It reflects God's sovereign plan and timing. The use of "until" suggests a period of waiting and anticipation, emphasizing God's control over history and His ultimate victory over evil. This aligns with the biblical theme of God's patience and the eventual establishment of His kingdom.<p><b>Your enemies</b><br>In the biblical context, "enemies" often refers to those who oppose God's will and His anointed one. Historically, this can be seen in the opposition faced by Israel and later by Jesus Christ. Theologically, it represents the spiritual forces of evil and those who reject God's authority. This phrase connects to the broader biblical narrative of the conflict between good and evil, as seen in passages like <a href="/ephesians/6-12.htm">Ephesians 6:12</a>.<p><b>a footstool for</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 symbolized total victory. This metaphor is used in several Old Testament passages, such as <a href="/joshua/10-24.htm">Joshua 10:24</a>, to depict triumph over adversaries. It underscores the ultimate authority and dominion of the Messiah.<p><b>Your feet.”’</b><br>The reference to "Your feet" points to the Messiah, Jesus Christ, as the one who will exercise dominion over His enemies. This imagery is consistent with the messianic prophecy found in <a href="/psalms/110.htm">Psalm 110:1</a>, which is frequently quoted in the New Testament to affirm Christ's exaltation and authority (e.g., <a href="/hebrews/1-13.htm">Hebrews 1:13</a>).
