While He has the whole world in His hands it is not all under His feet

Tomorrows  epistle reading is typical  for feast days:
Hebrews 2:2-10
BRETHREN, if the message declared by angels was valid and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard him, while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his own will. For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. It has been testified somewhere, "What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou carest for him? Thou didst make him for a little while lower than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honor, putting everything in subjection under his feet." Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. But we see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one. For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering

To tie this in to the kingdom of God post...  Here we have a theological  account of what  Christ did. Everything is in God's hands.  However not everything  is under his feet- that is subjected to Him.  Evil  happens in this world by God's permission and providence.  The kosmos  was subjected to  powers hostile to God's rule (Gal.4:4-7,19; Col.1:15).  The world then is not under his feet (I Cor.15:22-28).  Christ on the Cross however did  subject  potentially everything to God.  When  He returns,  St. Paul tells us,  everything will be subjected to  Him.  In the meantime we will experience  suffering  as Christ did.  For the suffering ," of this world is not worthy to be compared to the glory which shall be revealed in us." (Rom.8:17-18)
So  let us rejoice that He has the whole world in His hands, yet wait  for all to be subjected to Him.
