in the day he was enraged

Psalm 110:5-7

Psalm 110:5 Yahveh at your right hand has beaten kings to pieces in the day he was enraged.
Psalm 110:6 He judged among the nations, He has filled them with corpses, has beaten the head over the great land to pieces.
Psalm 110:7 From a brook along the road he drinks, so he lifts up his head.

in the day he was enraged

Commentaries on this passage are usually quick to describe it as a picture of the last-day wrath of God. I don’t think so. To me, it is a picture of the confidence the Messiah will have as he goes forth to conquer, because Yahveh at his right hand has judged the nations in the past, leaving heaps of corpses in his wake.

Jesus will reign. No nation can oppose him forever.
