I'm not sure where to post this but recently I read some of the dead sea scrolls and found it fascinating. There are similarities to my own beliefs in some of it:

They have found copies of the old and new testament in there:Dead Sea Scrolls - Wikipedia

Owing to the poor condition of some of the scrolls, scholars have not identified all of their texts. The identified texts fall into three general groups:

  1. About 40% are copies of texts from the Hebrew Scriptures.
  2. Approximately another 30% are texts from the Second Temple period which ultimately were not canonized in the Hebrew Bible, like the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees, the Book of Tobit, the Wisdom of Sirach, Psalms 152–155, etc.
  3. The remainder (roughly 30%) are sectarian manuscripts of previously unknown documents that shed light on the rules and beliefs of a particular group (sect) or groups within greater Judaism, like the Community Rule, the War Scroll, the Pesher on Habakkuk, and The Rule of the Blessing

The Pesher on Habakkuk does not include what we have as chapter 3 of Habakkuk. ch 3 is a psalm, in form. and was deliberately not included in the commentary on Habakkuk found in dead sea scrolls
