the-anointed-one
Anointed one; a person ceremonially marked by anointing oil to designate appointment to a special office, most commonly king or priest. The term refers variously to an individual divinely chosen for leadership (such as an Israelite king) or to a priest (notably the high priest), sometimes to a prophet. In post-exilic and later Hebrew texts, it can refer with increasing specificity to a future ideal ruler, especially in eschatological contexts. The semantic range includes any person set apart by anointing for sacred or public office.
