It reflects God's sovereign timing and plan, emphasizing that the fulfillment of His promises occurs according to His divine schedule. This aligns with the biblical theme of God's control over history and His ultimate authority over all events.<p><b>Your enemies</b><br>In the biblical context, "enemies" often refers to those who oppose God's will and His people. This can be understood both spiritually, as in the forces of evil, and physically, as in nations or individuals who resist God's purposes. The concept of enemies being subdued is a recurring theme in Scripture, symbolizing the ultimate victory of God's kingdom over all opposition.<p><b>a footstool</b><br>The imagery of a footstool signifies complete subjugation and defeat. In ancient Near Eastern culture, placing one's feet on the necks of conquered foes was a common practice to demonstrate victory and dominance. This metaphor illustrates the total and final defeat of all opposition to God's reign.<p><b>for Your feet.”’</b><br>This phrase completes the imagery of victory and authority. It signifies the exaltation and supremacy of the one who is victorious. In the context of <a href="/acts/2-35.htm">Acts 2:35</a>, this is a reference to Jesus Christ, who is exalted at the right hand of God. The fulfillment of this prophecy underscores the messianic role of Jesus and His ultimate triumph over all powers and authorities, as foretold in <a href="/psalms/110.htm">Psalm 110:1</a>, which is the source of this quotation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>King of Israel and a prophet, whose psalm is quoted by Peter in <a href="/bsb/acts/2.htm">Acts 2</a>.
