What Does Hebrews 10:13 Mean?
The verse completes the thought of the One seated at God's right hand. Drawing on the language of Psalm 110, it shows the enthroned Christ now waiting for the full subjection of all that opposes Him.
His waiting is not anxious but certain. The victory is already won at the cross; what remains is its open unfolding in time, until every enemy lies beneath His feet. The image of the footstool speaks of total triumph, sure to come. For those who trust Him, this is great comfort: the Lord who finished the work of salvation also reigns over its outcome, and the end is not in doubt.
