Well, from what I remember of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the material seems 
to augment or fill in the gaps of what's already in the Bible. There are 
some additional testaments from some peripheral characters in the Bible 
and some missing sections of Genesis and Revelations.

However, you're probably more interested in the parts that relate to 
"Angels" and Global Destructions, etc. And actually if you recall from 
the Holy Bible in the Book of Genesis, there's some rather strange 
passages right before The Deluge (the great flood) that relate to the 
Sons of God who came down to watch over mankind, per God's request. 
These Sons of God (or Angels or Nephilim), as told in the Holy Bible, 
mated with human women and their offsprings were "giants" and became 
beings of great power and renown. Another translation of "giants" could 
be that they were "monstrous in size" or just plain "monsters". Perhaps 
these were dinosaurs? Heh. Just speculation.

Anyway, the passage jumps to God declaring mankind to be wicked and then 
causing the Great Flood, wiping out all mankind in the process, but 
saving only Noah and his Ark-group.  

Now, in the Dead Sea Scrolls, there is a testatment (the book of giants) 
which fills in the gaps of this story. It says that the offspring of the 
Angels and human woman were Giants and that these giants enslaved 
mankind and forced them into "wickedness". And when God saw what had 
happened, He banished the Angels who caused this into limbo (I think), 
and then destroyed mankind and the giants who walked the earth in a 
Great Flood, thereby wiping the slate clean again. The only ones He 
saved were Noah and his family, who had not become corrupted by the 
Giants influence.

Anyway, that's all I remember. Hope this helps. :)
