Psalm 110 David pays homage & God gives rule to the True King (A prophetic oracle)

1 The Lord says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." 2 The Lord will stretch forth your strong scepter from Zion saying, "Rule in the midst of your enemies." 3 Your people will volunteer freely in the day of your power; in holy array, from the womb of the dawn, your youth are to you as the dew. 4 The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, "You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." 5 The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings in the day of his wrath. 6 He will judge among the nations, he will fill them with corpses, he will shatter the chief men over a broad country. 7 He will drink from the brook by the wayside; therefore he will lift up his head.

In vs. 1, David says in his spirit the Lord (God the Father, says to my Lord, God the Son) sit at my right hand. Because of God's covenant with David, the Redeemer of Israel will come from his blood line. Here also, God establishes Christ as a king-priest. All of the kings before this did not fulfill both offices. And his priestly line is not from Levi, but from Melchizedek, the priest in heaven. God promises to defend the Son and make his enemies subject to him. The Father will bring forth his wrath to the nations who oppose the True King. Here it is a reference to Jesus Christ's second advent.

Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, I await your return which is my blessed hope. In that day, I and others who have been saved by your blood will join you in your rule for the reward that has been set aside for me and others, since before there was time. Come Lord Jesus! Amen.
