“And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.”
Exodus 37:29 KJV
Then he made the sacred anointing oil and the fragrant incense, using the techniques of a skilled incense maker. In the old covenant this anointing oil and pure incense of sweet spices, was meant for the priests and kings and never to be used by outsiders or in a common way. This oil and spices consisted of myrrh, cinnamon, calamus, cassia and olive oil. Anointing was Messiah in Hebrew and Christos in Greek. God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: Who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him. In the new covenant, we have been anointed by the same Holy Spirit, the oil of gladness to proclaim Jesus Who has made us kings and priests to God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
