Read Psalm 110.
Amazing! Just imagine, David was allowed to overhear a conversation in heaven among the Godhead. Literally, verse 1 states, "Jehovah said to Adonai," "my LORD said to my Lord," or "God, the Father, said to God, the Son."
The psalmist was reassured by revelation of the Holy Spirit that the Messiah would one day come to judge and rule over all the nations on earth.
A few hundreds of years later, Isaiah famously prophesied concerning the Messiah, "the government shall be upon his shoulders...of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom..." (Isaiah 9-6-7)
In Mark 12:36, Jesus quoted Psalm 110 and quizzed religious leaders concerning the eternal nature of the Messiah.
Peter quoted this Psalm and used it to proclaim that Jesus is both Lord and the Messiah.
Hebrews chapter 1 quotes Psalm 45 to declare Jesus is God and includes Psalm 110:1.
Jesus now serves as our eternal High Priest. But when Jesus returns He will be the conquering King of kings and Lord of lords so vividly described in Revelation 17. All believers will rule and reign with Him. "Your people will offer themselves freely on the day of your power..."(v.3)
We will join those loud voices of heaven in singing the Hallelujah chorus that Handel could only imagine.
"The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever. (Revelation 11:15)
