and placed everything under his feet
This phrase is a powerful declaration of the authority and dominion given to Jesus Christ. The Greek word for "placed" is "hypotassō," which means to arrange under, to subordinate, or to subject. This word conveys the idea of a deliberate and authoritative action by God, placing all things under the control and authority of Christ. Historically, this reflects the ancient practice of a king or ruler having his enemies or subjects literally under his feet, symbolizing complete victory and dominion. In the scriptural context, this phrase echoes Psalm 8:6, where humanity is given dominion over creation, but in Hebrews, it is ultimately fulfilled in Christ, the perfect man and divine Son.

everything
The term "everything" (Greek: "panta") is all-encompassing, indicating that nothing is excluded from Christ's authority. This includes all creation, spiritual and physical realms, and every power and authority. Theologically, this underscores the sovereignty of Christ over all aspects of existence, affirming His role as the sustainer and ruler of the universe. It is a reminder to believers of the comprehensive nature of Christ's reign, providing assurance that nothing is outside His control.

under his feet
The imagery of "under his feet" is significant in both biblical and historical contexts. In ancient Near Eastern culture, placing something under one's feet was a symbol of conquest and authority. Biblically, this phrase is often used to describe the subjugation of enemies (e.g., Joshua 10:24). In the New Testament, it signifies the ultimate victory of Christ over sin, death, and all opposing forces. This phrase assures believers of the complete and final triumph of Christ, encouraging them to live in the confidence of His victory and lordship.

(8) Thou hast put . . .--There is in the Greek a studious repetition of the leading word, which should not be lost in translation: "Thou didst subject all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing unsubjected to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him."

For in that . . .--The assertion of Hebrews 2:5 is established by this Scripture; for if God has thus declared all things subject to man, there is nothing that did not fall under his rule. "Did not," in the divine purpose; but this purpose is not yet fulfilled in regard to the race of man.

Verse 8. - Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all things in subjection under him, etc. Here the argument from the psalm begins. It is to the following effect: For the subjection of all things, in the Creator's design, to man leaves nothing exempted from his sovereignty. But we do not see man, as he is upon earth now, occupying this implied position of complete sovereignty. Therefore the full idea of the psalm awaits fulfillment. And we Christians find its complete fulfillment in him who, having become a man like us, and is made with us "a little lower than the angels," is now, as man, and for man, "crowned with glory and honor," at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Or we may put it thus: In the present οἰκουμένη man is not supreme over "all things" in the sense denoted; but in the οἰκουμένη to come "of which we speak," with its far wider bearings, he is, in the Person of Christ, over "all things" thus supreme. Therefore in Christ alone does man attain his appointed destiny. We may here observe how, even without the enlightenment of Scripture, man's own consciousness reveals to him an ideal of his position in creation which, in his present state, he does not realize. The strange apparent contradiction between man as he is and man as he feels he should be, between experience and conscience, between the facts and the ideal of humanity, has long been patent to philosophers as well as divines.
