Psalm 110 and the mysterious Melchizedek introduced us to the idea that humanity needs more than a king. We need a king to crush the snake and end the ancient conflict of the garden, but we also need a priest who can atone for our sins and mediate God’s blessing to us. The prophecy of Psalm 110 guarantees both in the person of the Messiah, who is a king from the line of David and a priest from the order of Melchizedek, rather than the failed order of the Levites.
Psalm 110 places this King-Priest on the throne of Heaven where he waits for the “day of his power” when he will subdue all his enemies and usher in the new and better Eden. But while he waits, there is time for those enemies to turn, “kiss the King” and exchange their curse for his blessing.
