WEDNESDAY Reflections
This Psalm is a prophecy
in music from David about his descendant who will be the promised Messiah. This
psalm was referenced by Jesus when he was confronted by the Pharisees about His
authority. God revealed to David his descendant would be not just a king but a
priest, something the Jewish law wouldn't allow. This priest would not be from
Aaron's line but somehow after the order of Melchizedek.
This psalm, when seen
correctly, points to Jesus not just being the son of David but as God Himself.
For only God could be Lord to David and still his descendant. It is an amazing
Old Testament picture of the God-incarnate.
Psa 110:1-7
(1) A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
(2) The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
(3) Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
(4) The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
(5) The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
(6) He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
(7) He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
