AB - This paper tried to examine the worldview of the Qumran community through the War Scroll (1QM), the most detailed war manual in the Jewish literature of the Second Temple Period. The War Scroll is an important document that presents the transition from the holy war ideology of the Old Testament to the apocalyptic eschatological concept of war. The War Scroll shows how the Qumran community perceived the world around them and what future they expected. The War Scroll appears to be a work that maximizes and visualizes the idea of YHWH's Day and the holy war in the Old Testament. This paper attempted to trace the worldview that the Qumran community intends to present through war by examining the characteristic elements in the War Scroll. In this paper, the 'apocalyptic eschatological worldview,’ 'dualistic worldview and War against the Kittim,’ and 'last judgment, apocalyptic war, and resurrection’ are presented separately for convenience of discussion. Still, they are inextricably linked with each other. The War Scroll maintains the frame of 'eschatological hope' in that it expects the time of imminent salvation. The apocalyptic texts of the Old Testament dream of a new earth, new heaven, and a new Jerusalem as the present order is radically changed due to God's supernatural intervention. This eschatological hope is also strongly expressed in the War Scroll. The War Scroll testifies to how the Qumran community viewed Rome for approximately 30 years, from 60 to 30 BCE. They expect an empire like the Kittim to be destroyed only through God's supernatural intervention. However, their expectations were never met shortly.
