I have much I would like to say about this most important psalm, but in these days as I continue to focus on keeping everything from falling out of my brain before my oral exams (assuming I passed the writtens), I will limit myself to just one quote from Derek Kidner that I think is very helpful. It follows a statement that David must be acknowledged as the author of Psalm 110.
For while other psalms share with this one the exalted language which points beyond the reigning king to the Messiah, here alone the king himself does homage to this personage—thereby settling two important questions: whether the perfect king was someone to come, or simply the present ruler idealized; and whether the one to come would be merely man at his best, or more than this (Psalms 73-150, p. 392).
Yes and yes.
It’s my opinion that a faulty interpretation of Psalm 110 has led to many errors in the interpretation of the Old Testament and New Testament.
Absolutely! teaching through Hebrews again reminds us of the extreme importance of this Psalm…
Hi Todd! I remember reading that you were going to find out the test results on March 21st (Monday) and was just wondering if that happened. Maybe you don’t want to post about it but I wanted you to know I was thinking about you and hoping it was great, encouraging news. Blessings to you all!
Ashley – you’re right that I would hardly want to post a big announcement about my failure. They are supposed to give me my results within 2 weeks but as of now I have not heard anything.
