“Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.”
and put everything under their feet.' In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them — the psalm's universal subjection awaits fulfillment; though Christ has been exalted and all things are destined to be under him, the present age does not yet show this fullness. The tension between the already and the not yet frames the readers' perseverance.
