum's second level banisters, and will match the supports under the Ark model. This heavy acrylic structure will form a representation of the twelve foundations of the New Jerusalem with the names of the twelve Apostles, with Gates of Pearl including the names of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. LED lighting will match the colors of the stones listed on the High Priest's Breastplate and in the New Jerusalem.

2. Above this foundation will rest the LED-lighted base for the Scrolls. The Scrolls will be encased in UV-filtered acrylic cases for long-term protection.

3. Near the center of the open Scroll arrangement will be placed a large acrylic replica of the Breastplate worn by the High Priest. The names of the Twelve Tribes and their representative stones will be embedded in the LED-lighted Breastplate.

4. At appropriate passages in the open Scrolls will appear electronic displays of prophecies relating to the promised Messiah.

5. Adjacent to each Scroll will be placed a vintage New Testament Bible with electronic notations showing where Jesus Christ fulfilled all these prophecies. Electronic software will also be installed to permit scholars and lay-people to read all the passages in Hebrew, Greek, and English.

6. At the appropriate position in the foundation will be a large acrylic LED-lighted Cornerstone embedded with "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever." (Hebrews 13:8) and "...a Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek" (Psalm 110:4).

This professionally designed layout for these priceless Treasures will be very expensive to build. We need your diligent prayers for our Lord to provide financial participation from all who have a heart for this ministry.
