The Last Enemy Destroyed

20 But now aChrist is risen from the dead, and has become bthe firstfruits of those who have1 fallen asleep.  
21 For asince by man came death, bby Man also came the resurrection of the dead.  
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall abe made alive.  
23 But aeach one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.  
24 Then comes the end, when He delivers athe kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.  
25 For He must reign atill He has put all enemies under His feet.  
26 aThe last enemy that will be destroyed is death.  
27 For a“He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.

What Does 1 Corinthians 15:22 Mean?

Others besides believers will be called until Christ defeats all enemies of God's rule. Everyone who has conformed to the image of Satan is an enemy, so God will eventually call all mankind and confront each person about who their sovereign is. Just as Satan has deceived the whole world, in His time God will call the whole world.




1 Corinthians 15:20-23

Jesus Christ, the first of the firstfruits, willingly gave His life so others may receive forgiveness of sin. He was a holy, sinless sacrifice, and three days later, He was the first person resurrected to eternal life! In this, He fulfilled the symbolism of the wavesheaf offering.

1 Corinthians 15:22-25

These verses conclusively reveal that others will be called besides us, until Christ defeats all enemies of God's rule. Because every person who has conformed to the image of Satan is an enemy, God will eventually call all of mankind and confront each one about who their sovereign is! As Satan has deceived "the whole world" (Revelation 12:9), so in His time will God call the whole world.
