Again, depends on what commentary you see.

I have read some who view the enmity as the struggle between Jesus and Satan. Some as the state of fallen mankind struggling with God (as those who follow the devil are called the "sons of Belial"), or that the now fallen world is in a state of war with God that did not exist pre fall.

Heck read Augustine. He has a number of possible definitions of what it could be, of which more than one could be true.
