Spiritual Significance Of Olive Oil

Posted on:December 30th, 2017

PRAYER OVER THE PEOPLE AS THEY TRAVEL FOR CHRISTMAS

SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF OLIVE OIL

in the bible olive oil is mentioned several times as the oil used for lighting lamps-Lev. 24:2; Exodus 27:20. Olive oil was also used for anointing oil (Exodus 30:23-25) and as part of the grain offerings (Leviticus 2:1-10). Kings were anointed with olive oil as a sign that they were chosen by God to rule (1 Sam. 16:1). As an important ingredient in the recipe for anointing oil, olive oil mixed with spices was used to sanctify priests (Exodus 30:24; 27:20, 29:7) and the Tabernacle and all its furnishings (Exodus 40:9). Olive oil was also used in cooking. Olive trees grew in Israel (Deuteronomy 8:7-8), and the people in that region used the oil from pressed olives as people in other cultures might have used butter or animal fats.

Olive oil was an important part of Jewish culture because of its many uses. Because of its centrality to much of Jewish life, olive oil was sometimes used as a symbol of richness, joy, and health (Jeremiah 31:12; Hebrews 1:9). Times of judgment were described as a season when “the olive oil fails” (Joel 1:10).

Olive oil can also be seen as a symbol of the Holy Spirit (or possibly of faith) in Jesus’ parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1-13). The five wise virgins in the wedding party had made sure they had olive oil for their lamps as they waited for the bridegroom to come. The five foolish virgins did not think ahead and had brought no oil. As the bridegroom drew near, the five foolish virgins begged the wise ones for some of their oil. But the wise virgins could not spare any. While the foolish virgins were out buying more oil, the bridegroom came, and their chance to join the wedding celebration was gone forever.

Jesus gave the point of the parable: “therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour” (Matt. 25:13). Considering the olive oil as a symbol of the Holy Spirit (or faith), we could say that only those who have the Spirit (or faith n Christ) are truly ready for Jesus’ second coming.
