What does it mean that Christ expects His enemies to be made His footstool?

Answered in 1 source

It means that Christ, as sovereign Lord, will ultimately subdue all opposing forces under His authority and dominion (Hebrews 10:13).

When Hebrews 10:13 states that Christ 'expects till his enemies be made his footstool,' it emphasizes His sovereignty and the certainty of His victory over all opposition. This expectation is grounded in the unchangeable purpose of God, who has promised that every enemy of Christ shall be subdued. This includes the spiritual forces opposing God as well as the hearts of men who have resisted Him. The outcome is certain: every knee shall bow, whether in praise or in judgment, affirming the rightful lordship of Christ. This expectation fuels the confidence of believers as they engage in the world, knowing that Christ has ultimate authority and will bring about the completion of His redemptive plan.
