Not saying that the writer of the Psalm was mistaken. But that the attribution to King David of that Psalm is likely erroneous.
Yes, of course I could be mistaken. And so could Jesus. And he was, (Matthew 16.28) or if not Jesus, Matthew was.
Yeah right.
In view of what you claim, how would you answer Jesus?
First, let's keep this between you and me. If you accept the conventional Christian interpretation, then answer me this. Where else does David refer to the Messiah in the Psalms? I know of no other instance if indeed this is actually a Davidic Psalm and David is indeed referring to the Messiah. But the Psalm makes far more sense,
and is in keeping with the rest of the Psalms if the "Lord" in question, the second "Lord" is actually King David himself, and the Psalm was penned by another.
David was King, the only "LORD" David knew was YHVH.
I were one of Jesus contemporaries, I would would not yet have been able to say to Jesus "you've been wrong before" because the "some standing here" generation would still have been around. (Matthew 16.28). The jury would have still been out on that one. But I would said that I think the Psalm was mistakenly attributed to David. And I doubt very much that it was Jesus who was wrong either in Matthew 16.28, or here. I think more likely it was Matthew, and his attempt to revise Scripture to fit his Messianic agenda for Jesus.
But in retrospect it is clear that "Jesus" was wrong about the timing of his 2nd coming.
