And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with an iron scepter. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is The Word of God. He has eyes like blazing fire, and many royal crowns on His head. With righteousness He judges and wages war. And its rider is called Faithful and True. The apostle John caught a glimpse of this victory, and he wrote, “Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. Psalm 110 predicts the victory of Jesus Christ over all His enemies and the glory He will receive. Hebrews 1, while establishing Jesus’ superiority over the angels, says, “To which of the angels did God ever say, ‘Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?” (Hebrews 1:13). The Lord God Almighty, then, will put all of Jesus’ enemies under Jesus’ feet. In each passage, Jesus proves that the Messiah, the Christ, is David’s Lord and the One who will sit at Yahweh’s right hand. The New Testament records Jesus’ references to this passage in multiple places (Matthew 22:44 Mark 12:35–37 Luke 20:42–43). Who, besides Yahweh, would be more notable than the king?
This person, who isn’t David, is someone whom David as king still considers “Adonai,” an address of honor for someone more notable than the speaker. It is important to note that the Lord does not tell David to sit at His right hand this place is reserved for another. This same person has a worldwide rule (Psalm 110:6) and is called “a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek” (verse 4).ĭavid says that Yahweh tells this king and priest whom David calls “my lord” to sit at His right hand. YHWH, or Yahweh, then speaks to “my lord” (Hebrew Adonai), telling this person, this Adonai, to sit at His right hand. In it, David describes the actions of “the LORD,” which is how we render the Hebrew name of God, YHWH, into English. Psalm 110:1 tells us that this psalm was written by David. The LORD says to my lord: ‘Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’” But who is this “lord” the LORD speaks to? Is this meant to pertain to us?
