What does 1 Corinthians 15:28 mean?
This section sketches out an order of events that will unfold when Christ returns. It begins with the point of the passage: that all who belong to Christ will be resurrected, bodily, when Christ returns. Next, Christ will defeat every power or authority of any kind until He rules every corner of the world. God the Father's authority will make it possible for Christ to rule in this way, even defeating death itself. Christ will reign over the entire kingdom until, when all is conquered, He will deliver it to the Father. Then Christ will be under the authority of the Father who made it possible for Christ to be in authority over everything else (1 Corinthians 15:22–27).The final goal of this, and the purpose of all of history and the lives of all who are in Christ and of Christ Himself, is that God will be "all in all." In other words, God's glory will reign supreme over the entire universe.
