The way how the Anointing of the Bride manifests – Explanation with a pattern
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past day, for our soul to be safeguarded without dying we must follow the eternal law that God has given us. Everyday whenever we go to the altar to worship God our spirit, soul and body whenever it is submitted as a burnt offering to God and we must cleanse ourselves with the truthful word and God is showing this as a pattern through Aaron and through Christ God is teaching this to us.
Also, God is telling Moses to make two types of anointing oil for the tabernacle.
The first anointing oil Exodus 30: 23 – 25 “Also take for yourself quality spices—five hundred shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling cane,
five hundred shekels of cassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.
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.
My dear people when we read here, to make the anointing oil we see that God is telling Moses and it is written what all sweet-smelling substances should fill the anointing oil. God is showing and explaining to us clearly with a pattern. The mentioned sweet-smelling substances should all be present without any decrease in quantity. These sweet-smelling substances are the fruits of our soul. Where this substance is present is in our soul. Many people will think that anointing will come from heaven and look for it. Many others say the same thing – how our heart is renewed and puts away the old image and when we put on the new image, which is Christ in our soul then from Christ and from the laws, commandments, statues and from all the good deeds of the words of God which we have accepted these sweet-smelling substances are manifested.
Also, God is telling that we are a garden. Just like how there are many trees standing in a garden, our soul is a garden of God and in that garden the trees necessary should be standing and this is what God desires. The trees which do not please God (deeds) God cuts them off. We must be as good fruit yielding trees necessary for God.
That is, in Isaiah 51: 3 For the Lord will comfort Zion, He will comfort all her waste places; He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; Joy and gladness will be found in it, thanksgiving and the voice of melody.
My dear people, if we will obey the words of God and walk according to it, God will change us into Zion and will give us comfort in that and will comfort all the waste places in our soul. In that, we who have lived as a wilderness with nothing will be filled by the teachings of God (Eden). We will become like the garden of the Lord (a garden where he walks around). In our soul there will be joy, gladness, and voice of melody.
Song of Solomon 4: 13 – 16 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with pleasant fruits, fragrant henna with spikenard,
Spikenard and saffron, Calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense, myrrh, and aloes, with all the chief spices—
A fountain of gardens, A well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
Awake, O north wind, and come, O south! Blow upon my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come to his garden and eat its pleasant fruits.
My dear people, God is telling Moses to use some sweet-smelling substances together and make the anointing oil that is from our soul the anointing oil is being poured. That anointing oil is when our heart is cleaned well and when the deeds of the world, flesh and devil are completely destroyed and when we receive only the spirit of Christ in our soul and along with that if we will unite with the words of God and walk according to what pleases God and learn all the good ways, become complete and when we will live as people with good characters then only the appearances of our soul will rise up as trees filled with good fruits. If we will always fear God and walk in this manner, we will be a sweet-smell necessary for Him.
Then from the depths of our soul, with the sweet-smelling substances (with the smell) the Holy Spirit, who is the bride will ascend and come. He comes and makes the sweet smell blow in the garden. That smell is just like the smell of Lebanon.
That is what in Song of Solomon 4: 10 How fair is your love, my sister, my spouse! How much better than wine is your love, and the scent of your perfumes than all spices!
Your lips, O my spouse, drip as the honeycomb; Honey and milk are under your tongue; and the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
In the portion of the Old Testament, till the Holy Spirit was manifested we can read that all the above-mentioned portions of the tabernacle are told to be anointed. We can know that God is doing this to show us as a pattern.
Exodus 30: 31 “And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations.
This kind of holy anointing should be made in our soul and let us submit ourselves for God to anoint us completely.
Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
