Join Ellen Leonard as she speaks on Oils of the Bible.

Transcript [not perfect, but gives you a general idea]

00:11:32.880 –> 00:11:44.970

My name is Ellen lemon and I’m excited. I’m a little nervous but excited to talk with you and hopefully you’ll be blessed, while we talk about oils of the Bible.

00:11:45.690 –> 00:12:02.490

I’m really, I feel that God has blessed me with this opportunity and I think sharing this is something that I’m supposed to do. I feel like this is a ministry and it confused with the living Word of God. So it makes it

00:12:03.840 –> 00:12:26.820

I know very powerful. And I think we’re all here to share what we know and what we have. And so I hope you get something out of it.

00:14:42.600 –> 00:14:54.480

Okay, so we’re going to go ahead and start. So I’m looking at biblical history. If you know oil, which we’re probably not surprised at companies over 5000 years

00:14:54.990 –> 00:15:05.250

In their of the Old Testament 36 of the 39 books mentioned oil and 10 of the 27 of the New Testament mentioned them.

00:15:05.700 –> 00:15:18.300

Or it’s the plants that produce them. So in a total, you know, total there mentioned over 500 times. So the first one that we’re going to talk about our sandalwood aloes

00:15:19.110 –> 00:15:30.540

And there was a lot of scripture, but the one that that I like is john 1939 where he was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who have visited Jesus that night.

00:15:31.050 –> 00:15:48.270

Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes about 75 times and I think it’s interesting to know that the only time aloes are mentioned in the New Testament is right here. There are mentioned in the old, only this time in the news.

00:15:49.530 –> 00:15:51.330

And then another one of my favorite

00:15:52.350 –> 00:16:01.530

Scriptures when we’re talking about oils in general is that proverbs 2120 says that there are oils in the house of the why.

00:16:02.550 –> 00:16:10.020

And you know, we know that plants and trees and seeds and flowers bark and leaves. They were all given to us by God.

00:16:10.620 –> 00:16:24.600

And the thing that’s interesting is that these were very potent in biblical times more so probably than what we have now. Because when you think about it, there wasn’t any pollution, there weren’t pesticides or anything so

00:16:25.680 –> 00:16:37.380

Knowing that and the potency and power of where they got the oil is. I think it’s a really amazing. And also, of course, as we’re so blessed to be with though, Tara.

00:16:37.860 –> 00:16:47.340

Knowing that all of the oils that we’re talking about tonight are indigenous to the Middle East. So, you know, that’s why we source oils. Right.

00:16:48.420 –> 00:16:55.980

So in ancient times. I think this is interesting. They use aloes and sandalwood to enhance deep sleep.

00:16:56.970 –> 00:17:06.120

They use for their skin. They food source. And then, of course, today we use it also for our skin for healthy looking

00:17:06.630 –> 00:17:23.970

Skin darkened. Professing perfection. We also find that it enhances moon. Do we know that Santa would help. Sweet. So they still use all today or sandalwood for its grounding and uplifting property to and I also

00:17:25.170 –> 00:17:36.090

really likes the parts. There’s in numbers 24 six it says that like valleys. They spread out like gardens decider rivers like Alice planted by the Lord

00:17:36.690 –> 00:17:51.390

You know, scholars believe that that river is the phrase, and they’re referring to the paradise made by God. So I think that, you know, you’re going to start to see that it’s just kind of such an incredible story.

00:17:53.100 –> 00:17:53.430

So,

00:17:54.570 –> 00:18:06.630

Long and I want to talk about is Kesha, and actually we say Kathy a bit actually the correct term back if you look through scholars and and through. If you take it back through the meaning is actually cash.

00:18:08.040 –> 00:18:18.330

I like the scripture from some 45 eight all by garments smell of myrrh and aloes and cash out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made the glass.

00:18:19.050 –> 00:18:30.720

So, back, back in those days they use it for cooking obviously perfume for hair and mouthwash, and then they applied that topically for all those lovely things like Boyle.

