It is widely taught that “The LORD said to my Lord, sit at my right hand,” represents a conversation between the LORD God and the Lord Jesus (who is also God).
However, the correct translations of Psalm 110:1, along with Matthew 22:42-45, radically changes this Biblical narrative.
- What is the etymology of the word lord, and in what context can it be used?
- Do the meanings of words in the English language evolve?
- If so, is it not a giant leap for an earthly title (lord) to suddenly manifest itself as a replacement for Yahweh’s Holy Name?
To find out, let’s examine the context and significance of these verses and uncover the profound truths (hidden) therein.
Are there two Lords in Psalm 110:1?
Many contend that Yahweh is translated as “the Lord” because of the traditions of the Pharisees, who believed that His name was too sacred to be spoken aloud.
Using the same logical fallacy, if Acts 4:12 and Ephesians 1:21 refer to Jesus, one could argue that his name should not be vocalized either, as it is said to be far above all others.
Pro 18:10 The name of Yahweh is a strong tower: the righteous run into it and are safe
- If there truly is only one God who is our Savior (Isa 43:10, 44:6), and He existed before Abraham (John 8:58), how could it be said that God named him Jesus?
- Moreover, what was his name before Abraham was born?
Psa 110:1 The LORD (H3068) said unto my Lord (H113)…
The first occurrence of the word “LORD” in Psalm 110:1 represents a Spiritual transgression of Biblical proportions.
Isa 1:2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for Yahweh hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me
Yahweh never implies that we are to avoid the use of His name out of reverence and yet the translators blatantly disregarded Yahweh’s command to call upon His name.
Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yahweh shall be Saved…
Yahweh’s name (H3068) has been replaced with the title of “the Lord” in Psalm 110:1, Isaiah 42:8, and more than 6,000 other scriptures.
Psa 86:5 For thou, Yahweh, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee
Names can only be transliterated from the original language to another, with the sound of the original name carried over to the new language. The name of Yahweh does not sound anything like the word lord (which is not a name).
- Many followers of Judaism criticize Christians for translating the second “Lord” in Psalm 110:1 as if it were sacred, while believing that translating the first “LORD” into all capital letters is helpful.
- This premise is nonsensical because Yahweh’s name cannot be translated.
This letter capitalization concept is not only grammatically incorrect, but it also contradicts the laws of writing mechanics and common sense.
To accurately identify anyone titled as Lord, including that person’s name is essential.
The second occurrence of the word “Lord” in Psalm 110:1 is intended to address King David, although this translation is misleading. Since this is David speaking in the first person (Mat 22:43), he would not refer to himself as “my Lord.”
Several translations for adon include master, lord, and sir. The title of “lord” is reserved for men who hold positions of authority and power; it is not a personal name.
-
Lord is an old English word that did not exist in the Hebrew language.
- Adon, properly translated from Hebrew would be the word master.
- Obviously the phrase “my Lord” could not refer to Jesus who is said to be God.
The Hebrew word adon (H113), translated as lord, should not refer to Yahweh anywhere in the Bible. However, it does.
Psa 8:9 O LORD our Lord (H113), how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Psa 97:5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord (H113) of the whole earth
Psalms 136:3 O give thanks to the Lord (H113) of lords (H113): for his mercy endures forever
After reading Isaiah 42:8, which inaccurately states that Yahweh’s name is “the LORD,” consider the translations of Psalm 136:3, Isaiah 26:13, Revelation 17:14, and Revelation 19:16.
In these passages, both the Father and the Son are referred to as “the Lord of lords.”
Yahweh Cannot be called adonai or the Lord
Some preachers claim that King David overhears a conversation between the LORD God (Yahweh, H3068) and the Lord Jesus (adonai, H136). However, the word “adonai” is not used in Psalm 110:1.
Psalm 30:8 I cried to thee, O LORD (H3068), unto the LORD (H136) I made my supplication
- The title of adonai (also translated as lord) was fabricated to replace the name of Yahweh, as seen in Deuteronomy 10:17; it is also a word that was not used in the original Hebrew language.
