Brief Review:
Previously it was explained the reasoning behind:
why the Lord God Almighty will be referred to using the Tetragrammaton, YHVH;
why Jesus will be called by His Hebrew name, Yeshua;
why almost all of the Scriptures will be cited from the Young's Literal Translation (YLT); and,
why almost all of the definitions for the words in the English translations will be from the New Strong's Expanded Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible.
Foundational Events Leading Up to Yeshua's Last Passover
To understand what Yeshua - "finished" - we must start at the very beginning (a very good place to start):
Genesis 1:27-31 YLT
(27) And God prepareth the man in His image; in the image of God He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them.
(28) And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth.'
(29) And God saith, 'Lo, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for food;
(30) and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which is breath of life, every green herb is for food:' and it is so.
(31) And God seeth all that He hath done, and lo, very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—day the sixth.
But not all of YHVH's sons were happy, in spite of their privileged estate.
Ezekiel 28:11-19 YLT
(11) And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
(12) 'Son of man, lift up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, And thou hast said to him: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Thou art sealing up a measurement, Full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
(13) In Eden, the garden of God, thou hast been, Every precious stone thy covering, Ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle, and gold, The workmanship of thy tabrets, and of thy pipes, In thee in the day of thy being produced, have been prepared.
(14) Thou art an anointed cherub who is covering, And I have set thee in the holy mount, God thou hast been, In the midst of stones of fire thou hast walked up and down.
(15) Perfect art thou in thy ways, From the day of thy being produced, Till perversity hath been found in thee.
(16) By the abundance of thy merchandise They have filled thy midst with violence, And thou dost sin, And I thrust thee from the mount of God, And I destroy thee, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire.
(17) High hath been thy heart, because of thy beauty, Thou hast corrupted thy wisdom because of thy brightness, On the earth I have cast thee, Before kings I have set thee, to look on thee,
(18) From the abundance of thy iniquity, By the perversity of thy traffic, Thou hast polluted thy sanctuaries, And I bring forth fire from thy midst, It hath devoured thee, And I make thee become ashes on the earth, Before the eyes of all beholding thee.
(19) All knowing thee among the peoples Have been astonished at thee, Wastes thou hast been, and thou art not—to the age.'
Isaiah 14:12-15 YLT
(12) How hast thou fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the dawn! Thou hast been cut down to earth, O weakener of nations.
(13) And thou saidst in thy heart: the heavens I go up, Above stars of God I raise my throne, And I sit in the mount of meeting in the sides of the north.
(14) I go up above the heights of a thick cloud, I am like to the Most High.
(15) Only—unto Sheol thou art brought down, Unto the sides of the pit.

Yeshua, speaking of this event, said:
Luke 10:18 YLT
(18) and he said to them, 'I was beholding the Adversary G4567 , as lightning from the heaven having fallen;
Genesis 2:15-17 YLT
(15) And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it.
(16) And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat;
(17) and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it—dying thou dost die.'
Genesis 3:1-6 YLT
(1) And the serpent hath been subtile above every beast of the field which Jehovah God hath made, and he saith unto the woman, 'Is it true that God hath said, Ye do not eat of every tree of the garden?'
(2) And the woman saith unto the serpent, 'Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we do eat,
(3) and of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden God hath said, Ye do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest ye die.'
(4) And the serpent saith unto the woman, 'Dying, ye do not die,
(5) for God doth know that in the day of your eating of it—your eyes have been opened, and ye have been as God, knowing good and evil.'
(6) And the woman seeth that the tree is good for food, and that it is pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make one wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat;
QUESTION:
Who occupied the serpent’s physical body?
2 Corinthians 11:3 YLT
(3) and I fear, lest, as the serpent did beguile Eve in his subtilty, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in the Christ;
Revelation 12:9 YLT
(9) and the great dragon was cast forth—the old serpent, who is called 'Devil,' and 'the Adversary,' who is leading astray the whole world—he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him.
Revelation 20:2 YLT
(2) and he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, who is Devil and Adversary, and did bind him a thousand years,
Genesis 3:22-23 YLT
(22) And Jehovah God saith, 'Lo, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and have taken also of the tree of life, and eaten, and lived to the age,' —
(23) Jehovah God sendeth him forth from the garden of Eden to serve the ground from which he hath been taken;
In his disobedience, Adam lost the perfection given him at his creation.
Adam, and his children - all mankind, was now imperfect, blemished, unfit to be in YHVH's presence.
