1 Corinthians 15:16-28

In reference to the resurrection, notice the chronological order given: 1. Christ the firstfruits (vs23), 2. Christ reigning at the right hand of God the Father progressively deafeating His enemies until even death it self is subdued (vs25,26). [We are obviously in this stage.] 3. Christ’s second coming (vs23), 4. The bodily resurrection after the manner of Christ's (the firstfruits) and then comes the end (vss23,24). 5. Christ delivers the kingdom to God the Father, since Christ no longer needs to reign in the sense of subduing His enemies, they would have all been subdued at this point.

A full preterist cannot accept this obvious understanding of this passage. It's also the strongest passage laying out a Postmillenial (or optimistic Amillenial) chronology of events.
