Easton's Bible Dictionary

Connected with a throne (2 Chronicles 9:18). Jehovah symbolically dwelt in the holy place between the cherubim above the ark of the covenant. The ark was his footstool (1 Chronicles 28:2; Psalm 99:5; 132:7). And as heaven is God's throne, so the earth is his footstool (Psalm 110:1; Isaiah 66:1; Matthew 5:35).

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

(n.) A low stool to support the feet of one when sitting.

FOOTSTOOL

foot'-stool (kebhes; hupopodion, "trodden on"): The 15 Scripture references to this term may be classified as literal or figurative. Of the former are the two passages: 2 Chronicles 9:18 and James 2:3. In these the footstool was a sort of step or support for the feet placed before the throne or any pretentious seat.

Of figurative uses, there are the following groups:

(1) Of the earth: Isaiah 66:1 Matthew 5:35 Acts 7:49.

(2) Of the ark: 1 Chronicles 28:2.

(3) Of the Temple: Psalm 99:5; Psalm 132:7 Lamentations 2:1; compare Isaiah 60:13.

(4) Of heathen enemies subdued by the Messianic King: Psalm 110:1 Matthew 22:44 the King James Version; Mark 12:36 Luke 20:43 Acts 2:35 Hebrews 1:13; Hebrews 10:13.

Thus the uses of this term are mainly metaphorical and symbolic of subjection, either to God as universal Lord or to God's Son as King by redemptive right. Compare 1 Corinthians 15:25-27, in which all things, including death, are represented as subject to Christ and placed beneath His feet.
