...Tommy Meyers Regl 202 Dr. Dawson The Anointed One The way the Messiah was seen and understood in the Old Testament and how it was percept during the Second Temple. The Hebrew word mashiach ("anointed") is used in the Old Testament to identify a person in special relationship to God. The term is simply to designate "one anointed” with oil and/or the Holy Spirit, but especially one that the priest has picked. (Psalm 2) The connection of the term "Messiah" as applied to an anointed king appears especially strong, and was used in a prophetic sense of the coming of King David ruler. Both Second Samuel and the Psalms refer to King David as the "anointed one" (mashiach) whose descendants will rule forever (2 Samuel 22:50-51, Psalm. 18:50-51). In addition, the concept of a universal messiah is seen in texts that give to the King David house dominion over foreign nations (2 Samuel. 22:44-51, Psalm. 18:44-51; Psalm. 2:7-9). In the prophetic writings the messianic concept has a special reference to God’s promised David ruler who will restore Israel to the divine ideal (Isaiah 9:7; Jeremiah 23:5-6) depict a divinely appointed king messiah (or “anointed”) who will destroy God’s Gentile opponents and as his representative will reign over the nations. The pre-exilic prophet Isaiah likewise predicts a future King David Messiah who will smite Israel’s enemies and rule in justice over the nations (Isaiah 11:1-10). The...

...The Messiah means the anointed one. And several times it is used in the Old Testament, 28 of those times it refers to kings. So the anointed one mostly referred to kings but also referred to priests and prophets. You can just file this in your mind, many messiahs in the Old Testament. Everyone who was anointed into a mediating of position in the theocratic kingdom of Israel could be called a messiah, with a small m. A messiah is one who has been anointed. He has been chosen for a very high duty in the kingdom A king to rule A priest to intercede and provide sacrifice, and A prophet, to preach the truth and to bring the word of God to man. In a simple manner, King, Priest and Prophets are messiah anointed with OIL. This morning we are talking about THE MESSIAH who is anointed by THE HOLY SPIRIT. The King of Kings The Chief Priest and The Lord Prophet Himself. WE HAVE FOUND HIM! John 1:29-51 Jesus Christ is a prophecy that was prophesied by the prophets by the power of revelation. V: 31. We need a revelation to find Him. And receive Him. For as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. When you find Him and receive Him you will -: 1. Testify : John testified V:32 {Math. 3:13-17} 2. Conviction: Vs 36 and 37. The 2 disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 3. V:33.

...the Father and kept for His Anointed: May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. Beloved, being very eager to write to you of our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the discernment which was once delivered to the saints. Anointing does not guarantee we will always speak the truth. Yah anoints people, but people can twist the Scriptures to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16). The false Messiahs that Yeshua warned of will come close to deceiving even Yah's elect. This is not because their anointing is false, but because they are false. It is not judgmental to insist on seeing fruit. Paul was certainly an anointed man of Yah; yet when he wrote to Yah’s people, he said nothing about how anointed he was but instead reminded them of His Christlike character, writing, “You are witnesses, and God also, how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe” (1 Thessalonians 2:10). There are plenty of people who speak in tongues and demonstrate great spiritual giftings, but the people of Berean are commended, not because they recognized Paul’s anointing, but because they were skeptical of it. For even though they received Paul’s preaching with all readiness, they nevertheless “searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so” (Acts 17:11). They studied the scriptures. In His instructions to Israel concerning the holy anointing oil, the Lord warned, “It shall...

...Samuel Anoints David as King 1 Now the Lord said to Samuel, “You have mourned long enough for Saul. I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem. Find a man named Jesse who lives there, for I have selected one of his sons to be my king.” 1. Why was he morning? 2 But Samuel asked, “How can I do that? If Saul hears about it, he will kill me.” “Take a heifer with you,” the Lord replied, “and say that you have come to make a sacrifice to the Lord. 3 Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you which of his sons to anoint for me.” 1. God gives Samuel a plan a. Samuel was a afraid, (If Saul hears about it, he will kill me. b. God Lays out 4 So Samuel did as the Lord instructed. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town came trembling to meet him. “What’s wrong?” they asked. “Do you come in peace?” 1. 5 “Yes,” Samuel replied. “I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Purify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then Samuel performed the purification rite for Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice, too. 6 When they arrived, Samuel took one look at Eliab and thought, “Surely this is the Lord’s anointed!” 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. TheLord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lordlooks at the heart.” 8 Then Jesse told his son Abinadab to...

