The promised Child was both human and divine. He would reign forever on the throne of David, something that God Himself promised to accomplish.
In writing this psalm David speaks of ‘my Lord’, someone greater than himself. Jesus was a descendant of David, yet his pre-existent LORD.
The apostle John omits any reference to the human descent of Jesus and begins his Gospel account with a bold and clear declaration of the deity of Jesus (John 1:1).
The divine and eternal Messiah existed before the earth and man were created. The LORD God’s Anointed preceded all written prophecies and any recorded genealogies.