- Adonai is not an emphatic form of adon (H113), nor is it the plural form of adon, for God is one. Therefore, the meaning ascribed to this word is also fictitious.
- The “emphatic form” of a noun such as “master” is “sovereign master”; it strongly emphasizes the dominance of that specific person.
- Adding the “ai” suffix to “adon” does not create a more emphatic form of this word.
- If “adonai” were actually a substitute for the name Yahweh, then this word would not be a derivative of “adon,” which refers specifically to men.
Deu 10:17 For the LORD (H3068) your God is God of gods, and Lord (H136) of lords (H113)…
While “Yah” is widely recognized as part of the original pronunciation of God’s divine name, there is no evidence that the word “Yah” was written or pronounced in the original Hebrew language.
And although it is said that the transliteration for Yhwh was lost over time, what transpired is that the scribes intentionally added the vowel points from the word “adonai” to the consonants of Yhwh to discourage the proper pronunciation and use of Yahweh’s name.
Exo 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god, for Yahweh is jealous of His name, and a jealous God
If the name Yahweh cannot be pronounced due to the absence of vowels in the Hebrew language (Yhwh); the same logic would render the name David (Dvd) and all other names unpronounceable as well.
In Psalm 110:1, the term “Lord” is used twice without justification. Additionally, “the Lord” is a title and cannot be called upon as a name.
Yahweh instructs us to call upon His name, and those who do so shall be saved, according to what was once written in Romans 10:13, Acts 2:21, and Joel 2:32.
David’s Lords in Acts 2:34
What is presented in presented in Acts 2:25 and 34 obscures the truth that David’s Messiah is Yahweh.
- Jesus, whose name is not mentioned in the Old Testament, is not David’s Lord.
- King David worshiped Yahweh alone, whose name is incorrectly transliterated as “the LORD” in Acts 2:25, Matthew 22:43, and 45.
- Also, David did not foresee an invitation for the Lord (Jesus) to sit at Yahweh’s right hand.
One of the contradictions regarding the phrase “my Lord” in Psalm 110:1 is that it could not refer to Jesus, as he had not yet been born when David composed this Psalm.
In an attempt to overcome this problem, Acts 2:25 is created, stating that David foresaw the Lord always. It is taught that David experienced a vision in which he overheard a heavenly conversation involving the Lord Jesus before His birth, alluded to in Acts 2:34.
“The Lord” mentioned in Acts 2:25 refers to Yahweh, not Jesus, as evidenced in Psalm 16:8.
Psa 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
When Psalm 16:8 is properly translated, and Yahweh’s name is restored, a more realistic interpretation would be: “I have placed Yahweh always before me; because of His right hand, I shall not be moved.”
Acts 2:27 refers to Psalm 16:10, where David said, “Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thy faithful one to see destruction.”
The context of Acts 2:25-30 is about David not the Messiah.
Acts 2:30 is in reference to King David and his descendants (or offspring), who would sit on his throne provided that they kept Yahweh’s covenant and commandments (Lev 26:14-32, Psalm 89:3-4, 132:11-12, 2 Samuel 7:12). This verse is not about God raising up the Messiah to Heaven to sit on David’s throne.
- According to what is written in Acts 2:24, and 2:32 God has raised Jesus (who is also said to be God).
- This is a contradiction according to John 10:19, and in John 2:19, our Messiah said, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
The teaching that the Lord God could say to another Lord (who is also God), sit here at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool under thy feet, is inconceivable.
God can’t sit next to God; this is an irrational and impossible concept.
- In Acts 2:21, 25, and 34, “the Lord” refers to Yahweh. How does the Lord God in Act 2:36 make Jesus both Lord and Messiah in light of what is written in Isaiah 42:8?
- Yahweh Alone is Savior, and for our Messiah to be Savior He must be Yahweh.
The Interpretation of the LORD said to my lord
The process of interpreting Psalm 110:1 surely starts with an understanding of transliterations, translations, and context. However, it also requires the teaching and confirmation of Yahweh’s Spirit (Pro 3:5, Psalm 25:5, 1 Cor 3:19, 1 Cor 2:14).
