Psalm 110:1-7 “A Psalm by David. The LORD says to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet.’ The LORD will send out the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule amongst your enemies. Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your power, in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth. The LORD has sworn, and will not change his mind: ‘You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.’ The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath. He will judge amongst the nations. He will heap up dead bodies. He will crush the ruler of the whole earth. He will drink of the brook on the way; therefore he will lift up his head.”

This is far more than simply a royal Psalm celebrating Davidic rule. This is a Psalm that points to the reign of the Messiah and glorifies Jesus Christ!

Luke 20:41-44 “He said to them, ‘Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son? David himself says in the book of Psalms, “The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.’ ” ‘ David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”

Hebrews 5:5-6 “So also Christ didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’ As he says also in another place, ‘You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.’ ”

Never forget that Jesus is the big point of the Bible!

John 5:39 “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.”
