Christ Then God’s Election Then The Rest Of The Creator’s Creatures

English “then” emboldened in James 3:17 was translated from Greek adverb 1899 epeita denoting a sequence of events that best reflects God’s definition translated into English “afterward” in 1Corinthians 15:23 in the context of  1Corinthians 15:22-25 “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive” “But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming” “Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power” “For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet”. Understand that “the firstfruits” emboldened in 1Corinthians 15:22-25 are God’s “seven thousand” “elect” “election” “they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.
