from then on waiting: Paul continues to refer to Ps 110, which describes the Messiah who, after a period of waiting at God’s right hand of favor, begins ruling as king “in the midst of [his] enemies.” (Ps 110:2) Heb 10:13 indicates that when the letter to the Hebrews was written—almost 30 years after Jesus’ resurrection—the time for Jesus’ installation as King of God’s Kingdom had not yet arrived.
placed as a stool for his feet: As used here, this word picture suggests conquest. In ancient times, a warrior would place his foot on the back of the neck of a defeated enemy as a sign of victory. (Compare Jos 10:22-25; see also study note on Heb 1:13.) This verse refers to Jesus’ conquest of all nations, as prophetically described at Ps 110:1. That psalm shows that after a waiting period, Jesus would be installed as Messianic King and begin his conquest of the nations. They would become “a stool for his feet” in the sense of coming under his control. (Ps 2:1-9; 110:2) At God’s appointed time, Jesus would complete his conquest by destroying all enemy governments.—Ps 110:5, 6; Da 2:44; Re 6:2; 19:15-18.
