Bits of Torah Truths – Torah Concept of the Messiah Loving Righteousness – Episode 138

Hebrews 1:9
ט אָהַבְתָּ צֶּדֶק וַתִּשְׂנָא רֶשַׁע, עַל–כֵּן מְשָׁחֲךָ אֱלֹהִים, אֱלֹהֶיךָ, שֶׁמֶן שָׂשׂוֹן מֵחֲבֵרֶיךָ.״ (תהילים מה׳ ז׳–ח׳)

Hebrews 1:9
1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. (KJV)

Psalm 45:6–7
45:6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: The sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows. (KJV)

Here the author of Hebrews 1:9 quotes from Psalms 45:6-7 speaking of loving righteousness, hating inquiry, and being anointed with the oil of gladness. This verse from the Psalms is part of a royal psalm that celebrates the wedding of a king and his bride. It praises the king for his virtues and his divine favor. These things speak to a Torah perspective on the Messiah of God and of who we are as God’s people who love righteousness and are filled with the joy of the Lord!
