Why Is Psalm 110:4 So Amazing? | Psalm 110

Why is Psalm 110 the most quoted Psalm in the New Testament, and yet perhaps one of the most unknown Psalms to Christians today? What have we missed? In our last episode we discussed v.1, a verse Jesus quotes and surprises everyone with an observation everyone missed for over a thousand years. In this episode, we talk about the amazing v. 4. Don’t miss it! Psalm 110:1–3 ESV A PSALM OF DAVID.  1 The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”  2 The LORD sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your enemies!  3 Your people will offer themselves freely on the day of your power, in holy garments; 4 The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.”  5 The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.  6 He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses; he will shatter chiefs over the wide earth.  7 He will drink from the brook by the way; therefore he will lift up his head. Luke 24:36–45 NIV 36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” 40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence. 44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” 45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.