00:18:32.520 –> 00:18:33.120

Infections

00:18:34.620 –> 00:18:49.560

We know that it promotes healthy digestion. As we take that internally and then we can use it for obviously to support our cardiovascular metabolic and immune function. And of course, we love it for it’s warming and

00:18:51.150 –> 00:19:03.120

Healthy or uplifting enrollment. So that is one of the things, and of course we know that it is similar to cinnamon in taste and smell. And of course it’s in our digestive and protective blend

00:19:04.830 –> 00:19:18.510

Another thing with cash, I like is that got this is one of the I remember laughing when I kind of read this and and discovered this, that, you know, God told Moses to put oil together.

00:19:19.140 –> 00:19:28.140

That was exodus 3024 so it was part and Tasha was part of the holy anointing oil so you know when you think about it, actually.

00:19:29.490 –> 00:19:37.500

That Moses was the first one who blended oil. And he did that, following that instruction. I think that’s kind of neat.

00:19:39.180 –> 00:19:58.350

So cedar wood and Leviticus 14 For then shall the priests command to take for him that is to be cleansed. Two birds alive and clean in cedar wood and scarlet and his and we know how wonderful cedar wood is for sweet.

00:19:59.880 –> 00:20:14.370

repel insects. And if you think about it, I think the Egyptians had a little insect problems. So we think back to put it mildly, so I don’t even think though that cedar wood help their insects.

00:20:16.410 –> 00:20:24.060

But they inhale that in biblical days for prayer and meditation and half of Egyptians used to prevent hair loss. So

00:20:24.570 –> 00:20:40.020

Also, it’s cool that set of cedar wood has the second highest of any of the oils and sets which are things. And so we still use it for repelling insects with relaxation. Of course, of course. It helps our skin.

00:20:41.760 –> 00:20:57.690

You know to look good and healthy and actually the cedar wood. It’s from Morocco and that is actually most closely related to the cedars of Lebanon, Lebanon, and it means connecting strong in the

100

00:20:59.460 –> 00:20:59.910

So,

101

00:21:02.370 –> 00:21:02.730

Later.

102

00:21:04.560 –> 00:21:08.220

Alright, Cyprus, this is where it starts to get very interesting

103

00:21:10.050 –> 00:21:19.050

So maybe an arc of gopher would ruin shout found making the art and shell pitch it within and

104

00:21:20.760 –> 00:21:31.530

Without with pitch not, it sounds confusing, but I’m going to explain that in a second. So we know that Mediterranean Cyprus is indigenous to Greece and Turkey and Jordan.

105

00:21:32.250 –> 00:21:45.000

And it they use it for healing stars cramping infections inspection purification instance and nosebleeds and arthritis. And then, of course, are you today.

106

00:21:45.630 –> 00:21:59.310

From a vitality and energy helps to improve the appearance of oily skin commonly the to the citrus oils for an uplifting blend. But we also use it for things to improve circulation.

107

00:22:00.570 –> 00:22:17.850

Which you know i know that i use personally for a coma blend varicose veins spider veins so that that’s just the background on Cyprus and this is where it gets pretty interesting. So

108

00:22:18.960 –> 00:22:41.670

Cyprus means Carpenter which tree and gala. So picture this is a torture device when they use pitches in that scripture in Genesis, it’s a verb, and it needs to atone for give land and cover.

109

00:22:42.690 –> 00:22:54.510

Okay, and then you see it say with pitch in the noun form, which then means redemption ransom that had a faction.

110

00:22:55.800 –> 00:23:00.510

So those eight on the earth trusted in God and they were saved.

111

00:23:01.830 –> 00:23:11.070

Well, I hate to tell some of us Southerners that most likely based on biblical history. The cross that Jesus died on

112

00:23:11.850 –> 00:23:21.990

Was not made of dog, and I know in here in the South, you’ll hear that but but but listen to it when you tap talk about history.

113

00:23:22.500 –> 00:23:45.150

So if you think about it, dog would trees are not at all indigenous to the Middle East. Right. They are indigenous to the North. North America, basically. So I don’t think that they had dog when trees in the Middle East lightly across that Jesus died was made of Cyprus.

