SAB Contradiction 427<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Intro<\/strong>
\n\tMany people knew the Psalms of David as they were sung in synagogues, in the temple and when people traveled to Jerusalem as pilgrims. One knew that the coming Messiah would be a Son of David. Did Jesus confirm this?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Two names<\/strong>
\n\tJesus quoted in Matthew 22:42-45 (above) a song of David and this quote, Psalm 110:1, opens rather strangely:
\n\t “The LORD said to my Lord …”<\/em>
\n\tThe holy<\/em> name for God is JHVH (JAHWÈ) translated as LORD<\/em> and the second <\/em>name for God is ADONAI translated as my Lord<\/em>. David used the two names with reference to God as so often in the Bible, however the names are applied here to two divine persons and not one. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
The Messiah<\/strong>
\n\tIn Psalm 110 something unusual occurs:
\n\t “The LORD (JHVH) said to my Lord (ADONAI) …”<\/em>
\n\tHere God is speaking to the Messiah of Israel. In the quote of Psalm 110:1 in Matthew 22:42-43 Jesus used the name “my Lord” as referring to the Messiah, whom David called “my Lord”, his Descendant who once would reign over Israel and the world.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Tongue-tied<\/strong>
\n\tCertainly the scribes and Pharisees were acquainted with the general Jewish teaching that the Messiah was a Son of David. There is no question about that and they were expecting a new great King like David with a throne and an army and a Kingdom of victory for the Jewish nation. But Jesus had a different perspective: How could God call the Messiah <\/em>“<\/em>my Lord<\/em>”<\/em>, using the second name of God? <\/em>They were absolutely tongue-tied. For Jesus the answer was so simple: The Messiah would be Man and<\/em> God, a Son of David and<\/em> a Son of God!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Conclusion <\/strong>
\n\tThere is nothing strange in the fact that Jesus used the Hebrew Bible to show that He was more than man, more than a Son of David. He, the Messiah, was also ADONAI, “my Lord”, more than a Son of David. He was also ADONAI, “my Lord”, Son of God! Jesus refers to his miraculous birth of divine origin.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
