Are the people in 1 Corinthians 15:23 from the Old Testament economy?
No, the people in 1 Corinthians 15:23 are not from the Old Testament economy. The context states they are not Israel, nor are they out of the Old Testament economy, and they are not in reference to the tribulation still ahead. This company is distinct from that economy.
Les is teaching through 1 Corinthians 15, the great resurrection chapter of Scripture. He has been building up to verse 23, asking where this particular company of people comes from. He explains that they certainly are not Israel, they are not out of the Old Testament economy, and they are not in reference to that which is still ahead, the tribulation. Thus, the people in view are distinct from the Old Testament economy.
But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
