The "time" is difficult, because time is secondary to the system. Aspect is primary. So notice in the first clause of 15:25: δεῖ γὰρ αὐτὸν βασιλεύειν ("It is necessary for him to be reigning"). The reigning takes place concurrently. And then the different tenses used to describe the enemies being placed under Christ's feet: aorist subjunctive with "until" in v25, containing the future idea, but aorist without any temporal conjunction in v27 indicating a (perhaps) already completed reality. Bottom line, the already and not yet is all over these verses, a fact summerized rather efficiently in the opening of this section: Ἕκαστος δὲ ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ τάγματι· ἀπαρχὴ Χριστός, ἔπειτα οἱ τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ αὐτοῦ Possibly.

Batzig Wed, 13 May 2009 17:21:40 +0000 http://nerdlets.org/?p=1585#comment-808 I like it! Thanks for posting it. Keep em' coming brother! The only question I have is in regard to the 'until' of verse 25. "He must reign until..." Would this not constitute a "futuristic idea" of verse 26? Anyway, all good amillennialists should be excited about this one. I like it! Thanks for posting it. Keep em' coming brother! The only question I have is in regard to the 'until' of verse 25.
