Bible Comments

The LORD said, &c. = Jehovah said unto Adonai. Quoted from Psalms 110:1. See App-4. App-98. For the principle underlying the form of quotation, see App-107 and App-117.

till, &c.. until. shall have (Greek. an) set Thine enemies as. footstool for Thy feet. The first of seven references to Psalms 110:1 in the N.T. (here; Mark 12:36; Luke 20:42.Acts 2:34; 1 Corinthians 15:25.Hebrews 1:13; Hebrews 10:13). All refer to Messiah's session on the Father's throne until His enemies shall be placed "as. footstool for His feet", except 1 Corinthians 15:25, where they are at length put in subjection to the Son (Adonai) "under His feet." In all the six, the enemies are placed as. footstool by Jehovah, but in 1 Corinthians 15:25 they are placed "under" by Adonai Himself. This was subject to Israel's repentance. See notes on Matthew 10:23; Matthew 16:28; Matthew 23:39; Matthew 24:34.Acts 8:19-26; Acts 28:25-26.
