Does God do things in an orderly way?
Yes. Scripture presents God as a God of order, not confusion. He organizes resurrection in companies and order, so every person comes forth in His own order or company. The military illustration of company and battalion shows how God keeps everything organized and never acts in a mumble jumble way.
Les teaches that Paul, in 1 Corinthians 15, is making the point that not everyone will be resurrected at the same moment. Verse 23 separates the resurrections, showing that every human being who has ever lived will come out in resurrection in his own order, or his own company. Les illustrates this with the military organization of a company and a battalion, an organizational setup that makes it easy to keep track of everybody. Because God is a God of order, He has everything implicitly organized, and He never does things in a mumble jumble way.
But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
