Hebrews 2:8

Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

hypotassō = "has put" =

To arrange under in subordination.

To subject one's self in obedience.

To submit to one's control.

To yield to one's admonition or advice.

God has left nothing outside the control of his Son, even if presently we have yet to see this accomplished. But we see Jesus, who as a man, lived for a short time lower than the angels and has now been crowned with glorious honor because of what he suffered in his death. For it was by God's grace  that he experienced deaths bitterness on behalf of everyone! For now he towers above all creation, for all things exist through him and for him.  God made him, pioneer  of our salvation, perfect through his sufferings, for this is how he brings many sons and daughters to share in his glory." ~TPT
Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally unlightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God?

He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.

Swallow = bālaʿ =

To swallow down, swallow up, engulf, eat up.
