What is the “anointing”?

Thomas R. Valletta

“This may refer to the Messiah (Hebrew ‘anointed one’) who was anointed with olive oil and the Holy Ghost (Acts 10:38). In addition, [this passage] contains symbols that represent Jesus the Messiah, including rock, rod, and the removal of the yoke and burden (Matt. 11:28–29)” (Parry et al., Understanding Isaiah, 112).
