The Anointed One of God

Tuesday, June 1, 2010: Isaiah 61:1–2a

“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me,

Because the Lord has anointed Me

To preach good tidings to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives,

And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,

This is What Jesus Christ read in a Synagogue when presented with a Biblical Scroll. What is it? The passage is a prophetic statement that Yeshua HaMeshiah, the Anointed one of God, would make.

Wednesday, June 2, 2010: Exodus 30:25

And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil.

What is an anointing oil? It is a perfume of old times.

Thursday, June 3, 2010: Daniel 9:25

“Know therefore and understand,

That from the going forth of the command

To restore and build Jerusalem

Until Messiah the Prince,

There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;

The street shall be built again, and the wall,

Even in troublesome times.

Who is Messiah? Literally translated, it is the Anointed one of God.

Friday, June 4, 2010: Daniel 9: 26

“And after the sixty-two weeks

Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself;

And the people of the prince who is to come

Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.

The end of it shall be with a flood,

And till the end of the war desolations are determined.

What does, ‘cut off, but not for himself’ mean? It means that Jesus Christ, the Messiah, would be killed: not because of what He did, but for my sins.
