Oil of Gladness



Prepare the table, Set a watchman in the tower, Eat and drink. Arise, you princes, Anoint the shield! Isaiah 21:5


Anoint
The practice of anointing with perfumed oil was common among the Hebrews.
(1)  The act of anointing was significant of consecration to a holy or sacred use; hence the anointing of the high priest ( Ex 29:29; Lev 4:3) and of the sacred vessels ( Ex 30:26).
The high priest and the king are thus called "the anointed" ( Lev 4:3,5,16; 6:20; Ps 132:10). Anointing a king was equivalent to crowning him ( 1Sa 16:13; 2Sa 2:4, etc.).
Prophets were also anointed ( 1Ki 19:16; 1Ch 16:22; Ps 105:15).
The expression, "Anoint the shield" ( Isa 21:5), refers to the custom of rubbing oil on the leather of the shield so as to make it supple (Flexible or mobile) and fit for use in war.
(2) Anointing was also an act of hospitality ( Lk 7:38,46). It was the custom of the Jews in like manner to anoint themselves with oil, as a means of refreshing or invigorating their bodies ( Dt 28:40; Ru 3:3; 2Sa 14:2; Ps 104:15, etc.). This custom is continued among the Arabians to the present day.
(3) Oil was used also for medicinal purposes. It was applied to the sick, and also to wounds ( Ps 109:18; Isa 1:6; Mk 6:13; Jas 5:14).
(4) The bodies of the dead were sometimes anointed ( Mk 14:8; Lk 23:56).
(5) The promised Deliverer is twice called the "Anointed" or Messiah ( Ps 2:2; Da 9:25,26), because HE was anointed with the Holy Ghost ( Isa 61:1), figuratively styled the "oil of gladness" ( Ps 45:7; Heb 1:9).
Jesus of Nazareth is this anointed One ( Jn 1:41; Ac 9:22; 17:2,3; 18:5,28), the Messiah of the Old Testament.

SUN

SUN
Then God said,
"Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens
to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;
"and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens
to give light on the earth"; and it was so.
Then God made two great lights:
the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night.
He made the stars also.
- Genesis 1:14-16  

LIGHT:






Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs the sea, And its waves roar (The LORD of hosts is His name):
- Jeremiah 31:35


KNOWLEDGE:
The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard.
Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,
Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

- Psalm 19:1-6  


MERCY:

To Him who made great lights, For His mercy endures forever--
The sun to rule by day, For His mercy endures forever;
The moon and stars to rule by night, For His mercy endures forever.
- Psalm 136:7-9

Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.
"The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I hope in Him!"
- Lamentations 3:22-24



From the rising of the sun to its going down
The LORD's name is to be praised.

And it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun;

The LORD will give grace and glory;
No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.

do not let the sun go down on your wrath,
- Ephesians 4:26  

"that you may be sons of your Father in heaven;
for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good,
and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
- Matthew 5:45

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,
by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor,
and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
even as God in Christ forgave you.
- Ephesians 4:30-32

The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.
- Psalm 121:6  

"They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore;
the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat;
- Revelation 7:16


GLORY:

There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon,
and another glory of the stars;
for one star differs from another star in glory.
- 1 Corinthians 15:41

Who is she who looks forth as the morning,
Fair as the moon, Clear as the sun,
Awesome as an army with banners?
- Song of Songs 6:10


Arise, shine; For your light has come!
And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
- Isaiah 60:1


HEALING:

But to you who fear My name
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
- Malachi 4:2


SIGNS:
Then the sun was darkened,
and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
- Luke 23:45


The sun and moon stood still in their habitation;
At the light of Your arrows they went, At the shining of Your glittering spear.
- Habakkuk 3:11  


So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped,
Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies.
Is this not written in the Book of Jasher?
So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven,
and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.
- Joshua 10:13


"Behold, I will bring the shadow on the sundial,
which has gone down with the sun on the sundial of Ahaz,
ten degrees backward."
So the sun returned ten degrees on the dial
by which it had gone down.
- Isaiah 38:8


Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun,
And the light of the sun will be sevenfold, As the light of seven days,
In the day that the LORD binds up the bruise of His people
And heals the stroke of their wound.
- Isaiah 30:26  


The earth quakes before them, The heavens tremble;
The sun and moon grow dark,
And the stars diminish their brightness. .

And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

and behold, there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair,
and the moon became like blood.

out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword,
and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

Nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you;
But the LORD will be to you an everlasting light,

A Model Prayer

Ephesians 1:15-23

A Model Prayer



Therefore I also, after I heard
of your faith in the Lord Jesus
and your love for all the saints,
do not cease to give thanks for you,
making mention of you in my prayers:
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory,
may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation
in the knowledge of Him,
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened;
that you may know what is the hope of His calling,
what are the riches of the glory
of His inheritance in the saints,
and what is the exceeding greatness of His power
toward us who believe,
according to the working of His mighty power
which He worked in Christ
when He raised Him from the dead
and seated Him at His right hand
in the heavenly places,
far above all principality and power
and might and dominion,
and every name that is named,
not only in this age
but also in that which is to come.

Ephesians 1:15-21
