Creation and Healing (No. 001F)

Introduction

God created the world up to some 700 million years ago. The core is no older than that as we now acknowledge. He summoned all of the Heavenly Host of the Sons of God for that creation under their Morning Star leaders as we see at Job 38:4-7.

He left the Archangel Azazel, who later became Satan-el, in charge of the planet with his element of the Host. They experimented with the creation over the age and for some reason it became tohu and bohu or waste and void (Gen. 1:1). Either Satan allowed it to become that way, or he facilitated it. The prophet Isaiah 45:18 says God did not create it that way.

God then, in or before what we understand as the year 4004 BCE, sent the elohim Host under the being we understand as Christ, of the Sons of God to refurbish the earth. In that way Christ was held to have created this age or aeon and the surrounding kosmos or environment.

God ordered the creation of the Adamic race and He did so as part of a distinct plan (cf. the Plan of Salvation (No. 001A)), with a specific purpose (cf. The Elect as Elohim. (No. 001)).

We know that Satan or Iblis objected to this plan and purpose. He was listened to and God (Eloah or Ha Elohim) allowed him the six working days (Genesis ch. 1) or first six thousand years of the creation to rule the creation on the earth (cf. Commentary on 1Peter (F060); Commentary on 2Peter (F061) and Commentary on Jude (F065)).

The initial phase of the Adamic Creation involved Adam and Eve as sinless beings and their life span was not limited. Their capacity to die was only introduced by sin which is disobedience to the law or word of God (1Jn. 3:4). It was then that their life spans became limited and their life spans gradually and increasingly became shorter. Their initial DNA structure became shorter as they lived. These aspects are explained in the paper Doctrine of Original Sin Part I: The Garden of Eden (No. 246) and also The Doctrine of Original Sin Part II: The Generations of Adam (No. 248). In the first phase or two thousand years man lived for one thousand year life spans after they had sinned.

After the birth of Abraham and the Second Phase of two thousand years to the Birth of Christ the life span of man was reduced to 120 years and then to 70 years. The YDNA and mtDNA of mankind was reduced progressively and was altered by God especially from the Tower of Babel and the dispersion and reduction/mutation of their DNA systems.

The Wages of Sin is death and that involves the decrease of the physical immunity and the progressive human deterioration resulting in death. So evolution does not exist as a factor of increasing life, rather humans have a continuous genetic deterioration due to sin and a failure to abide by the Laws of God (L1) and especially the Food Laws (P015).

Mankind’s understanding of his own history is the product of wilful disobedience and deliberate misrepresentation of Bible Law and History. The original Human DNA was set as mtDNA as Haplogroup (Hg.) L which then divided into mtDNA HG N and HG M and then into all other subdivisions. Most are caused by genetic mutations induced by background radiation in the mtDNA.

The YDNA was set with Adam as SRY 10831.1 M42 M94 M139. And the major division was into Hg A at M91 and P97?; and Hg B (M60, M181, P85? P90?)

All other groups branched from Hg C and HGF dividing from M168, P9.

These became effectively national divisions which are explained in the texts Genetic Origin of the Nations (No. 265) and these were divisions of the Sons of Noah. The two earlier divisions of the mtDNA Hg L and the YDNA Hgs. A and B all moved into Africa. They did not come out of Africa until much later divisions such as YDNA Hg. C4 and 5. The DNA structure of pre-Adamic Humanoids does not match or integrate with the Adamic Structure. It is also a grossly elongated time frame (cf. Creation v Evolution (B9)).

The pre-Adamic Humanoids were all the experiments of Satan and the Fallen Host and will not enter either the First (143A) or the Second (143B) Resurrections, so also the Nephilim (No. 154) or Rephaim (cf. No. 143) involved with the Adamic creation. The DNA of the Neanderthals and Denisovans (120,000 YA) are not human 8 strand DNA of the later primates. Nor are the Cro-Magnons (30,000 YA) of the same DNA structure. It is for that reason that the archaeologists do not publish the DNA structure and misrepresent the ages involved.

Life and Healing

All life and healing comes from God. Control of the system is also appointed by God.

