Hebrews 1:13

"But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until (now that's the key word) I make thine enemies thy footstool?"


Now let's go back and chase that verse down, and it begins of course with David writing it in Psalms 110:1. This is a verse that I wish everyone would commit to memory if you haven't before, and know where it is.


Psalms 110:1

"The LORD said unto my Lord, (now I think that in just about every translation that the first LORD mention here is all capitols. The second is merely the L is capitalized, and the o-r-d is in the small case. So what you really have here is God the Father, says to God the Son) Sit thou at my right hand, (He's not going there for all eternity, but rather just for a period of time) until I make thine enemies thy footstool."


I think the enemies here include all the satanic host, as well as all of Christ's rejecting humanity - they are going to be finally under His foot. He's going to have complete domination. Now let's move from here up to Matthew chapter 22, and drop down to verse 44. This is Christ in His earthly ministry, He uses this verse in Psalms Himself. But to pick up the flow of these verses let's begin at verse 41.


Matthew 22:41-46

"While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42. Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. 43. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit (that is by inspiration of the Holy Spirit) call him Lord, saying, 44. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45. If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?" (now look at the next verse) 46. And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions."


They were absolutely stumped! Well what should they have known? That He was the Son of God. But by virtue of the promises made to David that He would come through the lineage of David, yes, the Scripture does speak of Him as the Son of David. But you see, that's not what Psalms 110:1 was speaking of. That Psalms was speaking of the very Godhead, and David had nothing to do with bringing that about except through the flesh. Now let's look at the next one which is in Mark chapter 12
