Does Psalm 16:8 CONTRADICT Psalm 110:1?
***What Does Psalm 16:8 TRULY mean?
Here is Psalm 16:8 from the KJV. “I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.”
Does Psalm 16:8 CONTRADICT Psalm 110:1?
In other words, HOW is it POSSIBLE for Almighty God the Father to ALWAYS be at the RIGHT hand of Jesus, and at the SAME time be SEATED at the RIGHT hand of the Father?
To say this another way, if Jesus is SEATED at the RIGHT hand of the Father, then the Father will be on the LEFT hand of Jesus.
So then, HOW do we HARMONIZE Psalm 16:8 to be in PERFECT AGREEMENT with Psalm 110:1?

How God HARMONIZED Psalm 16:8 and Psalm 110:1!
Have you ever wondered HOW it can be POSSIBLE for Jesus to be seated at the RIGHT hand of the Father, while at the SAME TIME, the Father is at the RIGHT hand of Jesus?
Can the Father and Son be seated SIDE by SIDE and both of these verses be TRUE and in AGREEMENT with each other?
Today is April 3rd in 2024. About two to three weeks ago, I woke up with the answer.
I got a piece of typing paper and began drawing a picture of the throne room as a rough sketch looking down of the two thrones side by side facing the 24 thrones spoken of in Revelation 4:4 and Revelation 11:16-17.
Then, two days ago, God gave me a verse of Scripture, when CORRECTLY TRANSLATED, shows how this is possible.
But before we delve into that verse of Scripture, let us picture in our minds the TRADITIONAL view of Jesus being seated at the RIGHT hand of Almighty God the Father.
Now, when I read Psalm 110:1 and all of the other PROPHECIES of the Messiah being SEATED at the RIGHT hand of Yahweh, the Father, then I picture in my mind Jesus sitting SIDE by SIDE with the Father, FACING the SAME way, as in the picture below.
The Father is on the LEFT hand of Jesus in this TRADITIONAL view of the Throne!
And thus, the TRADITIONAL church view, as pictured above, Almighty God the Father is at the LEFT hand of Jesus and NOT on the RIGHT hand of Jesus.
But yet, in the prophecy of Jesus in Psalm 16:8, says that the Son will set the Father at MY RIGHT hand ALWAYS.
Psalm 16:8.
“I have set the LORD ALWAYS before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.”
Now, on the surface, this may SEEM to contradict Psalm 110:1, but once you see the answer, then ALL of the other Scriptures come to remembrance being in perfect harmony being in perfect agreement with each other.
Psalm 110:1
“A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit you at My right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”
So then, what is the SOUND Biblical answer to this seemingly contradiction between these two verses of Scripture.
Let us read Revelation 22:1-5 from the King James Version first, and then I will share what God spoke to my spirit and mind around three weeks ago, and I drew a sketch of the throne room as an aerial view.
Revelation 22:1-5.
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the THRONE of God AND of the Lamb. (Here we see TWO different persons of beings in the THRONE or the throne ROOM of Almighty God, the Creator)
Revelation 22:2. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bore twelve manners of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Revelation 22:3. And there shall be no more curse: but the THRONE of God AND of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve him:
Revelation 22:4. And they shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads.
Revelation 22:5. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God GIVES them LIGHT: and THEY shall reign for ever and ever.”
I was impressed to look up the two words “in it” that I have highlighted in green in verse 2, and here is what I found.
The concordance in S-Sword defines the Greek word “translated” is “in” ALSO means to POSITION.
In other words, HOW the throne of the Lamb is POSITIONED in respect to the throne of Yahweh, the Father.
Here is the definition, according to E-Sword. The emphasis is mine.