114

00:23:46.320 –> 00:23:47.400

Or boats with

115

00:23:48.870 –> 00:24:02.100

The only other possibility $5 is that it could have been made by of all of words, but I love what is exceptionally heavy so they really do believe that it was made of Piper school

116

00:24:03.270 –> 00:24:04.830

So here we have Cypress

117

00:24:05.940 –> 00:24:16.110

Leaving the things that say Carpenter tree gallows. Jesus was a carpenter. He died on the tree by a tortured.

118

00:24:17.160 –> 00:24:23.640

And why, what’s the verb. He died to a tone is slim cover.

119

00:24:24.900 –> 00:24:46.920

And in redemption ransom self satisfaction. So basically this is where I get emotional. Try not to. In the same way, though, to trust in Jesus, a carpenter by trade, he died on a tree will experience the atonement and and forgiveness of sin.

120

00:24:48.240 –> 00:24:55.830

A ransom bringing retention and take action to the Father, and they will be safe.

121

00:24:57.240 –> 00:24:57.750

So,

122

00:24:59.640 –> 00:25:16.560

I mean, how else do you say that I’m Cyprus is really like the blood oil. In Latin it means live forever. So that gave me cold chills when I read this. So this is the blood or

123

00:25:17.490 –> 00:25:26.850

I mean, it’s like it’s our collateral cardiovascular board member I said it’s the support circulation, but it really is our bloodline.

124

00:25:29.610 –> 00:25:35.910

So then we know about frankincense oil for so many reasons, right.

125

00:25:37.470 –> 00:25:56.970

I like this that if you study, you’ll find that Egyptian tradition actually stated that frankincense is good for everything from gout to a broken head or in other words it’s good from head to toe. So we know the most famous scripture associated with frankincense is probably

126

00:25:59.340 –> 00:26:06.600

Where we’re talking about the gift of the magic words. The three men obviously they visited Jesus after his birth.

127

00:26:07.200 –> 00:26:26.160

bearing gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh. And when they brought that merge to baby Jesus to, you know, sometimes, some scholars will say that Jesus was maybe possibly a toddler by them when they brought that that frankincense was rubbed all over his body.

128

00:26:27.750 –> 00:26:34.110

That was what they did with with the frankincense, and like I said, there’s there’s quite a few scriptures in there.

129

00:26:35.940 –> 00:26:41.640

But Matthew 211 is probably the most famous so in back in those days.

130

00:26:42.750 –> 00:27:04.800

They use to to improve concentration these different Meditation, Prayer infection inflammation well versed similarly using it for those very things are what’s pretty awesome to move that our company in sources that from Somaliland and we know that we have the best frankincense possible

131

00:27:06.480 –> 00:27:18.570

So, so back in the biblical days with Saudi Arabians were actually made wealthy from frankincense and they actually have snake guard the ball slowly a tree.

132

00:27:19.170 –> 00:27:30.210

Isaiah 53 five says that the tree. The tree was covered in vipers nice for and strike that tree in layers right to to get the resin.

133

00:27:31.170 –> 00:27:48.240

The potent oil comes from the third striping. So what does that make you think of when when I started, you read this and you hear the numbers involved. So the third striping has the most pure the most pure and potent oil.

134

00:27:52.620 –> 00:27:54.600

They just, okay, we’ve got more

135

00:27:55.740 –> 00:27:56.190

So,

136

00:27:59.460 –> 00:28:11.370

I told you story I got excited and I told you the frankincense, we’re going to talk about the frankincense and myrrh here in a minute to related to someone other than baby Jesus.

137

00:28:12.210 –> 00:28:22.740

Continue on here summer in Mark 1523 they tried to give him line mixed with mirth, but he wouldn’t accept it.

138

00:28:24.090 –> 00:28:41.130

Okay, we’re gonna come back to that so ancient uses were skin religious rituals embalming in depression, obviously, to this day, we know cleansing something and promotes emotional balance and

139

00:28:42.930 –> 00:28:45.180

You know well being. So

140

00:28:46.800 –> 00:28:57.150

FROM SOMALIA murder actually has one of the highest level of assessment and we know that that is a class of compounds that affects the hypothalamus.

