Announcement of the Messiah’s Reign

A Psalm of David.

Psalm 110:¹ The Lord (Yĕhovah) said to my Lord (adown ie: Adoni),

• Or (shortened) אָדֹן ʼâdôn; from an unused root (meaning to rule); sovereign, i.e. controller (human or divine):—lord, master, owner. Compare also names beginning with ‘Adoni-‘.
  • The Father and Son of the Godhead.
  • ^{David’s ancestor is Jesus.}
  • ^{(Luke 3:38)}
  • ^{David’s descendant is Jesus.}
  • ^{(Isaiah 11:1) The Reign of Jesse’s Offspring – There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.}
  • ^{Psalm 110:1 Announcement of the Messiah’s Reign – A Psalm of David.The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”}

• Jesus is both King David’s “ancestor AND descendant”.
• How is Jesus David’s ancestor? Luke 3:38 declares that Adam was “the son of God.”
  • Luke 3:38 the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.
  • Therefore: the conclusion is that Jesus, as the Son of the Godhead, is King David’s ancestor. Metaphorically, Jesus (as God) “created” (gave birth to) Adam.
• In Psalm 110:1 “God” is speaking to “God”.

“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”

• ^{Note: The Father sets the enemies of the Son under the Son’s rule when Jesus returns to earth in Zion.}
• ^{To put the foot on is to subjugate. Sandals are symbolic of authority.}
  • ^{Psalm 2:6 “Yet I have set (installed) My King on My holy hill of Zion.”}

You (the Jews) have the dew of Your youth (when God chose them in the beginning).

• Note: Jesus the Christ will rule with an iron rod from Jerusalem on earth after the seven year tribulation when He sets up His thousand year reign called “The Millennium”.

Psalm 110:⁷ Therefore He shall lift up the head.

• During WW2, It was hopeless for the Jews until the Axis troops (US, England, Russia) seemingly appeared from nowhere to liberate them from the death camps in Germany. They had the renewed hope of a redeemer.
