"TheLordsaid unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." (v.1)
Re.Matt.22:43-44. This is a Messianic prophecy looking to the day od regeneration. "And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."(Matt.19:28) The writer to the Hebrews has touched upon the significance of 'my right hand', "when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." Ministry of Jesus did not end with the earth; nor with the lower parts. At present "and upholding all things by the word of his power," tells us truth shall judge the present day wickedness' and the word of his power will not let off the wicked . His grace also is equally at work for those who are true worshipers.
Jesus revealed what his ministry consisted of, "I go to prepare a place for you./And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." ( John 14:2-3)
"Thy footstool",
Compare with the Isaiah quote, "Thus saith theLord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool." (Is.66:1a) The day decreed for his Son covers also the day of regeneration.
"TheLordshall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies." (v.2)
The rod of iron serves two purposes. It is for smashing the nations. The heathen in particular. "Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. (Ps.2:9) secondly it is for "and he shall rule them with a rod of iron."(Re.19:15)
'In the midst of enemies' refer to the nations on the earth formerly designated as the outer darkness,
