  2. Exposition

What is the present set of circumstances?

Hebrews 2:8 (ESV)

8 putting everything in subjection under his feet.”Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him.

We do not yet see that humanity has put its stamp of authority on reality. The perceived reality on earth stands in contrast to the promised reality of Psalm 8. Humanity has not got everything under control. We humans have failed in our calling.1
