Olive Oil

“And of oil olive an hin.”
This pure olive oil is typical of the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God, as the holy anointing oil is the emblem of the Spirit of Christ, with its various and combined graces.
The Anointing Oil.
“And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.”
Two things strike us here: First, its holiness; this is twice mentioned; for the Spirit of Christ is a holy Spirit. Secondly, the tempering of the precious spices together. Expressive of the incomparable excellency of the Spirit of Christ, produced by the exquisite blending of the various graces of his character 3. perfect and harmonious oneness.
The perfume, described in Exodus 30:34-38, typifies the excellency of Jesus, God-ward. It was to be wholly burnt on God’s altar, or in the censer of the high priest, which he carried into the holiest.
The anointing oil, on the other hand, is typical of the Spirit of Christ, and the various graces of his Spirit, which are communicated to believers, and shared by them, through the anointing of the Holy Ghost sent down from Christ exalted. “Like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts, of his garments.” (Psalms 133:2.) Thus they become Christlike. Thus, the character and graces of Christ are reproduced in those who drink into his Spirit.
