In 1947 "The Book of the Wisdom of Solomon" was found amoung the Dead Sea scrolls. Many people (Jewish and Christian) say it sounds very Christian in orgin. Here is a section of its message: (Ch.2 vs.12-20)

12: "Let us lie in wait for the righteous man, because he is inconvenient to us and opposes our actions; he reproaches us for sins against the law, and accuses us of sins against our training. 13: He professes to have knowledge of God, and calls himself a child of the Lord. 14: He became to us a reproof of our thoughts;15: the very sight of him is a burden to us, because his manner of life is unlike that of others, and his ways are strange. 16: We are considered by him as something base, and he avoids our ways as unclean; he calls the last end of the righteous happy, and boasts that God is his father.17: Let us see if his words are true, and let us test what will happen at the end of his life; 18: for if the righteous man is God's son, he will help him, and will deliver him from the hand of his adversaries.19: Let us test him with insult and torture, that we may find out how gentle he is, and make trial of his forbearance. 20: Let us condemn him to a shameful death, for, according to what he says, he will be protected".

 

It was said to be written 100 to 200 years before Christ's mortal ministry thus it would have been prophetic If the dating is correct. (I Have to agree it sounds Like a Great discription of Yeshua (Jesus)!
Sapiential Texts (חיבורים חכמתיים) – Among the Dead Sea Scrolls are works that continue the sapiential, or wisdom traditions, found in the biblical books of Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes and some Psalms, and in the Apocryphal works of Ben Sira and the Wisdom of Solomon. These works offer practical advice about daily life, alongside intellectual inquiry about the world and humanity. Qumran Scrolls wisdom texts, such as Instruction and Mysteries, combine the practical and intellectual themes with apocalyptic concerns, and occasionally relate to legal matters as well. http://www.deadseascrolls.org.il/learn-about-the-scrolls/scrolls-co...
