Hebrews 2:8 Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he subjected all things unto him, he left nothing that is not subject to him.

For in making man the ruler over all things, God did not put anything outside his authority; though we do not see everything under him now.
Hebrews 2:9 But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, [even] Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every [man].
