Contextual Overview

7 Then said I, Loe, I come. (In the volume of the booke it is written of me) to doe thy will, O God. 8 Aboue when hee said, Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt offerings, and offering for sinne thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein, which are offered by the Law: 9 Then said he, Loe, I come to doe thy will (O God:) He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10 By the which will wee are sanctified, through the offering of the body of Iesus Christ once for all. 11 And euery Priest standeth dayly ministring and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices which can neuer take away sinnes. 12 But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sinnes for euer, sate downe on the right hand of God, 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstoole. 14 For by one offering hee hath perfected for euer them that are sanctified. 15 Whereof the holy Ghost also is a witnesse to vs: for after that he had said before, 16 This is the Couenant that I wil make with them after those dayes, saith the Lord: I will put my Lawes into their hearts, and in their mindes will I write them:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

From henceforth expecting,.... According to God's promise and declaration to him, Psalms 110:1.

Till his enemies be made his footstool, Psalms 110:1- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

From henceforth expecting - Or waiting. He waits there until this shall be accomplished according to the promise made to him that all things shall be subdued under him; see the notes on 1 Corinthians 15:25-27.

Till his enemies - There is an allusion here to Psalms 110:1, where it is said, “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” The enemies of the Redeemer are Satan, the wicked of the earth, and all the evil passions of the heart. The idea is, that all things are yet to be made subject to his will - either by a cheerful and cordial submission to his authority, or by being crushed beneath his power. The Redeemer, having performed his great work of redemption by giving himself as a sacrifice on the cross, is represented now as calmly waiting until this glorious triumph is achieved, and this promise is fulfilled. We are not to suppose that he is inactive, or that he takes no share in the agency by which this is to be done. but the meaning is, that he looks to the certain fulfillment of the promise.

His footstool - That is, they shall be thoroughly and completely subdued. The same idea is expressed in 1 Corinthians 15:25, by saying that all his enemies shall be put under his feet. The language arose from the custom of conquerors in putting their feet on the necks of their enemies, as a symbol of subjection; see Joshua 10:24; notes, Isaiah 26:5-6.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Hebrews 10:13. Till his enemies be made his footstool. — Till all that oppose his high priesthood and sacrificial offering shall be defeated, routed, and confounded; and acknowledge, in their punishment, the supremacy of his power as universal and eternal King, who refused to receive him as their atoning and sanctifying Priest. There is also an oblique reference here to the destruction of the Jews, which was then at hand; for Christ was about to take away the second with an overwhelming flood of desolations.
