Feet (Under)
Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types
or 2 Samuel 22:10 (a) This figure is used to describe the complete control that GOD will have and does have over His enemies. No one can successfully fight against GOD. In His own good time, He triumphs completely and every enemy is crushed. (See also Psalm 18:9).
2 Samuel 22:39 (a) The thought in this passage is quite similar to the one above. GOD controls the actions of His enemies, as He pleases, and forces them to obey His will. This truth is to be seen in the case of the King of Babylon whom GOD described as His "battle ax" to subdue the nations. Having accomplished this purpose, GOD destroyed the Babylonian empire. (See also Psalm 91:13).
Psalm 8:6 (a) GOD has made the Lord JESUS CHRIST the sovereign Lord over all creation. Every knee must bow to Him, and every tongue must confess to Him. Every voice is to acclaim Him Lord of all. (See1Co 15:25-27; Ephesians 1:22; Hebrews 2:8).
Romans 16:20 (a) GOD will yet triumph overall the plans of the devil, and will subdue Satan and his hosts. (See also Genesis 3:15).
Revelation 12:1 (a) Probably the description that is given is to inform us that this woman is the nation of Israel. This nation began as we read in Genesis 37:7, Genesis 37:9. In this passage, the sun represents Jacob, the father, the moon represents Joseph's mother, the stars represent the other brothers. For that reason in the passage before us, the Lord is identifying the woman as the one represented by those figures way back in Jacob's day.
