At the moment we do not see everything subject to man. In fact we see man subject to all sorts of things. However, we do see Jesus. When we see Jesus we see what we should have been like, and we also see what we will become like.
Jesus is representative of man. As Paul says in 1 Corinthians, He is the second Adam. Jesus was made lower than the angels. He was subject to all that we are subject to, even to death. But now He is crowned with glory and honour. He received this honour because He was prepared to go the cross. When He went to the cross He tasted death for all of us.
The whole message here is that Jesus is representative of us all. We are not to focus on angels. If we look at angles we beings that are different from us, and that we can never become like. When we see Jesus we see what we will become like. Moreover, Jesus is greater than angels.
