Hebrews 2:8 putting everything in subjection under his feet." Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. !!!

Mt 13:13 - This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

My dear friend, I believe Paul was speaking of themselves being the bride of Christ. Notice in the verses immediately following this teaching Paul begins to "Show them a mystery", mortality putting on immortality. This is what was yet to be accomplished and they were told to wait for the Lords return to be "caught away", not seeing physical death. Then they would rule and reign with Christ. Christians today mistakenly read this as a hope for today.
