nThis fits the New
Testament picture of Jesus.
nHe is pictured as a
priest in the letter to the Hebrews chapters 4-10, and
a king throughout the New Testament.
nBecause the Hebrew
Bible keeps kingship and priesthood strictly
separate, the author of Psalm 110 must go all the way
back to the book of Genesis to a Gentile to
find a righteous priest-king.
