In Psalm 110, King David prayed to Yahweh and Messiah; King David saw the revelation that Messiah is in Yahweh, and Messiah is High Priest and High King.
Psalms 110:1-7 TPT
Yahweh said to my Lord, the Messiah: "Sit with me as enthroned ruler while I subdue your every enemy. They will bow low before you as I make them a footstool for your feet." Messiah, I know God himself will establish your kingdom as you reign in Zion-glory. For he says to you, "Rule in the midst of your enemies!" Your people will be your love offerings. In the day of your mighty power you will be exalted, and in the brightness of your holy ones you will shine as an army arising from the womb of the dawn, anointed with the dew of your youth! Yahweh has taken a solemn oath and will never back away from it, saying, "You are a priest for eternity, my King of righteousness!" The Lord stands in full authority to shatter to pieces the kings who stand against you on the day he displays his terrible wrath. He will judge every rebellious nation, filling their battlefield with corpses, and will shatter the strongholds of ruling powers. Yet he himself will drink from his inheritance as from a flowing brook; refreshed by love he will stand victorious!
After the religious leaders and experts of the law tried to trap Jesus with arguments, Jesus quoted Psalm 110 to show that Messiah is both God and man:
Luke 20:41-44 TPT
Jesus then posed this question to the people: "How can the experts of the law say that Christ the Messiah is David's son? Haven't you read in the Psalms where David himself wrote: The Lord Jehovah said to my Lord, 'Sit near me in the place of authority until I subdue all your enemies under Your feet!' " Jesus explained, "If David calls this one 'my Lord,' how can he merely be his son?"
On the walk to Emmaus after Jesus was resurrected from death, Jesus explained that Messiah was the perfect sacrifice, revealed in the Scriptures:
Luke 24:25-27 TPT
Jesus said to them, "Why are you so thick-headed? Why do you find it so hard to believe every word the prophets have spoken? Wasn't it necessary for Christ, the Messiah, to experience all these sufferings and then afterward to enter into his glory?" Then he carefully unveiled to them the revelation of himself throughout the Scripture. He started from the beginning and explained the writings of Moses and all the prophets, showing how they wrote of him and revealed the truth about himself.
Father, your way of rescuing us from sin and death is amazing! Jesus, you are Messiah and Yahweh, High Priest and High King, and the perfect sacrifice to redeem all humans to close fellowship with Father. Holy Spirit, you are so humble and gentle, and you point everyone to Jesus and Father. Yahweh Trinity, I love you.
