The imagery of placing something under one's feet is a common biblical metaphor for subjugation and authority, seen in Joshua 10:24, where defeated kings are placed under the feet of the Israelites. This phrase emphasizes Christ's victory over sin and death, a central theme in 1 Corinthians 15, which discusses the resurrection. Theologically, it underscores the fulfillment of God's plan through Christ, who is the second Adam, restoring what was lost through the first Adam. Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under Him. Persons / Places / Events 1.
