Philippians 2:10

“that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth”

“In the name of Jesus”: This does not mean that we must bow every time someone mentions the name "Jesus", instead “in virtue and in recognition of all that He is and of all that He has done” (Erdman p. 86). Everyone is obligated to admit the authority of Jesus Christ and submit to His will. “Every knee should bow”: The Father expects all to "worship" the Son. That demands that Jesus is Divine (Matthew 4:4). “Should”: The Father knows that many will not bow to His Son (Matthew 7:13; 2 Peter 3:9). “Things in heaven”: All the angels (Hebrews 1:6). “Things on earth”: All human beings. Carefully note: This is one more Scripture that asserts that Jesus Christ is the only way to God (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). There is no room for Buddha, Mohammed, Krishna, or other "Lords". The Bible is adamant concerning the fact that one cannot please God and yet at the same time ignore Jesus Christ (Matthew 10:40). “Things under the earth”: Some say evil spirits or the dead. The point being that the whole universe, both spiritual and physical, is to bow before the Son of God.

Right now, we have the choice to submit to Jesus or not. We can of our own freewill humbly and honestly admit the obvious, that Jesus is Lord. But one day, everyone "will" bow (Romans 14:11), and everyone will address and acknowledge Him as "the Lord" (Matthew 7:21). Yet then, for some it will be too late. At times we will encounter someone who defiantly claims, “I will never be convinced that Jesus is Divine”. The response of the Christian, “Oh yes you will! There will be no atheists or nonbelievers on the Judgment Day! At this day all contradiction will cease. Every enemy and opponent will be silenced.
