What does Phillipians 2:10 say? What does it mean?

Question

How well do you know the Bible? Show me.

Answer 1

God was so completely satisfied with the redemptive work of Christ that He determined that every knee should bow to Him—of beings in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. This does not mean that all these beings will be saved. Those who do not willingly bow the knee to Him now will one day be compelled to do so. Those who will not be reconciled in the day of His grace will be subjugated in the day of His judgment.

Answer 2

For this very reason also God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every [other] name, 10 so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground, 11 and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

It means Jesus should be accorded honor due to his position.

Those "under the ground" are those that have died, Jesus promised:

Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. -John 5:28,29

Those "under the ground" have literally returned to the dust of the earth, they are figuratively in what the Bible calls Sheol or Hades, the common grave of mankind. It is a place of darkness and silence, the dead can't hear or see, they are unconscious. (Psalm 6:5; Job 17:13-16; Ec 9:5-10) So they can't give honor to Jesus. Death is the opposite to life. Jesus promises that the dead will be remembered and resurrected, that is restored to life again, this is in response to "his voice" then they that were "under the ground" will be able to give honor to Jesus.

Answer 3

Thought you'd catch us, didn't you? There is no PhiLLipians 2:10! There is, however, a PhiLipians 2:10. As for it's meaning, it's pretty straightforward: everyone will one "day" have to recognize God's authority.

Answer 4

Jesus is Lord (Philippians 2:10). Christians absolutely should submit to Him (James 4:7). A changed life and submission to Christ's lordship are the result of salvation, not a requirement for salvation.

Answer 5

Phil 2:8-11
being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
KJV

Jesus paid the debt of death incurred by Adam when he submitted to Eve (who was created to be his helper), and ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil in disobedience to God's only law at the time.

Nobody else could pay the debt as Adam was a son of God. It took Jesus, the Son of God who had never sinned to pay this debt.

In paying the debt, he purchased to himself the office of "The Firstborn of All Creation" that Adam lost. Thus, according to the rule of primogeniture (rule of the firstborn), Jesus is the "arche" (highest in order). He is the highest in authority of all men, and was found guilty of BEING The King of the Jews by Rome, he was crucified and resurrected, but having been rejected by the Jews, he is in self-imposed exile while he builds his Kingdom. He'll be returning with those who have believed very soon.

I estimate 12 years from now, but the Bible says not to set dates, I'm just estimating.

Answer 6

bow...confess Cf. Isa 45:23. God's design is that all people everywhere should worship and serve Jesus as Lord. Ultimately all will acknowledge Him as Lord ( see Romans 14:9 ), whether willingly or not.

Answer 7

That at the name of Yashua (Jesus is a misinterpretation) every knee shall bow...things in heaven,and things in earth adn things under the earth.

But verse 11 is the clincher -Every tongue shall confess that Yashua is Lord, to the glory of the Father.

Answer 8

"that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,"
Philippians 2:10

Actually, Paul is rather loosely citing an Old Testament passage referring to Jehovah, or Yahweh, the God of the Bible, and applying it to the Lord Jesus Christ, affirming His divinity.

"Turn to me and be saved,
all you ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other.

By myself I have sworn,
my mouth has uttered in all integrity
a word that will not be revoked:
Before me every knee will bow;
by me every tongue will swear.

They will say of me, 'In the LORD alone
are righteousness and strength.' "
All who have raged against him
will come to him and be put to shame.
(Isaiah 45:22-24)

Answer 9

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Answer 10

When you see one not born of woman, fall on your faces and worship, that is your Father. -- Jesus Christ

Just as I fell on my face to worship God at my Spiritual baptism in His name, I also profusely thanked Jesus Christ for showing me the Way.

And so it Is.
