Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
Then comes the final moment, when Christ hands over the entire kingdom to God the Father, after he's completely taken down every other power, authority, and ruler that exists.
Jesus is going to wrap up history by giving everything back to the Father once he's dealt with all opposition.
