‏ Psalms 110:5

The Warrior

Then the day of His wrath is announced (Psa 110:5). “The Lord”, that is Christ, “is at Your right hand”, that is the right hand of Yahweh, the place of honor Yahweh has given Him according to Psa 110:1 (Heb 8:1; Heb 10:12). When the day of His wrath comes (cf. Rev 6:17), Christ will shatter kings (Rev 16:16; Rev 19:13-15; Joel 3:2; 11-14).

It is the LORD, Yahweh, Who makes the enemies a footstool of Christ (Psa 110:1) and at the same time Christ Himself will shatter the hostile kings (Psa 110:5). He is the Stone that will appear without the intervention of human hands to shatter the image of man, the world’s ruling power. When He establishes His kingdom, it will mean the end of all worldly kingdoms (Dan 2:44). The day of His wrath is the day of the LORD. It is another indication that the Lord Jesus, Adonai, is none other than Yahweh Himself.

When the Lord Jesus comes to the earth for the second time, He will judge “among the nations” (Psa 110:6). God has given Him that power because He is the Son of Man (Jn 5:22; 27). He will sit on the throne of His glory and execute judgment on the nations (Mt 25:31-32). With the sword that comes from His mouth, He will kill His enemies and “fill” the battlefield “with corpses” (Isa 66:16; Zep 1:17-18; Eze 35:8; Rev 19:17).

By “the chief men over a broad country” we can think of the crushing of Gog, the prince of God-hating Great Russia (Eze 39:11-12). This wicked power is the last rebellious power to be judged. After this, the realm of peace is established in all its glory and then there will be perfect harmony on earth, without any threat of organized revolt. Christ reigns.