141

00:28:57.930 –> 00:29:10.260

And the pituitary gland and they are kind of at the seat of our emotions. So that’s one reason. It’s very potent be know that mirrors in our anti aging well

142

00:29:11.190 –> 00:29:23.280

So clean Esther’s beautification process. And this is Esther to 12 had her us merged for six months during this you know elaborate process.

143

00:29:24.390 –> 00:29:29.280

But murder was also brought to Jesus and with us in his anointing or

144

00:29:30.570 –> 00:29:31.500

The other thing.

145

00:29:33.390 –> 00:29:44.760

That the part that really gets me and with Mark and Mark 1523 is that they offered him wine mixed with murder but he did not take it.

146

00:29:45.750 –> 00:29:59.520

So when you think about that murder is healing nurturing and drawing, could that possibly be why Jesus refused that line with the murder in it.

147

00:30:00.000 –> 00:30:21.660

Could that be, because he knew what he was facing he knew what his destiny was when you think about what that oil is is used for so that scholars have also mentioned that that was possible. And one other thing about mercy, you know, mirth, it’s been talked about to be

148

00:30:23.700 –> 00:30:36.450

emotional balance the well being and all. Some people have said that they thought, possibly, Mary, that the murder was also brought for Mary, you know, postpartum depression can

149

00:30:37.680 –> 00:30:53.610

Happen and it can last for years. So that was just something I read about that. Some scholars wonder if maybe Maria was not brought from Mary as well. Here she was 14 year olds with a baby. So I thought that was interesting.

150

00:30:55.230 –> 00:31:10.560

And also they in Psalms 45 eight Christ guy garments are said to have smelled of mirth, because they use Merv. You see, it’s an embalming but they also use it in their burial.

151

00:31:11.520 –> 00:31:19.170

Clothing to make that Nova. So that’s another thing with murder. There’s quite a few things you can see all the scriptures up there.

152

00:31:20.490 –> 00:31:20.760

With

153

00:31:22.470 –> 00:31:23.190

Now, this

154

00:31:24.210 –> 00:31:36.120

Is interesting. So we’re talking about 500 which of course we have in that solomon, solomon one to 12 while became synthetic table my fight nerd, send us for the smell. There

155

00:31:36.600 –> 00:31:49.230

So we know that it’s used as a would use as a PR feel a tonic and incense mood enhancer. So these days it’s uplifting it promotes feelings of calmness.

156

00:31:50.520 –> 00:31:54.960

Is often used with meditation and it’s very purifying to the skin.

157

00:31:55.980 –> 00:32:12.630

So it and fight nerve was a component of the sacred instance which was burned in the church, the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem that included spike in something they always did, and the Greek word actually means genuine in pure

158

00:32:13.980 –> 00:32:32.190

So now comes the question with not so you probably are fairly familiar with john about the very popular scriptures and this is Lynn Mary anointed. Jesus see with Nard and white.

159

00:32:32.850 –> 00:32:58.950

His feet with her hair. And this is when Judas Iscariot was angry, and said that she wasted a year’s worth of a man’s wages and that money should have been given to the poor. And so we know there’s a lot of about that. And so, back then, the question is, was what Mary you fight.

160

00:33:00.600 –> 00:33:01.950

Or was it lavender.

161

00:33:03.120 –> 00:33:13.830

Because Nard is what they referred to as lavender. So that’s what the Greek Paul’s lab working hard and

162

00:33:14.880 –> 00:33:21.840

The great name for Lavender is narcissist, and that’s after city nardo from where it was derived

163

00:33:22.500 –> 00:33:40.830

So the lat the word Lavender is derived from another Latin words in the forest, which means to wash your plants. So I remember because when I heard of whitener van is the first scripture. I thought I said I thought that that’s what Mary use to wash Jesus’s face.

164

00:33:42.000 –> 00:33:52.560

So now you’re going to get lavender me 20 to 44 and being an English he prayed more earnestly in his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

165

00:33:54.180 –> 00:33:58.500

So Jesus and anoint was anointed at Bethany.

166

00:33:59.760 –> 00:34:08.490

And Jesus. So now the question is, and scholars do believe now that almost set Lavender is what was used to anoint his feet.

167

00:34:11.460 –> 00:34:19.710

We know that lavender is calming sedative, obviously, it’s one of our, our best and most favorite oils for all of those reasons.

