The Prince Of Peace Applies His Oils Of Joy

The Historic Context Leading to the Moment

In the ongoing fulfillment of Donald Trump as the Messiah and the Prince of Peace foretold in Isaiah 9:6, the anointing Oils of Joy from Isaiah 61:3 took center stage at the White House this week during a meeting with the leader of Syria. Trump, having personally selected and launched the cedarwood-amber scent of “Victory” in October of 2025 introduced his Oils of Joy as a new instrument of diplomacy. This marked the first public application of these oils in Trump's statecraft. The meeting between President Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa capped a diplomatic whirlwind week. Sharaa, the former leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), had carried a $10 million U.S. bounty until July 2025. HTS’s 11-day offensive toppled Bashar al-Assad in December of 2024. By September of 2025, Sharaa addressed the UN General Assembly, the first HTS leader to do so. The UN Security Council removed him from its global terrorism blacklist on November 7, 2025. On November 8, 2025, the U.S. State Department issued the formal delisting notice:

“Ahmed al-Sharaa is hereby removed from the Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) list, effective immediately. All associated sanctions are lifted pending bilateral review.”

Two days later on November 10, 2025, Ahmed al-Sharaa walked into the White House and shook Donald Trump’s hand, the first Syrian head of state to step foot in the White House since Syria gained independence from France in 1946. The formal agenda covered suspension of the Caesar Act sanctions for 180 days, preferred trade status with a maximum 10% tariff on all Syrian exports to the U.S., establishment of a permanent U.S. military base in the Deir ez-Zor region near the Iranian border, and Syria’s formal entry into the U.S.-led Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS. After the signing and official photographs, the tone shifted from policy to the ritual of anointing where the Prince of Peace applied the oils of joy he himself had created.

The Cologne: Trump’s “Victory” Fragrance

Victory by Trump launched in October 2025 at $199 per bottle. Trump personally curated the scent profile: cedarwood, amber, leather, with top notes of citrus and spice, marketed as “the scent of triumph.” The bottle is gold-plated glass with a removable cap in the form of a miniature gold statue of President Trump.

The Anointing Sequence: Complete Step-by-Step

The entire exchange was recorded by the White House press pool. Below is the full account: Trump unscrews the gold statue cap with deliberate care and places the statue on the Resolute Desk, facing the cameras. Trump then lifts the bottle to his own neck. One spray on the left side (under the ear). One spray on the right side. He inhales deeply and nods. Trump turns to Sharaa, bottle in right hand, one spray on the left side of Sharaa’s neck. Sharaa immediately raises his right hand to catch a few droplets on his fingers, and brings them to his nose. His hand now blocks access to the right side. Trump pauses, bottle poised. He says, “Not done yet.” Sharaa lowers his hand, smiling slightly. Trump leans across and delivers one spray on the right side of Sharaa’s neck. Trump steps back, holds the bottle up. “This is the best scent.” Trump then turns to Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani. One spray on the left side of his neck, one spray on the right side, the minister stands still and accepts. Trump replaces the gold statue cap. He hands the large, heavy, gold-plated statue to Sharaa like it is an Oscar. Sharaa accepts it with both hands, holding it prominently.

Trump gestures to an aide who produces a second bottle, this one the women’s version of Victory. Trump says, “And we have one for your wife.” He pauses, looks directly at Sharaa, and asks, “Wait—how many wives do you have?” Sharaa, whose English is limited, understands the question. He raises one finger and says, “One.” Trump laughs, slaps him on the shoulder and says, “Okay, just one. Gotta make sure, you never know.” The aide hands over the single women’s bottle. Sharaa accepts it alongside the men’s version.

Isaiah 61:1–3 (KJV) – The Anointing Text

1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

The Nature and Interpretation of the Oil of Joy

The phrase “oil of joy for mourning” in Isaiah 61:3 has long been understood as the Messianic gift of peace and restoration—not merely emotional comfort, but the end of war, oppression, and sectarian violence. In ancient Israel, anointing oil was applied after battle to signify victory, healing, and the restoration of covenant life. The oil replaced the ashes of mourning with the fragrance of life renewed. In this modern fulfillment, the oil of joy is Victory cologne, and the mourning is Syria’s 14-year civil war with 500,000 dead, 13 million displaced, Christian churches burned, Druze villages shelled, Alawite massacres, Kurdish autonomy crushed, and ISIS beheadings.

The Prince of Peace has now ended the war through U.S. recognition. He has secured U.S. military protection for all minorities: Christians in the south (Suwayda, Damascus), Druze in the south (Jabal al-Druze), Alawites in the north (Latakia, Tartus), and Kurds in the northeast (Rojava). He has asked to locate a U.S. military base in Deir ez-Zor to block ISIS resurgence and Iranian infiltration. He has extended Abraham Accords security coordination to Syria. Sharaa becomes a “tree of righteousness,” no longer a terrorist but a U.S. ally planting stability. Thus, the oil of joy is not perfume for its own sake, it is the scent of peace, the fragrance of restored order, the aroma of a nation reborn under the hand of the Prince of Peace.

The Biblical and Historical Essence of Anointing Oils

Anointing oils in Scripture and the ancient Near East were never ordinary lamp fuel, olive oil was merely the carrier; the true power lay in the precious resins and spices blended into it like frankincense, myrrh, cinnamon, cassia, sandalwood, cedar, and calamus (Exodus 30:23–25). These were costly, fragrant, and royal, reserved for kings, priests, and the consecration of holy things. Trump's Victory Cologne, with its cedarwood and amber notes echoes these very resins, woody, resinous, enduring. Applied to the neck pulse points follows the ancient method: the oil warms with the body, releasing its scent slowly, marking the anointed as set apart, restored, victorious.

Conclusion: The Exchange Ends

The ritual closed with shared laughter and mutual respect. Sharaa left the Oval Office bearing more than just treaties, he carried the first two bottles of the newly created Oils of Joy to take back to the Middle East, Trump’s Victory: one for himself and one for his wife. The cedar and amber lingered long after the doors closed, a quiet testimony that the Prince of Peace has come, and that the Oils of Joy now flow from Washington to Damascus.
