Inductive Reasoning: Qumran as the mirror of Jerusalem

Revelation 11:08 reveals the correct place of the Crucifixion to be at Qumran instead of Jerusalem:
"and their dead bodies are upon the broad-place of the great city (that is called spiritually Sodom, and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified,)"

Let us dissect this sentence:

• Sodom: Sodom and Gomorrah were located on the Dead Sea which is obvious because the Dead Sea is the Earth's lowest elevation on land and the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. (Their sites are believed to be at the south end of the Dead Sea.)
• Egypt: this word is used for the place that Mary and Joseph hid out from Herod, but that is a long trip considering that there are many caves in the wilderness of Mird that the Zealots have successfully used in their fight against Rome. It was there that the Therapeuts from Alexandria, Egypt, camped. (They were the "shepherds" in the Bethlehem story.) They were led by Theudas, who was Jesus' disciple Thaddeus (Nicodemus). Significantly below, they cross the River Jordan (which is in that wilderness where John the Baptist baptized and ate locusts):
  

  Josephus Antiquities Book 20.5,1 - The Fate of the Impostor Theudas
  Now when Fadus was procurator of Judaea, a certain impostor named Theudas persuaded the mass of the rabble to take their belongings with them and follow him to the river Jordan; for he said that he was a prophet and would by a word of command divide the river and afford them an easy passage ; and by these words he deceived many. Fadus, however, did not allow them to reap the benefit of their folly. He dispatched against them a troop of horse which fell upon them unexpectedly and slew many and took many of them prisoners. They caught Theudas himself alive, cut off his head and carried it to Jerusalem. This was what befell the Jews under the procuratorship of Cuspius Fadus.
  
  Acts 05:36 For before these days rose up Theudas, saying, that himself was some one, to whom a number of men did join themselves, as it were four hundred, who was slain, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered, and came to nought.
  
  Acts 21:38 Are you (Paul) not the Egyptian who some time ago stirred up a rebellion and led the four thousand assassins out into the wilderness?” (Obviously he isn't.)

• spiritually - This is just defining Sodom and Egypt as being the approximate location, but that the "spiritual' place would have to be Qumran of the Dead Sea Scrolls on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea.

Apparently, the New Testament writers needed to have a way to distinguish Qumran, which was built as the spiritual Jerusalem after the Essenes had been rejected by Herod in his plans for the temple of Jerusalem. This has presented a strange use of Jerusalem in both the singular and plural in the Gospels, which has baffled scholars. Explanations for this are that, since Jerusalem was a Hebrew word translated to Greek, it might have two forms. Another explanation could be that it is the result of writings compiled from different sources. None of these theories seem quite adequate. However, the theory that each is intended to describe a different place is a much better fit.

Here we are testing the consistency of the use of Jerusalem as representing two separate places: Jerusalem and Qumran.

If we suppose that Jesus' life was primarily in the barren desert community on the Dead Sea known as Qumran, it would explain the reason why there is no history of Jesus besides the Gospels.

Given that there were two places called Jerusalem, then it would be easy to transpose Qumran, being the true place of Jesus' ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection, into Jerusalem. Thus the greatest religious city of the world would become the place where Christianity began.

Jerusalem-singular (real Jerusalem)
and
Jerusalem-plural (Qumran on the Dead Sea - its mirror image)

All references in the Gospels, Acts, and Revelation to Jerusalem
to demonstrate the singular and plural use. (If Jerusalem appears in your English version and is not shown, it is not in Vaticanus or Sinaiticus.)

