The Bible Study New Testament

1 Corinthians 15:24

Then the end will come. The world's history and time itself will terminate as Christ Comes, the dead rise, and Judgment takes place. Christ will overcome. He has ALREADY won the victory (see note on Revelation 20:1-3), yet he does not completely destroy his enemies until the right time. Compare 1 Corinthians 15:26. And hand over the Kingdom. Jesus is NOW crowned as King (Hebrews 2:9) in the Kingdom which is called: "all authority in heaven and on earth" (Matthew 28:18). Salvation puts us in his Kingdom (Colossians 1:13). But Christ's mission of "putting men right with God" will terminate at the Coming. With his mission completed, he will hand over the Kingdom to God the Father. Compare 1 Corinthians 15:28.
