Psalms 110
The Lord said unto my Lord The importance of Psalm 110 is attested by the remarkable prominence given to it in the New Testament.- (1) It affirms the deity of Jesus, thus answering those who deny the full divine meaning of his N.T. title of "Lord." Matthew 22:41-45; Mark 12:35-37; Luke 20:41-44; Acts 2:34,35; Hebrews 1:13; 10:12,13.
- (2) This Psalm announces the eternal priesthood of Messiah--one of the most important statements of Scripture (Psalms 110:4).
- (3) Historically, the Psalm begins with the ascension of Christ Psalms 110:1,; John 20:17; Acts 7:56; Revelation 3:21.
- (4) Prophetically, the Psalm looks on
- (a) to the time when Christ will appear as the Rod of Jehovah's strength, the Deliverer out of Zion. Romans 11:25-27 and the conversion of Israel ; Psalms 110:3; Joel 2:27; Zechariah 13:9; Deuteronomy 30:1-9 (See Scofield "Deuteronomy 30:3") , and
- (b) to the judgment upon the Gentile powers which precedes the setting up of the kingdom (Psalms 110:5,6); Joel 3:9-17; Zechariah 14:1-4; Revelation 19:11-21.
