Anointed One
        1. In the Old Testament a Deliverer is promised under the title of Messiah, or Anointed, Ps 2:2; Da 9:25,26 and the nature of his anointing is described to be spiritual, with the Holy Ghost. Isa 61:1 see Luke 4:18
         In the New Testament Jesus of Nazareth is shown to be the Messiah, or Christ or Anointed, of the Old Testament, Joh 1:41; Ac 9:22; 17:2,3; 18:4,28 and the historical fact of his being anointed with the Holy Ghost is asserted and recorded.
