AB - This study argues that the temple to which these texts refer is not the 'eschatological temple' but the Jerusalem temple as it existed at the time, and that the communities that shared these texts sought to prepare themselves for the purification of the temple. This study questions the conclusion of scholars that the 4Q174 Florilegium found in Cave 4 at Qumran is an eschatological text. Many scholars argue that the 4Q174 is an eschatological text based on the words used in it, such as ‘in that day,’ ‘at the end of time,’ ‘belial,’ and ‘forever’. However, the 4Q174 is an anthology of texts that reflect Old Testament Temple Theology, and most of the quoted expressions are not for the end of the day, so they do not represent new ideas. In the context of the time in which the 4Q174 was written, a urgent issue for those living in the region was the ‘purification of the temple’. Their problem is better understood in the context of previous theologies of the temple. To do so, this study examines the historical context and theology of the 4Q174 and analyzes the Old Testament texts it cites to show that the Qumran community had temporal aspirations for the Temple in Israel.
