D'ASSONVILLE, Victor E.. "The perpetuity of Christ's reign ..." Calvin's interpretation of Psalm 110:1. Koers (Online) [online]. 2022, vol.87, n.1, pp.1-8. ISSN 2304-8557.  http://dx.doi.org/10.19108/KOERS.87.1.2532.

The discussion of the Messiah in the Old Testament has always been very significant. Matters like the relationship between Old and New Testament, the view of Christ, especially regarding his divine nature, revelation, the view of Scripture etc. - all of these aspects are crucial for the confessions of the church. Considering Calvin's accentuation on Christology in his theology as such and not least bearing his high regard for the Book of the Psalms in mind, a study of his reflections on Psalm 110:1 is most appropriate for getting more insight in his exegesis. In Calvin's exposition of Psalm 110:1 Calvin emphasises the significance and consequences for the church (as well as for the world) of Yahweh saying to the Lord Christ that He will be raised to the right hand of the Father, and that his enemies will be subjected beneath his feet. An analysis of Calvin's exegesis shows his respect of the frame Christ Himself provided when He referred to Psalm 110:1 in Matthew 22 and Mark 12. Calvin thus remains faithful to the text being expounded, but - as always - he does so within the context of the whole history of revelation.
