LESSON 2 * PART 3 * BOOK 46
Hebrews 1:10 - 2:4
Absolutely! So let’s come in at Hebrews chapter 1, and verse 13 again.
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. Psalms 110:1
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."
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?" That Psalms was speaking of the very Godhead, and David had nothing to do with bringing that about except through the flesh. Mark 12:35a
"And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple,…"
So here again, where is Jesus dealing with these Pharisees? In the Temple. Now reading the verse again.
36. For David himself said by the Holy Ghost…."
Well that word ‘inspired’ is probably better translated, "God breathed." The Holy Spirit, and then the Lord Himself gives credit, that even David wrote as the Holy Spirit prompted him to write. Mark 12:36
"For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 37. David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly."
Mark 12:38-39
The Son! Now the next Scripture we’ll look at will be in Luke chapter 20, and let’s just drop in at verse 39.
"Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. How say they that Christ is David’s son? 42. And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, the LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 43. Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 44. David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? 45. Then in the audience of all the people (of Israel) he said unto his disciples, 46. Let’s pick this up in verse 25. Now verse 25.
"For David speaketh concerning him, (Christ from the Old Testament Psalms) I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: 26. Now in verse 27, David is making a direct reference to Christ’s burial and resurrection) 27. Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day."
Now verse 30.
Most people don’t think of David and the Psalms being prophecy. Now verse 30 again.
Acts 2:30
In those three years of Christ’s earthly ministry, did Jesus ever sit on David’s throne? Now let’s move on into verse 31.
"This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. (in other words the coming of the Holy Spirit) 34. For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand. 35. Until I make thy foes thy footstool."
Well, first and foremost, it emphases the fact that Christ has finished the work of redemption in that everything that needS to be done to purchase man’s Salvation was finished. It’s just an invisible kingdom and all that nonsense, and it bugs me to hear people speak of that glorious kingdom that’s coming in that light. Now let’s be careful. Who are His enemies? We’re talking about good people, dressed in their finery, and even the attitude of so many church people.
Too many times people go to church because it’s expected of them. There’s no love for the Lord, there’s no love for this Book, and the reason?, "They’re Lost!" Well, if they’re unsaved church members, what are they? They’re are enemies of our Lord. So get it straight, lost people are the enemies of God whether they realize it or not. So let’s read from Romans 6, and drop in at verse 5.
Romans 8:5-7a
Because the carnal mind (the unsaved person) is enmity against God;…"
So they’re the enemies of God. Oh, they may not be active enemies, they may instead be passive, but the Scripture still puts them in that category as enemies of God. Romans 8:7b
