Some think that this means that there will be a day which no day will ever follow, that the judgment will be the last of all days. Now, this is not the necessary conclusion. Paul and Isaiah draw quite different pictures, though the fulfilment of each prophecy is located in the last days. It is evident that the two prophecies refer to two different periods of time, al though both periods are termed the last days. If man had not sinned the present condition of the world would not have been.
Death is one king that reigns during the world s present condition.
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. Nay, by no means. The present evil age will be done, and there will be no longer delay in the coming of a better day. If all things here is to be understood in the absolute sense, then it would do no good to be sober, and watch unto prayer. It is evident that all things is here used in a relative sense, and that it in cludes only those things that have an end.
