Is there a gap between Psalm 110:5 and Psalm 110:6?

No, there is no gap between Psalm 110:5 and Psalm 110:6. Verse 5 describes the Tribulation, and verse 6 immediately follows with the King setting upon the holy hill of Zion—the Kingdom. The Old Testament program shows these events taking place one right after the other, with no room for a 2,000-year gap.

Les explains that Psalm 110:5 describes the Tribulation, and Psalm 110:6 immediately follows with the King setting upon the holy hill of Zion, which is the Kingdom. He emphasizes there is no indication of any gap between these verses. The sequence is: Psalm 110:1 has Christ sitting at the Father's right hand until His enemies are made His footstool, then verse 5 brings wrath and vexation, and verse 6 brings the Kingdom. This is the Old Testament program—immediately after the Tribulation, the Kingdom would come. Scripture leaves no room for a 2,000-year interval; the Old Testament expected these events to occur one right after the other.

Psalms 110:5

The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

Psalms 110:6

He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
