Les explains that with 1 Corinthians 15:23, the resurrection of the just has been completed. At that point the Kingdom is now set up, and everything is ready to go for the thousand-year rule and reign of Christ. He emphasizes that this reign will be on the earth, a concept many people do not have. The Kingdom he refers to is the only valid Kingdom in Scripture, the final thousand-year reign of Christ, when He will finally be King of kings and Lord of lords. He also notes that the thousand years is not the end but an introduction to the eternal state, as this earthly Kingdom comes into focus in Scriptural teaching.
But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
