The Jeselsohn stone, named after its owner Dr. David Jeselsohn, a Swiss antiquities collector, is also known as "Gabriel's vision" or "Gabriel's revelation", and is a three-foot-tall tablet with 87 lines of Hebrew written in two, partially preserved columns, containing a collection of apocalyptic prophecies. The stone, dated to the late first century BCE, was found near the Dead Sea and, according to some scholars who have studied it, is a rare example of a stone with ink writings from that era. Some define it as a Dead Sea Scroll on stone. What makes the Jeselsohn stone so interesting is the 80th line of the inscription on the stone which has caused some spirited debate across the globe. Some biblical scholars believe that the partially obscured text supports a controversial theory that the story of a Messiah who would be resurrected from the dead after three days may have originated in Jewish tradition.
