Part 2 of an exposition of Psalm 110.

Psalm 110shows that the one “at the right hand” of God not only has been given the authority to rule as YHVH’s designated King Messiah, but is also appointed by YHVH as Priest Messiah. The high priest mediates between humans and God. The author of Hebrews emphasizes the mediatorial role of Yeshua the Messiah who as our high priest has gone into the presence of God, being at the righthand of God, as our mediator (Heb. 1:3, 1:13, 8:1, 10:12, 12:2). The author of Hebrews hardly mentions that Jesus is the designated King Messiah, but emphasizes that Jesus is the Priest Messiah who mediates for us in the presence ofGod. Paul agrees. The one mediator between God and man is the man Christ Jesus, not a God or a god-man (1 Tim. 2:4-6).

In this way,Jesus is David’s Lord not only because Jesus is David’s king, but also becauseJesus is David’s mediating priest who enables David, eventually, to come beforeGod (cf. John 14:6).
