What Does It Mean That Christ Will Be Subject to God After All Things Are Subdued?

Direct Answer

Yes, after all things are subdued under Christ, the Son Himself will be subject to the Father, so that God may be all in all.

Les Feldick teaches that after Christ's complete rule and reign, which continues into eternity, there comes a point where the Son voluntarily places Himself under the Father. This is a profound truth that emphasizes God's ultimate sovereignty, fulfilling the purpose that God may be all in all. The exact timing is not specified, but the certainty of this event is clear from Scripture.

Key Scriptures

1 Corinthians 15:28 — This is the key verse that directly states the Son will be subject to God after all things are subdued.

What Does the Bible Say About Christ's Subjection?

The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 that Christ will deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father, after He has put down all rule, authority, and power. He must reign until He has put all enemies under His feet, the last enemy being death. After all things are subdued unto Him, the Son Himself will also be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all. This passage emphasizes the ultimate supremacy of God the Father, to whom the Son Himself will be subject in the eternal state.

What Does Les Feldick Teach About Christ's Subjection After All Things Are Subdued?

Les Feldick explains that after Christ's millennium reign and the defeat of all enemies, including death, there is a further step in God's plan. He teaches that Christ's rule on David's throne continues beyond the thousand years into eternity, as prophesied in Isaiah 9:7. However, even after His complete and absolute reign, the Son will subject Himself to the Father, so that God may be all in all. Les emphasizes that this is a mind-stretching truth that we should not dismiss, but rather ponder the greatness of God's plan.

When Does This Subjection Happen?

The precise timing of when Christ will be subject to God is not explicitly stated in Scripture. Les Feldick suggests it may be at the beginning of eternity, but the main point is that such a moment is still coming. After Christ has subdued all things under His feet, the ultimate result will be that God is all in all.

Does Christ's Reign Continue Into Eternity?

Yes, Les Feldick teaches that Christ's reign on David's throne continues forever, not just for a thousand years. The thousand years is just an introductory period into eternity. After the new heaven and new earth, the kingdom continues on into eternity, with Christ ruling on David's throne forever.

What Is the Final Enemy That Must Be Subdued?

The final enemy that must be defeated is death. After Christ has shown His authority and power, He must defeat death, which is the last enemy. All things must be consummated in order for Christ to bring full understanding of who He is to believers and the angelic hosts.

Bible Verses

1 Corinthians 15:24-28: Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 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.

This passage is the core of the question, explicitly stating the Son's subjection after all things are subdued.

Isaiah 9:7: Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
