Bible Question:
what is the difference between consecrated oil and normal olive oil in praying |
Bible Answer: The use of consecrated oil can be found in the Bible to anoint Holy objects: Ex. 29:36, 30:26, 40:10, Lev. 8:11 and Numbers 7:1. King David was anointed three times to be King (1 Sam. 16:13, 2 Sam. 2:4, 2 Sam. 5:3). Personal anointing is used to ordain a king or priest (Lev. 8:30, 1 Sam. 10:1,6, 1 Kings 1:39, 19:16, 2 Kings 9:3, 11:12, 23:30). Anointing an honored guest was customary treatment at a banquet (Psalm 23:5, 141:5, Luke 7:46, 2 Sam. 12:20, Ecclesiates 9:8, Dan. 10:3). In these cases, normal olive oil could be used not only to wash oneself, but also to pray. However, consecrated oil is not only used for priests but also to commission (Psalm 45:7, Zechariah 4:14, Messianic- Isaiah 61:1, Dan. 9:24, Luke 4:18, Acts 4:27, 10:38).. So we can see the differences in the uses of consecrated oil and normal oil for praying, anointing and commissioning. Oil is also used for healing (Mark 6:13, Luke 10:34, James 5:14). In 1 John 2:20,27, John speaks of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, who will teach us all things.. (Nave's Topical Bible) |