The One True God (Eloah) allocated the nations to and under the control of the Sons of God of which there were understood to be Seventy Divisions (plus two). Hence there were seventy nations. The elohim allocated Israel (Deut. 32:8ff) was to become a human and come out of Jacob (Num. 24:17) and was to become the being we understand as Christ (Jn. 10:34-36) and for that reason the Sanhedrin killed him. The power of the 70 (+ 2) had been transferred to the Sanhedrin at Sinai (Num. 11:26-27) and that was then transferred to the Seventy of the Church in Luke 10:1,17 as the hebdomekonta (duo).

Christ was anointed above his partners therefore the spiritual realm also has anointing (Ps. 45:6-7; Heb. 1:8-9; Deut. 32:8 RSV).

The priestly control and instruction of the nations is effected through the rule and power of the Seventy (two) of the church. Through these are the 144,000 appointed over the age of the church and including the prophets and patriarchs themselves and the Great Multitude of the elect of the First Resurrection (No. 143A) as detailed in Revelation chapter 7. The nations are deceived by Satan and are destroyed and made sick through disobedience of God and His Laws (L1). It was for this reason that the paganised Arabs as pseudo-Muslims have turned the Gulf of Oman into the largest dead zone in the world through disobedience to God’s Law (L1) and particularly the Food Laws (No. 015) (cf. Surah 03:93).

God says after appointing the elohim and through the prophet Moses in

Deuteronomy 32:39 "'See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god beside me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.

This also involves the world and its kings.

2Kings 20:5 "Turn back, and say to Hezekiah the prince of my people, Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will heal you; on the third day you shall go up to the house of the LORD.

Again we see God deal with and through the prophets in 2Kings 20:8 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of the LORD on the third day?"

So also healing is available to the people and especially God’s people.

2Chronicles 7:14 if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

So also the concepts of sin are involved with the people and also concerning the land.

Job 5:18 For he wounds, but he binds up; he smites, but his hands heal.

God is not limited in His power to heal.

Psalm 6:2 Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

So also sin against God is often involved in the sickness of our people individually and collectively.

Psalm 41:4 As for me, I said, "O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against thee!"

So also is there a time for all God’s Plans to take effect.

Ecclesiastes 3:3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

Isaiah 57:1 The righteous man perishes, and no one lays it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from calamity, ²he enters into peace; they rest in their beds who walk in their uprightness.

At the time of the end many of the Righteous will be allowed to die to protect them from the horrors to come.

God’s plans concern the whole creation in its proper time as we see in Isaiah 19:22:

And the LORD will smite Egypt, smiting and healing, and they will return to the LORD, and he will heed their supplications and heal them.

Isaiah 57:18 states: I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will lead him and requite him with comfort, creating for his mourners the fruit of the lips.

So also Isaiah 57:19 Peace, peace, to the far and to the near, says the LORD; and I will heal him.

Jeremiah 3:22 "Return, O faithless sons, I will heal your faithlessness." "Behold, we come to thee; for thou art the LORD our God.

We depend on the grace and favour of God as Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for thou art my praise.

God promises restoration through Jeremiah 30:17 For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, says the LORD, because they have called you an outcast: 'It is Zion, for whom no one cares!'

So also in Jeremiah 33:6 Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security.

In Ezekiel 30:21 we see God is involved with all nations. "Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and lo, it has not been bound up, to heal it by binding it with a bandage, so that it may become strong to wield the sword.

We are not to turn to other nations for healing as we are told through the prophet Hosea 5:13: When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to the great king. But he is not able to cure you or heal your wound.

Hosea 6:1 "Come, let us return to the LORD; for he has torn, that he may heal us; he has stricken, and he will bind us up.

Hosea 7:1 when I would heal Israel, the corruption of Ephraim is revealed, and the wicked deeds of Samaria; for they deal falsely, the thief breaks in, and the bandits raid without.

There is no sin that cannot be forgiven and healed. The blaspheming of the Holy Spirit involves its rejection and thus cannot be forgiven as it involves rejection and removal from the Elect and the Resurrection (cf. Mk. 3:29). So also the unrepented sin of the Corinthian required his removal to be saved (1Cor.5:5)

Hosea 14:4 I will heal their faithlessness; I will love them freely, for my anger has turned from them.

So also the shepherds must be faithful and God will deal with the faithless flock.

