Christ having all things under His feet means God has placed Him in absolute dominion as head over all things for the Church.
Scripture says God raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand above every principality, power, might, dominion, and every name named, in this world and the world to come (Eph 1:20-21). Then it says plainly that God put all things under His feet and gave Him to be the head over all things to the Church, His body (Eph 1:22-23). Les Feldick emphasizes that Christ is above everything named and will exercise absolute power when His kingdom is set up.
Ephesians 1:22 — The exact biblical statement that God has put all things under Christ's feet and made Him head over the Church.
Ephesians 1:20-23 says that God worked His mighty power in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places. Verse 21 declares that He is far above every principality, power, might, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world but also in the world to come. Verse 22 then states that God "hath put all things under his feet," and gave Him to be the head over all things to the Church. Verse 23 calls the Church His body, "the fulness of him that filleth all in all."
Les Feldick reads these Ephesians verses as describing Christ's present position in the heavenlies. He emphasizes that Christ is above everything that is named, not only in this world but also in that which is to come (Clip 2). Les points out that God has put all things under Christ's feet and has given Him to be Head over all things to the Church, which is His Body (Clips 1, 5). When Christ sets up His kingdom, His power will be absolute, total, and glorious (Clip 4). Les also teaches that the Church is an Ecclesia with its Head in heaven and its body on earth, and the two cannot be separated (Clip 6). The Church is the complement of Christ; He does not consider Himself complete until the Body is in His presence (Clips 3, 5). As members of the Body, believers are under Christ's headship and are joint heirs with Him (Clip 7).
God has put all things under Christ's feet (Eph 1:22). This is part of the same working of God's power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenlies (Eph 1:20). Les emphasizes that Christ is above everything that is named, not only in this world but also in that which is to come, and that when Christ sets up His kingdom His power will be absolute and total (Clips 2, 4).
Ephesians 1:21 says Christ is far above all principality, power, might, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world but also in that which is to come. Les points out that this is Christ's position—He is above everything that is named (Clip 2). This means no authority in the present age or the age to come is above Him.
The same verse that says all things are under Christ's feet also says God gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him that fills all in all (Eph 1:22-23). Les explains that the Church is an Ecclesia, a called-out assembly, with Christ as Head in heaven and the body on earth, and the two cannot be separated (Clip 6). He also says Christ does not consider Himself complete until the Body is in His presence (Clips 3, 5). Members of the Body are under Christ's headship and are joint heirs with Him (Clip 7).
Resurrection Power and Christ's Position
Les shows that resurrection is the high point of God's power and that after raising Christ, God set Him at His own right hand in the heavenlies (Ephesians 1:20).
All Things Under His Feet
Les quotes Ephesians 1:19-23, showing that God raised Christ, seated Him above every name, put all things under His feet, and made Him head over all things to the Church.
Far Above Every Name
Les emphasizes that Christ is above everything that is named, not only in this world but also in the world to come (Ephesians 1:21).
The Church as Christ's Complement
Les explains that God has put all things under Christ's feet and made Him head over the Church, His body, and that Christ does not consider Himself complete until His blood-bought Church is with Him.
Absolute Kingdom Power
Les contrasts Satan's limited control with the absolute, total, and glorious power Christ will exercise when He sets up His kingdom.
Head Over All Things to the Church
Les unpacks Ephesians 1:22-23, explaining that the Church is Christ's body and that 'fullness' means Christ will consider Himself complete when the Body is in His presence.
The Ecclesia with Head in Heaven
Les teaches that the Church is a called-out assembly with Christ as its Head in heaven and the body on earth, and that the two cannot be separated.
Headship over the Body of Christ
Les explains that while Christ reigns over Israel and the earth, members of the Body of Christ are under His headship and are joint heirs with Him.
Ephesians 1:20: Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Shows the resurrection power by which God gave Christ His exalted position.
Ephesians 1:21: Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Shows Christ is above every rule and authority in this age and the next.
Ephesians 1:22: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
The exact statement that all things are under Christ's feet and He is head over the church.
Ephesians 1:23: Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Identifies the church as Christ's body and His fullness, the reason for His headship over all things.
It means God has given Christ total dominion. Scripture says God raised Him from the dead, seated Him at His right hand above every power and name, and put all things under His feet (Ephesians 1:20-22). Les Feldick emphasizes that when Christ sets up His kingdom, His power will be absolute and total.
Yes. Ephesians 1:21 says Christ is far above all principality, power, might, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world but also in the world to come. Les points out that this means Christ is above everything that is named.
God has given Christ to be head over all things to the Church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all (Ephesians 1:22-23). Les Feldick teaches that the Church is the complement of Christ and that He does not consider Himself complete until the Body is in His presence.