YHVH not only made His view of this clear when instructing the Israelites concerning their sacrifices, but also established the conditions for the redemption of Adam and all mankind:
Leviticus 1:1-4 YLT
(1) And Jehovah calleth unto Moses, and speaketh unto him out of the tent of meeting, saying,
(2) 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Any man of you when he doth bring near an offering to Jehovah, out of the cattle—out of the herd, or out of the flock—ye do bring near your offering.
(3) 'If his offering is a burnt-offering out of the herd—a male, a perfect one, he doth bring near, unto the opening of the tent of meeting he doth bring it near, at his pleasure, before Jehovah;
(4) and he hath laid his hand on the head of the burnt-offering, and it hath been accepted for him to make atonement for him;
Satan was not ignored for his role in this:
Genesis 3:14-15 YLT
(14) And Jehovah God saith unto the serpent, 'Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field: on thy belly dost thou go, and dust thou dost eat, all days of thy life;
(15) and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee—the head, and thou dost bruise him—the heel.'
True to YHVH's Word, Adam died:
2 Peter 3:8 YLT
(8) And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day;
Genesis 5:5 YLT
(5) And all the days of Adam which he lived are nine hundred and thirty years, and he dieth.
The Bible teaches us that Satan challenged YHVH, in front of other angels, alleging that every human would choose to remain alive instead of dying in faithfulness to YHVH:
Job 2:1-5 YLT
(1) And the day is, that sons of God come in to station themselves by Jehovah, and there doth come also the Adversary in their midst to station himself by Jehovah.
(2) And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, 'Whence camest thou?' And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, 'From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down in it.'
(3) And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, 'Hast thou set thy heart unto My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil? and still he is keeping hold on his integrity, and thou dost move Me against him to swallow him up for nought!'
(4) And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, 'A skin for a skin, and all that a man hath he doth give for his life.
(5) Yet, put forth, I pray Thee, Thy hand, and strike unto his bone and unto his flesh—if not: unto Thy face he doth bless Thee!'
Satan's work to win his challenge extended even to Yeshua:
Matthew 3:13 thru Matthew 4:11 YLT
(13) Then cometh Yeshua from Galilee upon the Jordan, unto John to be baptized by him,
(14) but John was forbidding him, saying, 'I have need by thee to be baptized—and thou dost come unto me!'
(15) But Yeshua answering said to him, 'Suffer now, for thus it is becoming to us to fulfil all righteousness,' then he doth suffer him.
(16) And having been baptized, Yeshua went up immediately from the water, and lo, opened to him were the heavens, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him,
(17) and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, 'This is My Son—the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'
(1) Then Yeshua was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,
(2) and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he did hunger.
(3) And the Tempter having come to him said, 'If Son thou art of God—speak that these stones may become loaves.'
(4) But he answering said, 'It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.'
(5) Then doth the Devil take him to the holy city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
(6) and saith to him, 'If Son thou art of God—cast thyself down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up, that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.'
(7) Yeshua said to him again, 'It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'
(8) Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,
(9) and saith to him, 'All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me.'
(10) Then saith Yeshua to him, 'Go—Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.'
(11) Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him.
Satan even corrupted one of Yeshua’s own disciples:
John 13:16-27 YLT
(16) verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;
(17) if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;
(18) not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.
(19) 'From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am he ;
(20) verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'
(21) These things having said, Yeshua was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;'
(22) the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh.
(23) And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Yeshua, whom Yeshua was loving;
(24) Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh,
(25) and that one having leant back on the breast of Yeshua, respondeth to him, 'Sir, who is it?'
(26) Yeshua answereth, 'That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth it to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.
(27) And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Yeshua, therefore, saith to him, 'What thou dost—do quickly;'
As humans, we can't help but wonder why YHVH put up with all this from Satan, when He could have destroyed Satan with just a thought.
In His mercy, YHVH explains this to us:
Isaiah 55:8-9 YLT
(8) For not My thoughts are your thoughts, Nor your ways My ways, —an affirmation of Jehovah,
(9) For high have the heavens been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above your thoughts.
Deuteronomy 32:3-4 YLT
(3) For the Name of Jehovah I proclaim, Ascribe ye greatness to our God!
(4) The Rock! —perfect is His work, For all His ways are just; God of stedfastness, and without iniquity: Righteous and upright is He.
Just how did YHVH plan to rectify this problem between His perfection, mankind's IMperfection and Satan's rebellion?
Ecclesiastes 7:20 YLT
(20) Because there is not a righteous man on earth that doth good and sinneth not.
Isaiah 64:6 YLT
(6) And we are as unclean—all of us, And as a garment passing away, all our righteous acts; And we fade as a leaf—all of us. And our iniquities as wind do take us away.
