God Conferring Authority on Man.

Anointing was the pouring of a special oil prepared to God's formula, over the head of those appointed to serve Him, under the provisions of the Law of Moses.

"Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Take the following fine spices…liquid myrrh, half as much of fragrant cinnamon…fragrant cane…cassia and a hint of olive oil. Make these into a sacred anointing oil…. Anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, so that they may serve me as priests.'" (Exodus 30:22-30).
The Hebrew word Messiah means 'anointed', and the Jews, guided by their prophets expected their Messiah to be the anointed king to rule over God's kingdom of Israel.

"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, (Christ) because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor." (Isaiah 61:1).

These prophecies are fulfilled in Jesus, whose title 'Christ' is the Greek word meaning "The Anointed One". Jesus Christ was anointed with the Holy Spirit. "You know what has happened throughout Judea…how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him." (Acts 10:37-38).
