Q2. (Psalm 110) Why do you think that Jesus asked the Pharisees about verse 1, "If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?" What point was Jesus making? How does Jesus combine the roles of Warrior-King and Priest in his ministry to us and to this world? How do you reconcile the violence suggested in verses 5-6 with Jesus as "Prince of Peace"?

He was making the point that they are the one and the same.

He will be a warrior-King on the day of judgment right now he is ouir priest between us and God.

There will be peace when we all come to the Lord after judgment time.

Q2. (Psalm 110) Why do you think that Jesus asked the Pharisees about verse 1, "If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?

To stop the Pharisees from thinking of Him in human terms. The Jews were expecting the Messiah to be a conquering hero, sitting on a throne.

"What point was Jesus making?

That He is the Son of God and His Kingdom is not of this world.

How does Jesus combine the roles of Warrior-King and Priest in his ministry to us and to this world?

By breaking down the barrier that existed between us and God.

How do you reconcile the violence suggested in verses 5-6 with Jesus as "Prince of Peace"?

Everyone has the choice to either choose Jesus or reject Him. If we reject Him we face His Wrath and Judgment. He gives us the choice. :rolleyes:

Why do you think that Jesus asked the Pharisees about verse 1, "If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?"

The scribes had always taught that the Messiah would be a descendant of David. As David's Lord, He would be divine, as David's son, He would be human.

What point was Jesus making?

Jesus used verse 1 in an attempt to get the Pharisees to see that He as the Messiah was to be David's Lord, not merely a descendant.

How does Jesus combine the roles of Warrior-King and Priest in his ministry to us and to this world?

We as God's children will have an eternal High Priest. Jesus as uncorrupted kingship and spiritual priesthood would refresh and reinvigorate us by the ministry of the Spirit.

The Lord Jesus is God's right hand, and He shall execute the kings in the day of His wrath.

How do you reconcile the violence suggested in verses 5-6 with Jesus as "Prince of Peace"?

God has vowed that the Messiah would be a Priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek who was both a King and a Priest. Melchizedek appointment to Priest was not an inherited one, but a solomn appointment by God. as a king of righteousness and peace.

Jesus asked the Pharisees about verse 1 because he had an awareness o Himself, who He was. He is using logic to get the Pharisees to think.

As Priest and Warrior King, He is saving souls and combating evil and sin in the world. Those who choose to be saved will be with Him and have eternal life. those who do not are among the damned.

In Luke 12:52, the Christ did say, "Suppose ye that I have come to give peace on earth? I tell you Nay, but rather division." But the Lord also said in Ezekial 18:30-32, ..."Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions, so that iniquity shall not be your ruin...For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth....wherefore turn yourselves and live ye."

Those who walk in the way of the Christ can achieve peace through Him, temporally, and eternally. Those who do not, who choose sin and death, have made their choice. Christ came and is within us to bring us to peace, if we choose Him.

I think he ask them to see if they understood that they were talking with the Lord, the Messiah, the Sovereign King. The point Jesus was making was that it was him. As a priest Jesus Christ was sympathetic, gentle, and patient with those who go astray through ignorance, unintentional sin, or weaknes.He must be appointed by God.Christ qualified in both ways. Because of our salvation through Christ, he is our high priest opening a way to His personal pdresence where by we can always seek the help we need. As Prince of Peace, Christ is coming to the earth as a warrior to defeat and judge all those who oppose God's kingdom and His righteousness. He will bring peace.

Because the Pharisees was looking for someone more popular than Jesus not a carpenter son, but someone in they eyes as a powerful rich person that was not born as a man. Jesus is telling us that we don't need to focus on the outer appearance but listen and be teachable we never now who are what God will use to bring a word and a work in us for His Kingdom to be glorified. Jesus was powerful and peaceful all in one. He did the will of His Father but also walk with all the fruit of the spirit. He defeated the enemy and gave us peace at the same time.

Jesus came in the flesh as a descendent of David.

When this happened, David was dead for a very long time - so humanly spoken Jesus can't be David's king.

Jesus is also God - who was, is, will be forever.

This way, He can be David's Lord.

Melchisedek was a king but also a priest.

Jesus is a warrior-king because He will settle His kingdom because of which He will have to destroy all evil.

"Si vis pacis, para bellum"

We have peace with many countries because we can destroy eachother any time with the bomb or something like that.

He has to fight the devil before we can have eaternal peace.

To get them to think about him, Jesus, as someone much greater, and outside the "paradigm" of time and dimension of what the the Jews thought of Jesus, and believed about Him.

How does Jesus combine the roles of Warrior-King and Priest in his ministry to us and to this world?

ANS - He will rule and reign over us and we are to make Him Lord of our lives. But He is also our savior and high priest, cleansing us from all sin.

How do you reconcile the violence suggested in verses 5-6 with Jesus as "Prince of Peace"?

ANS - He must first bring judgement, in order to bring ultimate peace upon this earth.

Jesus was trying to make themselves figure it out that Jesus was and is the messiah. The one prophesied by many that would be the son of God. If he was born after David, being descendants of David, however David himself called Jesus Lord.... What did that make him. The son of God.

