This aligns with <a href="/2_peter/1-21.htm">2 Peter 1:21</a>, which states that prophecy comes from God as men spoke from God being carried along by the Holy Spirit. It underscores the belief in the inerrancy and authority of the Bible, as the Holy Spirit is seen as the ultimate author.David himself declared David, the revered king of Israel, is recognized as the author of many Psalms. His role as a prophet is highlighted here, as he speaks of events and truths beyond his own time. This reference to David adds weight to the prophecy, as he is a central figure in Jewish history and lineage, being an ancestor of Jesus Christ, as noted in <a href="/matthew/1.htm">Matthew 1:1</a>.‘The Lord said to my Lord This phrase is a direct quote from <a href="/psalms/110.htm">Psalm 110:1</a>, a messianic psalm. The first "Lord" refers to Yahweh, the covenant name of God, while the second "my Lord" refers to the Messiah. This indicates a conversation between God the Father and God the Son, highlighting the divinity and authority of the Messiah. It also points to the complex nature of the Trinity, where Jesus is both David's descendant and his Lord.“Sit at My right hand Sitting at the right hand is a position of honor and authority, signifying power and sovereignty. In ancient cultures, the right hand was considered a place of favor and strength. This imagery is used throughout the New Testament to describe Jesus' exaltation after His resurrection, as seen in <a href="/hebrews/1-3.htm">Hebrews 1:3</a> and <a href="/ephesians/1-20.htm">Ephesians 1:20</a>, affirming His divine authority and role as King and High Priest.until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’ This phrase speaks to the ultimate victory of Christ over all opposition. The imagery of enemies underfoot is a common biblical metaphor for complete subjugation and defeat, as seen in <a href="/joshua/10-24.htm">Joshua 10:24-25</a>. It points to the eschatological hope of Christ's return and the final establishment of His kingdom, as prophesied in <a href="/revelation/19-11.htm">Revelation 19:11-16</a>, where Jesus triumphs over all His foes.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a> The second king of Israel, a man after God's own heart, and the author of many Psalms.

From this verse (<a href="/psalms/110.htm">Psalm 110</a>.) our Lord shows that the Messiah, such as he was, was not a mere man, as the Pharisees thought, but that he was God, and therefore David's Lord. The meaning, therefore, is this, "The Lord God said to my Lord," that is, Christ, "Sit thou at my right hand," that is, when, after his cross, his death, and his resurrection, he will exalt him far above all principality and power, and place him next to him in heaven, that he may reign with supreme happiness and power and glory over all creatures. These words show that this is a Divine decree, fixed and irrevocable. Till I make thine enemies thy footstool (ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου); literally, the footstool of thy feet; that is, reign with me in glory until the day of judgment, when I will make the wicked, all opposing powers, subject to thee. The word "till" does not imply that Christ will then cease to reign. "Of his kingdom there shall be no end." But he will then formally deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father, only that he may receive it again as the second Person of the Godhead. <a href="/commentaries/mark/12-36.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Speaking by ἐν (en) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_1722.htm">Strong's 1722: </a> In, on, among.
