Psalms 110::1

Psalms 110:1 says, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.  This psalm is completely about Jesus Christ.  Matthew Henry points out that Jews of old recognized this, but Jews today don't.  The LORD, God the Father, called on my LORD, Jesus Christ, David's and everyone's Messiah, to sit at His right hand.  God the Father also said that He would make the enemies of Jesus His footstool, and when Jesus Christ returns in judgment, they all will realize that this has always been true.  Verse two adds, The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.  Jesus Christ is the rod of truth sent out of Zion into the midst of His enemies.  They thought they had defeated and destroyed Him, but He only allowed them to let Him complete His task of providing salvation for all who will put their faith in Him, even those who crucified Him.  Verse three states, 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.  This applies to everyone who ever has or ever will accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.  We are a part of God's everlasting kingdom, and should give all praise to God because of this.  Verse four adds, The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.  Jesus is our priest forever, and He is the One Who ever will be.  He is also said to be a priest after the order of Melchizedek, who was not a priest by earthly descendent, but by Devine appointment.  Verse five declares, The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.  When Jesus Christ returns in judgment, He will strike down all of the enemies of God.  Verse six adds, He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.  Those who do not put their faith in Jesus Christ will be struck down to be sent away into everlasting punishment.  Verse seven continues, He shall drink of the brook, in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.  Matthew Henry says this brook along the way refers to when Jesus drank the bitter waters of our sins so that we might have salvation.  This stood between God and us, and Jesus removed it.  Jesus now can lift up His head in victory, and so can we if we put our faith in Him as our Savior and Lord.
