... in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen. Through the prayers of our
holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us. Amen. Glory
to You, our God, Glory to You.
O Heavenly King,
the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, You are everywhere and fill all things,
Treasury of blessings, and Giver of life: come and abide in us, and cleanse us
from every impurity, and save our souls, O Good One.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy
Immortal, have mercy on us (three times).
Glory be to the
Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it is now, was in the
beginning, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Psalm 110:1-7[1]
A Psalm of David.
A proclamation of The Lord to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your
footstool.” The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength from Zion. Rule in the heart of Your enemies.
Your people [shall be] willing in the day of Your power, in the beauties of
holiness from the womb of the morning.
You have the dew of Your youth.[2] The Lord has sworn,
and will not repent. You [are] a priest forever after the order of
Melchizedek.[3]
The Lord at Your right hand shall strike through
kings in the day of His fury. He shall
judge among the heathen. He shall fill [the places] with the dead bodies. He shall wound the heads over many
countries. He shall drink of the brook
in the way. Therefore He shall lift up the
head.[4]
[1] This
may be the most frequently quoted Psalm in the New Testament: Matthew 22:44;
Mark 12:16; Luke 20:43; Acts 2:35; Hebrews 6:20; 7:1-28; 8:1-5. Hebrews shows how this Psalm is prophetic of
Jesus, by giving us the detailed meaning of the Psalm. The promises of Psalm 2 are also fulfilled in
this Psalm. The judgment speaks of the
course of history since 33 AD, as man continues to war against God. The brook shows us the close relationship
that Jesus and the Holy Spirit have through the Father. This relationship extends to The Church, the
body of Christ, as she continues to lift up her Head. He, Jesus lifts up His head (Himself) through
the Holy Spirits work in and through The Church.
[2]
Jesus was 37 years old when He was crucified, resurrected, ascended to heaven,
and took His seat on David’s throne in heaven (Acts 2:29-33). This phrase could simply mean that
Theanthropos or Theandros (God-man) reigns with the appearance and full vigor
of a 37 year-old man: mature in wisdom, youthful in strength; the perfect man. If this is indeed true, then quite possibly,
we will be raised in like wisdom and vitality: since He is our Head, and we are
His body; since He is our Groom, and we are His bride; since He is our God, and
we are His Temple.