Zechariah 11:16 For lo, I am raising up in the land a shepherd who does not care for the perishing, or seek the wandering, or heal the maimed, or nourish the sound, but devours the flesh of the fat ones, tearing off even their hoofs.

This is also the Idol Shepherd in the last days and over the ages. This act is for a specific purpose of God.

Here we see above that God then gave Christ power over the demons and sickness and sin and it was and is given to the faith as the Churches of God. We retain this power forever and with it the power of healing so long as we obey God and His Laws under God’s Calendar (No. 156). If a body has lost the power of healing, as have the WCG and offshoot system and the SDAs, it is because one has, or the body has lost the favour of God and the Lampstand (cf. The Lampstand in the last Days (No. 170A)).

Matthew 8:7 And he said to him, "I will come and heal him."

Matthew 10:1 And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity.

Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay.

Nor are we limited in when we can heal and use the power of God.

It is only when the church has become fat and dull and they see and do not understand as when they do they can turn and God will heal them.

Matthew 13:15 For this people's heart has grown dull, and their ears are heavy of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should perceive with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn for me to heal them.'

Matthew 17:16 And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him."

So also sometimes healing is limited but the church as a whole has great power.

So also will the selfrighteous seek to accuse us.

Matthew 12:10 And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. And they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?" so that they might accuse him.

Mark 3:2 And they watched him, to see whether he would heal him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him.

Luke 4:23 And he said to them, "Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, 'Physician, heal yourself; what we have heard you did at Caperna-um, do here also in your own country.'"

Luke 5:17 On one of those days, as he was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

Luke 6:7 And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him.

We are given the power of healing so that it might be shown who has the approval of God. All is done by faith.

Luke 7:3 When he heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his slave.

So also is healing accompanied by the works and witness of the faith.

Luke 9:2 and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal.

So also were we given power over the demons and to heal the sick when the Seventy were sent out in Luke 10:1,17.

Luke 10:9 heal the sick in it and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'

So also it is lawful to heal in the Sabbath.

Luke 14:3 And Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?"

John 4:47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

Nor is it too late to request healing and restoration but some are blinded to the faith.

John 12:40 "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their heart, and turn for me to heal them."

Act 4:30 while thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of thy holy servant Jesus."

Act 28:27 For this people's heart has grown dull, and their ears are heavy of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should perceive with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn for me to heal them.'

Physical Healing

Proverbs 3:8 It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.

Proverbs 4:22 For they are life to him who finds them, and healing to all his flesh.

However, healing can be withheld and often it has been withheld from entire churches as we saw with the WCG and its offshoots who have fasted and prayed for the restoration of healing and power over the demons and God has refused them.

So also God will refuse to heal and break those He will, and beyond healing.

Proverbs 6:15 therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.

So also we can comfort and bring healing with our words and actions.

Proverbs 12:18 There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

And again in Proverbs 13:17 A bad messenger plunges men into trouble, but a faithful envoy brings healing.

So also a stiff necked person will not be healed but broken.

Proverbs 29:1 He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing.

God says through Isaiah that He will rebuke nations to bring them back to Him.

Isaiah 19:22 And the LORD will smite Egypt, smiting and healing, and they will return to the LORD, and he will heed their supplications and heal them.

Isaiah 58:8 Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you, the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.

It is always a matter of faith under trial.

Jeremiah says that in the last days the voice of Dan-Ephraim will warn of the coming of the Messiah and the world will again be made waste and void but God will not make a full end (Jeremiah 4:15-27) (cf. Warning of the Last Days (No. 044)).

They look for peace but find no peace.

Jeremiah 8:15 We looked for peace, but no good came, for a time of healing, but behold, terror.

Jeremiah 8:18 My grief is beyond healing, my heart is sick within me.

Jeremiah 14:19 Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? Does thy soul loathe Zion? Why hast thou smitten us so that there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; for a time of healing, but behold, terror.

Jeremiah 30:13 There is none to uphold your cause, no medicine for your wound, no healing for you.

Jeremiah 33:6 Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security.

Jeremiah 46:11 Go up to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt! in vain you have used many medicines; there is no healing for you.

Egypt and the idolatrous nations will be sent into tribulation especially now in these Last Days. Yet the Messiah will be sent to us soon and we will be restored and the nations will be healed for the millennial system.

