In biblical eschatology, "the end" signifies the final events of the world as we know it, including the return of Christ, the final judgment, and the establishment of a new heaven and new earth. This aligns with prophetic literature such as <a href="/daniel/12-13.htm">Daniel 12:13</a> and <a href="/revelation/21.htm">Revelation 21:1</a>, which speak of the end times and the ultimate restoration of creation.<p><b>when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father</b><br>This indicates a transfer of authority from Christ to God the Father, signifying the completion of Christ's mediatorial role.

There rises before the prophetic vision of St. Paul the final triumph of Christ over all evil, over all power, and the Son giving up to the Father (not His humanity, which is "for ever and ever"--<a href="/context/luke/1-32.htm" title="He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give to him the throne of his father David:">Luke 1:32-33</a>) the kingdom of this world, which in His humanity He conquered for the Father as well as for Himself. He will, the moment He becomes conqueror, sit down with the Father on His throne. Christ laying the spoils of a conquered world at the foot of the throne of the Father, shows, by that supreme act of self-sacrifice, that in His office as Redeemer He came, not to do His own will, but the will of the Father. In this sense the Son Himself, as Redeemer, is "put under Him"--God is all in all. We must clearly remember that the Apostle is here speaking of the Son as Redeemer, and is not penetrating into the deeper mysteries of the relation of the Persons in the Godhead. (See <a href="/john/17-5.htm" title="And now, O Father, glorify you me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was.">John 17:5</a>; <a href="/hebrews/1-8.htm" title="But to the Son he said, Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom.">Hebrews 1:8</a>.)<p>(24) <span class= "bld">All rule and all authority and power.</span>--<span class= "ital">Not</span> only hostile rule and authority and power, but all intermediate rule of any sort, good and bad. The direct government by God of all creatures is to be at last attained. All the interventions of authority and power which the fall of man rendered necessary will be needless when the complete triumph of Christ comes in. Thus Humanity, having for ages shared the condition of fallen Adam, will be finally restored to the state of unfallen Adam. Man will see God, and be ruled by God face to face.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_corinthians/15.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 24.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The end.</span> That "end of all things," beyond which the vision of Christian eschatology does not look. <span class="cmt_word">When he shall have</span> <span class="cmt_word">delivered up the kingdom to God.</span> The "kingdom" delivered up is not that of the coequal Godhead, but the mediatorial kingdom.
