Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:25

For he must reign, until he hath put all enemies under his feet.This has the weight of saying that "Christ must keep on reigning until he hath put down all enemies," with the necessary deduction that he is now reigning over his kingdom which is the church. read more

26. shall be—Greek, "is done away with" (Revelation 20:14; compare Revelation 1:18). It is to believers especially this applies (Revelation 1:18- :); even in the case of unbelievers, death is done away with by the general resurrection. Satan brought in sin, and sin brought in death! So they shall be destroyed (rendered utterly powerless) in the same order (1 Corinthians 15:56; Hebrews 2:14; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10; Revelation 20:14). read more

The certainty of resurrection 15:12-34In the preceding paragraph Paul firmly established that the gospel the Corinthians had believed contained the fact that God had raised Jesus Christ bodily, along with other equally crucial facts. Next he proceeded to show the consequences of rejecting belief in the resurrection of the body."Paul uses reductio ad absurdum: if there is no resurrection (i.e., of believers in the future), then Jesus did not rise (1 Corinthians 15:12-13), a point on which he... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 15:20-28

The positive reality 15:20-28Paul turned next to show that the resurrection of Christ makes the resurrection of believers both necessary and inevitable. The consequences of this fact are as glorious as the effects of His not being raised are dismal. Those "in Christ" must arise since Christ arose.

His resurrection demands our resurrection since... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 15:24-26

The end refers to the end of the present heavens and earth in view of what Paul said about it here. This will come more than 1,000 years after the Rapture. Then Christ, who will have been reigning over His earthly millennial kingdom, will turn over that reign to His Father. Christ’s abolition of all other rule, authority, and power will take place when He subdues the rebels that rise up against Him at the end of the Millennium (Revelation 20:7-10). He will also defeat death, and from then on no... read more
