Psalm 110:1: The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
The words of this psalm are addressed to the psalmist’s “Lord.” The expressions are those of a prophet who had received a revelation from God. Jesus quoted Psalm 110:1 in Mark 12:36 to demonstrate that He the Messiah was to be David’s Lord, not merely David’s Descendant. David knew that he was not that one, but that a greater One was coming who would have dominion, power, and glory forever. 1
Living the Transformed Life
But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. Hebrews 10:12–13
- The prophetic Word of God…spoke of a coming Messiah to redeem mankind from the penalty and power of sin, and He came, and He finished that work.
- The prophetic Word of God…spoke of the coming Holy Spirit to fill every born again believer to be witnesses to the world, and He came, and He is at work today.
- The prophetic Word of God…spoke of the second coming of Christ to reign and rule on the earth for 1000 years, and His return is near, and He is our blessed hope, and we are awaiting the glorious appearing of our great God & Savior, Jesus Christ.
Prophecy is what our all knowing God told us in advance about a glorious future with Him.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, for revealing that You are in absolute control over everything. Dear Jesus, thank You for being the Word of Life. You spoke it. You fulfilled it.