Ἱεροσόλυμα Noun: Plural Neuter (Accusative, Nominative) Representing Qumran Matthew 2:1 Matthew 2:3 (Noun: Nominative Singular Feminine) Matthew 3:5 Matthew 5:35 Matthew 16:21 Matthew 20:17 Matthew 20:18 Matthew 21:1 Matthew 21:10 Mark 10:32 Mark 10:33 Mark 11:1 Mark 11:11 Mark 11:15 Mark 11:27 Mark 15:41 Luke 2:22 Luke 13:22 Luke 19:28 John 2:13 John 5:1 John 11:55 John 12:12 Acts 8:25 Acts 13:13 Acts 19:21 Acts 20:16 Acts 21:4 Acts 21:15 Acts 21:17 Acts 25:1 Acts 25:9 Acts 25:15 Acts 25:20 Ἱεροσολύμοις noun: Dative Plural Neuter Representing Qumran Luke 23:7 John 2:23 John 4:20 John 4:21 John 4:45 John 5:2 John 10:22 Acts 8:1 Acts 8:14 Acts 25:24 Acts 26:4 Acts 26:10 Acts 26:20 Ἱεροσολύμων Noun: Genitive Plural Neuter Representing Qumran Matthew 4:25 Matthew 15:1 Mark 3:8 Mark 3:22 Mark 7:1 John 1:19 John 11:18 Acts 1:4 Acts 11:27 Acts 25:7 Acts 28:17

Of these there is just one exception Matthew 2:3 where the word form Jerusalem would normally be plural neuter (Qumran) except in this case its adjective 'all' is singular feminine and this implies that Jerusalem is also singular feminine (Jerusalem) even though it looks like the plural neuter (Qumran) in Matthew 2:1.

There is another noun meaning inhabitant of Jerusalem which is plural masculine:

Ἱεροσολυμῖται Noun: Nominative Plural Masculine meaning inhabitant of Qumran Mark 1:5 Ἱεροσολυμιτῶν Noun: Genitive Plural Masculine meaning inhabitant of Qumran John 7:25

On first glance it is interesting to see that John contains no Singular forms: for Jerusalem

,

but the Plural forms:




which is essentially saying that all events in the Book of John were located in Jerusalem (Qumran). This lends credibility to the supposition that the Gospel of John was written first, but added last after revision. It then would make sense that the other three Gospels decided that they needed a real Jerusalem and just conveniently made it singular.

The situation of Mark, Luke, Matthew, and Acts having two distinct forms for Jerusalem and from their distribution, with the plural form meaning Qumran being predominant, leads to the logical conclusion that two Jerusalems were intended. It cannot just be written off as artistic expression or carelessness.

In Revelation there is only the masculine form since it is talking about the "New Jerusalem".

Jerusalem (Qumran) Ἱεροσόλυμα Hierosoluma (Ἱεροσόλυμα) (Hierosoluma)
noun 3rd person Plural Neuter Accusative

When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
Jerusalem (city) Ἱεροσόλυμα Hierosoluma (Ἱεροσόλυμα) (Hierosoluma)
noun 3rd person Singular Feminine Nominative

Comment: Singular - (This form of Jerusalem would normally be plural neuter except in this case its adjective 'all' is single feminine) Herod is correctly in the real Jerusalem. Matthew is clearly giving a hint that there are two Jerusalems by using that same word but using the first one as neuter plural and this one as feminine singular because of its adjective 'all' (pas) which is singular feminine.

Luke 2 Bethlehem birth flashback since this is really Jesus' Bar Mitzvah Purification, not his birth.

And when the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.

This building apparently had been assigned to Joseph for the pupose of taxes to Rome. Purification was at Qumran.

Comment: Singular 25 & 38 - Simeon was one of the Essenes (angels) who had abandoned Qumran after the earthquake and lived in Jerusalem. It is important to note that it only says that Simeon was in Jerusalem, not as it might be implied that Joseph and Mary went to Jerusalem to see him.

Comment: Singular 41 & 43 & 45 - Likewise, Anna of the order of Asher was connected with Jerusalem.

Luke 2 Parents go up to Jerusalem, Jesus stays behind at the temple.

(Jesus was expressing his wish not to follow his father, but to enter into the monastery.)
