The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstall. (Psa. 110:1)

God through His Spirit so speaks in the Psalmist that words not directly addressed to Christ, find their fulfillment in Him. This verse in Psa.110 is quoted by Jesus in Mark 12:36 (Matt.22:44 & Luke 20:42) to show that my Lord really pointed to a Being greater than any one that could be born of David's line.

He did not thereby deny His Davidic descent according to the flesh through His Mother, as often had been thought, but argued (meeting the Jews on their own ground) that something higher than Davidic descent was involved.

The Genealogy in Matthew shows the line of David came down through Joseph. But Joseph was not a Blood Relation and Our Lord would have come into the Davidic Line by adoption. But He came into the House of David through His Mother's descent.

There is something more than Davidic shown (Mark 14:62; Matt. 26:64 & Luke 22:69), in His allusion to Dan. 7:13, to which He adds the still higher thought from the Psalm, 'seated at the right hand of God.' His Messiahship was not only more than Davidic, it was more than that of the heavenly Man of Daniel's vision. The words are quoted also by St. Peter in Acts 2:34f; with reference to Christ's exaltation to heaven; and in Heb. 1:13, to contrast words said to Christ the Supreme, with words said to the angels.

The subduing of enemies under His feet is also mentioned in 1 Cor: 15:25-27, there is also a suggestive coupling with Psa.8:6; and also Heb. 10:12. On Palm Sunday the Church remembers Our Lord's Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem and greeted like a King. The people of the day were looking for a Warrior King to rid the land of the Romans. Their concept of the Messiah was completely wrong. If they had studied the Messianic Prophecies properly they would have seen that Our Lord Jesus Christ was the fulfillment of these prophecies. To Thee be glory and praise; now and ever, unto Ages of Ages.