Ezekiel 47:12 And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing."

God says through Malachi 4:2 But for you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go forth leaping like calves from the stall.

Healing was used by Messiah and the church to reach the people.

Matthew 4:23 And he went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people.

Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity.

Luke 9:6 And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

Luke 9:11 When the crowds learned it, they followed him; and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and cured those who had need of healing.

Age is also no barrier to the healing and the restoration.

Acts 4:22 For the man on whom this sign of healing was performed was more than forty years old.

Acts 10:38 Note also that it was God who anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

Paul also spoke of the power:

1Corinthians 12:9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

The powers of the Holy Spirit are given in different measures but also we are set aside for different works.

1Corinthians 12:30 Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

Revelation 22:2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

So also these powers will reside with us as the City of God (No. 180) and on into the future.

Anointing by the body

Anointing can be for authority or healing or appointment. That power is given to the Church with the Lampstand of the time.

Strong’s H4886 mâshach (maw-shakh')

A primitive root; to rub with oil, that is, to anoint; by implication to consecrate; also to paint: - anoint, paint.

The power was given to the priesthood under Melchisdek and then to the sons of Levi under Aaron and Moses and through the prophets before and in the Church of God, when the power was transferred to the Church of God under the Messiah (cf. Role of the Fourth Commandment in the Sabbath-keeping Churches of God (No. 170) and Commentary on Hebrews (F058)); and for the establishment of the Priesthood of Melchisedek under Messiah as High Priest.

The Temple and its utensils were to be anointed to serve God and so were the Kings of His people to be anointed and set aside and none shall lift his hand against the Lord’s anointed.

Exodus 28:41 And you shall put them upon Aaron your brother, and upon his sons with him, and shall anoint them and ordain them and consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests.

Exodus 29:7 And you shall take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head and anoint him.

Exodus 29:36 and every day you shall offer a bull as a sin offering for atonement. Also you shall offer a sin offering for the altar, when you make atonement for it, and shall anoint it, to consecrate it.

Exodus 30:26 And you shall anoint with it the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony,

Exodus 30:30 And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests.

Exodus 40:9 Then you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and consecrate it and all its furniture; and it shall become holy.

Exodus 40:10 You shall also anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar; and the altar shall be most holy.

Exodus 40:11 You shall also anoint the laver and its base, and consecrate it.

Exodus 40:13 and put upon Aaron the holy garments, and you shall anoint him and consecrate him, that he may serve me as priest.

Exodus 40:15 and anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may serve me as priests: and their anointing shall admit them to a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations."

So also will the Temple be restored at the beginning of the Millennium when Messiah restores the land (cf. The Golden Jubilee (No. 300)).

None shall anoint himself.

Deuteronomy 28:40 You shall have olive trees throughout all your territory, but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olives shall drop off.

The symbol of anointing is also used in prophecy symbolising spirits as trees.

Strong’s H5480 sûk (sook)

A primitive root; properly to smear over (with oil), that is, anoint: - anoint (self), X at all.

See also the parable of Judges 9:8 The trees once went forth to anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive tree, 'Reign over us.'

So also the anointing of Ruth for Boaz grandfather of David symbolised the Gentiles being incorporated among the elect.

Ruth 3:3 Wash therefore and anoint yourself, and put on your best clothes and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

Washing and anointing oneself (using Strong’s H5480) is used not for the purpose of consecration but as part of a cleansing ritual.

Rule of the Kings as Prophecy

We see the appointment of the King as Saul. 1Samuel 9:16 "Tomorrow about this time I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel. He shall save my people from the hand of Philistines; for I have seen the affliction of my people, because their cry has come to me."

1Samuel 15:1 And Samuel said to Saul, "The LORD sent me to anoint you king over his people Israel; now therefore hearken to the words of the LORD.

This rule was to delineate the first phase of the Creation as Anointed by God (cf. Rule of the Kings Part I: Saul (No. 282A)). Thus the power rested with God in all aspects.

God then had Samuel anoint David son of Jesse as King and the ancestor of the Messiah.

1Samuel 16:3 And invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for me him whom I name to you."

1Samuel 16:12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he."

(cf. Rule of the Kings Part II: David (No. 282B)).

