https://youtube.com/shorts/6rafid1kTBs?si=5Qy69vMOCQszZu_R "Touch not my anointed," these words, found in Psalm 105:15 and 1 Chronicles 16:22, were spoken thousands of years ago by God concerning the nation of Israel against her enemies. Today, these are often quoted and heard in Christian circles, yet they are also misunderstood and misused. Among those in the Church, they are quoted most by persons among the clergy who find themselves having their actions questioned. It is presumed by some Christians today that the people who are referred to as God's anointed are the clergy. There is this idea that the rest of the Christians cannot be referred to as God's anointed ones. Yet 1 John 2:27 shows that all who are Christians are anointed. So, when the Bible warns God's enemies not to touch His anointed ones, He is warning them not to touch any of His children, the Christians, and not necessarily the pastor. In Luke 18:1-8, Jesus spoke a parable of a widow who found herself pleading her case for justice before an unjust judge. In verse 2 Jesus describes the judge as a person who neither feared God nor cared about men. Yet in the end the wicked judge could not withstand the persistence of the widow and had no choice but to grant her justice. Likewise, Pharaoh King of Egypt eventually had his stubborn will broken when he touched God's anointed ones. He could not escape the judgment of God. In the parable of the window's cry for justice, Jesus poses the question: "Will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? Then He answers it Himself. He says in verse 8," I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly." In the world in which we live, there is a lot of injustice. However, those who carry out injustices only have power to the extent that a voice from the earth against them is not heard. The Bible tells us in 2 Chronicles 16:9 that the eyes of the Lord range throughout the world to strengthen the hearts of those who are fully committed to Him. That means the story of an oppressed Christian does not end the same as the story of an oppressed non-believer does. True Christians do get justice even here on earth. They are not left to the whims of an unjust world. They eventually gain the upper hand and triumph over their enemies. Isaiah 54:17 calls the working out of a just end by God on behalf of His people as their heritage and His vindication from Him. That, in itself, makes Christians very dangerous to those non-believers who decide to place themselves as obstacles in their paths. This is what Pharaoh King of Egypt found out the hard way, when he touched God's anointed ones.
