RRB notes: Psalm 110

Psalms 110 KJV

A Psalm of David.

1. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. [1]

[1] The verse is quoted six times in the New Testament (Matt. 22:44; Mark 12:36; Luke 20:42; Acts 2:33-35; Heb. 1:13, 10:12-13). Given this emphasis, the United Nations should be in a state of mortal terror. They will end up licking the dust (Psa. 72:9; Isa. 49:23; Rev. 2:26-27) and kissing the feet (Psa. 2:8-12) of a military dictator who rules as a “Zionist” in Jerusalem on Mount Zion (Psa. 2:6).

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: [a] thou hast the dew of thy youth.

[a] Second Advent (Mal. 4:1-5; Matt. 13:43; Judg. 5:31; 2 Sam. 23:4; Exod. 19:16; Psa. 49:14; Isa. 21:12, 58:8; Hos. 6:3).

4. The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. [b]

[b] Heb. 7:11-22.

5. The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings [c] in the day of his wrath.

[c] Rev. 16:12, 17:12.

6. He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; [d] he shall wound the heads over many countries. [e]

[d] Rev. 14:20, 19:17-18 cf. Psa. 79:2.

[e] Hab. 3:12-13.

7. He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. [2]

[2]  Enigmatical. Nobody has ever expounded it properly yet and probably never will. Nearly all the commentators spiritualize it and give you nonsense. Old Testament types similar to it can be found in 1 Samuel 30:9-10 and Judges 7:5-6, 15:17-19. If you took it literally, Jesus would be “renewing his youth” (vs. 3), having been cut off before He was forty years old (Isa. 53:8). At the Advent, He is shown making His way back to Jerusalem, stomping on a Moslem graveyard as He rides through the Eastern Gate. He stops long enough at the Brook Kidron, crossing the brook on His white horse (Zech. 14:3-10; Jer. 31:39-40; John 18:1) to take a drink of water.
