Unseen Realm 16: Psalms Cosmic Drama

The Psalms declare God's universal sovereignty, revealing His active rule over all creation. This is exemplified in Psalm 110:1, which states, "The LORD says to my Lord: Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool." This verse powerfully portrays the divine authority and ultimate victory of one whom God has exalted.
This declaration of divine kingship is not merely a distant concept but has profound implications for understanding the reign and priesthood of Jesus. The New Testament frequently draws upon Psalm 110 to articulate Jesus's current status and role. The enthronement described in Psalm 110, alongside the priestly references, undergirds the New Testament's presentation of Jesus as the Messiah who is greater than David. The Messiah reigns at God's right hand and functions perpetually as a high priest, as also referenced in Psalm 2:7-12, "You are my Son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage..." and Psalm 47:7-9, "God is the King of all the earth... The princes of the peoples gather as the people of the God of Abraham."
Understanding these psalms means recognizing that Jesus is not awaiting a future appointment to kingship; He presently reigns. He is seated at God's right hand, exercising His divine authority and continually interceding for His people as a priest forever. This truth offers immense comfort and assurance, knowing that the resurrected Messiah is actively sovereign, mediating on your behalf, and will ultimately subdue all opposition.
