Oil of Gladness
Therefore, the prophet, even Samuel, hears what the Lord says, Speak Lord, your servant listens. Thus says the Lord, I have made a covenant with my chosen one. I have found David my servant. I have anointed him with the Oil of Gladness, even the anointing of my son. And he will establish righteousness and will administrate goodness to everyone.
I will raise him from among the people and I will give him companions who also love righteousness. And they will dispense the administration of grace to the world, they will dispense the Kingdom of God on earth. In every city, in every region, in every country, I will raise up to me Messiahs, who shall fulfill all my will.
And the prophet arise and move about the city looking for the Lord's anointed. And they brought him Saul, that wasn't him, and they brought him Abinadab, that wasn't him. And all the people passed before him and none among them was the leader.
Is there no man, are there none among these who love righteousness? Is everyone of them after gain, serving their own interests and not minding the poor and the lowly? And Elijah cried because none among the people hungered for justice, none among them thirst for equity.
And the Lord told him, Why are you cast down Elijah? Arise and behold the one who is anointed with the Oil of Gladness. Go to the ghetto and enter that dilapidated house.
See this little child whom the people despise, see this wretched one dressed in rags, see this lowly one who has no certification, see this meek one who plays with the little children, see this shy one who would not lift up his head to see a man in the face, see this poor man who is scorned by his peers, he is the Anointed of the Lord. It is he I have anointed with the Oil of Gladness. It is he who loves righteousness and hates iniquity.
This is the king I have set upon my Holy Mountain. This is the one my heart delights in. It is he who will fulfill all my desire. And the Isaiah did as he was told and smeared this one with oil, and the Spirit of the Lord filled him with gladness.
And many came to be with him, and they established an administration. And they went to uncharted territory and built great houses. And they went and removed all the people from the ghetto, and they brought the masses to the great quarter and lodged them in great houses. And they create farming ground in the city, and they bring down borders and people travel across the earth.
Righteousness also stimulates the ground that it brings forth a harvest, abundance never seen or heard. Supplus are shipped to neighboring regions for the abundance of crops the land has produced. The elements are benevolent, the weather is favourable, humanity shows kindness to each other.
Truly, the Anointing of the King has beatified the world. People celebrate; there is gladness everywhere as the masses feast of the good things of the earth. Indeed, kingdom has come, indeed Father's will is done on earth as in heaven.
Summon all creation to the banquet of the king. Everyone is accepted. Everyone enjoys everything that pertains to life and virtue. Because this one has loved righteousness and hated iniquity, because he was zealous for the welfare of humanity, because he desired the good of everyone, therefore, God, even the Father, has raised him up and anointed him with the Oil of Gladness above all his fellows to administrate the Kingdom of God on earth, as it is in heaven.
Our Father in heaven, thy Kingdom Come.
