Given the dearth of non-messianic interpretations of Psalm 110:1 in
non-Christian Second Temple Jewish texts, why did it become such a
widely used messianic prooftext in the New Testament and early
Christianity? Previous attempts to answer this question have
focused on why the earliest Christians first began to use Ps 110:1.
The result is that these proposals do not provide an adequate
explanation for why first century Christians living in the Greek
East employed the verse and also applied it to Jesus's exaltation.
I contend that two Greco-Roman politico-religious practices, royal
and imperial temple and throne sharing-which were cross-cultural
rewards that Greco-Roman communities bestowed on beneficent, pious,
and divinely approved rulers-contributed to the widespread use of
Ps 110:1 in earliest Christianity. This means that the earliest
Christians interpreted Jesus's heavenly session as messianic and
thus political, as well as religious, in nature.
