MANIFEST THAT HE IS EXCEPTED,
WHICH DID PUT ALL THINGS UNDER
HIM.
Hold your place there and go to
Ephesians 1:19-23:
7 AFTER THAT, HE WAS SEEN OF JAMES;
THEN OF ALL THE APOSTLES.
8 AND LAST OF ALL HE WAS SEEN OF
ME ALSO, AS OF ONE BORN OUT OF DUE
TIME.
Now let's read verses 20-24:
20 BUT NOW IS CHRIST RISEN FROM
THE DEAD, AND BECOME THE
FIRSTFRUITS OF THEM THAT SLEPT.
21 FOR SINCE BY MAN CAME DEATH, BY
MAN CAME ALSO THE RESURRECTION
OF THE DEAD.
22 FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN
CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE.
23 BUT EVERY MAN IN HIS OWN ORDER:
CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS; AFTERWARD
THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S AT HIS
COMING.
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.
There it is.

22
AND HATH PUT ALL THINGS UNDER
HIS FEET, AND GAVE HIM TO BE THE
HEAD OVER ALL THINGS TO THE
CHURCH,
23 WHICH IS HIS BODY, THE FULNESS OF
HIM THAT FILLETH ALL IN ALL.
Now turn to Chapter 2:4-6:
4 BUT GOD, WHO IS RICH IN MERCY, FOR
HIS GREAT LOVE WHEREWITH HE
LOVED US,
5 EVEN WHEN WE WERE DEAD IN SINS,
HATH QUICKENED US TOGETHER WITH
CHRIST, (BY GRACE YE ARE SAVED;)
6 AND HATH RAISED US UP TOGETHER,
AND MADE US SIT TOGETHER IN
HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST JESUS.
25 FOR HE MUST REIGN, TILL HE HATH
PUT ALL ENEMIES UNDER HIS FEET.
26 THE LAST ENEMY THAT SHALL BE
DESTROYED IS DEATH.
27 FOR HE HATH PUT ALL THINGS
UNDER HIS FEET. BUT WHEN HE SAITH
ALL THINGS ARE PUT UNDER HIM, IT IS
