The Bible, to one degree or another, confirms that both the first and second
prophesies were fulfilled. However, it provides no logical explanation for the third
prophesy.
Cont. the Dead Sea Scrolls
Lawrence Schiffman says regarding Pesher Habakkuk:
"It (Pesher
Habakkuk) describes the struggle between the Teacher of Righteousness
and his opponents - the Man of Lies (also termed the Spouter or Preacher
of Lies) and the Wicked Priest. The Spouter is pictured as heading a
community. The dispute between the Teacher and the Spouter is seems to
have been based on matters of religious interpretation and law. The
Wicked Priest is said to have begun his rule in truth but then to have
abandoned the way of truth. He then persecutes the Teacher, confronting
him on the holiest day of the year, the Day of Atonement". (
