Psalm 110:1 is a Messianic prophecy about Jesus Christ, His heavenly reign, and His final victory over evil.<\/strong> David prophetically describes a conversation between God the Father and the Messiah, who is both his descendant according to the flesh and his Lord according to His divine nature.<\/em><\/p>\n

Who is speaking, and to whom are these words addressed?<\/h2>\n

In the verse, the word \u201cLord\u201d is used twice, but it refers to two Persons. The first Lord is God the Father. The second is \u201cmy Lord,\u201d that is, the Messiah, whom David acknowledges as his Sovereign. For an Israelite king to call someone his Lord meant recognizing His higher authority. Therefore, this text shows that the promised Messiah could not be merely an ordinary earthly king or only a descendant of David.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lord said to my Lord, \u2018Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.\u2019\u201d Ps. 110:1<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jesus Himself applied this psalm to Himself. He asked the religious teachers how the Messiah could be David\u2019s son if David calls Him Lord. In this way Christ revealed that the Messiah has not only a human origin from the line of David, but also heavenly, divine dignity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf David then calls Him Lord, how is He his Son?\u201d Matt 22:45<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What does \u201csit at My right hand\u201d mean?<\/h2>\n

In biblical language, \u201cthe right hand\u201d is an image of the highest honor, authority, and acceptance. This does not mean that the Father and the Son are confined to human locations in space. It means that the risen Christ was solemnly exalted and received the fullness of kingly authority. After His resurrection and ascension, Jesus began a special ministry for the salvation of His people.<\/p>\n

The apostle Peter explained that this psalm was fulfilled in Christ\u2019s ascension. David himself did not ascend into heaven, but he prophesied about the One who would conquer death and reign at God\u2019s right hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says: \u2018The Lord said to my Lord, \u201cSit at My right hand.\u201d\u2019\u201d Acts 2:34<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From the Adventist perspective, this is also connected with the heavenly sanctuary. Christ is not merely resting after His earthly work: He is our great High Priest, who presents before the Father the merits of His perfect sacrifice. His heavenly ministry gives believers assurance of forgiveness, mercy, and access to God.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens.\u201d Hebrews 8:1<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Who are Christ\u2019s enemies?<\/h2>\n

The image of enemies being made a \u201cfootstool\u201d means complete subjection to Christ\u2019s authority. In the ancient world, this was a symbol of a king\u2019s victory over his opponent. However, the Bible does not allow us to reduce the meaning of the psalm only to political or national victories. The deepest enemies of God\u2019s kingdom are sin, Satan, death, and all forces that rise up against God\u2019s love and truth.<\/p>\n

The victory was already won by Christ on the cross, but its final consequences are still being revealed in history. Jesus reigns now, although evil is still active in the world. That is why Christians live not in despair, but in expectation of the full manifestation of Christ\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor He must reign till He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.\u201d 1 Cor 15:25-26<\/a><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The connection with the Second Coming<\/h2>\n

The word \u201cuntil\u201d does not mean any doubt in God\u2019s plan. It points to the time appointed by God when the struggle between good and evil will end. At the Second Coming, Christ will openly reveal the reign that is now often hidden from human eyes. Then His judgment will be just, and death and suffering will not have the last word.<\/p>\n

Ellen White repeatedly emphasized that Christ\u2019s ministry in the heavenly sanctuary is inseparably connected with the conclusion of the great controversy between Christ and Satan. For her, Christ is not a distant Ruler, but a living Savior and Intercessor, who is preparing His people to meet Him.<\/p>\n

Hope and practical application<\/h2>\n

Therefore, this verse declares: Jesus Christ is Lord, exalted at the Father\u2019s right hand; He ministers for our salvation and will surely put an end to sin, death, and satanic rebellion. The believer does not need to wait for future victory in passivity. Today one may surrender one\u2019s own heart to Christ: turn away from known sin, entrust anxiety to Him in prayer, live by His Word, and wait with hope for His glorious return.<\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"faq_question":"\u041f\u0440\u043e \u0449\u043e \u0433\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0442\u044c \u041f\u0441\u0430\u043b\u043e\u043c 109:1 \u00ab\u0421\u044f\u0434\u044c \u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0443\u0447 \u041c\u0435\u043d\u0435\u00bb?","bible_refs":"Psalm 110:1, Matthew 22:45, Acts 2:34, Hebrews 8:1, 1 Corinthians 15:25-26","answer_lang":"uk","source_question":"# \u041f\u0441\u0430\u043b\u0442\u0438\u0440\u044c 109:1\n\u00b9 \u0421\u043a\u0430\u0437\u0430\u043b \u0413\u043e\u0441\u043f\u043e\u0434\u044c \u0413\u043e\u0441\u043f\u043e\u0434\u0443 \u043c\u043e\u0435\u043c\u0443: \u0441\u0435\u0434\u0438 \u043e\u0434\u0435\u0441\u043d\u0443\u044e \u041c\u0435\u043d\u044f, \u0434\u043e\u043a\u043e\u043b\u0435 \u043f\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0436\u0443 \u0432\u0440\u0430\u0433\u043e\u0432 \u0422\u0432\u043e\u0438\u0445 \u0432\u00a0\u043f\u043e\u0434\u043d\u043e\u0436\u0438\u0435 \u043d\u043e\u0433 \u0422\u0432\u043e\u0438\u0445\n\u043e \u0447\u0435\u043c \u0433\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0441\u044f \u0432 \u044d\u0442\u043e\u043c \u0441\u0442\u0438\u0445\u0435. \u0434\u043e 10 \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0434\u043b\u043e\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0439"},"answer_topic":[173],"class_list":["post-9614","answers","type-answers","status-publish","hentry","answer_topic-second-coming-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/advent-ug.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/answers\/9614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/advent-ug.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/answers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/advent-ug.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/answers"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/advent-ug.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"answer_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/advent-ug.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/answer_topic?post=9614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