So also in that line the kingdom was to remain in Judah for the Messiah (cf. Rule of the Kings Part III: Solomon and the Key of David (No. 282C)).

So also this lineage was to continue and the church was to take over under Christ and the elect were to be a nation of Kings and Priests and rule the earth (Rev. 5:10). So also man was to become the Repository of the Holy Spirit and were to become Gods as elohim (Jn. 10:34-36) (cf. Rule of the Kings Part IIIB: Man as the Temple of God (No. 282D)).

So Solomon was anointed as king.

1Kings 1:34 and let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet there anoint him king over Israel; then blow the trumpet, and say, 'Long live King Solomon!'

So also God anointed the King of Syria and the King of Israel at the same time.

1Kings 19:15 And the LORD said to him, "Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael to be king over Syria;

1Kings 19:16 and Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint to be prophet in your place.

So the prophets were appointed by God and as with Elisha he was anointed in the place of Elijah.

God also intervened over the appointment of the Kings of Israel when they were corrupted with idolatry among the Sun and Mystery Cults and the influences of their leaders such as Jezebel.

2Kings 9:3 Then take the flask of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, 'Thus says the LORD, I anoint you king over Israel.' Then open the door and flee; do not tarry."

2Kings 9:6 So he arose, and went into the house; and the young man poured the oil on his head, saying to him, "Thus says the LORD the God of Israel, I anoint you king over the people of the LORD, over Israel.

2Kings 9:12 And they said, "That is not true; tell us now." And he said, "Thus and so he spoke to me, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, I anoint you king over Israel.'"

God instructed Elisha to send one of the sons of the prophets to anoint Jehu as king over Israel. In that way he removed the house of Ahab and had already appointed and anointed the successor.

Never let a wicked man to anoint you with oil.

Psalm 141:5 Let a good man strike or rebuke me in kindness, but let the oil of the wicked never anoint my head; for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds.

KJV reads Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

NLT: Let the godly strike me!

It will be a kindness!

If they correct me, it is soothing medicine.

Don’t let me refuse it.

But I pray constantly against the wicked and their deeds.

Thus the sense is not an injunction against the anointing by the wicked rather than participation in their deeds.

So also the terms of prophecy are clear but are often misrepresented by the false prophets.

Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks of years are decreed concerning your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place. (cf. also vv.25ff).

In the Seventy Weeks of Years the Temple was to be rebuilt and destroyed and the Church was to replace it in the dispersion from 70 CE (cf. The Sign of Jonah and the History of the Reconstruction of the Temple (No. 013)). In this Judah was destroyed and replaced by the Church of God under Messiah.

Sometimes it is necessary to prepare for prophetic revelation as Daniel was shown in the vision of Daniel chapter 10.

Daniel 10:3 I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks.

Then on the Twenty-fourth day of the month he was given the vision.

So also should we be concerned over the ruin of Joseph which is the wealth and strength of Israel.

Amos 6:6 who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the finest oils, but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!

We fast for the restoration of the people of faith but we are not to visibly show we are fasting.

Matthew 6:17 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

So also the dead were anointed in Israel.

Mark 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.

Luke 7:46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.

Christ rebuked both the Sardis and Laodicean systems that are dead and spewed out of the mouth of God. Only individuals will inherit the First Resurrection of these two systems.

See Revelation 3:1 and Revelation 3:18 Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may be rich, and white garments to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.

Anointing laws

The laws regarding the oils and spices and procedures are at Exodus 25:6 oil for the lamps, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense,

Exodus 29:7 And you shall take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head and anoint him.

Exodus 29:21 Then you shall take part of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron and his garments, and upon his sons and his sons' garments with him; and he and his garments shall be holy, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.

Exodus 30:25 and you shall make of these a sacred anointing oil blended as by the perfumer; a holy anointing oil it shall be.

Exodus 30:31 And you shall say to the people of Israel, 'This shall be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations.

Exodus 31:11 and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the holy place. According to all that I have commanded you they shall do."

Exodus 35:8 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense,

Exodus 35:15 and the altar of incense, with its poles, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle;

Exodus 35:28 and spices and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.

Exodus 37:29 He made the holy anointing oil also, and the pure fragrant incense, blended as by the perfumer.

Exodus 39:38 the golden altar, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the screen for the door of the tent;