Romans 3:23 YLT
(23) for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God—
2 Peter 3:9 YLT
(9) the Lord is not slow in regard to the promise, as certain count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not counselling any to be lost but all to pass on to reformation,
John 1:1-18 YLT
(1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;
(2) this one was in the beginning with God;
(3) all things through him did happen, and without him happened not even one thing that hath happened.
(4) In him was life, and the life was the light of men,
(5) and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it.
(6) There came a man—having been sent from God—whose name is John,
(7) this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;
(8) that one was not the Light, but—that he might testify about the Light.
(9) He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;
(10) in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:
(11) to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him;
(12) but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in his name,
(13) who—not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but—of God were begotten.
(14) And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.
(15) John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, 'This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;'
(16) and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;
(17) for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Yeshua Christ did come;
(18) God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father—he did declare.
John 3:16-21 YLT
(16) for God did so love the world, that His Son—the only begotten—He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.
(17) For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him;
(18) he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
(19) 'And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;
(20) for every one who is doing wicked things hateth the light, and doth not come unto the light, that his works may not be detected;
(21) but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.'
John 3:27-36 YLT
(27) John answered and said, 'A man is not able to receive anything, if it may not have been given him from the heaven;
(28) ye yourselves do testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am having been sent before him;
(29) he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy doth rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy hath been fulfilled.
(30) 'Him it behoveth to increase, and me to become less;
(31) he who from above is coming is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaketh; he who from the heaven is coming is above all.
(32) 'And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth;
(33) he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;
(34) for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for not by measure doth God give the Spirit;
(35) the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand;
(36) he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'
Colossians 1:12-22 YLT
(12) Giving thanks to the Father who did make us meet for the participation of the inheritance of the saints in the light,
(13) who did rescue us out of the authority of the darkness, and did translate us into the reign of the Son of His love,
(14) in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of the sins,
(15) who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation,
(16) because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created,
(17) and himself is before all, and the all things in him have consisted.
(18) And himself is the head of the body—the assembly—who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all things —himself—first,
(19) because in him it did please all the fulness to tabernacle,
(20) and through him to reconcile the all things to himself—having made peace through the blood of his cross—through him, whether the things upon the earth, whether the things in the heavens.
(21) And you—once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now did he reconcile,
(22) in the body of his flesh through the death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before himself,
1 John 2:1-6 YLT
(1) My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Yeshua Christ, a righteous one,
(2) and he—he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world,
(3) and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;
(4) he who is saying, 'I have known him,' and his command is not keeping, a liar he is, and in him the truth is not;
(5) and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.
(6) He who is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk.
1 Corinthians 15:1-28 YLT
(1) And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which also ye did receive, in which also ye have stood,
(2) through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye did believe in vain,
(3) for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings,
(4) and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Writings,
(5) and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve,
(6) afterwards he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till now, and certain also did fall asleep;
(7) afterwards he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
(8) And last of all—as to the untimely birth—he appeared also to me,
(9) for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God,
(10) and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that is towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that is with me;
(11) whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so ye did believe.
(12) And if Christ is preached, that out of the dead he hath risen, how say certain among you, that there is no rising again of dead persons?
(13) and if there be no rising again of dead persons, neither hath Christ risen;
(14) and if Christ hath not risen, then void is our preaching, and void also your faith,
(15) and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;
(16) for if dead persons do not rise, neither hath Christ risen,
(17) and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, ye are yet in your sins;
(18) then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ did perish;
(19) if in this life we have hope in Christ only, of all men we are most to be pitied.
(20) And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead—the first-fruits of those sleeping he became,
(21) for since through man is the death, also through man is a rising again of the dead,
(22) for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive,
(23) and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ, afterwards those who are the Christ's, in his presence,
(24) then—the end, when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless all rule, and all authority and power—
(25) for it behoveth him to reign till he may have put all the enemies under his feet—
(26) the last enemy is done away—death;
(27) for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, it is evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him,
(28) and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the all in all.
Ephesians 1:3-14 YLT
(3) Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
(4) according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
(5) having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Yeshua Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
(6) to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,
(7) in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
(8) in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
(9) having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
(10) in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth—in him;
(11) in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,
(12) for our being to the praise of His glory, even those who did first hope in the Christ,
(13) in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth—the good news of your salvation—in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
(14) which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
Isaiah 53:1-12 YLT
(1) Who hath given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of Jehovah, On whom hath it been revealed?
(2) Yea, he cometh up as a tender plant before Him, And as a root out of a dry land, He hath no form, nor honour, when we observe him, Nor appearance, when we desire him.
