… Psalm 110 is inspired by the spirit. Calls him Lord, saying, the Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet. if David calls him Lord how is he his son and the Pharisees are stumped. Matthew says, and no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare ask him any more questions. The missing piece for us on why this is a stumper for the Pharisees is the assumption in the ancient world that a father is greater, by definition, than his son. Father sires sons. Father comes first and produces sons. So the older generation is, in that sense, greater than the younger generation. go at once. Yet what Jesus points out is that David here in Psalm 110 is speaking about his own offspring. Because he's king. But he calls him Lord. He says, my Lord. The Lord, God, Yahweh, says to my Lord.

This Jesus whom you crucified. you crucified him Peter says God has crowned him he is Lord and Christ Jesus spoke about himself before the council just before he was crucified he said to the Jewish council you will see the son of man seated with power at the right hand Paul speaks about this in Romans 8.34 and other places. …
… David himself declared, and now here he quotes from our text. The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet. Now you see there, the Lord said to my Lord. It's the Greek word kurios, like Kyrie eleison from the liturgy. Kyrie means Lord. Lord, have mercy. You can see Lord, Lord, same word. But if you recall from looking at Psalm 110 just a moment ago, and if you have a finger there, you can turn back because you see in the Hebrew, you notice that the two uses of Lord look different. and hopefully you've seen this before the lord i'm looking at psalm 10 verse 1 says to my lord the first lord there is in those small capital letters and when you see that in the old testament that's the divine name what people used to transliterate as jehovah now people usually say yahweh that's That's the divine name. The second Lord there is the word Adonai. …
