What does it mean that Jesus will make His enemies His footstool?

Answered in 1 source

This phrase signifies the ultimate triumph of Christ over all His enemies, demonstrating His sovereign authority and victory.

Psalm 110:1 declares, 'The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool.' This imagery conveys the complete subjugation of Christ's enemies, illustrating both His kingship and power. It reflects the reality that, as the exalted Lord, Jesus will reign until all opposition is defeated. The 'footstool' metaphor also symbolizes the total dominion and rule of Christ, reminding us that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him (Matthew 28:18). This should encourage believers with the assurance that Christ will prevail, and it emphasizes the need for us to submit to His lordship while also recalling the seriousness of rejecting Him. Ultimately, this passage signifies the hope that one day, every knee will bow to Christ and acknowledge His sovereignty.
