The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah • Appendix IX
Verses 8, 11, 13 Messianically interpreted in Pirque de R. El.
Enemies Made a Footstool
David heard God address his Lord: 'Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool.' Hebrews applies this directly to Christ — the risen King enthroned at God's right hand while His enemies are subdued beneath Him.
Old Testament
Psalm 110:1
The LORD says to my lord: 'Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.'
New Testament
Hebrews 1:13
Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.
Why This Matters
David heard God address his Lord: 'Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool.' Hebrews applies this directly to Christ — the risen King enthroned at God's right hand while His enemies are subdued beneath Him.
Reflection
Lord, the kingdom You promised in Psalm 110:1 is breaking in through Hebrews 1:13. Make me a faithful citizen of that kingdom today.
