Great Sermon! Great lecture on the resurrection. However the passage in 1Cor. he sites upon examination doesn't seem to teach a premil but rather a postmil outcome of history.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.
24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power.
25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
The order that Paul speaks of is the order of the resurrection and not the order of history when one examines the verses previous to 23.
Further if it were a historical chronology then Paul would not have said 'dei gar' in verse 25 in place of the word FOR in most translations which LITERALLY means 'FOR IT IS NECESSARY' and would have used the word 'kai' in English meaning 'and.'
Therefore Paul states the purpose of the previous passage for which the goal is, for him to reign until he brings all enemies under his feet.
If the Premil view was true then the use of the word UNTIL in verse 25 would not mesh since according to the Premil view He IMMEDIATELY has all His enemies under His feet after the Second Coming. UNTIL implies a PROCESS and not a COMPLETION.
He's a phenomenal speaker, I learned a lot.
