Are all the resurrections going to happen at one event, and who comprised the First Fruits?
No, they are not all at one event. Paul sets an order: first Christ, the First Fruits, and afterwards those who are Christ's at His coming. The First Fruits comprised Christ when He rose and the Jewish believers who came out of the graves in Matthew 27.
Les explains that Paul shifts gears at 1 Corinthians 15:20 to break down how the resurrections will take place. They are not all at one event. The First Fruits occurred when Christ rose from the dead, along with those Jewish believers who came out of the graves in Matthew 27, and they comprised the First Fruits. Then Paul says in verse 23 that every man is in his own order: first Christ, the First Fruits, and afterwards those who are Christ's at His coming, which would be the believers of the church age.
