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.”
