Ephesians 1:7-9 . . . In Him we have redemption through His blood, the for-giveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, 8 which He [GTF] lavished upon us [royal family]. In all wisdom [B.D.] and insight [Divine viewpoint] 9 He made known to us [royal family] the mystery of His [GTF] will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him [J.C.].

Ephesians 1:10 . . . with a view [with reference] to an administration [dispensation] suitable to the fullness of the times, that is the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things upon the earth.

1 Corinthians 15:22-26 . . . For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming, 24 then comes the end, when He delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