G1722
ἐν
en
en
A primary preposition denoting (fixed) POSITION (in place, time or state), and (by implication) instrumentality (medially or constructively), that is, a relation of rest (intermediate between G1519 and G1537); “in”, at, (up-) on, by, etc.: - about, after, against, + almost, X altogether, among, X as, at, before, between, (here-) by (+ all means), for (. . . sake of), + give self wholly to, (here-) in (-to, -wardly), X mightily, (because) of, (up-) on, [open-] ly, X outwardly, one, X quickly, X shortly, [speedi-] ly, X that, X there (-in, -on), through (-out), (un-) to(-ward), under, when, where (-with), while, with (-in). Often used in compounds, with substantially the same import; rarely with verbs of motion, and then not to indicate direction, except (elliptically) by a separate (and different) prep.
Total KJV occurrences: 2720.
In other words, HOW the throne of the Lamb is POSITIONED in RELATION to the Father’s throne will determine HOW Psalm 16:8 and Psalm 110:1 can BOTH be in COMPLETE agreement.
For you see, if the throne of the Lamb is facing the opposite DIRECTION of the throne of the Father, AND the 24 seats before the throne are facing the BACKSIDE of the throne of Almighty God the Father, then the RIGHT hand of Jesus will be SET at the RIGHT hand of the Father.
And Jesus will ALSO be seated at the RIGHT hand of the Father at the SAME time that the Father is at the RIGHT hand of Jesus.
With that being said, here is how the concordance in E-Sword defines the Greek word “TRANSLATED” as “it” in the KJV.
G846
αὐτός
autos
ow-tos'
From the particle αὖ au (perhaps akin to the base of G109 through the idea of a baffling wind; BACKWARD); the reflexive pronoun self, used (alone or in the compound of G1438) of the third person, and (with the proper personal pronoun) of the other persons: - her, it (-self), one, the other, (mine) own, said, ([self-], the) same, ([him-, my-, thy-]) self, [your-] selves, she, that, their (-s), them ([-selves]), there [-at, -by, -in, -into, -of, -on, -with], they, (these) things, this (man), those, together, very, which. Compare G848.
Total KJV occurrences: 4813.
Let us now read Revelation 22:3 with these other meanings of these two Greek words in mind to see a more correct understanding of the throne room of God.
Revelation 22:3.
“And there shall be no more curse: but the THRONE of God AND of the Lamb shall be POSITIONED BACKWARD; and His servants shall serve him:”
And thus, the servants of Yahweh the Father will HONOR His Son even as they HONOR the Father, according to John 5:22,23.
Let us go ahead and read those verses.
John 5:22-23, 26-27.
“For the Father judges no man, but has COMMITTED all judgment unto the Son: (This a promise or a prophecy of the GLORIFIED highly exalted Son of MAN, Jesus, being CROWNED with glory, honor and power after the cross and resurrection.
And the God of Jesus did this for a REASON)
John 5:23. THAT (Or so THAT or in ORDER THAT) ALL men should HONOR the Son, (Speaking of God’s GLORIFIED human Son, whom He MADE a Lord, a King, and a God AFTER the cross and resurrection, according to Acts 2:36 and many other passages of Scripture) even as they HONOR the Father. He that honors NOT the Son honors NOT the Father which has SENT (Or COMMISSIONED) him…
…John 5:26. For as the Father HAS life in Himself; so has He GIVEN to the Son to have life in himself;
John 5:27. And has GIVEN him (Speaking of the NOW GLORIFIED Son of MAN, Jesus) authority to execute judgment ALSO, (Any WHY did the God of Jesus do this?) BECAUSE he is the Son of MAN.”
So then, with the throne of the Lamb POSITIONED BACKWARD in relation to the throne of Almighty God, the Father, then the throne of the Lamb is FACING the 24 seats of the elders.
And thus, the 24 seats will also be facing the BACKSIDE of Yahweh, the Father’s throne, and NOT being able to see the face of Yahweh HIMSELF sitting on the throne.
Therefore, the FACE that they shall see is the IMAGE of Almighty God the Father.
With this in mind, let us read Revelation 22:15 again.
