Psalm 110

It took me about 1 minute to read this psalm. God gave David a peek into the events of heaven. He heard the Father speaking to the divine Son promising him an inheritence of a mighty rule, and the royal priesthood first pictured in the life of Melchizedek. What a wonder to witness the giving of these promises in the heavenly realm. Yet we hold the seat in history of greater joy; we live in the time when these promises have been fulfilled. Even now we Christians live in the glorious kingdom of God's Christ. We bask in the shelter of the eternal priest of God; Jesus, our sacrifice. We can look back on scripture and see God's movement in history to bring to fullness the promises that were made in David's hearing.