(3) He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we esteemed him not.
(4) Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, And our pains—he hath carried them, And we—we have esteemed him plagued, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
(5) And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace is on him, And by his bruise there is healing to us.
(6) All of us like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet on him, The punishment of us all.
(7) It hath been exacted, and he hath answered, And he openeth not his mouth, As a lamb to the slaughter he is brought, And as a sheep before its shearers is dumb, And he openeth not his mouth.
(8) By restraint and by judgment he hath been taken, And of his generation who doth meditate, That he hath been cut off from the land of the living? By the transgression of My people he is plagued,
(9) And it appointeth with the wicked his grave, And with the rich are his high places, Because he hath done no violence, Nor is deceit in his mouth.
(10) And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed—he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.
(11) Of the labour of his soul he seeth—he is satisfied, Through his knowledge give righteousness Doth the righteous one, My servant, to many, And their iniquities he doth bear.
(12) Therefore I give a portion to him among the many, And with the mighty he apportioneth spoil, Because that he exposed to death his soul, And with transgressors he was numbered, And he the sin of many hath borne, And for transgressors he intercedeth.
2 Corinthians 5:21 YLT
(21) for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.
Psalms 16:10 YLT
(10) For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption.
Isaiah 26:19 YLT
(19) 'Thy dead live—My dead body they rise. Awake and sing, ye dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs is thy dew, And the land of Rephaim thou causest to fall.
Acts 13:33-39 YLT
(33) God hath in full completed this to us their children, having raised up Yeshua, as also in the second Psalm it hath been written, My Son thou art—I to-day have begotten thee.
(34) 'And that He did raise him up out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath said thus—I will give to you the faithful kindnesses of David;
(35) wherefore also in another place he saith, Thou shalt not give Thy kind One to see corruption,
(36) for David, indeed, his own generation having served by the will of God, did fall asleep, and was added unto his fathers, and saw corruption,
(37) but he whom God did raise up, did not see corruption.
(38) 'Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared,
(39) and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous;
Romans 6:23 YLT
(23) for the wages of the sin is death, and the gift of God is life age-during in Christ Yeshua our Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:20-28 YLT
(20) And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead—the first-fruits of those sleeping he became,
(21) for since through man is the death, also through man is a rising again of the dead,
(22) for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive,
(23) and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ, afterwards those who are the Christ's, in his presence,
(24) then—the end, when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless all rule, and all authority and power—
(25) for it behoveth him to reign till he may have put all the enemies under his feet—
(26) the last enemy is done away—death;
(27) for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, it is evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him,
(28) and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the all in all.
NOTE:
The Amplified Bible may be a more understandable translation for verses 27-28:
1 Corinthians 15:27-28 AMP
(27) For He [the Father] has put all things in subjection under His [Christ's] feet. But when it says, All things are put in subjection [under Him], it is evident that He [Himself] is excepted Who does the subjecting of all things to Him.
[Ps. 8:6.
Psalms 8:6 YLT
(6) Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.]
(28) However, when everything is subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also subject Himself to [the Father] Who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all [be everything to everyone, supreme, the indwelling and controlling factor of life].
1 Corinthians 15:45-47 YLT
(45) so also it hath been written, 'The first man Adam became a living creature,' the last Adam is for a life-giving spirit,
(46) but that which is spiritual is not first, but that which was natural, afterwards that which is spiritual.
(47) The first man is out of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord out of heaven;
2 Corinthians 5:20-21 YLT
(20) in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, 'Be ye reconciled to God;'
(21) for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.
1 Corinthians 15:3-11 YLT
(3) for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings,
(4) and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Writings,
(5) and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve,
(6) afterwards he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till now, and certain also did fall asleep;
(7) afterwards he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
(8) And last of all—as to the untimely birth—he appeared also to me,
(9) for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God,
(10) and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that is towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that is with me;
(11) whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so ye did believe.
Now the stage is set:
• Perfect man, the first Adam, has disobeyed and, along with all his offspring down through the ages, fallen from YHVH’s grace but not from YHVH’s love - all condemned to die in our imperfection.
• Satan has challenged YHVH by claiming than every human will choose his own life instead of obedience to YHVH.
• A new Adam, a perfect human, has arrived, whose mission it is to redeem, by surrendering His perfect life, Adam and all mankind from the last, great enemy, death.
• Satan has tried to turn Yeshua from His mission - and Yeshua has overcome Satan.
• Yeshua has spent 3-1/2 years teaching humans about YHVH's Plan and demonstrating YHVH's power through miracles.
