The Greek word used here, "τότε" (tote), signifies a specific point in time, emphasizing the completed work of Christ's sacrifice. Historically, this marks the transition from the old covenant, with its repeated sacrifices, to the new covenant, where Christ's single offering suffices for all time. This moment is pivotal in Christian theology, symbolizing the fulfillment of prophecy and the inauguration of a new era of grace.<p><b>He waits</b><br />The Greek word "ἐκδέχεται" (ekdechetai) conveys a sense of patient expectation. Christ's waiting is not passive but is filled with purpose and assurance. This waiting period is a testament to God's sovereign plan unfolding in His perfect timing. It reflects the confident anticipation of the ultimate victory over evil, a theme that resonates throughout Scripture, reminding believers of the assured triumph of God's kingdom.<p><b>for His enemies</b><br />The term "enemies" here, from the Greek "ἐχθρούς" (echthrous), refers to all forces opposed to God's will and kingdom. This includes spiritual adversaries, such as Satan and his demonic forces, as well as earthly powers that resist God's authority. Historically, this enmity traces back to the fall of man and the ongoing spiritual warfare described throughout the Bible. The ultimate defeat of these enemies is a central promise of Christian eschatology.<p><b>to be made</b><br />The phrase "to be made" comes from the Greek "τίθημι" (tithēmi), meaning to place or set. This indicates a deliberate action by God to subdue and arrange all things under Christ's authority. It underscores the divine initiative in bringing about the fulfillment of His redemptive plan. This action is not merely a future hope but a present reality being worked out in history.<p><b>a footstool for His feet</b><br />This imagery is drawn from ancient Near Eastern customs, where a conquering king would place his feet on the necks of defeated foes, symbolizing total victory and subjugation. The phrase echoes <a href="/psalms/110.htm">Psalm 110:1</a>, a messianic prophecy that is frequently referenced in the New Testament. In the Greek, "ὑποπόδιον" (hypopodion) signifies a place of submission. This powerful image assures believers of Christ's ultimate dominion and the complete subjugation of all opposition, reinforcing the hope and certainty of His reign.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hebrews/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(13) <span class= "bld">Expecting.</span>--This word belongs to the contrast just mentioned. He does not minister and offer His sacrifice again, but waits for the promised subjection of His foes. Once before in this context (<a href="/hebrews/9-28.htm" title="So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin to salvation.">Hebrews 9:28</a>) our thought has been thus directed to the future consummation. There it consists in the second coming of Christ for the salvation of "them that wait for Him;" here it is He Himself who is "waiting," and the end is the attainment of supreme dominion.
