Contextual Overview

7Then I said, 'I'm here to do the job you sent me to do just like the Good Book said.'" 8Let's look at this. First, Christ said, "You didn't want more animal sacrifices or more sin offerings. You didn't want a burnt offering or any other kind because they couldn't get the job done." They were still required by the code of Moses, but that was just to hold down the fort until Jesus could come in and save the day. 9Then Christ said, "I'm here to do the job you sent me to do." He cancels out the need for the first code in order to make mandatory the second code (agreement). 10It was God's plan all along to make us holy by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ once and for all—no if's, and's, or but's. 11Under the old code, a man of God would stand before the altar and do the same thing again and again and again, but it never took away one sin. 12But our Man of God, Jesus, gave himself as an offering to God one time and it took sins away for all time. When his job was done, he got to sit down at the right hand of God who is on the throne of thrones. 13Jesus waits as his enemies are humbled and become a footstool under his feet. 14His one sacrifice made perfect all those who are being made holy by riding for his brand every day. 15The Holy Ghost agrees when he says, 16"This is the new code for my people says the Lord, it's not written on stone this time, but in their hearts and on their minds."

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.
