The Messiah, King, Priest And Judge

 "YAHWEH said to my LORD,
'Sit at MY right hand
till I make YOUR foes YOUR footstool.'

From Zion YAHWEH will extend YOUR mighty scepter,
and YOU will rule in the midst of YOUR enemies.

YOURS is royal dignity
from the day YOU were born in holy majesty.
Like dew from the womb of the dawn,
I have begotten YOU."
- Psalm 110:1. 2. 3. 4


(Sometimes we feel trapped, as if in prison, by the problems of life.  This psalm is like a flash of lightning illuminating the prison and showing us an unexpected escape towards heaven.  In spite of some obscure expressions, the overall meaning is clear: from Zion will come, the one who will be victorious over all the hostile powers.  The struggle will be hard, but GOD will finally ask HIM to sit at HIS right; and all will be subject to HIM.  Our LORD is the Son of GOD.)
