What does Psalm 110:6 mean?

David has overheard God the Father telling God the Son about His position of power and authority (Psalm 110:1). As part of that rule, Jesus, the Son, will return to earth to bring judgment (Psalm 110:5; 2 Peter 3:10; Revelation 6:17). The early stage of this judgment will involve widespread death among those who oppose God's authority (Romans 1:18; Revelation 19:11–15).

Jesus was referred to as sitting at the right hand of God (Psalm 110:1, 5). This power is contrasted with the "shattering" of worldly leaders. None will have any opportunity to resist. Revelation chapter 13 identifies two prominent end-time figures who embody unrighteousness and ungodliness. They are the beast, a political chief, and the false prophet, a religious chief. They violate the truth by opposing God and His people. They defile the temple and put an end to the Jewish sacrifices and offerings (Daniel 9:27). But they and their followers will perish under the Messiah's hand (2 Thessalonians 2:1–2; Revelation 14:17–20). Although God offers a way of salvation today, He will execute His wrath someday on all who reject His Son as Savior, those whose names are not found written in the Lamb's book of life (2 Peter 3:8–13; Revelation 20:11–15).