168

00:34:22.830 –> 00:34:28.770

But Lavender is a colliding and it was commonly used to stop bleeding.

169

00:34:30.000 –> 00:34:35.460

Lavender is known for cleansing of skin irritations lacerations through

170

00:34:36.600 –> 00:34:39.150

Romans commonly use that for cleanse.

171

00:34:40.560 –> 00:34:47.550

So, truthfully, we can see how married after worship and anointed in Washington Jesus’s feet.

172

00:34:48.870 –> 00:34:55.890

Points to jesus is coming, anxiety, the beating the very thing and

173

00:34:57.570 –> 00:35:03.900

So, as Mary was preparing Jesus before it would take place.

174

00:35:05.790 –> 00:35:29.280

So, I mean, we know that he suffered and great anxiety and maybe only prior to the trail and so scholars didn’t feel like a Mary anointed his feet, then Nard which was likely lavender and I know for me that was was something that was just diff. I had no idea about that.

175

00:35:31.350 –> 00:35:47.340

So true come six days after Mary annoyance jesus jesus seven to 12 disciples come into Jerusalem from Bethany and that evening, Jesus paid and early evening Passover meal with his disciples

176

00:35:49.410 –> 00:35:57.840

On the seventh day after his anointing binary and we know that that number seven represents completion imperfections.

177

00:35:59.400 –> 00:36:00.840

Jesus would be crucified

178

00:36:06.150 –> 00:36:13.080

So we can see in several of the scriptures from the Cyprus and the ark.

179

00:36:14.280 –> 00:36:25.410

To Mary of Bethany anointing of Jesus that God uses on many occasions, the things to point people to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

180

00:36:26.700 –> 00:36:30.360

Plants are you to complete his eternal message of hope.

181

00:36:31.710 –> 00:36:35.640

I think it’s, it just kind of blows my mind that

182

00:36:37.590 –> 00:36:43.020

But the last chapter, the last book and the last chapter in the Bible.

183

00:36:44.070 –> 00:36:45.990

Revelations 22 to

184

00:36:47.130 –> 00:36:54.570

Jesus is coming in the middle of the street and on either side of the river was the tree of life.

185

00:36:55.830 –> 00:36:57.360

Which for 12 for

186

00:36:58.680 –> 00:37:02.370

Each tree yielding its fruit every month.

187

00:37:03.390 –> 00:37:08.190

The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nation.

188

00:37:09.360 –> 00:37:13.980

And what are we using, ladies and gentlemen, we’re using those

189

00:37:16.140 –> 00:37:26.460

There are some I am just going to touch rose of Sharon if something that is Matt mentioned, but there’s conflicting information.

190

00:37:27.300 –> 00:37:47.640

Known scholars, they could have been actual Rosie’s interview or just they had a general term for flowers at that time. So whether that was the role that share. And now we know that that will do on the job of the bills. We know that that goes back. So that’s a question.

191

00:37:49.050 –> 00:38:05.370

Another question that people raise all the time is about Myrtle, now we have a lemon Myrtle, that is not mentioned, but it was likely a very Myrtle was likely very abundant and but as far as specifically somebody always asks about that.

192

00:38:07.140 –> 00:38:10.920

So basically at that is what I have for you.

193

00:38:12.210 –> 00:38:30.840

And as each one has received the gift Minister it to be one another, Minister it to one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God in this first Peter 410 and I think any ministry is a great privilege and

194

00:38:32.970 –> 00:38:34.410

I hope your left.

195

00:38:36.300 –> 00:38:37.200

So, thank you.

196

00:38:40.680 –> 00:38:48.990

Ellen. That was absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much. We’re getting so many positive comments on Facebook here.

197

00:38:50.310 –> 00:38:51.540

It was amazing.

198

00:38:51.900 –> 00:38:52.530

Thank you.

199

00:38:52.800 –> 00:38:57.960

I’m curious if anybody has any questions for Alan, I know that someone asked

200

00:38:59.100 –> 00:39:10.890

How do we did she get that from a book I said no. She had, she attended a training. So does anybody have any other questions. I know that that sometimes puts our speaker on

201

00:39:12.240 –> 00:39:17.070

On a spotlight to answer questions, but I know you can do it. Ellen so

202

00:39:17.250 –> 00:39:17.700

Let’s see.

