What does the Bible say about God's anointed?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible refers to God's anointed as those chosen by Him, notably including Christ and figures like Cyrus in Isaiah.

In Isaiah 44:28, Cyrus is described as God's anointed, appointed to fulfill God's purposes, specifically the restoration of Jerusalem. This foreshadows the greater anointed one, the Lord Jesus Christ, who fulfills all righteousness and delivers His people from sin and corruption. The anointing signifies a divine selection for a particular mission or task, highlighting God's sovereignty in using even pagan rulers to accomplish His will.
