But it seems that our expectations are not consistent of the purposes of the authors of these ancient texts. The pesharim were written not for us, they do not answer to our questions. The pesharim are not historiographies. They concern history, but they are not systematic registrations of historical events. On the other side, facts and characters are often typified, even can be slightly changed, in order to fit them into the system.
Models prevail over facts.
Biblical historicism is outstanding with the sophisticated way in which material of historical and literary tradition are amalgamated in it. Thus, not only historical periods are pre-determined, but also the events occurring in them are fixed. History is ruled by two powers, represented by the prototypes of the wicked and the righteous. They are opposed to the righteous, to those who keep the Law. The working of the two powers in the history is showed in 11QMelchizedek, too.
