Re: EAR: 06.12.23: could it have been for their benefit?
Hi Gino,
Sorry I have been so slow in replying to your query regarding my letter to Chance, https://www.fivedoves.com/letters/july2023/ear716-2.htm as to whether Jesus needs to be anointed by ‘some mere human’ when he returns; I can’t find any references in the scriptures about any such anointing of the King of Kings by mankind!
I can only refer to you Zechariah 12:1–14, where it appears an anointing will be done by the Holy Spirit of grace and supplication (not for our returning LORD), but to bring the House of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to repentance in tears, when they look on their returning Messiah ‘whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.’ 

On that day when a siege is laid against Judah and Jerusalem:  (cf. Zechariah 12:1-14)

7 “The LORD will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become greater than that of Judah. 8 In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the LORD before them. 9 It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Mourning for the Pierced One
10 “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. 11 In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of [c]Megiddo. 12 And the land shall mourn, every family by itself: the family of the [Royal] house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the [Prophetic] house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves; 13 the family of the [Priestly] house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of Shimei [Temple custodians] by itself, and their wives by themselves; 14 all the families that remain, every family by itself, and their wives by themselves.

Perhaps the Jews will anoint their Lamb-Lion-King Messiah with their tears!
Maranatha,
