This passage tells us that in the New Earth, angels will not be in authority, redeemed man will. Christ will be on the throne and all His son's and daughter's will be ruling over the new created order with Him. The quote from Psaml 8 is often refered to Jesus and that is the ultimate interpretation but in this quote the writer of Hebrews in saying that redeemed mankind will follow the Lord Jesus being crowned with glory and honor, being over the works of God's hand and all things being put in subjection under his feet, just like Jesus.
Verse 8b says that Jesus through His redemptive work has spiritually put all things under our feet, given us the inheritance of His Kingdom rule, but it is not yet realized in this dispensation. But when we look at what Jesus acomplished through His death, burial and resurection, we see Him crowned with glory and honor and that He did it for us so that we may receive that glory also.
This is a most amazing thing to think about. What blessings are ours in Christ. Like the apostle Paul says in Ephesians 1:2 '...He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ...' This continues through the whole of chapter 1 and concludes in verse 21 with, '...And He put all things under His feet and gave Him to be head over all things TO THE CHURCH which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. We are so blessed to be included in the authority over the redeemed world which will exsist forever with our Lord reigning over all His creation and we by His side. WOW.
