I WILL MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET

Proclamation:

“The Lord says to my Lord: ‘Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.’”  Psalm 110:1 (NIV)

Explanation:

The words of this psalm were written under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God by King David.  This messianic psalm begins with God, The Father, talking to God, The Son.  This is confirmed by Jesus, The Christ, when He spoke to the Pharisees (Matthew 22:41-45) and by the apostle Peter speaking on the day of Pentecost. (Acts 2:32-35)  David referred to Jesus, The Christ, as “my Lord” and “The Lord” as God.  Jesus is the only one to sit at the right hand of God.  This sets forth the deity of Christ.

Application:

Jesus, The Christ, had many enemies and included among them are all of the enemies of His people.  Some of them have already been conquered, like sin, Satan, and the world, but there are others which remain to be conquered like the antichrist.  All of the kings of the earth will bow down to Him as The King of kings.  When the time comes, He will judge all nations and all people. (Psalm 110:6)  This will be to the joy of all believers and to the chagrin of everyone else.  That is when we will hear Him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant … enter into the joy of your Lord.” (Matthew 25:21)
