The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.

'abolished' -2673. katargeo kat-arg-eh'-o; from 2596 and 691; to be (render) entirely idle (useless), literally or figuratively: -abolish, cease, cumber, deliver, destroy, do away, become (make) of no (none, without) effect, fail, loose, bring (come) to nought, put away (down), vanish away, make void.

'death' -And when and how is death destroyed? AT THE GENERAL RESURRECTION! Now we see another reason why the denial of the resurrection is so dangerous. Such. denial completely undermines God's ultimate purpose. Everything can't be set right again, UNTIL, death is completely vanquished. Meaning that death has lost every victim it has ever claimed. Christ's present reign will end will the last body leaves the tomb. But all this is LINKED WITH the resurrection.

Point to Note:

The resurrection of Christ was the decisive victory against the forces of evil. (Colossians 2:15; 1 Peter 3:22; Matthew 28:18; Revelation 1:18) Death has already lost the battle (2 Timothy 1:10). Which means, if you are in opposition to God, you are fighting. lost war and. hopeless cause.
