1 chronicles 16:22 says, "touch not my annointed and do my prophets no harm"... We often take heed to this scripture as it pertains to the people which we are familiar with within the church setting...those that have some kind of title or role within the church such as pastor, deacon, reverend, etc...I've researched the words touch and annointed to get a better understanding of what the entire scripture means...the word touch is hebrew and also called "naga" which means to strike, beat or to bring down violently....the word annointed also called "mashiyach" means to be a concencrated person/s or believers... I have always been the type to be careful how I treat all people because you never know who they are by merely looking at them....We quickly proceed with caution when we are in the presence of someone whose appearance is highly recognizeable such as those dressed in a particular kind of wardrobe such police attire, doctors attire, someone wearing a clergyman's collar representing their faith, etc...When I think of the 1 chronicles 16:22 the meaning of this scripture expands beyond the church and to the entire world at large...as we walk through our daily lives we should be on guard at how we treat others... It is possible that we can be tempted to go against what 1Chronicles warns us not to do... How do you know whom God has annointed....How do you know whom is a believer...For if you do have wisdom about the annointed one or the prophet and still you proceed to touch and harm or as the definition states strike, beat, or bring down violently what danger lies in wait for you?????.....It is vital that we treat others with love and respect often for you may be touching and harming the annointed and the prophet...Touch not....Harm not! Don't give up on U!
