Anointing.
Anointing is the giving of authority or a commission by a superior to someone who does not already have authority. The Bible often uses the Hebrew sukh and the Greek aleipho for the commonplace greasing, or rubbing on of oil.
God's spirit descended upon Jesus at his baptism, showing that Jesus was not anointed by spirit until that time.
Aaron was then anointed in the manner described at Psalm 133:2 and could thereafter be called the mashiach, or messiah (khristos, LXX), that is, the "anointed one."

But for a special anointing with oil, it generally uses the Hebrew word mashach, from which the word mashiach (Messiah) comes, and the Greek word khrio, from which comes khristos (Christ).Ruth 3:3 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the threshing-floor, but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.

Acts 4:26 The kings of the earth set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together, Against the Lord, and against his Anointed:

[size=-1]3:16 And Jesus when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him; [size=-1]3:17 and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.[/size][/size][/size][/size]

There's the 70 of Pentecost 33 A.D.
(Acts 2:1-6) 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place. [size=-1]2:2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. [size=-1]2:3 And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them. [size=-1]2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. [size=-1]2:5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.

Aaron was able to walk before the true God in the tabernacle.
Aaron turned the Nile river to blood using the staff that Moses walked with.
Moses split the Sea of Reeds (Red Sea) by lifting his staff above his head while he stood before the water.
Elijah prayed and fire came down from the sky which consumed the altar he set up when he was proving the idolaters were false prophets.
The apostle Peter walked on water for a bit where he went out to meet Jesus who was walking on water in the Sea of Galilee.
The other apostles cured persons of sicknesses, raised persons from the dead and expelled wicked spirits. So did Jesus. The wicked spirits were not destroyed however, just expelled from the persons who were possessed.

Are these quotes from Jesus to warn everyone about people like Paul of Tarsus, the man who nullified the teachings of all the prophets? You forgot these....t3gah said:
Don't forget Matthew 24:23-24
Then if ANY man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there, believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets...
