Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Corinthians 15:24

"Then [cometh] the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power." — 1 Corinthians 15:24 (ASV)

All rule and all authority and power. This refers to not only hostile rule, authority, and power, but all intermediate rule of any sort, good and bad.

The direct government by God of all creatures is to be attained at last. All the interventions of authority and power, which the fall of man made necessary, will be needless when the complete triumph of Christ comes.

Thus, humanity, having for ages shared the condition of fallen Adam, will finally be restored to the state of unfallen Adam. Man will see God and be ruled by God face to face.

On verses 24-28:

When he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father. The Apostle carries on the thought of a triumph which the use of the word “troop” in the previous verse had begun or suggested. 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 the kingdom of this world (not His humanity, which is for ever and ever—Luke 1:32–33), 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 Father's throne 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 (Hebrews 1:8).
