1. Prophetic Authorship
Moses wrote the Book of Jubilees. As he was a prophet and this vets as his writing consistent
with his other writings, it is Torah.
2. Witness of the Spirit
Jubilees has continued as canon in Qumran which was the community of John the Baptist
thus a New Testament community of Aaronic Levite priests. It prophesies of the Messiah
as well. Jubilees serves as a witness to Genesis especially and this is important as scholars
should be noting the absence of such in the modern canon.
3. Acceptance
The Book of Jubilees sets forth Israel as Yah’s people and agrees with the Torah. It is also
quoted in the New Testament and it really offers the first solid prophecies of Messiah.
4. Quoted As Doctrine In Scripture (Our Addition)
Messiah, Paul, Peter, Luke, James and John quote Jubilees for significant doctrine.
5. In Agreement With the Whole of Scripture (Our Addition)
Jubilees agrees with the Torah and the whole of scripture. It offers additional information as
it should or it would just be another publishing of the same book such as Genesis and Moses
would have no purpose in writing it.
