Have you ever prayed and said, “God, I just want You to speak to me?” Often, we wait, looking up to the sky for a sign. When nothing happens, we may walk away thinking God must be busy, or worse, we might misinterpret something as ordinary as a drifting cloud and assume it’s a sign from Him. But the truth is, God is speaking today, and He speaks clearly, primarily through His written Word.
One powerful example of this is found here in Psalm 110:1: “The LORD says to my Lord: ‘Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.’” This verse reveals a divine conversation between God the Father (Yahweh) and God the Son (the Messiah). It points to the exaltation of Jesus, who will one day reign physically as King in Jerusalem. His kingship will be everlasting, fulfilling the promise recorded in 2 Samuel 7:13.
As we’ve taught before, the phrase “The LORD says to my Lord” uses two different Hebrew words for “lord”:
1. YHWH (Yahweh), is God’s covenant name, revealed to Moses as “I AM.”
2. Adoni, means “lord” or “master.”
David, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, wrote, “Yahweh says to my Adoni…”[a prophetic reference to the coming Messiah].
The New Testament confirmed this truth: Jesus is God. The writer of Hebrews clearly affirmed the divinity of Christ. Additionally, Jesus Himself referenced this very passage to confront and silence the Pharisees. He asked, “How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls Him ‘Lord’?” (Matthew 22:43). By merging these Scriptures, Jesus was declared that He is Adonai, the divine Messiah. Matthew 22:34–46; Mark 12:35–37; Luke 20:41–44; Hebrews 1:8–13
Moreover, God made an unbreakable oath that Jesus is both High Priest and King forever, according to the order of Melchizedek. Genesis 14; Hebrews 4:14–16; 7
Jesus is the eternal mediator between God and man, the final authority, and the soon-returning King who will establish His physical kingdom on Earth. Revelation 19:16
