Eine wohlbekannte Eigenschaft der konfessionsgebundenen Schriftrollen vom Toten Meer ist deren Behauptung, dass eine Mitgliedschaft in der Qumran-Bewegung gegenwärtige und eschatologische Gemeinschaft mit den Engeln beinhaltete. Um ein besseres Verständnis der Gemeinschaft mit den Engeln in Qumran zu erlangen, wendet Matthew L. Walsh das frühjüdische Konzept an, nach dem bestimmte Engel eng mit Israel assoziiert wurden.
A well-known characteristic of the sectarian Dead Sea Scrolls are their assertions that membership in the Qumran movement included present and eschatological fellowship with the angels, but scholars disagree as to the precise meaning of these claims. To gain a better understanding of angelic fellowship at Qumran, Matthew L. Walsh utilizes the early Jewish concept that certain angels were closely associated with Israel. Moreover, these angels, which included guardians and priests, were envisioned within apocalyptic worldviews that assumed that realities on earth corresponded to those of the heavenly realm. A comparison of non-sectarian texts with sectarian compositions reveals that the Qumran movement's lofty assertions of communion with the guardians and priests of heavenly Israel would have made a significant contribution to their identity as the true Israel.