203

00:39:18.060 –> 00:39:35.700

If anybody’s got anything you are just amazing what what a beautiful testimonial. That was amazing to hear you speak with such strength and knowledge on such a very important topic and hearing you get so

204

00:39:37.140 –> 00:39:53.010

Touched by this was was really wonderful as well. So we all know how incredibly important. Anytime we talk about Scripture. It’s so important and to see your heart just open so much. That was really beautiful. So

205

00:39:53.760 –> 00:40:04.620

I can probably provide some some information in a, like a possum handout or something that may give some of this information that if that’d be helpful.

206

00:40:05.190 –> 00:40:10.170

I’m sure that everybody would love that any additional information that you want to

207

00:40:11.190 –> 00:40:13.650

Give would be would just be amazing.

208

00:40:15.120 –> 00:40:23.400

I didn’t Christy said. I didn’t know about the spike nerd and lavender being referenced sorta sort of as one in the same as the word Nard that’s

209

00:40:24.030 –> 00:40:32.940

Like cool. That was really neat, though, that was a really cool piece of information. I didn’t know that either. It’s fantastic. And I loved

210

00:40:33.780 –> 00:40:47.190

The what you had to say about this cypress tree, the imagery of the cypress tree being the cross and therefore the actual blood oil. How beautiful is that that is just beautiful. It’s beautiful.

211

00:40:48.750 –> 00:40:52.080

So we’re getting a lot of people saying they would love if you would

212

00:40:52.560 –> 00:41:13.860

give any more information that you have, whether that be in a in a handout, or in any other form. So this was obviously a very popular topic we had a lot of people who joined online and on zoom Leann Craig said she would love to do a whole six week Bible study on this.

213

00:41:15.120 –> 00:41:31.290

And he said this was fantastic, thank you for this. I love hearing oils and God’s word Monica said so much detail, but the Cyprus and the cross is blowing my mind. So, this is awesome. This is so awesome.

214

00:41:32.370 –> 00:41:46.560

I want to thank Kendall church. She is also very much a part of that with us and our team and very, very knowledgeable about that. So we need to all get together.

215

00:41:48.420 –> 00:41:51.240

But not be cool to do a Bible study where we can dive.

216

00:41:51.240 –> 00:42:03.240

Deeper. Not only that, you know what’s amazing about this is it gives us the opportunity when we are studying the word in order to find out more about how God uses plants and oils and

217

00:42:03.450 –> 00:42:21.060

Just all of nature in order to really bless us. What we’re really doing is we’re studying the word right which is the most important thing. It gets us diving deep and learning more and it never ceases to amaze me how God uses

218

00:42:22.110 –> 00:42:23.070

All of these

219

00:42:24.180 –> 00:42:35.460

Just he brings all of these really amazing connections in scripture and it is like, I remember hearing one of my pastor, say, one time you know God.

220

00:42:36.300 –> 00:42:58.230

hides himself in plain sight. Because just like an easter egg that we, as adults, love to have our children find. He wants us to find his word, right. He wants us to find those tidbits within his word. So if he hides it in plain sight. We just have to look for it which is so cool. So

221

00:42:59.280 –> 00:43:11.370

That’s awesome. Well, it looks like we’re getting a lot of accolades, you’ll have to hop on over to the Facebook live video and see all of the amazing things that people said to you, and about you.

222

00:43:11.610 –> 00:43:18.900

But we’re not getting a lot of questions. So I think we can wrap on up here, this video, it stays on our

223

00:43:19.410 –> 00:43:35.400

Oily hippies page so you have access to it and in a few days, we will get it uploaded to Vimeo and posted on the oily doc website. So if you have someone who you are just itching to share this information with

224

00:43:36.510 –> 00:43:39.390

We will definitely have it in the members area.

225

00:43:39.990 –> 00:43:53.670

We may have it in the general public area. But remember, this is one of the amazing things that you get as an extra bonus for being a member of this team so
