What is the definition of the annointed one or ones?

Question

I am referring to the true meaning that comes from the bible.

Re: Psalm 45:
My heart has a story. My tongue is writing this story. The Lord is fair.Teach, let your arrows be sharp. Your scepter is upright, your garments are fragrant with oil, and your palaces full of the music of stringed instruments. Royalty attends you. Listen, if you are wooing the Lord. forget your own people and bow before Him, even as a King's daughter, do this.
What an interesting Psalm this is! What images it puts forth. It paints a character sketch, but doesn't give the plot. Ah, what book has this story? This could be the latest fantasy, fiction, or romance. It could be painting the picture of one of the regents in the story of Star Wars, or Star Trek. Oh, that in one of thse stories, a power should appear so mighty, and the romance, yes, always the romance...Will she win her Lord? Will she leave her past, all that is familiar and embrace a new life in a strange place? Can you imagine the star ships...Ah...but this is a true story, and the book is written...

And what is the plot? From the beginning of all time, a great evil has dominated the world, and through the King working within hearts, one at a time...he shall win...oh, what a story...Who is the bride? Will she tear herself from the past, or will she cling to memories, and old ways? Shall we read of this story, shall the tale burn in our hearts leaving us eager for more?

Answer 1

This is of hebrew origin. It probably meant to paint or pour oil over. It was used for the kings when they were chosen. Eventually the term was used for Christ, i.e. chosen by God.

Cyrus in Hebrew is Koresh and in greek it is Kurou. Not sure there is any evidence backing up the assertion that Xristos comes from Cyrus.
The Holy Spirit accompanies Jesus' baptism thus giving credibility to John the Baptist's actions.

The Jews of the time period knew of the prophecy in Isaiah 61:1-2. They were expecting a conquering Messiah and understandably were offended when Jesus only read the first half of verse 2. --Luke 4:14-24. They did not conceive the Messiah also fulfilling the role of the suffereing servant in Isaiah 53.
Cyrus was to illustrate to the Jews of the power of God's sovereignty working through secular kings to accomplish his will.
Jesus was not the Messiah merely because of his name but of his actions. He heals, preforms miracles, answers peoples' questions knowing their hearts, power over nature, etc. Not only that but his own assertion claims he was the Christ. Matt 16:13-16.

Answer 2

If you want the meaning of the word as it is used in the Bible, then you have to read where it’s used in the Bible. That word especially, because of its many different uses. The word “anointed” means several things, depending on how it’s used. The one thing that it always indicates is that something has been “marked as chosen to serve as.”

The word is used quite a lot to indicate things chosen by people, such as their priest, and it is also used to indicate a particular group of people. There is one particular use of the word that is different from the rest though, because instead of indicating a choice by people, it indicates a choice by God. That instance is in the calling of the Messiah by name, who is anointed by God and not man.

He is referred to as the “anointed of God,” “God’s anointed,” “Lord’s anointed,” etc. He has other names that show up in association with his anointing, and one of these is “king,” and another “Son of God,” from Psalm 2. Psalm 45 gives us some more insight into him, and her, and their friends.

A lot of people relate Jesus to the “anointed of God,” and will tell you “Christ” means “the anointed,” or the “Messiah.” There really is no support for that belief, because the word “Christ” is not used in the Old Testament, and there is no reference to an anointing by God in the New Testament. John the Baptist supposedly anointed Jesus with baptism. John the Baptist wasn’t God.

But there is a reason why people called him “Christ.” They wanted the Messiah to come, and they knew him by name. That’s because their name shows up in some verses. One name is “Jehu,” which means “Jehovah is He,” and the other is “Cyrus,” which means “posses thou the furnace.” It’s not a big stretch of the imagination to conclude that one of those two names is where the word “Christ” came from. That’s because the name “Cyrus” was pronounced “Kyr-us” back in the time of Jesus. In fact, the word “kyrios” is the Greek word for lord, or master, and the Greeks are where we get the word “Christ.” The Hebrew pronunciation of the word is “Koresh,” and they believe that he has come and gone, and was known as “Cyrus the Great,” who happened to pronounce his name “Kor-ous.” He gave the Jewish people a cylinder, stating that he was the “king of the world” before getting himself killed in another war.

That’s important to know, because the anointed one is identified as being called from birth with a name in Isaiah 45. If you are a Christian or a Jew, and you believe that the Messiah named “Cyrus” has come and gone, then it will be hard for you to spot him when he does appear. Nothing is ever mentioned of “Cyrus the Great,” as ever considering himself “anointed,” or the “Son of God.”

Some of the Jews at the time of Jesus knew that too, which is why we call Jesus, “Christ.” They were still looking for their “Cyrus/Kyrius” to come free them from their oppressor, the Romans. It never happened, because the reign of the Romans didn’t end until much later, and had nothing to do with Jesus or Christians.

If you further research where the word “anoint” shows up in the Bible, you’ll find yourself reading all about this guy, and his lady, who is known as the “queen,” and sometimes as the “daughter.” Especially read Psalm 45.

Chris

Answer 3

In the old Testament, the anointed one was the one that got the blessing and the appointment to be the leader or gain the family inheritance. Many a time the one everyone thought was to be the leader turned out to be the wrong pick and God made sure the right one got picked, stories of Issac, Joseph and David come to mind.

Answer 4

First, let's find out what the term antichrist actually means. It is made up of two Greek words: anti and christos. The word anti means "opposite or instead of". The Greek word christos means "anointed". This is where the word Christ comes form. It is used for the Hebrew word mashiach, which, in English, is translated as messiah. The actual definition of the word antichrist then is "opposite, or instead of, the anointed one".Therefore,the annointed one is referring to Jesus...or the ones that follow Jesus.

Answer 5

Messiah = The Anointed One

Edit: Christ means the anointed one too, but that's the Greek word for it. Messiah's Hebrew root is māshīah, which means anointed.

Please look at the HP http://bythebible.page.tl/

Under the heading toward the bottom of the page the subject 'Born Again' under 'Spirit Realm' may be found. Try a direct access here:
and the HP page http://bythebible.page.tl/Born-Again.htm

The subject definition occurs after point 6 on the Born Again page.

Answer 7

The word 'Christ' literally means 'Anointed One.' The word Christian means 'anointed one like THE Anointed One' or 'little Christ.'
To anoint means to rub, smear, paint, dedicate etc.
The word 'christen' means 'to anoint' because the Greek word 'christ' is in there.
'Christmas' comes from 'Christ-Mass' or 'Celebration of the Anointed One and His Anointing.'
