Fulfillment of Prophecy

  • The Qumranites saw their movement as the fulfillment of OT prophecies. Christianity saw OT prophecy fulfilled in Jesus and activities related to him. For example whereas Essenes applied Is. 40:3 to themselves, Christians applied it to John the Baptist.
  • Is 40:3- A voice of one calling in the wilderness:
  • “In the desert prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God.”
