THE PSALMS Chapter 110 "The Humiliation, Deliverance and Triumph of David." "David's True Exaltation." "A Psalm of David." This Bible Study is is provided by http://www.theseason.org/ and shared with permission from it's author R. Christopherson We will see the victory through this Psalm of David. Psalms 110:1 "The Lord said unto my Lord, "Sit Thou at My right hand, Until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool." This is the verse used in Matthew 22:41-46. Lets take a look at this passage. Matthew 22:41, 42 "While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, "What think ye of Christ? Whose Son is He?" Matthew 22:43, 44 "He saith unto them, "How then doth David in spirit call Him Lord, saying, 'The Lord said unto My Lord, `Sit Thou on My right hand, till I make Thine enemies Thy footstool?' " " Matthew 22:45 "If David then call Him Lord, how is He his Son?" Matthew 22:46 "And no man was able to answer Him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask Him any more questions." So we see Jesus Himself quoted from David here, as did Peter in Acts 2:34 and 35, and Paul in Hebrews 1:13. This time that our Lord Jesus Christ makes His enemies His footstool is on the "day of Vengeance", "the Day of the Lord"; at His return. Then all evil will be gone, and Satan will be bound and placed in the pit for the thousand year period. The things of this earth age of flesh man will be completely done away with, and all mankind will be changed from their fleshly corruptible bodies, into their incorruptible bodies, as the angels have, for the next thousand year period. Psalms 110:2 "The Lord shall send the rod of Thy strength out of Zion: Rule Thou in the midst of Thine enemies." This verse is in reference to when Jesus Christ, the Messiah will return to rule with a rod of Iron. That did not happen in Jesus first advent when he came born of a virgin in human flesh. He lived the perfect life and suffered at the hand's of Pilot, and he was falsely accused and his life was taken at the hands of the Kenite Religious Jewish leaders of that day. When our Lord returns to rule with a "rod" of Iron, it will be at the sounding of the seventh trumpet, after Satan has had his time sitting over the religious beast of Revelation 13, and the whole world bows down to him as God. the rod of iron is unbending as the lost of man that we are under today. Yes most Christians will be deceived at this time, and bow down to Satan also in ignorance. We read of this time in Revelation 19:11-16. Revelation 19:11 "And I saw heaven open, and behold, a white horse; and He That sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war." This time the heavens open is at the seventh trumpet. Satan has slain the two witnesses, and their bodies have laid open in Jerusalem for the past three and a half days, and when life comes into their bodies, they rise to their feet, and then ascend into heaven. Then instantly heaven opens, and here comes our Lord Jesus Christ to earth with all his saints. Revelation 19:12 "His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself." God has said, "touch not my anointed", and Satan killed these two witnesses of God, and our heavenly Father's anger rises to a new height. "The flame of fire" is in his eyes, and He is heading to earth to make all things right. Revelation 19:13 "And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God." We know from John 1:1 that Jesus is the Word of God. His vesture will be dipped in His blood from his death on the cross, and this is the day of vengeance. Revelation 19:14 "And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean." This army that came with the Lord are our forefathers, the saints that are clothed in the white linen that is made up from their righteous acts done in this earth age (verse 8). Revelation 19:15 "And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God." You may play around with God's Word now, but shortly that will end. This rule of Christ's kingdom here on earth will be a boot camp for those whose name was not written in the book of life. Our Lord will rule this earth with a rod of iron over all nations of the earth. Revelation 19:16 "And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." So this is addressing the second advent. Psalms 110:3 "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." Before we get into this verse, lets get a clear understanding of who these people are. "Thy People" as used here from the Hebrew text, is a group of people with something in common, and that is they all belong to the Lord Jesus Christ and are committed to to the Father. "Shall be" in the Hebrew text is "shall offer themselves for a voluntary offering, in the day that Thou warrest". "Willing", as seen in the text is given as "freewill offering", given expecting nothing in return. It is given over to a task out of pure love, to be used by Father. "In the beauties of holiness" has been changed in the translation from the Hebrew text, however we see from Strong's Concordance #6944 that these people have been sanctified or set themselves aside to do a sacred thing. They are hallowed and dedicated to be that freewill offering to the Lord. These people are God's elect, selected from that age that was, to be delivered up to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through them, just before the coming of the Lord. Mark 13:11 "But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy ghost [Spirit]." God people, His elect are sealed with the truth in their mind, and each of them shall be willing in that day to be set aside for this sacred thing, that of allowing the Holy Spirit of God to spaek in that final hour, so that the entire world will hear the message given by God's Spirit to the councils of their synagogues. These men and women of God will be brought before kings and rulers, and each of them will be faithful to this sacred mission. We see also from Matthew 28:18-20; when Jesus came to His disciples after His death and resurrection with a mission for His disciples. "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, "All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth." Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world (age)." We are living in the end of this world age of flesh man, and the time will come when the words that come out of God's elects mouth will be from the Holy Spirit Himself. This is precious Scripture, right out of the New Testament. Psalms 110:4 "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.." The Lord has spoken these words in His holy Word, and it shall not change. It shall happen just as it is written. This is speaking of our Lord Jesus Christ, and He is the priest after the order of Melchizedek. "Melchizedek" means "Melchi" is king, and "Zedek" [the just] are the elect of God. Jesus Christ is the king over the elect of God, and they will be the ones delivered up to allow the Holy Spirit of God to speak through their mouths in these end times. God's elect, the "Zedek" of these end times will not be deceived when Satan arrives to give power back to the religious head of the one world system beast that shall rise after the political head of that beast suffers its mortal wound. Psalms 110:5 "The Lord at Thy right hand Shall strike through kings in the day of His wrath." There will be ten kings, or agencies of that one world religious system that will rule with the dragon [Satan] at the end of this earth age of flesh man. Our Lord Jesus Christ is at the right hand of the Father now, and he will strike dead these kings, to end their rule forever, as this earth age comes to a close. That shall happen on "the day of the Lord", "the day of His wrath". No Jesus is not coming back as a baby to be crucified, but as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords that shall rule with a rod of iron. He is coming back to destroy the kings of this earth. Psalms 110:6 "He shall judge among the heathen, He shall fill the places with the dead bodies; He shall wound the heads over many countries." Jesus Christ shall judge the people of this earth, and He also shall "fill", "may-lay" the (the places) with the "dead bodies". These dead are the fallen angels, those that came with Satan to reign with him in those final days of this earth age. Satan is the head, and he will be over all the countries on earth for that one hour time time of his deception. Revelation 17:12 "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdoms as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast." No, this has not happened yet, for this one world political system must fall, and out of that ruin, Satan revives the beast and gives it it's power, and in turn, the beast and kings give their worship back to Satan, the dragon. Revelation 13:3 "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wandered after the beast." The political part of the world political system of trade and commerce was killed, it ceased to function as a government. No nation respected that system anymore. Then after it stopped, Satan arrived and that same system is now a revived religious system. Satan allows it to operate, because the Satan tells the people of the world that it is his system. Revelation 13:4 "And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, "Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" Do you understand this prophecy? Our Lord Jesus Christ is returning to this earth on the day of vengeance, the day of the Lord, And He shall destroy the enemies of our beloved. He shall smite the earth, Satan and his beast system, and this earth age shall come to a close. This time is not far away to us living today. We are living in the time of the parable of the fig tree, and Jesus warned those living at this time to learn the Parable of the fig tree. Matthew 24:32 "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:" That fig tree branch was planted way back in May of 1948, when the Jews went back to establish their nation. Matthew 24:33 ""So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors." The wise will learn the prophecies of the end times, for those prophetic events are happening right before our eyes today. It is the events that we are watching on the evening news, and as we see them, know that our time is close. Matthew 24:34 "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." If you were born in this generation. Jesus is telling you that all the prophecies dealing with the age of flesh man will happen in your lifetime. That's right, you will see Satan coming looking just like you expect Jesus to come, for Satan is disguised as the angel of light. Satan will also be bringing his fallen angels back to earth with him. Psalms 110:7 "He shall drink of the brook in the way: Therefore shall He lift up the head." Satan thought he was ending the our Lord's mission here on earth, but in reality he was fulfilling the plan of God and sealing his own doom. Genesis 3:15 "And I [God] will put enmity between thee [Satan] and the woman Eve], and between thy [Satan's] seed [the Keintes'] and her [Eve's] Seed [Jesus Christ]; It [Christ] shall bruise thy [Satan's] head, and thou [Satan] shalt bruise His [Christ's] heel." This was a prophecy from the Garden of Eden. Jesus Christ's heal was bruised at the cross, and Satan's head will be bruised when God Word has been fulfilled and Jesus return at the sounding of the seventh and last trumpet. There is beauty in our Lord's Word, as we see these prophecies come to pass exactly as they were written.
