No, Jesus is not Dead Sea Scrolls’ Teacher of Righteousness.
No, Paul is not the Dead Sea Scrolls’ Wicked Priest/Man of the Lie.
Well, I’m using the Florentino Garcia Martinez translation of The Dead Sea Scrolls.
What is this?
“The most commonly argued-for single candidate is Jonathan Apphus, followed by his brother Simon Thassi; the widespread acceptance of this view, despite its acknowledged weaknesses, has been dubbed the “Jonathan consensus.”[3] More recently, some scholars have argued that the sobriquet does not refer to only one individual. Most notably the “Groningen Hypothesis” advanced by García Martinez and van der Woude, argues for a series of six Wicked Priests.”

Top 4 Parallels between Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls
1
New Covenant
The Dead Sea Scrolls: The new covenanters (150 years before Jesus)
Jesus: This is the cup of the new covenant
2
The Dead Sea Scrolls – The Community Rule / The Way: prepare the way in the desert
John the Baptist preparing the Way in the wilderness
3
Apocalyptic
The Dead Sea Scrolls – We are people preparing the Way
John the Baptist and Jesus – We are people preparing the Way
4
Messianic
Dead Sea Scrolls – Teacher and Messianic, not just the Teacher of Righteousness but the Right/Unique Teacher
Teacher until two Messiahs: a priest and a king
Jesus – James and John, sons of Zebedee, “Lord can we flank you in the kingdom”
Now I have even more reason to come out with a second book, not necessarily a second edition because Historical Accuracy is a large book already.
Yes, I build a case for Jesus being a composite character of historical fiction but I do not have John the Baptist and Jesus created from The Teacher of Righteousness and that Teacher movement.
