The Mantle of his Humanity—the Anointing John 3:34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. (NIV) II. The Two kinds of Mantles 2 Kings 2:9-10 and so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you? Elisha said, please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me. So, he said, you have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so. III. Don’t Touch the Mantle 1 Chronicles 16:22 Do not touch My anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm. Numbers 12:1 Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? suddenly Miriam became Leprous, as white as snow. Numbers 12:10 then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper. So, Aaron said to Moses, Oh my Lord! Please do not lay this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned. 1 Samuel 17:39 and David said to Saul, I cannot walk with these pieces of Armor for I have not tested them. So, David took them off.
