A Prophecy for Man and Messiah
Commentators explain that the author quotes Psalm 8, which speaks of God's original plan for humanity to have dominion over creation. While this status was marred by sin, the prophecy finds its ultimate and perfect fulfillment in Jesus. He is the ideal 'Man' who not only restores but elevates humanity's intended glory, proving that God's future kingdom is subjected to Him, not angels.
