YES, ST. PAUL GETS A LITTLE REACTIONARY TOO!

In 1 Corinthians, verses 22-26, St. Paul echoes the malevolence found in the Old Testament when he writes about the 2nd Coming of Christ:

(New Revised Standard version)
22 for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, F78 when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after he has destroyed every ruler and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