This exposé of Psalm 110:1 and Matthew 22:42-45 is “Revolutionary” because of its significance. Notably, it reveals the unfounded and impossible teaching of two Saviors (both referred to as God) engaging in a Heavenly conversation.
Pro 2:6 For Yahweh giveth wisdom, out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding
- In Psalm 108:13, King David prays that Yahweh will tread down his enemies underfoot.
- Yahweh answers David’s prayer as revealed in Psalm 110:1, roughly translated as: “Yahweh said unto me, thou shall dwell (or remain) here, for with my right hand I shall utterly make thine enemies my footstool.”
David frequently prayed to and invoked the help of Yahweh requesting His intervention; this clearly demonstrated his constant communication with Yahweh.
Psalms 110:1 The LORD (H3068) said unto my Lord (H113), Sit (H3427) thou at my right hand…
H3427 is translated as sit in Psalms 110:1. Other more appropriate translations as related to this verse include occupy, remain, endure, inhabit, abide and dwell (as seen in Psalm 23:6, 68:10, 69:35, 91:1, 140:13).
Psa 140:13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence
Psa 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty
Old & New Testament Contradictions
**Psalms 110:1** “The LORD said unto my Lord”
The New Testament reveals that David refers to his Messiah as Yahweh, but a proper interpretation of Psalms 110:1 is necessary to uncover this truth.
- The first and second usages of the word “Lord” in Psalm 110:1 are unique because “LORD” (H3068) and “my Lord” (H113) have entirely different etymologies.
- Yahweh’s name has been improperly transliterated as “the LORD” in Psalm 110:1.
- Also, the second “Lord” in this verse has been added without justification. The phrase “my Lord” should be replaced with “me.”
- Therefore, “The LORD said unto my Lord” is better translated as “Yahweh said unto me,” as David speaks in the first person.
**Mat 22:44** “The LORD said unto my Lord”
In contrast to Psalms 110:1, the terms “LORD” (G2962) and “my Lord” (G2962) in Acts 2:34 share the same etymology. These words are the same except for their capitalization, which represents an illogical concept
- Additionally, the Greek word “kyrios” (G2962) is not derived from the Hebrew name of Yahweh (H3068).
David’s Messiah is Yahweh
Matthew 22:42 What think ye of Christ? Whose son is he? They say unto him, the Son of David
Matthew 22:43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord…
Matthew 22:45 If David then called him Lord, how is he his son?”
- The word “him” used in Matthew 22:43 refers to the Messiah mentioned in Matthew 22:42 (translated as Christ).
- Likewise, the terms “him” and “he” in Matthew 22:45 also refer to David’s Messiah.
- When we replace the title of “Lord” in Matthew 22:45 with the name of Yahweh, a completely different interpretation of significance is revealed.
- “If David called him Yahweh, how is he his son?”
If David calls his Messiah Yahweh, how can it be said that the Messiah is David’s son (Matthew 22:45)?
If the religions of Judaism and Christianity were ever to embrace this Spiritual truth, many of their man-made doctrines would fall by the wayside.
Thus says Yahweh, turn unto Me for your Salvation, all ye from the ends of the Earth, for I Am your God and there is no other Savior besides me (Isa 43:11, 45:18-23).
To reiterate; Yahweh Alone is Savior, and for our Messiah to be Savior He must be Yahweh.
The Right Hand of God | Yahweh’s Mighty Power
- The Son, who came forth from the Father, does not sit at the right hand of the Father.
The Messiah is the personification of the Spirit of the Father in the flesh; He is Almighty God (Isaiah 9:6, John 14:7-9, Rev 11:17, 15:3). This represents one God revealed in one person.
Isaiah 48:13 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together
- King David did not sit at Yahweh’s right hand either.
Psa 138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me
The right hand of Yahweh describes David’s source of power (Psalm 21:8, 17:7, 18:35, 20:6, 89:19-37, 110:1, 5, 6).
- The translation given in Psalm 110:1 represents incredible deception.
