Furthermore, the writer of Jubilees was also not a Sadducee either as even
Josephus as well as other early church fathers record Sadducees only followed the
Pentateuch similar to the Samaritans. That is because they originate there as well.
[They] admit no observance at all apart from the laws.
- Flavius Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, 18:16 [23]
Sadducee doctrine is not found in Jubilees as they believed “no resurrection,
nor angel, nor spirit” (Acts 23:7-8; Matt. 22:23). The Book of Jubilees 2 identifies
numerous angels by class and says they were created on the first day and one even
wrote part of the book and communicates throughout. This was not written by a
Sadducee who, same as a Pharisee nor Essene, would never have been welcomed
into the Qumran community. Jubilees even alludes to resurrection.
Jubilees 16:26 KJV
And he blessed his Creator who had created him in his generation, for He had created
him according to His good pleasure; for He knew and perceived that from him would
arise the plant of righteousness for the eternal generations, and from him a holy seed,
so that it should become like Him who had made all things.
Of course, R. H. Charles and other scholars will say this does not refer to
resurrection yet they have no authority to render such definitively. They are
guessing. However, the angels are a large part of Jubilees as well as the spirit and
there is no placing Sadducees in Qumran.
If written in Qumran, Jubilees would not have been written by a Pharisee,
Sadducee, Hasmonean nor Essene. The community is on record identifying
themselves as neither party whatsoever. They were the Aaronic Levite Priesthood
from the Temple who were exiled to the wilderness of Judaea which is why
John the Baptist lived and operated there in Bethabara (Qumran). Pharisees and
Sadduccees are new parties to Judaea formed only in 165 B.C which is why
we see no mention of them prior. The Essenes were a secret Kabbalistic cult
originating in Egypt as the word Essene is Egyptian for secret. Pliny the Elder,
and geographer, especially locates Essenses just above Ein Gedi in the mountains
which is 25 miles South of Qumran. Not a shred of Essense archaeology is found
in Qumran but tons in Ein Gedi and not a single mention of them in all the
local Qumran community writings has been found yet we are told erroneously
they lived in Qumran. Nonsense. This is a blatant fabrication of leaven and it
originates in the Catholic Church who first had control of the scrolls and the
Pharisees (modern Judaism) who have controlled it since all funded by Rockefeller.
