even so, &c. = so in Christ also. Christ also has. relationship to the human race. It is that of Lordship (Romans 14:9). This is acknowledged by some now (John 13:13; John 20:28), and brings salvation (Romans 10:9). It is the work of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:3).

But this Lordship shall one day be asserted and acknowledged by all, including the arch-rebel himself (Psalms 2:6; Psalms 2:7; Philippians 1:2; Philippians 1:9.Revelation 19:16; Revelation 19:16). To this end all must be raised.