Revelation 22:1-5.
“And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the THRONE of God AND of the Lamb. (Here we see TWO different persons of beings on the THRONE or in the throne ROOM of Almighty God, the Creator.
We see TWO thrones side by side, the Almighty God sits on one throne and the Lamb sits at his RIGHT hand BESIDE Him.)
Revelation 22:2. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bore twelve manners of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Revelation 22:3. And there shall be no more curse: but the THRONE of God AND of the Lamb shall be in it; (Or the throne of the Lamb shall be POSITIONED BACKWARD in relation to the throne of Yahwwh, the Father) and His servants shall serve him: (Or Yahweh’s servants shall serve and honor the Lamb even as they honor Yahweh, the Father)
Revelation 22:4. And they shall see His FACE; and His name shall be in their foreheads. (In other words, the now GLORIFIED Son of MAN, Jesus, is the FACE of Yahweh who MADE the Captain of our salvation PERFECT through sufferings, according to Hebrews 2:10)
Revelation 22:5. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God GIVES them LIGHT: (Or Almighty God the Father GIVES His Lord and God all power and authority to GIVE his good and faithful servants the SAME GLORY that his God and Father GAVE him, according to John 17:22) and THEY shall reign for ever and ever.”
So then, why does the Moses talking with God FACE to FACE truly mean in the LIGHT of the HUMAN Son of God being the FACE of Yahweh, the Creator?
I will BRIEFLY explain Exodus 33:18-23 as an introduction to the next Verse Study on Exodus 33:20b, which says, for there shall no man see God and LIVE.
Now, to me, in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God, the way in which verse 20b, is TRANSLATED does not AGREE with the rest of God’s word.
Exodus 33:18-23.
“And he said, (Or and Moses said to Yahweh) I beseech You, shew me Your GLORY.
Exodus 33:19. And He said, I will make all my goodness pass before you, (Or I will make ENOUGH of my goodness cross over above you) and I will proclaim the NAME of the LORD before you; (Or I will proclaim the NAME of the FACE of Yahweh to you) and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
Exodus 33:20. And He said, you can not see My FACE: (WHY? Why did Yahweh NOT ALLOW Moses to see the FACE of Yahweh, the GLORY that Moses SPECIFICALLY asked God to show him?
The short answer for now is that the NAME of Yahweh’s FACE needed to be kept a SECRET from Yahweh’s ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels) for there shall no man see me, and live. (Or more correctly translated, otherwise, when humans DISCERN me, they shall LIVE.
And God does not want man to live eternally in a FALLEN world of SIN.
In other words, it was not yet TIME for God’s Messiah to be revealed.
To say this another way, Moses, it is not yet TIME for my ARM to REVEAL my SALVATION to man, according to John 12:38-40 and 1 Corinthians 2:8)
Exodus 33:21. And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand upon a rock: (Or “prophetically” speaking, understand that I have a place with me appointed for you to stand upon a ROCK)
Exodus 33:22. And it shall come to pass, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in a clift of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by:
Exodus 33:23. And I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back parts: but My FACE shall not be seen.”
Again, at this TIME My FACE shall NOT be discerned.
This is like Jesus telling his disciples that it is NOT for THEM to know the times and the seasons of his coming.
WHY? Why would Almighty God and His Son NOT plainly tell THAT GENERATION the exact time of the coming of Jesus.
Well, for one thing, Jesus is coming with ARMIES to fight against his ENEMIES.
And thus, it is NOT WISE to let the ENEMY know the exact day and hour you are going to come to destroy them.
Again, in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God, the way in which verse 20b, is TRANSLATED, it does not AGREE with the rest of God’s word.
To understand WHY I say that the WAY in which Exodus 33:20 is “translated”, it does NOT AGREE with the rest of God’s word, please read the Verse Study called, Exodus 33:20 Does NOT Mean That God is INVISIBLE!
Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
