AN AMAZING PSALM ABOUT JESUS AS GOD AND AS ISRAEL'S KING

PSALM 110

[1] 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.

THE WORD OF GOD IN MIND-BOGGLING!

This Psalm speaks of the future glory of the Son of David, Jesus Christ.  It is a picture of The Son of God (LORD = YHVH = Jehovah = Jesus) speaking to Himself as Jesus, the Son of Man, in His role as the Son of David, Israel's Messianic King.  And I thought the Trinity was difficult to understand! 

 

The Bible is simple enough to save a child.

And, it is complex enough to humble theologians!
