Did David say that god will ask Jesus to sit at his right hand? ~ Cross reference of Matthew 22:44, Hebrews 1:13 to Psalm 110:1


Matthew cross references Psalm 110:1 to say that David prophesied that god will ask Jesus to sit at god's right hand till he makes all Jesus's enemies his footstool.

Let us see what Psalm 110:1 is all about and see if David actually made this prophecy.

This post is not intended to offend anyone's faith but for those people who are Seeking the truth of THE ONE TRUE G-D of the universe to who we owe all our love, gratitude & devotion.

My encouragement to you is that you read the whole chapter of Tanakh that the Greek text quotes so you get the context and understand what G-d actually said.

G-d Bless and Seek THE Truth.

Matthew 22:44 “‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.”’

Psalm 110:1 Of David a psalm. The word of the Lord to my master; "Wait for My right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool at your feet."
  • This is a Psalm written by David. If you read Psalm 110 you will see why David did not call Jesus lord. Unless you read Jesus into this Psalm, this Psalm is about David and G-d.
  • David is saying that his G-d told him to sit at G-d's right hand until G-d makes his enemies his footstool.
  • The second lord used in this verse is Adoni which means a human master and not any heavenly being. I have seen some versions of the Greek text put the Tetragrammaton in both the first and second lord which is very wrong.
  • All these points show that this passage does not support Matthew's assertion of Jesus's place at the right hand of god was established in Tanakh.
  • All the below verses use the word Adoni which refers to a human being.
    • Genesis 24:34
    • Genesis 32:5, 6, 19
    • Genesis 33:8, 12, 14, 15
    • 1 Sam 24:8
    • 1 Kings 1:2, 17Daniel 7
  • All that said, let us see a few verses that clearly show why this Psalm is not about Jesus
    • Psalm 110:2 The staff of your might the Lord will send from Zion; rule in the midst of your enemies. - David ruled out of Zion from here David subdued all his enemies. Jesus never ruled anyone.
    • Psalm 110:5 The Lord, on your right hand, has crushed kings on the day of His wrath. - David crushed all his enemies and G-d gave him peace during his last days. Jesus was killed after 3 years of teaching and healing people
    • Psalm 110:6 He will execute justice upon the nations [into] a heap of corpses; He crushed the head on a great land. - David is considered a Just king who made sure there was justice in the land. Not sure what justice Jesus did when he was alive

Is the law not based on Faith? ~ Cross reference of Galatians 3:12 to Leviticus 18:5

Image
Paul makes a very wrong statement that the law is not based on faith. I believe his view is that anyone who keeps the law expects that G-d will bless them even if they don't believe, love, fear G-d.  This is a lie. There are several passages in Tanakh that talk about the blessings that G-d will give those who love him and keep his commands. The teaching of Tanakh is very consistent that one needs to have faith in G-d and show that faith my living to the standards of G-d's laws. All Images are links to Google Images.