...following his ways anyway so they asked Samuel to appoint a king that would lead them into just like other nations. Basically they wanted to be like the other nations that had a King to lead them into battle and give them rules to follow. Samuel went around looking for the candidate that the Lord was looking for eventually he found Saul. At the time when Samuel was searching a man named Saul was out searching for his father’s donkeys with his servant. During this time Saul and his servant saw Samuel out and they talked with him for a while once Saul’s servant left Samuel got word from the Lord saying that Saul was the chosen King Israel. “Then Samuel took a flask of olive oil and poured it on Saul’s head and kissed him, saying, ‘Has not the Lord anointed you ruler over his inheritance?...” in 1 Sam 10:1 Samuel anointed Saul as king of Israel and after that Saul went and prophesized to the people of Israel about what he would do as their king. As time passed Saul went into many battles against other tribes but in one battle in particular God gave Saul specific instructions about what he was to do in battle that day“….Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare the; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys” (1 Sam 15: 3) When Saul went into battle he killed many but spared King Agag and kept the fat animals. Since he didn’t follow the Lords instructions Samuel went to Saul and said that the...

...Stewardship over the resources, and provisions granted by God involves more than merely cautiously watching over finances or attending to thrifty spending decisions. Through scripture it is clear that God intends that man would invest that which is provided to him. The teachings of Jesus impart the Divine will that His people invest and bear the risk of loss. It is also evident that Scripture established a pattern of risk and reward. The gospel of Matthew verses 14-30 records the Biblical principles of investing. Known as the Parable of the Talents, this portion of scripture tells the story of three individuals endued with five, two, and, one talent respectively. Those that received five and two talents invested the talents and reaped rewards from their endeavors. The master in the parable commends those who ventured out in business and took risks. Likewise, the one talent servant who was afraid and hid the talent is characterized as slothful and chastised harshly by the Master. It is evident from this parable that the Master seeks gains on His investment. At a minimum it is expected that resources would gain a rate of interest consistent with low-risk investment. The master reproves the one-talent servant for not at least gaining nominal interest returns on the resources entrusted to him. The parable reveals the Master’s pleasure in those who would venture and risk for the prospect of returns. Scripture also points to a basic principle of investing in regard to the level...

...Nowlan uses the everlasting scent of the potato-chip factory as a symbol throughout the story. In the first few lines of Anointed with Oils, scent becomes an apparent theme. Once Edith returns from her day shift, the first thing she gets her hands on is her “cologne-scented underwear” (82). Before long the protagonist cleans herself connoting the smell she brought home negatively, “The first thin cloud of steam reeked of the frying oils that clung to her body” (82). This action, in addition to wearing perfume, reveals the importance Edith places on smelling nice. Yet a few hours later as the story progresses, she can’t help but smell once again the grease from the factory, “She sighed and scrubbed the stink of grease from her arms” (86). Even...

The ancient anointed ones were literally drenched in this potent mixture." Chris Bennett "Was Jesus a Stoner?," High Times Magazine, Feb. 10, 2003 "Marijuana proponents suggest that the recipe for the anointing oil passed from God to Moses included cannabis, or kaneh-bosm in Hebrew.

...may have been the source of the wealth of the Minoan kingdom. The Phoenicians spread the olive to the Mediterranean shores of Africa and Southern Europe. Olives have been found in Egyptian tombs from 2,000 years BC. The olive culture was spread to the early Greeks then Romans. As the Romans extended their domain they brought the olive with them. 1,400 years ago the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, advised his followers to apply olive oil to their bodies, and himself used oil on his head. The use of oil is found in many religions and cultures. It has been used during special ceremonies as well as a general health measure. During baptism in the Christian church, holy oil, which is often olive oil, may be used for anointment. At the Christmas mass, olive oil blessed by the bishop, "chrism", is used in the ceremony. Like the grape, the Christian missionaries brought the olive tree with them to California for food but also for ceremonial use. Olive oil was used to anoint the early kings of the Greeks and Jews. The Greeks anointed winning athletes. Olive oil has also been used to anoint the dead in many cultures. The olive trees on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem are reputed to be over 2000 years old, still relative newcomers considering the long domestication of the olive. We don't know the exact variety of the trees on the Mount. Man has manipulated the olive tree for so many thousands of years that it is unclear what varieties came from which other varieties.

...and death. Then they turn east which represents life and light. At the end of Baptism the sin of Adam is washed away and a new soul is declared. Overall, after a child is baptised, it is then the responsibility for the parents to keep them on the right track and fallow Christ. Confirmation John 3:3-5 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. After a childhood or anyone else has been baptised and anointed with the Holy Chrism, the priest usually places a crown upon their head and a scarlet ribbon around their chest. The crown that is put on the head is a symbol of the Crown of Heaven. A sign that new baptised human is now a child of God; the child of King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The scarlet ribbon is a symbol of the Blood of Jesus which was shed on the cross to save us and pay the prices of our sins which redeems us from the power of death. The body is now a temple of the Holy Spirit. These represent the victory that...

