The Anointing and Understanding Torah
Jews who know the Messiah המשיח
have a better understanding of the Torah
for the following reasons:
1. The Anointing rests on our heads
through the Messiah המשיח :
“Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary,
nor profane the sanctuary of his G-d;
for the crown of the anointing oil of his G-d is upon him:
I am the LORD.” Leviticus 21:12.
ומן המקדש לא יצא
ולא יחלל את מקדש אלהיו
כי נזר שמן משחת אלהיו עליו
אני יהוה:
2. The Anointing carries a blessing with it: ETERNAL LIFE:
“It is like the precious ointment upon the head,
that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard:
that went down to the skirts of his garments.
As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew
that descended upon the mountains of Zion:
for there HASHEM commanded the blessing,
even life for evermore.” Psalm 133:2-3.
כשמן הטוב על ראש יורד על הזקן
זקן אהרון שיורד על פי מדותדיו:
כטל חרמון שיורד על הררי ציון
כי שם צוה יהוה את הברכה
חיים עד העולם:
2a. The Anointing also carries with it a second blessing:
the unity of the brethren.
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
for brethren to dwell together in unity!” Psalm 133:1.
הנה מה טוב ומה נעים שבת אחים גם יחד:
3. The true understanding of the Torah is Eternal Life.
Blessed be you, O LORD, King of the universe,
who has given to us the Torah of truth,
and has planted Eternal Life in our midst.
ברוך אתה יי אלהינו מלך העולם
אשר נתן לנו תורת אמת
וחיי עולם נטע בתוכנו:
So because we are anointed in the Messiah
we enter into the TRUE UNDERSTANDING
OF THE TORAH.
1. The Anointing is a CROWN. : נזר שמן משחת אלהיו
2. The RIGHTEOUS SHALL FLOURISH AS A PALM TREE.
Psalm 92:12.
צדיק כתמר יפרח:
This is in the great Sabbath Psalm of the Messianic Era.
So why is it that in this Psalm the righteous
are compared to a palm tree?
1. Note that the name of the wife of Judah
was Tamar תמר Palm Tree.
It was through Judah and Tamar
that the tribe of Judah and the kingship over Israel
through David the son of Jesse was established
and from whom the Messiah sprang.
2. The palm tree does not grow like other trees.
It grows with the CROWN first.
Then after a time of growing with the CROWN,
it begins to form its TRUNK
and the TRUNK increases and grows
as the CROWN on top nourishes it.
Notice that it is UPRIGHT ישר STRAIGHT UP.
Two Sabbath Psalms are connected with this.
a. He shall judge the world with righteousness,
and the people with equity.
Psalm 98:9.
ישפט תבל בצדק ועמים במישרים:
b. He shall judge the world with righteousness,
and the people by his faith.
Psalm 96:13.
ישפט תבל בצדק ועמים באמונתו:
Notice Equity מישרים = Faith אמונה .
So we see three things: The CROWN, the TRUNK,
the UPRIGHTNESS OR FAITH.
1. The CROWN is the Anointing.
2. The TRUNK is the True Understanding of the Torah.
3. The UPRIGHTNESS or FAITH is becoming ESTABLISHED יסוד =PILLAR.
When Samuel the prophet anointed David,
the SPIRIT OF THE LORD came upon him.
“Then Samuel took the horn of oil,
and anointed in the midst of his brethren:
and the SPIRIT OF THE LORD
came upon David from that day forward.
So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.” I Samuel 16:13.
ויקח שמואל את קרן השמן
וימשח אתו בקרב אחיו ותצלח רוח יהוה
של דוד מהיום ההוא ומעלה:
ויקם שמואל וילך הרמתה:
When a Jew believes upon the the Anointed One,
the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) משיח ישוע , the son of David,
he or she becomes Anointed
and the SPIRIT OF THE LORD רוח יהוה
comes upon him or her.
