Anointing oil is a special blend of pure olive oil used in Christian and ancient Hebrew faith matters. Used in reverence and in faith it can bring protection, healing and blessing from God. Traditionally, it is used to anoint someone or something, such as a person’s forehead, an item, or an animal. This practice has ancient roots and is more commonly known as the sacrament of anointing.

This Biblical anointing oil is made in Israel and contains a special blend of pure olive oil, spikenard, myrrh, sweet cinnamon, and other spices. This combination is believed to bring spiritual well-being and blessing from God. Because it is made in Israel, it is a great way to show respect and reverence for the Bible and its teachings.

In addition to being used for anointing, this special blend of oil can also be used to create oil lamps. The oil in the lamps symbolizes the light of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. It is also used in some prayer and meditation rituals.

The Biblical anointing oil is a unique and meaningful item that can be used in many religious and spiritual rituals. It is a powerful reminder of the Bible and its teachings, and it is a great way to honor and respect its power.

Traditionally, believers in Jesus have anointed with olive oil from ancient times. Students of Scripture and church tradition mention several factors that led to this. The most obvious being that olive trees are extremely common in the Mediterranean basin. God allowed His followers to use something that they either had at hand or could easily acquire. It is a great blessing that worship of God does not require anything costly or rare!

Beyond this, the ancient Israelites obeyed God and used olive oil in the Tabernacle, and later the Temple for the menorah. (Exodus 27:20) Up until the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in the year 70 AD, olive oil remained the energy source for the lights in God’s house.

A third reason for this tradition is that God likens both His people Israel and His bride the church to olive trees in the book of Romans. (Romans 11) What better oil than olive to represent the continuity of Scripture from Old to New Testaments? When Paul took the Gospel to the Gentiles, he likened this group as being wild olive branches grafted into the good olive tree of the nation of Israel. This continuity extends all the way to the book of Revelation, where God’s two witnesses who preach His name are described as two olive trees standing before the God of all the earth. (Revelation 11:4)

As followers of Jesus Christ, we join in a long, Bible-based tradition when we anoint with olive oil. When, as James instructs us, we anoint the sick with olive oil, we can be confident that our actions are grounded both in Scripture and in the example of our forefathers.
