make Thine enemies Thy footstool = set Thine enemies [as] a footstool for Thy feet. In the New Testament, Greek = tithemi (2 aor. subj.) = "shall have placed". 1 Corinthians 15:25 is the exception, where it is not "set as a footstool", but put "under", because Christ's session on His own throne (Matthew 25:31 .Revelation 3:21; Revelation 3:21 ) is there referred to, instead of His session on His Father's throne, as in all the other quotations.