...In today's world, many people place a huge emphasis upon appearance, self image and fitting in.Some are willing to go to great lengths to gain a better sense of confidence, even though the outcome may come at a great cost. In a short story, “Anointed with oils”, Alden Nowlan introduced Edith as a young shack girl, who tried so hard to extinguish her past to create a new life for herself. Edith was embarrassed of many aspects in her life,living in a boarding house and having a father who went to jail. Self confidence issues made her life much more harder than it already was. Edith believed in order to be successful she needed to beautiful and she didn't see that in herself. In attempts to escape the shame Edith felt about her family, and the shacks in which she grew up in, Edith moved to a boarding house where she tried her best to extinguish the past and create a new life for herself. With the fact that she hadn’t been to high school, Edith found it harder to get a proper job. She ended up settling for working at a potato chip plant in which she reeked of the foul smell of the butter. Edith didn’t want to be recognized as the poor girl from the shacks who has a drunk father and has a cousin who got pregnant at fifteen. Eddie wanted to be successful and had so much potential in her life. Edith wanted to be a star but didn’t have the self confidence to do so,”But stars had to be beautiful. And she was plain. Not ugly. Just plain. Her breasts were too small and her legs...

...Reflection and Insights on Personal Faith Oklahoma Wesleyan University Reflection and Insights on Personal Faith Imagine a faith so strong you believe in something you have never actually visualized. A faith that is so strong that you feel overwhelmed and calm at the same time. Faith that has grown over the last five weeks to a level that makes you believe you can share your knowledge of God with other people. Sharing knowledge of the Bible and God’s message prior to the last five weeks was a definite insecurity for me prior to this class. I will try to put into words how this class has benefitted my personal faith and some things that have been difficult to completely understand. The Bible begins with the book of Genesis. According to Life Application Study Bible, the definition of Genesis is the “beginnings” or “origins” (NIV). Genesis is the beginning of the creation of the world. Genesis is the “story of God’s purpose and plan for his creation” (NIV). Genesis is where faith also begins. Believers have blind faith in God that the heavens, earth, man, animals, Satan and sin were created, but not witnessed. To support this faith in God, we have the Bible. The Bible and growing up in a Christian household with parents who are true believers and followers of God, helps support my belief and knowledge in God. In Genesis, we learn that our actions and decisions have consequences. For example, Adam and Eve whom God created in His own image (NIV) were created...

...King David- A Man After God’s Own Heart Wisconsin Lutheran College ADU-302 Servant Leadership 08/09/2012 Jason Flejter King David was an extremely influential person in the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic doctrine and will always be considered a pillar in the foundation of all three cultures. King David was known for being “a man after God’s own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14). He has been portrayed as not only a righteous King, but as a shepherd, noble warrior and poet as well. He is accredited with many of the psalms in the Holy Bible and is best known for reuniting the people of Israel. Character Traits Displayed by David David was born the youngest child of Jesse, a descendant from the tribe of Judah. Being the youngest child, David grew up with little respect from his siblings. As a shepherd attending his family’s flock David learned to be brave and courageous. “When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine (1 Samuel 17: 34-37). It is with character trait by the blessing of God that David faced and defeated Goliath. While David is best known...

...steadiness and a stout heart." (pg. 61) While Menelaus, Odysseus, and the other Akhaians were hiding in the legendary Trojan War horse, they heard Helen and her companion walking around the horse. In response to this, the Akhaians desperately tried to reply or leave the horse, but Odysseus was the one who saved them all from doing these things. "...to reply, or go. Odysseus fought us down, despite our craving...but Odysseus' great hands clamped over his jaws, and held. So he saved us all..." (pg. 61) 2. There were actually a few words I did not know previously. For example, on page 54, anointed was a word I never knew or heard before. According to Merriam Webster, the definition was "to put oil on (someone) as part of a religious ceremony". With the context of the sentence on page 54, it made sense because the maidservants were giving Telemachus and Peisistratus baths, and they put oil on them later on. Another word I did not know was altars (on page 36). According to the Oxford English Dictionary, this definition was "a block, table, stand, or other raised structure with a flat top used as the focus for a religious ritual, especially for making sacrifices or offerings to a god or gods". Previously, I assumed the altars were the Pylos men's staffs. However, after reading this definition, it made sense because during those times, people were greatly religious, and it makes sense altars were actually structures that were used for religious festivities and sacrifices. 3...
