Excerpt from Lectures on Theology, Vol. 3 of 4 It would be tedious to refer to all the notices of the Mes siah which are contained in the Old Testament. As I have laid before you predictions and declarations respecting his person, so I might proceed to collect testimonies to the whole work which he would perform, to his humiliation, his suffer Ings, his death, his resurrection, his ascension, his power, the progress and final triumph of his religion. But, passing these, I observe, that an expectation was excited of a great deliverer, who would appear in a future age to accomplish the redemp tion of the people of God. He was known by various titles, as the Redeemer, the Messenger of the Lord of hosts, He that should come, and the Messiah. This last title signifies the anointed one, as Christ does in Greek and was given to him to denote his divine appointment to his office, and his qualifications for it. In ancient times, the pouring of oil upon them was a rite used in the consecration of kings, priests, and prophets. In allusion to it he is called the Messiah, because he was set apart to the office of Mediator by God himself.