With the authority that Jesus carried, he is the head of the army and pursuing the enemies with his scepter. However in order for us to join him without fear, shame, guilt, rejection....etc. he had to also act like a priest, to bring us to God.

Like God, Jesus also has many characteristics. Being the mighty warrior and prince of peace are just some of the many presence he brings. Jesus is the Prince of Peace clothing us with garments of honor and majesty as well as fighting for us against the enemy. God has grace, and is extending it to everyone, but if you aren't gonna give him a chance in your life, then you have chosen your path and when judgment day comes you will be judged.

says in the bible.

The Pharisees couldn't see past the human form of Jesus, they refused to see His divinity because of the threat it meant to the status quo that they had become quite content with. It was clear from scriptures that the Messiah was to come from the lineage of Abraham through King David, both fully humans, so they expected the messiah to be fully and only human. The pharisees were no doubt trying to lay a trap for Jesus because to their way of thinking, the son of a God would be a god himself. Nowhere in their training had they ever conceived of their God taking on the human form to walk among them, teach them, take on their sins, and become a blood sacrifice. They had limited their messianic expectations.

Jesus came to meet and defeat sin, just as a warrior does not shrink back from the enemy. As a priest without blemish, Jesus has taken our sin, offered himself as a sacrifice and approaches the the Father to restore our relationship with the Creator.

Vengeance is mine saith the Lord (Rom. 12:19). I guess that means that He's in charge of it. To be in charge of it, then he must me capable of it. We are called to become peacemakers and leave vengeance in His capable hands.

Jesus wanted the pharisees to see their error on calculation about who the messiah was. He wanted to challenge their thinking on this topic and make them think rather than telling them.

The point He made was that yes, physically He is a descendant of David, but if you look at His spiritual being He is something far greater than we can imagine.

He is a warrior, fighting for us and with us in the battle against satan. He is the King, whilst being a warrior, as He rules over all things. He also is the head over the church. Even though these things are different, He is all in one, making Him ultimate and amazing.

We need to understand that if we choose Him, we have life and peace found in Him-even though things may be hard because He is our rock, our fortress. At the same time this peaceful God has a 'violent punishment for all those who do not choose Him because when we choose God, Jesus' perfect blood covers our hearts so God does not see our sin. Whereas those that do not have Jesus, God sees their sin and cannot be near them. hell is the only place where God's presence isn't.

Jesus said this because the pharisees always had a answer for everything and this time he wanted them to think he was a decention of daivd that means he was from his lineage He wasd not his son. the pharisees donot understand this.

When Jesus make you a warrior and a priest you are this for life because he donot change his mind man is the one that change the mind.

This to me is the things that he will do for his priest and warriors he is at our right hand ready to do war for us.

Because they knew the word of God and he wanted to stir up a question within there minds. that here understanding was incorrect and He was trying to teach them the truth.

He is my mediator with God and my defender against this world.

Death and destruction is all that's left if there is no repentance and acceptance of Jesus as Savior.

Jesus was pointing to the divinity of Christ. I was trying to correct error and insert truth in their thinking. David who they loved much as their earthly king esteemed Christ as Lord and called him such. David recognized the divinity of Christ. Jesus will fight our battles as our Warrior-King and he is available to intercede on our behalf as our priest. God has offered us all and opportunity to accept Jesus. No one comes to the Father except but by the Son. Those who choose to live outside of God's will, through Christ, will face dire consequences.

Q2. (Psalm 110)

Why do you think that Jesus asked the Pharisees about verse 1, "If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?"

Jesus asked them what they believed concerning the identity of the Messiah and from whom would He be descended? They answered partially correctly that He would be the Son of David. But Jesus showed them that according to our Psalm 110 the Messiah would also be David's Lord. They could not understand how He could be David's Son and David's Lord at the same time? And how could David, the king, have someone who was his Lord on earth? Remembering they only saw the coming Messiah in human terms.

What point was Jesus making?

Jesus was making the point that the Messiah would be both God and Man. As God, He would be David's Lord. As Man, He would be David's Son. And Jesus Himself, combining in His Person both deity and humanity, was David's Master and David's Son. Even after Jesus had fully explained this to them they still were unwilling to acknowledge Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah.

How does Jesus combine the roles of Warrior-King and Priest in his ministry to us and to this world?

We see Jesus as the King, the eternal Priest, and the future Judge of the earth. As King, we should submit to His Lordship willingly. As Priest, He is the mediator, the go-between us and God. He has secured once and for all, forgiveness for our sins. He has also given us access to the Father

The Pharisees did not wish to see Jesus as the Messiah, but Jesus was making the point that He was the Messiah and Lord of All that David prophesied about. As Warrior-King and Priest, Jesus has come to judge God's enemies while also interceding for His children to make them successes in the Kingdom. While the final battle will be very violent, the ultimate result will be peace in the world. He is the "Prince of Peace."

Q2. (Psalm 110) Why do you think that Jesus asked the Pharisees about verse 1, "If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?"

