The importance of Psalm 110 is attested by the remarkable prominence given to it in the New Testament.

(1) It affirms the deity of Jesus, thus answering those who deny the full divine meaning of his N.T. title of "Lord." Mt 22:41-45 Mk 12:35-37 Lk 20:41-44 Acts 2:34,35 Heb 1:13 10:12,13.

(2) This Psalm announces the eternal priesthood of Messiah--one of the most important statements of Scripture (Ps 110:4).

See Scofield Note: "Gen 14:18" See Scofield Note: "Heb 5:6". Heb 7:1-28 1Tim 2:5,6 Jn 14:6.

(3) Historically, the Psalm begins with the ascension of Christ Ps 110:1, Jn 20:17 Acts 7:56 Rev 3:21.

(4) Prophetically, the Psalm looks on

(a) to the time when Christ will appear as the Rod of Jehovah's strength, the Deliverer out of Zion. Rom 11:25-27 and the conversion of Israel Ps 110:3 Joel 2:27 Zech 13:9 Dt 30:1-9 See Scofield Note: "Dt 30:3", and

(b) to the judgment upon the Gentile powers which precedes the setting up of the kingdom (Ps 110:5,6); Joel 3:9-17 Zech 14:1-4 Rev 19:11-21.
