Psalms Chapter 110

Psalms 110:1

psa 110:1

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 New Testament Title of "Lord." (Mat 22:41-45); (Mar 12:35-37); (Luk 20:41-44); (Act 2:34); (Act 2:35); (Heb 1:13); (Heb 10:12); (Heb 10:13).

(2) This Psalm announces the eternal priesthood of Messiah -- one of the most important statements of Scripture (Psa 110:4).

(See Scofield) - (Gen 14:18).

(See Scofield) - (Heb 5:6); (Heb 7:1-28); (Ti1 2:5-6); (Joh 14:6).

(3) Historically, the Psalm begins with the ascension of Christ (Psa 110:1); (Joh 20:17); (Act 7:56); (Rev 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. (Rom 11:25-27) and the conversion of Israel; (Psa 110:3); (Joe 2:27); (Zac 13:9); (Deu 30:1-9

(See Scofield) - (Deu 30:3),

and

(b) to the judgment upon the Gentile powers which precedes the setting up of the kingdom (Psa 110:5); (Psa 110:6); (Joe 3:9-17); (Zac 14:1-4); (Rev 19:11-21).

See "Armageddon" (Rev 16:14).

(See Scofield) - (Rev 19:17).

"Israel" (Gen 12:2); (Gen 12:3).

(See Scofield) - (Rom 11:26).
