(1Co 15:22) For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
(1Co 15:23) But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
(1Co 15:24) 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.

If I were postmil, I would die on this hill. It is too dominion-oriented. But I won't go there. What George Ladd and others argue, however, is that 23-24 posit a break. Logically speaking, it is not wrong to argue for an intererim between v. 23 and . 24. But this is too contested a ground.