- And the mainstream interpretation of this verse represents a lack of spiritual discernment.
Psa 110:5 The LORD (H136) at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath
- As already discussed, adonai (H136) is used as a replacement for the name of Yahweh, it does not refer to Jesus.
- If Jesus sits at the LORD’S right hand in Psalm 110:1, how then does the LORD sit at Jesus’s right hand in Psalm 110:5?
A more realistic interpretation of Psa 110:5 is: “Yahweh with His right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.” See also Exo 15:6, Psalm 98:1, 138:7.
The perplexing part is how someone can believe in the trinity, where two eternally distinct persons, both given the title of God, can sit next to each other, have a conversation together, and still be considered one God.
Indeed, the mental gymnastics required to justify that thought process is extraordinary.
Hebrews 10:12-13 states that Jesus, who is referred to as God, sits down at the right hand of God, waiting until God makes His enemies His footstool.
However, He may be waiting for a long time and missing out on significant end-time events.
1 Corinthians 15:26 declares that the last enemy to be destroyed is death. According to Revelation 20:14, death and hell are cast into the lake of fire after the thousand-year reign.
If the Lord Jesus is to be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels to judge the living and the dead and to establish His kingdom after the Great Tribulation, as outlined in 2 Thessalonians 1:7 and 2 Timothy 4:1, then He is certainly not seated at God’s right hand simply waiting for Him to conquer His enemies.
There are many Lords – Yahweh is not one of them
- For centuries, religious institutions have regarded the word “Lord” as a proper name for God as seen in their many Bible translations.
- Future generations will continue using the title of “the Lord,” thinking they are using God’s name, unless taught otherwise.
To maintain any sense of scriptural integrity, the title of “the Lord“ In Matt 3:3, Mark 1:3, Luke 1:76, and Isaiah 40:3, must be replaced with the name of Yahweh.
John the Baptist was sent to prepare the way for the arrival of Yahweh who came forth in the person of the Messiah.
Isa 43:11 I, even I Am Yahweh and beside me there is no Savior
Indeed, apart from Yahweh, there is no Savior (Isa 2:17, 43:11. 45:21).
Our Messiah said to Philip, “He that has seen me hath seen the Father, how then do you say show us the Father“ (John 14:9).
And in John 14:7, He declared, “If you had known me, you would have known my Father, indeed, from now on you do know him and have seen him.“
- The Holy Child, born of a virgin, is the everlasting Father; He is Yahweh, the Messiah, revealed in the flesh (Isaiah 9:6, 2 Corinthians 4:4, Colossians 1:15).
- This fundamental spiritual truth is necessary to unravel the many contradictions within the Holy Scriptures.
- There cannot be two Lords and Saviors referred to as God (Jude 1:4, 1 Timothy 1:1).
The God of the Old and New Testaments is Yahweh. Therefore, a better interpretation of Luke 11:20 would be, “But if I with the finger of Yahweh cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.”
- There is only One God, and the image of God (who is Yahweh) is revealed in the person who is called the Messiah.
- This is not a debatable theory it is a fundamental Spiritual truth that the Holy Scriptures are based upon.
Rev 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith Yahweh, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty
According to Yahweh, there is no other Savior (or God) besides Him. He is the first and the last (Isaiah 33:22, 37:20, 45:5-6, 45:21, 48:12, 54:5, Rev 1:8, 21:6-7, 22:13).
Yahweh, the redeemer, declared this in Isaiah 44:6, “I am the first, and I am the last, and beside me there is no God.” See also: Isaiah Isa 44:22 and 44:24.
The Keys to Deciphering Yahweh’s Holy Scriptures Revealed
Isa 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am Yahweh and there is none else
The reverence for Yahweh’s name is emphasized in passages such as Genesis 4:26, where men began to call upon the name of Yahweh long before the Pharisees outlawed this practice.
As for the significance of calling upon Yahweh’s name, when he returns, the sun shall be turned into darkness, the moon into blood, and those who call upon Yahweh shall be Saved (Joel 2:31-32).
Eze 36:23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Yahweh…
