until
The word "until" signifies a period of waiting or a future event that is certain to occur. In the Greek, the word used is "ἕως" (heōs), which indicates a temporal boundary. This suggests a divine timeline, emphasizing God's sovereign control over history. It reassures believers that God's promises are sure and will be fulfilled in His perfect timing.

I make
The phrase "I make" is derived from the Greek "τίθημι" (tithēmi), meaning to place or set. This action is attributed to God, highlighting His active role in the fulfillment of His plans. It underscores the belief that God is the ultimate authority who orchestrates events according to His will, reinforcing the idea of divine intervention in human affairs.

Your enemies
"Your enemies" refers to those who oppose Christ and His kingdom. In the context of the Psalms, from which this verse is quoted (Psalm 110:1), it originally referred to the enemies of King David, but prophetically it points to the adversaries of the Messiah. This phrase reminds believers of the spiritual battle between good and evil and the assurance of Christ's ultimate victory over all opposition.

a footstool
The term "footstool" comes from the Greek "ὑποπόδιον" (hypopodion), which literally means something under the feet. In ancient Near Eastern culture, placing one's feet on the necks of conquered foes symbolized total victory and subjugation. This imagery conveys the complete and final triumph of Christ over His enemies, offering hope and encouragement to believers that evil will be vanquished.

for Your feet
The phrase "for Your feet" emphasizes the personal nature of Christ's victory. It is not just a general triumph but one that is intimately connected to Jesus Himself. This reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to exalt His Son and establish His reign. For believers, it is a powerful reminder of Christ's authority and the assurance that they share in His victory as part of His body, the Church.
