Teacher of Righteousness

Unknown priest in the Dead Sea Scrolls

The Teacher of Righteousness is a mysterious figure found in some of the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran, most prominently in the Damascus Document. This document speaks briefly of the origins of the sect, probably Essenes, 390 years after the Neo-Babylonian Empire captured Jerusalem in 586 BCE. After another 20 years of looking blindly for the way; "God... raised for them a Teacher of Righteousness to guide them in the way of His heart".
