The anointing of the Spirit took place at John's Baptism when the Spirit
descended on Christ like a dove..at the age of thirty
Acts 10:38...That word, I say, ye know, which was published
throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John
preached; How God anointed Jesus
of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power:
John's baptism was the inauguration of Christ into the earthly
priesthood
Psalm 110:4...The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a
priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. (earthly)
God spoke audibly...at the beginning and ending of Christ's earthly
ministry...3 1/2 years - anointing represented God's ownership and announcement
of the Kingdom Message presented to backslidden Israel
John's baptism was prophesied to prepare the way of Christ...Malachi 3,
Isaiah 40
Christ had to obey Levitical Law to be without spot or blemish...
Psalm 1 (perfect lamb without spot of blemish)
Christ was born with the
Spirit
Christ had the Spirit
without measure his whole life on earth
Christ was led by the
Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the Devil
Christ was anointed with
the Spirit at John's Baptism and beginning of His earthly
ministry
After Israel rejected the promised King...Christ had the eternal
Spirit when He gave himself at Calvary
