For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
David himself was speaking through the Holy Spirit when he said, 'The Lord said to my Lord, take your place at my right hand until I put all your enemies under your feet.'
Even King David recognized there was someone greater than him coming, and that someone has the ultimate seat of power.
📚 Historical Context
In the historical context, Jesus is teaching in the temple during his final days in Jerusalem, as recorded in the Gospel of Mark, where he engages with religious leaders about the identity of the Messiah. He quotes from Psalm 110, a psalm attributed to David and inspired by the Holy Spirit, to show that the Messiah is not merely a human descendant of David but also his divine Lord. This highlights the tension between Jesus' claims and the expectations of first-century Jewish leaders regarding the Scriptures.
