Psalm 110:2
“The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 110Meaning
The image concerns royal authority in an ancient setting. It does not provide a timeless geopolitical map or a license for coercive religious rule.
Read carefully
The verse is ancient royal poetry and does not function as a standalone modern geopolitical settlement.
Reflection
Distinguish ancient royal poetry from present-day policy arguments.
