Luke 20:43
“until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’”
What does Luke 20:43 mean?
Jesus is quoting Psalm 110, one of the most important passages about the Messiah in Jewish Scripture. The image of enemies becoming a footstool is a picture of complete victory, where those who oppose God's kingdom are utterly defeated and subdued. It's not meant to be taken literally, but rather to convey that Christ's reign will be absolute and unopposed. For anyone facing struggles or feeling overwhelmed by forces working against them, this verse offers the reassurance that Jesus ultimately has the final word, and all opposition to God's purposes will eventually be conquered.
