Psalms 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." (Matthew 22:41); (Mark 12:35); (Luke 20:41); (Acts 2:34); (Acts 2:35); (Hebrews 1:13); (Hebrews 10:12); (Hebrews 10:13).

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

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

( See Scofield) - (Hebrews 5:6); (Hebrews 7:1); (1 Timothy 2:5); (John 14:6).

(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) and the conversion of Israel; (Psalms 110:3); (Joel 2:27); (Zechariah 13:9); (Deuteronomy 30:1

( 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); (Psalms 110:6); (Joel 3:9); (Zechariah 14:1); (Revelation 19:11).
