What does 1 Corinthians 15 mean by "every man in his own order"? This verse-by-verse study reveals the three-stage harvest of mankind — from Christ the firstfruits to the Church Age and beyond.
Starting in 1 Corinthians 15:22, Les Feldick explains that just as all humanity died in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ — including the lost, who will be resurrected to face the Great White Throne judgment. He then unpacks verse 23, where Paul reveals that resurrections happen in a specific order, not all at once. Using Israel's harvest pattern from Leviticus, Les shows how the firstfruits (Christ and the saints who rose after His resurrection), the main harvest (the Church Age), and the gleanings (Old Testament and Tribulation saints) each have their appointed time. Cross-references include John 5:28-29, Matthew 27:51-52, and Daniel 12.
