Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Philippians 2:10

_ _ at the name — rather as Greek, “in the name.”

_ _ bow — rather, “bend,” in token of worship. Referring to Isaiah 45:23; quoted also in Romans 14:11. To worship “in the name of Jesus,” is to worship Jesus Himself (compare Philippians 2:11; Proverbs 18:10), or God in Christ (John 16:23; Ephesians 3:14). Compare “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord (that is, whosoever shall call on the Lord in His revealed character) shall be saved” (Romans 10:13; 1 Corinthians 1:2); “all that call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord” (compare 2 Timothy 2:22); “call on the Lord”; Acts 7:59, “calling upon ... and saying, Lord Jesus” (Acts 9:14, Acts 9:21; Acts 22:16).

_ _ of things in heaven — angels. They worship Him not only as God, but as the ascended God-man, “Jesus” (Ephesians 1:21; Hebrews 1:6; 1 Peter 3:22).

_ _ in earth — men; among whom He tabernacled for a time.

_ _ under the earth — the dead; among whom He was numbered once (Romans 14:9, Romans 14:11; Ephesians 4:9, Ephesians 4:10; Revelation 5:13). The demons and the lost may be included indirectly, as even they give homage, though one of fear, not love, to Jesus (Mark 3:11; Luke 8:31; James 2:19, see on Philippians 2:11).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Philippians 2:1-11.

(k) All creatures will at length be subject to Christ.
