What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid
By David's words "until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet," Peter instilled fear in them as a means of conquering them. And so as not to undermine their faith in him, he ascribes everything to the Father. After having spoken of great matters, he brings his discourse back again to the deeds of Jesus' humility. And who these enemies are, the apostle explains, crying out: "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death, for He hath put all things under His feet" (1 Cor. 15:26–27).
Oecumenius
And he sets before them a fear by the phrase, "until I make your enemies." And so that they may not disbelieve, he assigns the submission to the Father.
Western Saints
Bede
"Until I make your enemies your footstool." This is what Peter elsewhere said about the Lord: "Whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things" (Acts III). For then, when all times of refreshing come from the presence of the Lord, He will send Jesus Christ, who was preached to us from royal thrones, to judge the living and the dead (Wisdom XVIII).
