What happens after everything is subdued to Christ — does the Son Himself become subject to God?
Yes. After all things are subdued under Christ, there comes a point in time—possibly at the onset of eternity—when the Son Himself also becomes subject to the One who put all things under Him. Thus Christ gives everything up to the Godhead, so that God may be all in all.
Les explains that this verse is mind-boggling and that every word is the Word of God, so it cannot be sloughed off. He notes the sequence: all principalities, powers, kingdoms, and even death come under Christ's supreme rule. After everything has been subdued unto Him, there is another time word—a coming point in time, which Les thinks may be the onset of eternity. At that point, the Son also Himself will be subject unto Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all. Les concludes that after everything is put under Christ's feet and He becomes all in all, there is coming a day when even Christ will evidently give everything up to the Godhead. He says he must be careful because highly educated theologians may be listening, but he will not compromise.
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Will Christ Himself ever become subject to God the Father?
Yes. Scripture teaches that after all things are subdued under Christ, there comes a point when the Son Himself will be subject to the One who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all. This will occur at a point in time, perhaps at the onset of eternity.
Will Christ eventually hand everything back over to the Godhead?
Yes. After all things are subdued under Christ, the Son Himself will be subject to the One who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all. There comes a point when Christ gives everything up to the Godhead.
