The Anointed One in the Story of David
Three quarters or even more of all the occurrences of the word messiah in the Hebrew Bible are somehow related to the story of David. The key portrait that I wanted to focus our attention on was the image of David being privately anointed as becoming the heaven on earth representative of God's rule in Israel. And it becomes this long story of God's real anointed one waiting patiently through persecution and suffering from his own brothers, wandering in the wilderness,. hiding in caves, waiting for God to exalt him.
