It is essential to note that this study does not sway from the truth that Jesus is The Messiah of all mankind. There is no departure from that truth! Anything contrary is a heretical belief that can lead to eternal destruction. Rather, this explains why today’s Jewish theology, indeed the first-century theology, does not believe in Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah.

Throughout the Tanakh, a messiah with prophetic, priestly, and kingly attributes was expected. And when interpreting the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Qumran community’s theology didn’t differ. The Qumran community was a group of highly zealous Jews striving to follow and achieve intimacy with God. Despite their fervor, it is essential to note that they were not studying from an established Jewish canon. Additionally, the absence of an established canon during the Qumran era makes it difficult to reconstruct which writings were deemed as scripture and which were not. However, the Qumran did profoundly believe that Ha Maschiach, The Messiah, would come with three attributes.
1) Priest
2) King
3) Prophet