I think He asked because this reference is irrefutably to the Messiah and they couldn't / wouldn't accept that this local "man" Jesus, the son of Mary and Joseph was He. They spent most of their time trying to discredit Him, challenge His claims, ignore and punish His miracles as being from the devil, and to get rid of Him. They were expecting a mighty military Messiah who would come and deliver them from the oppressive rule they were under....and whom would allow them to keep their esteemed positions of authority.....this Jesus was just too humble, too "ordinary", too "simple" for who they were expecting the Messiah to be, and besides He challenged their hypocrisy, their "blindness", their pride and arrogance....So this question was another challenge to their hardened hearts...He was exposing their spiritual blindness to themselves.

What point was Jesus making?

He was telling them that He is their Messiah! They need look no further, for "I AM" was standing before them in their midst.

How does Jesus combine the roles of Warrior-King and Priest in his ministry to us and to this world?

To His Church, He is Warrior and Champion, moving her forward and her great High Priest.

To His individual children, He is Warrior and champion in our daily battles against our foes. He's the King of the Kingdom we live in. He's our High Priest who ministers to us!

In the world He is King of all creation (though only recognized as such by believers, but soon to be known by all!) He is the Warrior Who will fight the final battle against evil and as Priest will judge the world and those who have rejected Him.

How do you reconcile the violence suggested in verses 5-6 with Jesus as "Prince of Peace"?

He came to earth to bring peace to all who will receive His sacrifice for their sins. He is the Prince of Peace who reigns in the lives of His Children. However, to those who reject His offer of Salvation, and all it's benefits, He will be Warrior to their defeat and Judge of their souls, sealing their decision to live in hell rather than in Heaven with Him.

I think that the reason that the Pharisees was asked “If then David calls him ‘Lord’ how can he be his son?” because they were all wrapped up in themselves that they though that Moses was the king of kings. They loved their laws and loved being worshiped on the streets that maybe they thought they were the king of kings.

The point that Jesus was making was that He was above David. He was David’s Lord and he bowed down to him. Jesus combined the roles of Warrior-King and Priest to us by telling us to go forth and make disciples. The way I reconcile the violence suggested in verses 5-6 with Jesus as “Prince of Peace” is that you have to get rid of the bad elements if you want to have peace.

According to the notes, the Pharisees saw the Messiah from a human point of view-a physical descendent of David, therefore making the Messiah less than David. Jesus wanted to emphasize to the Pharisees that the Messiah is greater than King David.

Jesus, at this time is exercising his role as Priest. However, the time is coming when His role will change to become a Warrior-King (Judge) of this world (Psalm 110:6, Psalm 2:12).

I believe Jesus brought up Psalm 110 because the Pharisees thought they had understanding that the Messiah would be conquering during His first coming, however His purpose and position was different.

Jesus was trying to point out who He is. I believe Jesus first coming set Him up as Priest to go before the Almighty on our behalf. He will be the warrior King at his second coming. Jesus has to conquer the evil rulers of this world to take over rule and bring peace.

God wanted them to think about Jesus and question who they thought Jesus was. That is challenge them with a puzzle.    He wanted them to think beyond wanting an earthly King and acknowledge that Jesus was His son as well as the messiah for the whole of man kind.

For vs. 5-6.   It is talking about Jesus coming back to earth and getting rid of those leaders who oppose him and interfere with people who seek to worship him.  He will vanquish those leaders who seek to mislead people that Jesus is not the ultimate messiah.  Only then can he reign over us is peace.  He does not want to destroy, but will if these leaders interfere with our coming to belief in Him.

He was challenging the Pharisees’ knowledge of this Psalm since they full well knew what this one meant and what it meant if they acknowledged the truth of it.

He calls him Son because he will be the Son of David and also calls Him Lord because He will be Son of God as well.

He was making the point that He was the king that had come to bring the kingdom of heaven on earth. That he was to be feared and glorified and magnified because He was the king spoken of in the passage. He is warrior-king in the sense that fights our battles for us and he is there for us. He is our high priest because he was at all points tempted and yet did not sin but knows what we went through at the same time. In order for there to be a Prince of Peace there has to be a resolution to all wars and fighting going as well and sometimes God has to bring an eternal end to all of it.

I believe that Jesus was trying to tell them that they had it wrong. The Messiah was not an ordinary man like David; the Messiah they were looking for was Him. God's own son. He was trying to tell them that the Messiah could not be David's son if David himself called him Lord. They thought the Messiah would be a king who would defeat Rome, not a king who would rescue them from hell.

Jesus combines the roles of priest and Warrior King by being our mediator between God and us and interceding for us. He is our Warrior-King when He will finally defeat Satan and all the armies that come against him in the final battle at the end. 

Jesus is a Prince of Peace in that he reconciled us to God and that his kingdom will be a peaceful one where only the redeemed will be. Jesus has to be forceful and violent in order to defeat the world and all who oppose Him. So that they will know once and for all that He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. And that they will see who He really is the Son of God, Jesus Christ, risen from the dead.
