the truth of God's message,
and finally, how they schemed with Judas to
kill Jesus (pbuh). The Teacher of Righteousness is thus a reference to Jesus
(pbuh); the "priestly" messiah. The Wicked Priest is a reference to Judas,
and the Spouter of Lies is most likely the leader of the "chief priests and
Pharisees" who persecuted Jesus (pbuh) and are mentioned so often in the
Bible, or it may be a reference to Paul himself.
Many Christian scholars have snatched up these prophesies in
order to
prove the validity of their claim that Jesus (pbuh) was indeed sent by God
and that the Jews are required to follow him. However, they have been
thwarted in their attempts by one other quite amazing piece of evidence
that the Jews continually manage to refute their claims with, specifically,
that the Dead Sea Scrolls claim that the first
messiah will be persecuted
and that the Wicked Priest will try to kill him, but that the Wicked Priest
will not be successful and that it is he who will receive the fate he wished
for the messiah.
"The Wicked Priest went so far as to lie in ambush for the Teacher of
Righteousness. In interpreting Psalms 37:32, "The Wicked watches for the
righteous, seeking to put him to death," the text states: 'Its interpretation
concerns the Wicked Priest who watched out for the Teacher of
Righteousness and sought to put him to death' Pesher Psalms A 1-10 IV 8-
9"

So Judas will try to kill Jesus (pbuh).
